That’s the look of full-body vaginismus.
4 of those are running for President, so that may answer this question. Other than that, who knows?
I did, too.
Actually, I would have expected the candidates to be in white to show fealty to the tribe (both the ‘tribes’ of woman and progressives).
I am more curious now about what the other senators were wearing. I guess I would assume white or they would have been mentioned.
When I started looking at this, I only knew about Harris and Gillibrand (from photos), so I thought maybe the senate women had decided on black as a contrast of some sort, but the other colors torpedoed that idea.
Turns out that the Doofus in Chief needed to have “keemo” spelled out phonetically for him.
M-O-O-N … that spells chemo.
Melania’s guest, Joshua Trump, fell asleep during the brilliant speech:
I particularly love the response thread, which basically consists of:
1a: Somebody offering the explanation “that’s how it was spelled on the kid’s poster”
2a: Somebody posting an image of the kid’s poster, with “CHEMO” spelled correctly.
1b: Somebody offering the explanation “that’s how it was spelled on the kid’s poster”
2b: Somebody posting an image of the kid’s poster, with “CHEMO” spelled correctly.
. . .
1q: (what part of this pattern eludes you?)
I feel at once sorry for the kid being bullied due to his name being Trump and for him due to his name being Trump.
And the pro-Trump replies are right out the playbook!
I actually don’t see why this is a big deal. Newscasters have words that might trip them up spelled out phonetically all the time. Granted, it’s usually names and more difficult words, but Of all the substantive things to harp on, this one is kind of silly, IMHO. I could actually imagine myself reading from a script and stumbling on the word “chemo” and saying something like “kemmo” because it’s an unusual looking word.
How old is this Falwell guy, six?
Of course, the speech could have simply used the word “chemotherapy”, but then again, Trump can’t read too fucking good.
Wonder if his dad gets bullied at work…
Ché Mother Rapey?
“What is ‘what your mother asked me for last night in bed, Alex’?”
This is perhaps not the right thread for this - and I’m sure many will find it too simplistic to take seriously (or alternatively, far too complicated for certain Republican presidents to comprehend) - yet for having been produced in 1971, it seemed to me a prescient response to the 2019 SOTU:
How about some clue as to what it’s about? Not in a position at the moment to watch a SIX MINUTE video. Thank you.
Per the video description: “Concentrating on an area of growing concern in our society–the indifference that makes people blind to the injustices around them–this animated parable traces how the erosion of freedom, like the pollution of natural resources, can occur so gradually that both evade the attention of a busy and preoccupied nation. (Narrated by Orson Welles)”
Give me a break. The President of the United States should be able to pronounce such a common word without having it spelled out for him. *Chemo *is a VERY common word today. You see this as something inconsequential. I see it as one more example of this man’s unfathomable STUPIDITY.
