America - The Official Thread

[Biggles]

I remain fascinated by the Fox viewers'/readers' perspective. This characterization isn't a joke, but a pretty accurate description of the way they seem to view the world ... except that the "Liberal" circle should just be a part of the larger Pinko commie left-wing lesbian tree-hugging gay pot-smoking liberal hippie fag section.

Fox viewers that support Trump are a whole league of their own. They think they are the elite and the rest are too dumb. Which apparantly what the left in the US also think. It seems to me the majority do support centre politics, but because of Trump polarizing everything (if you dont support me, you hate america and are a socialist) their voices are drowned out.

How big a trip would it be if that anonymous source turned out to be none other than Mike "Christian Rites Over Civil Rights" Pence? Thing is...it doesn't strike me as that big a stretch because, deep down, he's an opportunistic right-wing radio personality who just happens to have had some success attaining political office, and has probably been sowing the seeds from the very beginning as he rides Trump like Yoda rode Luke.

Edit to italicize "that", to apply the emphasis that I originally intended.

I see someone's dug into Dennis Hoppers box of photos....

Find the differences. Both taken at the moment a terrorist leader was succesfully assassinated.

Could you be less vague about the differences? Or, maybe highlight the differences you want seen?

Nothing special, just how both photo's differ in "vibes". Both photos were apparantly taken at the moment Bin laden and Al baghdadi were killed.

The differences that I personally noticed:
Trumps photo looks posed with Trump front and centre and under the logo. (like a "fake"instagram photo)
In Obamas photo everybody looks engaged and it feel like a team effort, with potus sitting in the background.

I am biased, so everybody should have their own take on the photos.

("vibes"?)

The feeling you receive from viewing a photo. I am not sure what word in english is more appropiate. (I am a hobbiest photographer)

 

[Dennisch]

A group of people having serious faces because a bunch of highly trained men are on a search and destroy mission on someone who deserves to die.

You're searching for things that aren't there, apart from Trump maybe wanting to be in the centre of the picture.

Boo frikkin' hoo.

 

[Rage Racer]

There seems to be a tradition among the US leaders - to kill a terrorist leader just before getting re-elected...

Uhhh...oookaaay? Is that a particularly useful metric by which to compare two broadly similar images?

If the image on the left has 765 vibes, a quarter of which are light teal in color, and the image on the right has just 369 vibes--less than half the number of vibes--but a whopping 97% of them smell like freshly laundered pillowcases, precisely what does that tell us?

And there you have it, lesson number one in How Photos Work.

 

[Dennisch]

Natural red heads should be a protected species.

NOT WITH MY TAX DOLLARS!!!

Use my Euros, they're worth more.

 

[Danoff]

We should expand this to blondes as well.

 

[TexRex]

No, they already have more fun.

 

[Dotini]

Natural red heads should be a protected species.

It's been said that redheads have certain genetic traits which are considered superior. But should genetic elites be protected, or should the protection go to the others?

Edit:
Another example might be the "universal blood donor", those with the O negative blood type. Is this trait valuable for society to identify and protect, or is it medically obsolete?

 

[TenEightyOne]

Use my Euros, they're worth more.

Use my Pounds Sterling, they're... oh, dammit.

 

[Liquid]

Natural red heads should be a protected species.

I support this policy.

I'm a redhead; GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!

Has it been proven one way or the other that Trump was or was not golfing when this took place and his photo was staged?

Unknown, but I'd be willing to believe that this picture was taken in the new command bunker at Mar-a-Lago.

The lack of orange should be a dead giveaway that this Trump is in fact a wax statue.

Why are there so many disconnected Ethernet cords?

It's common to have tables with power and ethernet built into them in conference rooms. In this case, it looks like there is a cover for that center trough that was forgone. Further, speaking from experience, low level IT in the Gov sector is generally $#!%. Mix that with "we need this set up 10 minutes ago" and this is a typical result.

Add to that the fact that conference rooms often have different networks, I suspect the Yellow network is for eyes-only stuff while the Red network is for crappy low-level Health and Safety training days. Or something along those lines.

Possibly. Though, I would imagine that would be more AD and NAC based. (They better have implemented NAC for all the trouble we are going through doing it now thanks to federal requirements.) I imagine it's more likely one color is for data and the other IP phones. But, honestly. I couldn't even begin to guess. The more I look at that picture, the more anxiety I get looking at that CM trough. That is really bad.

An attempt to prevent Trump from tweeting?

 

[Dotini]

I'll be guessing it was because those cords were normally connected to Congressional offices, which were out of the loop in this op, consisting only of Trump, Russians, and the operators in the field.
