This is just about the most chilling image I've seen of Dear Leader & his concubine.

Straight up fascism. I'm surprised they weren't waving around a bible.

All that for the obvious photo op. Since he does do test marketing, equating himself with a bible didn't work out, so on to exploiting a National Holiday.

I mean, you talk about reality TV scripting. Look at that frame! It's all an illusion and a way of making associations for "believers" who are so divorced from any consensus reality at all that its hard to see how they are a part of a functional society.

The picture: Predator Trump and the First Whore pose for a National Fascism propaganda photo op. It's all in the perception. Manipulate that and you don't actually have to offer anything tangible.

Now, I am going to go "get used to" the COVID-19 pandemic as it explodes in my face as per the Trump plan.

Oh and: monuments, totems, idols! Yay! Dictator pride! What would Moses say?

When he was doing his maximum amount of puffed up preening on the stage?

I thought I saw a shot of her standing way behind his big, enormous behind.

Not too many holidays left where you can preen for the cameras, and those are Labor Day and <heh, heh, heh> Columbus Day!
