I’ve heard that before too but being an old bastard, I’m pretty certain Clinton didn’t do it until after he was debating Bob Dole. Bob Dole used this gesture because he held a pen during debates. And he held a pen in his non-dominant hand because he had an injury in WWII and the way his hand curled made him look weak.
That’s the big question isn’t it? I don’t know the legality behind it, but being paid by someone other than the citizenry is extremely problematic. Taking an oath to the Constitution (that protects the rights of the people) while being paid by an individual, well that starts turning the corner from standing army to being mercenaries.
I think it’s just them realizing that without the military protecting them by threat or actual force, they’re liable to be literally on the chopping block. To that end, I will note that the private military contractors have seemingly been disturbingly quiet for having an authoritarian in power.
They got private donors to fund the troops, I believe.
I also didn’t know about the Nazi connection, it looks like something a biker would have, which should have been a red flag to the imagery I guess, but it looks like a kind of standard skull to me otherwise.
I have a raised eyebrow on Platner. He seems genuine. A couple of odd details admittedly. But unless he’s some kind of psyop candidate, he seems fine enough. I do wish his cover up for a Nazi symbol was much further away from the accusation than Celtic symbols.
It’s definitely a thought, though. I think they’ve been doing that lately. Moving too fast. Overplaying their hand. Being too overt in their power grabs. Rocking the boat more than they need to. A lot of pundits seem to think the urgency is because of Trump’s quickly failing health. That does seem to track
As if he wasn’t going to do this anyway. It’s just faster for him to do it without the uproar. If the media were doing their job calling out how batshit stupid he is, maybe it wouldn’t have gotten to this point.
Had to stop though since I found myself going through the fridge on a Sunday once looking for some alcohol.
I had a similar experience except I’d open the fridge before work and instinctively grab a beer or start to grab one before I realized I was just there for creamer.
It might be the case. But look at the candidates we’ve had that are women. They’re fucking awful. Hillary has politics that are probably to the right of Nixon, Jill Stein is clearly a Russian operative, and Kamala is a fucking disingenuous cop. So yeah, this country has a shit electorate, but the candidates have done nothing to show me that we absolutely wouldn’t vote for a woman candidate.
That’s a good point. Also, his war with Latin America would be fucking up his supply
He’s a germaphobe. He likes his lab produced Adderall instead of cocaine from whenever.
They don’t care, it’s not their money since they don’t pay their fair share of taxes.
I absolutely get that. Truly. It’s a lot. You don’t have to self host SearXNG though. You can use one of the public instances. Self hosting just adds a couple of perks is all. I’m glad you’ve de-Googled! It’s not an easy task.
For future reference, I self-host an instance of SearXNG to get away from Google. It feels much like search used to be (and searching for “wealthy brain damage” this was like the fifth result). There are public instances as well. It’s extremely useful and I hope people utilize it as their default search engine to get away from Google. https://searx.space/
Would he be qualified for this administration if he wasn’t a sex offender?
The back tattoo was Roger Stone. Although we’ve not heard much about him for a while, I promise he’s got his sticky little mitts in the administration currently. In some fashion.
This happened two years ago in Trump time.
Oh, LazyLibrarian. I guess no one else could figure out how it works. I still try after updates… Nope. If it works, I just don’t understand it.
Because they’re both too fucking weird and angry to ever be elected by anyone. Just parasites riding the shark.
