Is this like a big fireworks display that no one should come and see? What next, no one go look at the beautiful forests or oceans?

"Dang, I was all juiced to stand out in the cold for 8 hours without a bathroom break, just to see some stupid ball”!

Let's make something prefectly clear: after eight hours in the cold, my ball isn't going to drop. Either of them. You stand there like a fool. I'll be enjoying a rum and egg nog by the fire.

Only the homeless and drug addicts will be allowed to drop their balls in Times Square on New Year’s Eve. Mayor DeBall-less will join them.

essential workers will be allowed to watch the ball drop from a private spot...

Just like the old Soviet Union. Only elite members of the party were allowed to participate in special events.

Come on DG, would you just love to do a couple of passes on Times Square and get some? I mean it would be so crowded you wouldn’t need to lead at all. Just drop the m’f’ers.

“Sounds like a challenge to me...”

That’s what I’m thinking.

I wish they would DROP A BALL SAYING 2020...and smash it all to hell on the concrete below. I would pay to watch that!

Assemble anyway.

I’ll pay for the paint if someone prints Deep State on it first.

I’m hoping. Then maybe we’ll get a 1980 again. This time maybe Congress also.

That’s my biggest hope to get thru this peaceably.
