Two presidential photo ops:
The photographer who caught that one will be shot later today.
The subject for that one is the Georgia women’s tennis team. Can you tell? They’re the ones tucked away in back, behind the old white men in suits with garish red ties.
You now know everything you need to know about the current administration.
Well, given that the alternative was having Donald in the back with his hands out of sight behind the women’s tennis team, we ended up with the somewhat less creepy outcome.
What I can’t understand is why the Georgia’s womens tennis team would even consent to be there. I hope they have a better idea now of just how little respect they were given.
The guy in the brown shoes will be shot for not wearing Trump shoes.
The misogyny is so ingrained the “bro’s” aren’t even aware of it. It’s not the state of the administration as much it is the state of the country. Women are still underrepresented, underserved and underpaid throughout the society. And, now, any gains women have made are being stamped out by the made-up “anti DEI” push which is legalized discrimination.
No diversity; only straight, white, “christian” men allowed.
No equality; men are better than women, obviously.
No inclusion; men’s only club, girls have cooties.
Larry @ #2 — Georgia. Nuf said.
Note that Dumpster is standing on the first riser with two of the women which makes him seem even taller.
In the top photo, the guy on the right with the dark beard has a fist ready to pop that bastard, and his scowl says he’ll use it.
How many of you can remember the golden “Obama’s Muslim prayer curtain” hanging behind the girl’s team? The flying monkeys lost their shit over that insanity.
You might want to know a few more things, such as they are going after the Southern Poverty Law Center
Mehmet Oz is a shameless purveyor of snake oil, but he’s also an actual physician. He looks like he knows that there’s something to be concerned about.
I, for one, look forward to Markwayne Mullin posting a selfie of himself with a finger in Sleepy Don Trump’s nostril, as he does.
Ewww, but oh so apropos, amirite?
Seems this is an edit, and his head didn’t tilt over quite that much, although he is still Sleepy Don.

He’s not sleeping, he’s fighting wokeness.
@11 eastexsteve
LOL!
In retrospect, clearly these young women shouldn’t have gone to the White House (several teams have refused to go when invited by Trump), but I can’t really blame them. Apparently ALL their coaches are men. Who stood in front, as if claiming the glory that really belongs to the athletes.
chrissevern @10, good pickup.
Wonder how many of those men (said lightly) hit on those young things? Maybe Dr. Oz can prescribe something for Donny to keep him awake.
@10 chrissevern — Yes it’s faked, but if you watch the video from which it was taken (posted later in the thread), he appears to fall asleep, snapping himself awake and struggling to open his eyes. Editing the image like this serves no purpose (other than giving ammo to skeptics) when the truth is right there.
Mmmhmm.
(Notice it got posted here, by someone who is allegedly alert to AI slop? Viral spread)
@1. Trump helping and probable Trumpist troll “beholder” : Actually a vastly better by Megaparsecs alternative would have been Kamala Harris as the POTUS in that picture.
Kamala as the POTUS full stop.
What the fuck is wrong with you that faced with choosing behween her and him you chose – supported, voted and argued for years for him? Faced with choosing between fascism and non-Fascism, you chose Fascism.
Questions I doubt you’ll ever have the courage or decency to face and answer.
@10 chrissevern & #17 John Morales :
That’s fake? It convinced me. Horribly hard to tell AI from real now as an experiment (or three) proved in a recent ABC doco series The Matter of Facts* in one of its episodes.*
@15. stuffin : “Maybe Dr. Oz can prescribe something for Donny to keep him awake.”
Dunno about Dr Oz but I’m pretty sure Don Jr could!
@6. Chris Whitehouse : “How many of you can remember the golden “Obama’s Muslim prayer curtain” hanging behind the girl’s team? The flying monkeys lost their shit over that insanity.”
I’ve forgotten that one. Will have to look it up – thanks.
There’s just been so many and so much it does get hard to keep track of.

I do believe now that tennis players are supremely qualified for government. Further, I do hope that the replacement happens in short order.
As @13 Petesh pointed out the other men in the Georgia team photo are associated with team. The three on the right are the coaches and the two on the left are the Director of Athletics at University of Georgia and one of his subordinates. The red ties are possibly because one of the school colors is red.
However there may be other things going on. Several of the players are not US citizens and are from Ukraine, Turkey, and Thailand (all in the back row). A posted video shows Trump entering the room with the team already posed, men in front, then Trump shaking the hands of the men but only waving to the women. It is possible the team set up things so that Trump wouldn’t have much physical contact with the women on the team and as a side effect the men ended up in front in the picture. The university certainly has political reasons to remain ambiguous.
He seems a bit mediocre. I hope he makes out well for himself. It would give me hope.
