FYI, some of those cabinet members have expressly ordered their agencies to disregard some of m*sks crap. They aren't even all on the same page.

I don't believe you - I believe he's looking at his phone. Show me the video.

Let's hope the coke and the ketamine are doing their jobs in Muskrat's body and brain.

What is up with the hand of the person on the bottom left corner?

50 l 50 he's looking at memory of "that one time with Epstein and those girls", or in a Big Mac coma.

The optics of Musk addressing the room while Trump is disengaged are bad enough without simply making up things that are not there.

"Why is Elon Musk acting as the leader while Trump is disengaged" is a hard question for a reasonable person to deal with.

Saying "lol look at Trump sleeping" when that's obviously not what is happening, makes you come off as unserious and casts doubt on anything you say in the future.

Spreading misleading lies is not the way to engage with the world. (To those of you that are people and not disinformation bots/agents)

If optics still mattered, I don't think Trump would have won any election, let alone 2.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

That's no reason to abandon truth and give in to rampant misinformation.

How is it obvious that he isn't sleeping? He looks like he's sleeping. Without the caption I would assume he's sleeping as well.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

his eyes are closed too, conservatives try to say hes posting on truth social.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (6 children)

His hands are very close together, he's looking between his hands and we know Trump is a social media junkie.

Without the caption you would assume he's sleeping because someone probably flipped through hundreds of frames of video to find the shot that looked the worst so they could post about it.

Trump, if you're to believe the rumors, uses stimulants and drinks a lot of caffeinated soda. He's not falling asleep in the middle of the day.

It's worse, he's letting an unelected man, the richest man in the world, who paid for his campaign, act as the leader while he reads Twitter.

Him merely being asleep would be preferable over Musk being in the room. Incompetent and lazy leadership by Trump would be vastly better than his simply handing the reigns of power to an unelected non-American.

That's the messaging that needs to be happening. All this is going to do is make the blue team laugh and the red team think the blue team is ignorant.

Meanwhile, Elon is taking a chainsaw to our entire government while we're too busy trying to score points on the other team (who are the people we need to be allying with to protect the US).

I'm not suggesting people lie, but your messaging doesn't have to be completely true to work. That's how the red team got elected in the first place

"Beat them by becoming them" is your strategy?

I'm not saying that lying and manipulation don't work. I'm saying that we shouldn't be on the team of the liars and manipulators.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

You are both right and I've really learned something from your comments, thanks.

This picture makes me think of the boardroom scene in the movie Dogma.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

To me this picture says one thing: these reps and the sycophants that surround them were never representing the ppl. They just represent what keeps them, personally, in power.
