Is he not in the business of selling the Trump Bibles to schools? Bullshit is hurting my head.

Didn't that actually happen, and they had a private do-over?

John Toberts (Chief Justice of the SC) misspoke one of the lines that Obama was supposed to say. Obama, being an intelligent man had rehearsed the speech and recognized that it was incorrect. Obama Said back the correct wording even tho Roberts said it wrong. They did re-do it privately for exactly the howler monkeys on Fox News who were shitting-in-their-hands happy about to start flinging poo.

Yeah but if AOC makes a gesture that looks a lot like a nazi salute, nobody cares about it. It's a double standard, but nobody actually thinks AOC is a nazi or was trying to evoke nazi imagery. Double standards aren't always automatically bad or wrong. They need to be considered in the context of the person and what they stand for.

Can you please show me what you are referring to and the context? Because the context of the event discussed was very clear. It wasn't a never do this educational situation. Dude just had to say, my bad it looked like that but I was caught up in the moment and meant to put my hand out with an open palm like Jesus in Rio but we instead accidentally kept them facing down.

A lot of the issue stemmed from him doing it twice after supporting a far right Germany movement and not just saying my bad.

Yeah that's my point. It has a lot more credibility as an accusation against Musk compared to when AOC did something very similar. Because nobody thinks AOC is a Nazi. It's a bit of a double standard, but so what?

This is what I'm referring to. If you can find the video it really does look like a nazi salute, but nobody actually thinks that it is, in any way: https://x.com/APTeacher1754/status/1882043612122497239/photo/1

Obama put his hand on the Constitution. Maybe this is a sarcastic meme? I don't know
