Ahah, that's relevant. Though the only difference this time will probably be Schumer having less facetime because the Democrats having vastly less power in Congress/the Senate. Nobody in the room is making any decision that would meaningfully worsen their conditions or those of anyone whose conditions they care about.

Correct, this was from a brief phase where Trump was trying on bipartisanship, and Schumer was trying to connect with him as a fellow New Yorker. I remember the talk at the time was Trump might go the way of Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was CA governor, tacking to the center and trying to become bipartisan to improve his approval ratings and mitigate midterm losses and ultimately set him up better for reelection. Obviously, it didn't work out like that, but there was a brief time where bipartisanship was on the table.

Baldy looks like it might be General John Kelly... Even though most pictures of him have some hair.

Man, Armagastan is such an accurate name for what America is these days.

It even eludes towards Armageddon, it's perfect.

Picture looks adversarial af. Caption: They're all friends.

Yeah, okay.

Trump's embracing Schumer here, I'd rate this 0% adversarial because I'm a sicko who's seen their body language/interactions which were well documented during the first Trump admin.

Schumer has got a scolding finger up in the way of the attempted nonconsensual embrace.

during the first Trump admin.

Picture is from 2017

I'm sure a certain narrative will be curated here.

Being cordial at work: ITS A CONSPIRACY

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

This is just your average liberal "democracy" where both the ruling parties work for their corporate backers. What seems like a "conspiracy" here?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

You didn't even try with that one. You ok, kiddo?
