I'm actually surprised he owns one, I figured he was like my BIL who breaks out his fanciest polo and pair of jeans for formal occassions.

[-] utopologist@hexbear.net 37 points 1 month ago

Figured he might be one of these guys

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

He is NOT one of ours

Gotta look your best when pandering for that sweet sweet AIPAC money.

Do NOT diss the jeans and polo fit.

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Hey, I rock that shit at work all the time. Throw in a good pair of running shoes and you’ve got the corporate casual special.

No hate on the fit, just gotta be the right place and time.

[-] john_browns_beard@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Emotionally, yes.

At inauguration __________ At war criminal speech

[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 31 points 1 month ago

Two senators who chose to "retire" rather than lose re-election. And one giant ogre who doesn't realize his future is the same.

It's almost beautiful.

No fantasy race deserves to be compared to D******** politicians

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 month ago

Counterpoint: Redcaps, though maybe not, because redcaps have slightly better reason to kill and do so incredibly ineffectively compared to dems.

"Well yeah, when it's a cause you actually care about and a person you actually want to demonstrate respect to, sure"

Our grandkids will repost pictures like this decades later like we repost the giant Hitler rallys And the cycle will be repeated with another minority and another and another

Her dress looking like a combination of Palestinian and trans flags is really odd given the context

[-] dead@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

Besides being known as a spoiler of progressive action in the Senate, notably for voting down $15 minimum wage, Kyrsten Sinema was declared to be the first bisexual congress member.

The colors looks like this flag to me. I'm not sure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_fluidity

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Yeesh...not all representation is good representation, I guess.

Also I'm not seeing that flag, personally. And in fact, looking at the dress more closely I see there are five colors (black, white, light pink, dark pink, teal) but no repeating pattern. Okay, well technically there's a repeating pattern, but it's quite long (D=dark pink, L=light pink):

W T L B
D T L W
B T L W 
D B T L

In a crop of this photo from Getty

you can see it repeat the first nine colors again, and it just happens that the photo really does capture the last stripe of the dress (confirmed with another Getty photo).

We can also see the colors in a lot higher fidelity compared to the C-SPAN stream which shows that any similarity to palestine-heart was just an artifact of video compression. I'll admit my eye for color isn't the best, but the light pink and blue seem to unambiguously be the shades from flag-trans-pride. The deep pink looks like the color used in flag-bi-pride to me, but it's missing the shades of purple and blue and that doesn't explain the black stripes at all.

idk why I got so fixated on this...just neurodivergent stuff, I guess

What a terrible tragedy that depression lost its battle with John Fetterman

[-] buh@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

The new squad

Thumbs down for minimum wage clap for war criminal

Suit Up For Slaughter sadness

[-] Prole_Strongman@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

He looks absolutely fucking gormless

[-] AnarchoSnowPlow@midwest.social 11 points 1 month ago

At least he has the excuse of brain damage. What about the others?

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Look at all the fascists clapping in the Senate. It is a deliberate choice to stand next to Sinema and Manchin. If kamala-coconut-tree wins, look forward to Fetterman being the spoiler.

Everything is absolutely deliberate when it comes to optics.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Ah fuck, to keep things PG I suddenly remember Templates in old editions of 40k.

[-] ComradePlatypus@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Wonder what the menswear guy has to say. Probably trousers are too low, making tie too short while the knot should be bigger, jacket should be looser around the chest and buttoned (probably why it's unbuttoned aide from going from sitting), jacket sleeves too baggy . Maybe improved by shoulder pads and double breasted suit to make him look more imposing than out of shape.
