I have to say, that photo-op in the Capitol the other day, with shit-eating-grinning Trump and his effing congressional enablers, has been bothering me. Here’s a guy that one Republican leader said was “Morally responsible” for the January 6 riot, where several Americans died and hundreds more have had their lives upended by his lies, standing there surrounded by adoring Republican congresscritters, blathering about becoming President again. There is no bottom, it seems.
Nope. Just one giant asshole after another.
This is allegedly a photo taken yesterday of the crowd who showed up for a ShitGibbon’s visit to a black church.
Those are the whitest black folk I’ve ever see.
Trump: “See! Black people love me so much they spontaneously turn white!”
Kellyann Conway is claiming that 8000 people showed up, and doesn’t say anything about most of them being white.
More DeSantis’ Law of Unexpected Consequences:
Sounds like it’s working exactly as intended.
The individual in question may be stuck between a rock and a hard place — maybe his status is such that he can’t easily transition from an ever-renewing work visa to a permanent residence.
Further development: The church didn’t actually have any African-Americans in the congregation at all. When the right-wing media called it a “black church”, they were just referring to the paint job on the walls.
yeah, no
Went to check. The post has been deleted.
The Black people are sitting in a “special” balcony upstairs in the back-- it’s reserved just for them.
I bet they even have there own special entrance that has a sign that only allows them to use it too!
Wait I just looked at the quote: it says “I just saw the picture of…”. He saw a picture of it. IOW he may have been reacting to a fake picture (or even to a picture of some other building that is just in the same architectural style).
As it turns out, however, Gingrich appears to have mistaken what he saw.
In response to the former speaker’s post on X, Mike Gwin, principal deputy assistant secretary for public affairs at the Treasury, said “Sir, that’s a pride flag.”
Photos taken for Getty Images show the Pride flag being hoisted on May 31, 2024, marking this year’s annual LGBTQ+ celebrations. While the flag has a triangular overlay, like the Palestinian flag, that’s where the similarities end. It has several triangular overlays, unlike the Palestinian flag, and six horizontal colors, reflecting the community’s diversity and inclusion.
They both start with a P, so they must be the same!
So, he missed the opportunity to complain about an actual pride flag? He’s slipping.
Hmm,

nah, it wouldn’t be right to notice that little fact would it?
Well, they feel that homosexuality is “foreign” to America, so it kinda is! /s
