    I have a feeling that if you watch the actual video of those events, you’ll find some differences in the movement of their arms.

      She’s clearly gesturing the idea of ‘looking ahead’ and ‘out there’. She had been doing so for a while, but the screen grab only grabs the one gesture where her hand happens to be flat.

      Elon’s was clearly a salute, particularly since what he said his action was as he was doing it is the definition of a salute.

        Democrats don’t care. They’d rather live in a fake reality. Joe Biden helped fund a literal genocide but they didn’t care about that one bit. They like to believe everyone else is stupid & they are incredibly smart, and to blame everyone but themselves for losing.

          What is your point exactly? Trump says Biden didnt help Israel commit enough genocide and wasn’t supporting US allies enough lmao. It’s literally what lost him the election because democrats cared to show dems they won’t put up for it, lesser evil blabla

          Trump is also about to start another genocide in Ukraine to help is buddies Putin and Kim. When your quality of life drastically changes, I’m sure it’s going to Biden and Obamas fault still while Trump swallows taxpayer money in his pockets and sells national secrets

              Yeah want to be reminded dude said “new healthcare coming in 2 weeks” for 4 years while tearing through the system making money? Nahh, i bet in 6 months you won’t want to talk about Ukraine either.

              Let’s not forget he already tried to fuck Ukraine in his last presidency, AND said he would have ended the war in Ukraine already by just not funding Ukraine and letting Russia win. You might want to set a reminder for 6 months he’s a Russian puppet who has already been caught leaking national secrets, and made himself king to avoid the consequences.

            I guess Democrats should have picked a candidate that had the moral high ground then. Nothing you said matters when Biden helped fund mass murder & Kamala Cheney couldn’t think of anything she’d do differently, other than putting Republicans in her cabinet

              So you agree then.

              “When Biden helped fund a mass murder”.

              Tell me you don’t know what a president does without telling me you don’t know what a president does.

              The president doesn’t allocate the funds. Americans love genocide (and the industrial military complex) so congress spent the money. Israel is an ally of the United States, not of Biden, and Israel has Trumps full support (especially if they rent empty rooms in his hotel). I guess you don’t want to talk about the last time Trump left military allies to die in because Putin asked him.

                Israel wasn’t an ally of, “I’m a proud Zionist,” Biden? You do realize that Biden administration continually vetoed resolutions in favor of Israel… that Anthony Blinken ignored even the US’s own advisors saying that there was a humanitarian crisis? You do realize Biden can veto bills as well? That Biden could have put pressure on Israel & not publicly claim unconditional support of Israel?

                  I’m not saying Biden couldn’t have stopped it, thats why democrats lost, because they could.

                  I am saying Trump directly said he would do the same and more for “our ally israel”. The Palestinian genocide was gonna happen whichever US president was sitting, because it’s an american war machine thing. Also Biden can’t veto everything, only after Trump made the US president a king maybe

                    I agree Trump has expressed similar support for Israel, or even more so in some ways that is scary to think about. My beef is that when it came to the election that Democrats lost the moral high ground in so many ways. A recent poll indicating that up to 13 million more Americans would have showed up to vote if Kamala had broke with Biden on the subject, and I’m sure her praising the Cheney’s didn’t help either. Biden’s position on the Israel/Palestine conflict was deeply unpopular, with around 80% being against it. Kamala also had to go around touting how much corporate CEOs loved her & was afraid to go on any media like TYT cause she wanted all her questions scripted in advance. Not a good look all around.

            I guess Democrats are doomed for eternity then if you want to blame a majority of voters, rather than figure out why Democrats lost so many votes.

              If I push a dog out of a moving car, who’s responsible for the dog falling? Probably me since I pushed the dog.

              Since Trump won the popular vote (this time), whose fault is it that he’s now president?

              I didn’t vote for him so I’m confused as to how it’s my fault.
