14 THOUGHTS ON “Imagery Fail”

    The question that bugs me is when is it too much?
    When will people who think themselves nice, normal people who believe CNN and the NY Times but don’t go out to beat up those they disagree with, stop thinking this is normal?

    I know their whole self-worth is tied up in how much smarter they are than those mega-Maga-morons, but can they ever accept they’re being had?

    When the polar ice caps don’t melt for the 60,000,000 year in a row, when the people who close the schools, make you get a shot and lock you up when you’re healthy keep calling others fascists, will they ever take their heads out of their anterior, posterior and face the cold, hard truth?

    I know quite a few, and the answer appears to be no. They never will.

    Who did it better: Satan, Hitler, or Biden? I don’t count Satan because it’s his métier. Biden doesn’t really count because he’s just the front man so I nominate a dark horse: Stalin. But for overall style points, it’s gotta be everyone’s favorite (you know him, Dems love him) yes, it’s Hitler!

    When did Make America great become a pejorative? MAGA this MAGA that.  He must scare the shit out of the left.

    I guess Brandon’s handlers decided the swastika look was better optics than the hammer and sickle.

    There are things that trouble me about this, and I don’t include the actual speech.

    First, the Marines. I was not a Marine, but I have a world of respect for them in all things. My hope is that these two, in spite of knowing better, followed the orders of their Commander in Chief or senior Marine officers. It saddens me that anyone in their chain of command would have ever authorized this stunt, much less issued orders to make it happen.

    Second, with all the Hollywood-types who hang around the Biden administration like flies on manure, you’d think that someone would have taken a look at the lighting before the broadcast. The lighting was supposed to be red-white- and blue (there are wide shots showing this.) However, when Gropin’ Joe began his spectacle, the camera pulled in tight and all you saw was that horrible Dante’s Inferno red hell-wall.

    In spite of this being just another political hit piece, it could have been useful if the Dems had just given it some thought. I’m glad they didn’t.

    I did serve in the US Marines and pissed off is not adequate to describe me right now. All brandon needed was a faggoty little “hitler” mustache to complete the outfit.

    ^ About those Marines… Is that an approved stance, with the hands held at waist level at the front? At Attention – hands at the side. At Ease (I think you call it Parade Rest) – hands behind the back. But this?

    So.. are those real Marines, or actors?

    ^Or maybe showing their displeasure at being used as props.
    During the Obama era, he had a Marine behind him who needed a shave badly. I figured that was a statement.

    the marines behind Brandon with the white gloves..guards from the tomb of the unknown soldier, or, crypt keepers and, well, it is the senile tottering doddering resident of the White House.

    Doug, consider some creativity around “Star Trek, Patterns of Force.”

    blake, the Tomb Guards are Army.

    And looking at those Marines, I’m wondering if I did Parade Rest wrong for 22 years.

    ^rick, ah, thanks. I obviously didn’t know that.

    Yannow, I think those two Marines were clenching their fists because they couldn’t slug that fascist asshole who used them for stage props.

    What I don’t get is, on a wider shot, you can see the blue and white bands of light. So it *was lit in RW&B. Yet, the medium cose up was needed to get a good look at him while he blathered, hence showing only the red.
