    Black Republicans: “I sure hope that’s fake or you guys apologize”

    How the hell could it be fake and you know he won’t, but keep towing that party line.

    About 4 or 5 years ago, I was at a relative’s house – The relative was one of those people that basically watch Fox News 24/7. So, unfortunately I was exposed to the literal propaganda that is Fox News. Calling it propaganda is literally and understatement.

    Anyway, at one point during the 5 o’clock “news”, they aired a segment that featured Democrats in congress. They played the audio feed from whatever hearing or whatever was going on, but the video feed was a bunch of chimpanzees in a zoo setting.

    So, what happened today is nothing new. This is who conservative Republicans in the USA are and have always been.

    More importantly, reach out to people in your life, and especially people of color. What happened today is absolutely disgusting, and a lot of people are/were already struggling with things. A bit of kindness, connection with others goes a long way. Community and connections are especially critical in these times, and checking in with your friends, family, and neighbors is basically the least you can do, but also one of the most impactful things you can do right now.

      You’re not wrong, and playing a video feed of chimpanzees while Democrat representatives are speaking is dumb, but I imagine it was a mix of colors and genders. Putting the former PoC president and his wife’s faces on fucking apes is another level. It’s a very old, very specific, and very intentional act of racism…

    Total projection from the orange malignant narcissist. Only he is much lighter colored, hairless, fatter and shits himself.

    “You know who isn’t in the Epstein files? Barack Obama. You know who actually improved the economy as president? Barack Obama,” he added.

    Bruh…

    Is that a real post? That can’t possibly be real… Is it?

    But also, hearing both Barack and Michelle speak and then seeing their faces like this still brings me positive, constructive joy. Seriously. Go listen to an interview with either of them and you’ll feel your whole body stop tensing.

      Doing shit like this without consequences is a virtue to his base. Same with hypocrisy. They know this was vile, if they didn’t it wouldn’t be funny to them. They know when he’s being hypocritical. But has the power to do it anyway, and that makes him godlike to MAGA chuds.

    I have a two part question:

    I’m not familiar enough with the Lion King. Can you tell me the names of these ape characters they’re supposed to portray?

    And the follow up: Do these names appear in the Epstein files as much as Donald Trumps?

      There are no apes in the Lion King. There is a monkey named Rafiki, the colorful-faced mandrill who holds Simba up at the ceremony in the beginning.
