Your “aw” Biden story of the day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On their first overseas trip since her husband Joe became president, U.S. First Lady Jill Biden had a simple message for the world emblazoned across the back of her jacket: “LOVE”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Well, I think that we’re bringing love from America,” said Biden of her black blazer with the word etched in large print on the back.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last we checked in the realm of sentimental symbolism Joseph was handing her a dandelion. Not being a romantic, I scratched my head on that one — aren’t dandelions considered weeds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lest the article drop historical perspective — we gots this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jill Biden is not the first U.S. president’s wife to use a jacket to convey a message. Donald Trump’s wife Melania donned a coat with the words “I really don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care, do u?” for a visit to a Texas shelter housing migrant children in 2018.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a game of political inches based off of automatic partisan hatred<\/a>*, and where the grand branding of “Transformational New FDR'” branding attempts crashes against the limitations of 50 – 50 Congresses and the electoral vantage of that which brung him here — a hodge podge of weary anti Trump anti Bernie sanity establishment seekers —<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I fail to understand Tom Perriello’s point<\/a> on Joe Manchin. Man chin is not Per risk low is working off of his own damned principles — and that par for the course lightning rod role<\/a> someone like Joseph Lieberman once played to spare someone like Senator Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we can huddle into culture war debris and sticking messages of “love” on the back of jackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come to think of it, Melanie Trump’s jacket message served the same branding symbolism purpose — a post modern “It’s all a game” meta narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
