If you haven't read the New Yorker piece on POOTWH and General Milley that mrussel linked to the other day, you should. I read the print version last night and its complete madness. POOTWH is not stable and he's not a genius. He has no business being anywhere near the Oval Office.
It made me think that there really needs to be a Blue Ribbon Commission of physicians created in order to evaluate POTUS candidates for fitness for duty, inclusive of physical and mental health evaluations (they are CIC and many military and civilian jobs require physicals and maintenance of good health). Create a pool of doctors in certain fields, 5 in each specialty, chosen by leadership of each party, make them known as nominees but have them serve staggard terms and when its their turn to assess, you don't know who it was, just one of the 5 from each party, 2 for each assessment category and they issue a joint report. GP, Cardio, Psych, Internal, Neuro. Candidates to participate in debates and be on the ballot would need to disclose the findings, in generalities or with a score. When elected, it would be an annual requirement of the office and as CIC. Create an appeals process and have everything as transparent as possible but also protecting patient privacy/confidentiality. Maybe even throw in a multiple choice general world knowledge exam about world history and past/current policy/events, categorized by topic.
Never again should there be anyone even remotely resembling POOTWH in the Oval Office. Ever.

So is not wearing a seatbelt really a thing in MAGAland? If so, why?
Jesus is my seatbelt
One time in 1986, someone died while their seatbelt got stuck
Nobody tells me what to do
I found some rogue scientist on YouTube that says you're just as likely to die bleeding out from "seatbelt cut" as from flying through the windshield
Dying to own the libs
I mean, I don't really care if people I don't know choose not to wear seatbelts (and I don't even support seatbelt laws) but I cannot fathom why anyone would actually not wear one...

White power. POOTWH is a Hitler/Mussolini wannabe.
raised fist is black power. open hand is as you say.
just noticed, Jr is the only one with a pass.....
If you really don’t think it’s not a white power signal, I don’t know what to tell you. The open palm would be too fucking obvious and the closed fist gives POOTWH “plausible deniability.” Do you really think he’d display that if he knew it meant “black power?”
Keep fooling yourselves and believing the excuses. Like everything, context and actions matter. POOTWH is really antiiiiiiiifa? Someone has mentioned how everything is a projection.
dear lord. sure, he's a racist. sure, he raises a fist in the air. that doesn't mean the two are linked. is that why he wears a white shirt too? tan suit anyone?

Fist in the air is a sign of solidarity. Like Hawley showing solidarity with insurrectionists on J6. Fuckstick was showing solidarity with those on the 18th green at a Saudi-funded golf tournament. Hmm... what could be their shared interest? Fascism? The Big Lie? Bone saws? Methamphetamines? (Hint: It ain't BLM.)

Trump's angry words spur warnings of real violence
By DAVID KLEPPER
Today
WASHINGTON (AP) — A man armed with an AR-15 dies in a shootout after trying to breach FBI offices in Cincinnati. A Pennsylvania man is arrested after he posts death threats against agents on social media. In cyberspace, calls for armed uprisings and civil war grow stronger.
This could be just the beginning, federal authorities and private extremism monitors warn. A growing number of ardent Donald Trump supporters seem ready to strike back against the FBI or others who they believe go too far in investigating the former president.
Law enforcement officials across the country are warning and being warned about an increase in threats and the potential for violent attacks on federal agents or buildings in the wake of the FBI’s search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.
Experts who study radicalization and online disinformation — such as Trump's aggressive false claims about a stolen election — note that the recent increase was sparked by a legal search of Trump's Florida home. What might happen in the event of arrests or indictments?
“When messaging reaches a certain pitch, things start to happen in the real world,” said former New Jersey Attorney General John Farmer, a onetime federal prosecutor who now directs the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University. “And when people in positions of power and public trust start to echo extremist rhetoric, it’s even more likely that we’re going to see real-world consequences.”

Again, past actions and behavior taken in context but sure, same-same. And don’t take my word for it, take General Milley’s.
I was merely comparing the hand gestures, which are clearly same-same. I’ll leave the hidden meaning behind them to the experts.
Reactions from an amateur:
The second photo, until very recently, simply meant OK. It's supposed to look like OK. Almost anybody over, say, 55 years of age (maybe younger) will tell you that it used to be a common, positive gesture. That some thugs turned it into a gesture of hatred is none of our doing. I used to use that positive gesture often myself. Now, because of those who would spread hatred of co-oped something positive and turned it to hate, I have had to retrain myself no to use it.
Yeah, sure, it's a small thing. But there are a lot of small (and very big) things that are transforming this nation into ant- science, absence of critical thinking, anti-nature (therefore, anti-life), and pro hatred.
And you don't need to be an expert to see that.

I posted the pics to show you can find anyone using those gestures. I think it is silly to assume anything other than their normal use from COOTWH or even POOTWH. But again, I’m not an expert. I figured my caption would have signaled the lack of seriousness I intended.

OK, thanks for clarifying.
Only what is a Cootwh? Sounds like some kind of strange marsupial or something.
Wait, let me guess- white beaked coot?

Trump is rushing to hire seasoned lawyers — but he keeps hearing ‘No’ By Isaac Arnsdorf, Josh Dawsey, Carol D. Leonnig, Jacqueline Alemany and Rosalind S. Helderman August 16, 2022 at 22:57 ET Former president Donald Trump and close aides have spent the eight days since the FBI searched his Florida home rushing to assemble a team of respected defense lawyers. But the answer they keep hearing is “no.” The struggle to find expert legal advice puts Trump in a bind as he faces potential criminal exposure from a records dispute with the National Archives that escalated into a federal investigation into possible violations of the Espionage Act and other statutes. “Everyone is saying no,” said a prominent Republican lawyer, who like some others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential conversations. Trump is no stranger to legal proceedings, and his scramble to hire lawyers in the face of an ominous federal probe recalls his predicament in the summer of 2017, when he was under scrutiny from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III in the Russia probe. Once again, Trump is struggling to find a veteran criminal defense lawyer with a strong track record of dealing with the Justice Department in a sprawling, multipronged investigation. Longtime confidants and advisers of Trump have grown extremely worried about Trump’s current stable of lawyers, noting that most of them have little to no experience in cases of this type, according to two people familiar with the internal discussions. Taylor Budowich, a Trump spokesman, defended the quality of the former president’s legal team in a statement Tuesday night, pointing to former federal prosecutors Evan Corcoran and James Trusty. “The President’s lead counsel in relation to the raid of his home, Jim Trusty and Evan Corcoran, have decades of prosecutorial experience and have litigated some of the most complex cases in American history," Budowich said. “President Trump is represented by some of the strongest attorneys in the country, and any suggestion otherwise is only driven by envy.” Jon Sale, a prominent Florida defense attorney who worked on the Watergate prosecution team and said he turned down representing Trump last week because he did not have enough time to devote to the case, said “the Trump team needs a first-rate, highly experienced federal criminal practitioner.” “You have to evaluate whether you want to take it,” Sale said. “It’s not like a DUI. It’s representing the former president of the United States — and maybe the next one — in what’s one of the highest-visibility cases ever.” Ordinarily, the prestige and publicity of representing a former president, as well as the new and complex legal issues at stake in this case, would attract high-powered attorneys. But Trump’s search is being hampered by his divisiveness, as well as his reputation for stiffing vendors and ignoring advice. “In olden days, he would tell firms representing him was a benefit because they could advertise off it. Today it’s not the same,” said Michael Cohen, a former lawyer for Trump who was convicted of tax evasion, false statements, campaign finance violations and lying to Congress in 2018. “He’s also a very difficult client in that he’s always pushing the envelope, he rarely listens to sound legal advice, and he wants you to do things that are not appropriate, ethically or legally.”

I imagine Trump would be just about the worst client imaginable. He is just so removed from reality that he will be expecting magic that just can’t happen.

That combined with a history of not paying his lawyers and, well yeah, he's the worst. lol
