Why is today’s Google doodle not something like HE’S GOING DOWN! And don’t give me that ‘short notice’ business. They’ve had _months_ to prepare for this joyous moment. ---

Did anyone else notice the hand gesture Teddy Roosevelt appears to be making in the painting behind Turmp?

That’s what it looks like to me. I imagined it was a huckster of some kind whispering to trump in admiration and encouragement, _“Stick to yer guns, Donnie-- you’ve got ‘em goin’! Those suckers are buyin’ the crap you’re peddlin!”_ ---

> [@Yllaria](#): > > Is the guy in the painting twirling his mustache? I think so, too. But of course Trump chose it because his troglodyte fans can and will interpret it as the White Power sign (if you’ll forgive me for stating the obvious). The right is getting closer and closer to just openly saying their chief goal is the official establishment of white supremacy…and Donald is happy to be the ice-breaker. ---
