Strong PC Principal vibes. Makes sense he turned into “Power Christian Principal” after the MAGA shake-up.
He didn’t need to change his name. Being a Christofascist is what’s politically correct now.
Demonized already, by the Christofascists, PC would be an unacceptable word. the “Power Christian” is to make clear he isn’t “woke”. Ensuring he is indeed politically correct.
I know, I’m just pointing out that since they took over the government, being an evil asshole is now what’s “politically correct.”
You coming at Jesus bro
I’ll kick your ass jesus bro
Hey, those 7 people are having a pretty OK time right there.
Four of those seven people are press covering the event.
Of the remaining three, two are die-hard MAGA enthusiasts getting high on hate, and the third is a dementia patient who has no idea where they are or who’s on stage.
Okay, and where is his security detail? Did he escape them again like he did in the roof?
But to be fair, does anyone know who’s on stage?
Populist culture puppets paid for by billionaires’ coordinated influence machines. Aren’t they all now? Seeing what I see now, I’ve questioned every single band that ever rose to prominence on any national stage because we had a few folks from my local music scene we knew OF and met but they never played one regional nor even required gig locally and did NOT earn their local organic gig stripes before their rise to national prominence.
Rage Against the Machine allowed to exist from a few public park gigs to full stadium/record label signing tours makes way more sense in today’s hindsight 20/20 because I always questioned how truly organic their meteoric rise was. I really want to believe in Tom Morello being authentic but already I’m too betrayed by the machine’s mechanism of co-option to trust any manufactured rage against it that rose from within it now. IDK anymore and that’s the point. Anyone got a sanity check against me for this thinking?
No the other two are there for a grindr date.
Thankfully it won’t crash this time
That’s just Donald Trump
Those two are also security, I guess?
I was ten in 1976 and y’all would not believe what a coast to coast extreme party it was for the entire year. Drawers filled with souvenirs!! There was so much!
And now? This.
Nice, I was -9, but I’m so glad you guys had a good time. I imagine they handed out free money, groceries, and houses. Doctors just randomly circulated amongst the crowds checking people’s health…
And the CIA wasn’t staging coups left and right in South America while flooding Black neighborhood with crack cocaine
So like did that begin on exactly Jan 1 1980 or what?
I should have put /s
Most empires last about 250 years so this is fitting
Rome lasted a thousand years, and has become a benchmark for nationalist regimes that imagine they’re ushering in a new golden age (right before they run out of money and attack Poland). NSDAP was notorious about aspiring to a thousand-year reich which they obviously did not achieve.
The US is making similar golden age noises.
Checking Wikipedia, the British empire was ~450 years, so I’d be interested in examples of ~250 year reigns.
This one died about ten years ago.
I was stuck in a traffic jam just outside DC on 4 July 1976. At the time it was the second biggest traffic jam in US history (Woodstock was worse). We could see the fireworks in the distance.
Same here. We Canadians partied right alongside you in 1976. It was awesome. I looked forward to the blast that America at 250 would be. What a sad waste of potential the US has become.
I fucking hate it. Facist, nazi, racist assholes ruin everything.
Mmm, yeah, nah. This is undercommitment to the facial hair. He needs to either shave it off or go for broke and try for a beard. The hair on his scalp looks really good, but the facial hair makes his face look tiny and has the fullness of the early stages of trichotillomania – or of a chronically underwatered lawn.
go for broke and try for a beard.
That’s what he did. Look at that mustache, I’m female and I can grow a more mustache than this.
I wear a beard to strengthen my jawline and hide the double chin I sprouted in my 30s. I trim it the way that I do to maximize that effect. This dude seems to have done the exact opposite.
I think it’s the double chin and the patches of hair that kind of screw everything up
Both of the security guards must have been challenged keeping all 7 people away from the stage
“Hello Wyoming!!!”
whole state showed up
Tens of people there.
no, I don’t think there are!
Eleven.
That’s one tens.
This is probably mean but someone get this fool a mustache brush for the love of Jesus.
I’ll be charitable. It’s probably a technical rehearsal.
for sure yeah. But it’s still yet another of a million data points showing just how inauthentic every single goddamn thing coming from those people is.
Maybe. But the regime posted it as an example of how fun the event was. And they later took that specific photo down.
The matrix being absolutely right about the 2000s being the high water mark of American culture still feels me with angst
the 2000s being the high water mark of American culture
I’m sorry, but no. You can’t say anything before My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is the high water mark. Gotta be at least 2010.
Just to clarify I’m not saying the matrix was a high water mark. In that movie it literally said the 90-00s was the peak of humanity.
That’s a sound check. There’s no way they didn’t even get a dozen Nazis to show up.
He looks like he would play a pedophile in Reno 911
Method acting.
Who is this?
Rodney Sneertooth. Virtuoso mouthbreather and facial hair afficionado.
That god awful mustache burf🤮
That’s like 8 people?! Wow, this is such a flop.
There are dozena of us! Dozens!
Only there arent.
“There are nearly a dozen of us!”
We just misinterpreted how the event was billed: 250 was the max number of people they were expecting.
“There’s half a dozen of us. Half a dozen!!”
There are dozen of us. Dozen!
