Jesus Christ, every single thing to come out of his campaign and mouth was projection. 'Sleepy Joe' my ass. More like drowsy Donny, who's uppers are always wearing off

I mean, he's obviously just staring at his phone, but if this had been Biden then they'd have been calling him Sleepy Joe in all the headlines. :|

What gets me about this photo is how fundamentally unserious the whole scene appears. The body language of nearly everyone, the lack of focus, the shabbiness of it all… just embarrassing. I’ve seen high school clubs looking more competent and serious.

I know this is just an aesthetics thing, but it gets to me. 🤷

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago

The body language just says "we're all here to blow Elon", except for Trump who is allowed to nap after a hard day of golfing.

What you're picking up on is body language and that's not strictly aesthetics. It's sometimes even more important than verbal language.

OT, but what do you mean "Sign-in Required" when trying to read the post on bluesky, weren't they supposed to be better than twitter?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago (3 children)

This user has requested that their content only be shown to signed-in users.

Huh. I guess that's a feature Bluesky offers. TIL.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It was just added recently, like within a week or so. At least it's the users choice unlike Twitter.

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

Correct, I noticed the feature recently too. I'd imagine it's anti-spam (or at least anti-lurk?) but it's not like you can comment without an account.

I don't see a good enough reason to toggle that unless you're expecting a non-user to leak it to another platform to make fun of you (e.g. Lemmy) and obviously we're proof enough that it isn't much of a deterrent, lol.

Bunch of boot lickers dressed like him

[–] [email protected] 96 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

He is really old, he'll be 79 in june. How many people that are that age, you hear they die, and you're like, "mmhmm, they had a long life." He should be at his country clubs being racist and assaulting women like all the other republicans. Retire, it's just a job man.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 3 months ago (2 children)

He did retire. Here he is asleep in his chair like grandpa after thanksgiving dinner. Musk's in charge now.

He is 2 years younger than my grandad. And I would not trust my grandpa to run the country. He is just too old.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I would dead ass rather roll the dice with your granddad

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

Sadly he could not ever run because he does not have citzenship nor has he ever been to the US afaik. He has been to Mexico though. Maybe that counts.

I would rather roll the dice with my own granddad, and he's already dead

cant fuck up things more than trump

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

More likely he twatting or truthing....whatever the term

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

He's just diddling his phone, writing some stupid shit in all caps on his stupid social network.

[–] [email protected] 178 points 3 months ago (5 children)

While I have saved this for later distribution, it looks more like he's checking his phone. Either way, he's not paying attention.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He's obviously looking at his phone. This isn't the burn the meme makes it out to be.

The real fucked up shit is the world's richest man addressing the Cabinet. In a fucking baseball hat.

That's what it looks like to me. To be honest though just about everything on the internet is probably more important than what Elongated is saying.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh my God this comment just made me realize when the inevitable Watergate type scandal happens with this administration it will be called Elongate

[–] [email protected] 47 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I think we need to retire -gate. Watergate was a laughable nothing of a scandal compared to what the Trump regime does daily.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think we need to retire -gate.

OK. But please let us have Elongate first. It's almost like centuries of English language evolution have led us to this moment.

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

I'll allow it.

I read the caption first and was not expecting that to be THAT hilarious. Holy shit.
