He needs to stop dying his hair. It looks unnatural and makes him look older. Let it go gray. SharonAnn Feb 2021 #18

I think it's a bald spot.

In fact, I'm now thinking it's much more than a bald "spot" but that he's very, very bald and has a pretty audacious combover in front.

But yeah it took me several days to decide it was not a yarmulke.

Earlier this week I was sure it was a yarmulke.

Today I decided a bald spot!

the forward edge of it. But if it is, it's flesh-colored.

His hair looks too thick in front for it to be a bald spot in back.



On edit: internet says it is a bald spot.

It doesn't matter to me which it is. He was extremely credible, eloquent, and trustworthy. If he ever runs for POTUS against any Repugnant, he would have my vote. In the primaries, it would be tough to choose because we have so many great people from AOC to Warren

Nah, not moral police. I was thinking the same thing, trying to figure it out. But what he said and how he said it- wow! We have a deep bench of incredible talent. It took me a little bit to get past my curiosity about that and get into thinking we need more politicians like him and fewer like Halsey/Graham/Cruz/Generic Repugnant.

more meat on the bones. By that I mean unfutable hard evidence. Communication documented from WH to participants. Hard links. Or documentable evidence that trump actively stopped NG from being there ? Like many said - impeachment happened too soon.

Do you think it was possible that it all just miraculously happened with a wink and a nod?

Very clear today.

Besides, who would wear a flesh-colored yarmulke that makes it look like you have a bad bald spot?

Finally, in an interview after his bout with colon cancer, it mentioned his balding. He joked that he hadn’t lost hair during the long chemo treatment, but wished that they had a chemo that grew hair.
