Remember Clint Eastwood? Well we don't have him, but we do have that chair he yelled at during the RNC.
Joe Piscopo showed up to simp at Trump's Trial. Joe Piscopo! What? "Who's Joe Piscopo?" What are you, part of the half the population that's under 40?
I'm over 40 and I had to Google his name to figure out why it sounded familiar.
Not a big fan of 80s SNL or the movie Johnny Dangerously? And if you haven't ever seen the latter, watch it. My mother watched it once. Once.
One Democrat: maybe we shouldn't have homeless people or people dying from lack of health coverage.
Right wingers: COMMUNISM!!!! ALL DEMOCRATS ARE COMMUNIST FAR LEFT ANTIFA!!!
Entire GOP: We're Nazis now.
Right wingers: teehee. We're the good guys.
They didn’t say they’re Nazis, but the campaign has retweeted the black sun in a video last cycle, there was the recent retweet about a unified reich, they did have ‘we are all domestic terrorists’ as a banner at the RNC, and used the shape of a Nazi pin at another event iirc.
Can’t find the pic of the stage right now
Holy shit.
Like, I can see a brief of "thrust stage with 3 screens, entrances between the screens, and access to the screens for manual pointing" might lead to this stage design. The cutouts at the side might be able to be justified for camera access.
But that cutout triangle in the middle would be a pain to engineer and a health & safety nightmare to justify. So the cutout triangle is absolutely deliberate, and will have been discussed in depth. The only reason to keep it is because someone knew.
Edit.
Also, considering their logo is star shaped, I'm surprised the center thrust isn't more star shaped. Seems odd to go from 5 points and many sides to 4 points and 4 sides. Especially considering they are fine with the engineering and h&s justification of a triangle cutout mid-stage
Who wants to remake the government in Christian terms? Where are these pious people?How do their demands line up with Christianity?. A minority of the population empowered by gerrymandering does not get to dictate deeply unpopular policy that will be adopted in a country of 300 million.
I understand there are Christians out there, never have I heard them say they didn’t feel represented. I’ve never seen any pious ones either. Just who is frothing at the mouth ready to “take over”? Otherwise it’s a coup by the 1%
Can someone smarter than me explain why the outside, and not the inside, of the cap is reflected in the table? Or am I just dumb and its been photoshopped
the camera angle makes it reflect in this way, looks like a legit photo to me
Light is funny, reflections are weird.
If you look close, it is two hats sitting on top of each other like at the store. They both have the cap part folded forward into itself so they can be stacked.
Edit: thanks for the downvote but it is exactly what is happening in the picture. It is literally 2 fucking hats.
Wasn't my downvote btw but interesting spot none the less.
Thanks, Guess I should have said that since the caps are folded and stacked the way they are it prevents us from seeing the inside of the cap reflecting off of the table because there is no longer anything there to see.
