I think this is the problem with the liberals/Democrats. The dems just got their asses handed to them in the elections and you still don’t get it. This kind of imagery makes the evil twins look relatable. The image shows two family men who buck tradition. It’s just a room with people in it.
Trump barely squeaked out a win, and that was after many eligible voters were stopped from voting. He won by less than Hillary beat him. But keep simping for the government. Family man. My god that is delusional.
And now junior is confirmed as HHS. Only ONE Republican voted "no", even though so many of them were concerned about the vaccine denialist, conspiracy theorist, heroin addict being in control of trillions of dollars of public health money. Dems can do nothing, regardless of the votes that were cast.
I'm glad that someone gets my point. If anyone who jumped on the bandwagon of insults on this thread (no different from the other side), had rather checked my profile, they would see that I'm no Trumusk supporter. My point is that this imagery appeals to the very people who voted for him.
You could have been a bit clearer in your original post but largely I agree. It’s all a matter of framing. Keep in mind, this is Musk crashing a Trump interview and going on a rant from behind the resolute desk. The still doesn’t tell the story but you’re right, there’s analysis to do on the sell.
Some are doing ok - AOC is working her crowd, Buttigieg has been here and there, Pritzger has shocked me by demonstrating a competence at trolling, and Crockett is capturing attention, Newsom has been doing ok at drawing fouls - but the old guard need to start taking notes right quick.
I’m aware of their history. I didn’t say that they are two family men. I said that’s what the image portrays. I bet you Musk doesn’t take his son to SpaceX board meetings. The image of the family guys is what Fox is trying to put across.
Read my profile. They are deplorable. I feel anger and hate when I see their faces, but this kind of imagery got them votes. Votes that probably got them over the line. Libs don't get it. Dems will be, "OMG the oval office, the resolute desk!! How dare they??"
Family men? Which one? The one with the umpteen bots he manufactured with various livestock, who carries the one favored child around like a pet monkey into all kind of places he doesn't belong? Or the one who pumped out 5 evil spawn w/ the various wives, all of whom he cheated on compulsively?
To the people who voted for him, this is an image of family men. The orginal poster said that there was so much wrong with that image.....what was so wrong with that image? forget it's Trump and Musk.
What was wrong with that image? How about it's the Oval Office & the president is sitting there like a grumpy toad while an unelected billionaire brags about the work he's doing in defiance of the US Constitution? How about the fact the billionaire's toddler is there for no freaking reason?
So 49% of the country thinks "family" means serially impregnating super models and/or obsessively cheating on your multiple wives (including committing sexual abuse)? What is wrong with right wing Americans? How did they become such amoral degenerates?
I blame religion. I really do. Evangelical Christianity has taught a culture of “us vs them”. It also says that as long as you follow Jesus, everything else can be forgiven. It designs rules of sin outside of anything they decide.
It goes well beyond that, though I agree white evangelical christianity in the US has turned into a festering swamp of resentments & hypocrisy. But I've long noted the appalling way that right wingers cast moral judgement on others despite themselves mirroring Trump's sexual (& other) degeneracies.
That's the most egregious example but which of his kids is he a good father to? He ignores most of them entirely & uses this one child as a prop in a most inappropriate manner.
well he deliberately used the legal system to stop that Grimes woman from seeing her kids because she won't move in to his compound. I feel really concerned for his kids.
Proudly moderate buddy. The problem with the world today is everyone claims to be for free speech and freedom, but both the left and right only accept it under their specific conditions. Zero humanity and empathy, just a bunch of extremists fighting over respective ideologies for likes and follows.
I'm confused about what you're thinking is a "family man." I won't rehash how Trump cheated on all three of his wives, including the most recent one, with the widely publicized court case where he was found guilty. But this guy! https://people.com/parents/everything-to-know-about-elon-musks-family-kids/
I don’t have a problem with two men standing in a room. I have a problem when they gut the constitution to fit their agenda and let Musk decide who is entitled to benefits and who isn’t. I didn’t vote for Trump or Musk. And I guess I missed Musk’s confirmation hearing. But hey, you do you.
I agree with you, but I was referring to the image alone. It’s the image of them that got them many votes. I asked someone else earlier. It was a rhetorical question so not expecting an answer. Do you think Musk takes his son to all his meetings and lets him sit on his shoulders?
LMFAO I love when people like you say wildly stupid bullshit like this so I can highlight how wildly fucking stupid it is before adding you to the mute list.
That is undeniably the dumbest thing i've read today. You know who got their arses handed to them ? YOU. Your allies no longer trust you, your enemies see you as weak and pliable, and you look like a right cunt rimming a guy who wears adult nappies
I don't have a clue what you're talking about. I don't care for allies or enemies. I say what I say and I care little about who likes it or not. You have no idea who I am or what I stand for, so assume all you like. But very dramatic of you. I enjoyed reading it. :)
I am both, thanks for noticing. Oh, you're a misogynist as well. Do you have any appealing qualities, champ? Oh, and stop being a hypocrite, it's a bad look.
It's a hard ask, but I'm not saying there isn't someone out there who would. And I'm not saying I wouldn't perhaps give them a solid "Atta Boy" for it, but still a fucking shitstain move on his part there. Fuck Musk and his weak ass behavior.
At this point what I’m most upset about us not one, not a single elected Democrat cares that a racist South African has successfully performed a coup on the US and all they do is send out texts and emails begging for money for the “mid-terms”. Trump is even bringing more SAs to so to rule us.
I love how for time immemorial women who work have to find childcare. If they didn’t, they couldn’t bring their child into work. If a woman dared to bring her child to work, she would be persecuted. But this man can drag his child into the most inappropriate places and no one says a thing.
Off topic I know, but thank you for this. I hadn't realised, but in my entire life I have never actually seen the word "immemorial" written down so could never have spelled it correctly with any confidence! Only even occurred to me when I saw you use it here. 😊
That's the new Tesla X prop. Simply install it at any illegal activity or area where you are telling bald face lies and hope it makes you look a little less like a lying Nazi piece of shit.

That poor child. Wonder if he understands that daddy is using him as a human shield? This picture just proves that fElon is nothing more than a dope-addled coward that must be stopped. This is blatant child endangerment!
Is she for real? Does she not understand how big money works? His roughly $250m investment in the presidency payed off to the tune of $170 Billion as soon as he won the election. An annual salary of about $150,000 (at a guess) is sofa change to him.
Among the least important transgressions here but…I’m sure the Republicans would be very cool and very chill about some Democrat wearing a hat in the Oval Office
Well, 1, given that Trump interacted with his own kids as little as possible, he is wondering what the hell Musk is doing and why. 2, he is pondering just how far to let Musk go. And, 3, he’s trying to figure out to make Musk leave him alone.
What is positive about it is they finally had enough pressure that they made this minimal effort but it clearly is not enough so the pressure needs to squeeze harder and harder
This is embarrassing. Any other POTUS wouldn’t let some assjole answer media questions from the Oval.
And btw, who is the unelected plutocrat accountable to?
Lack of morals on their side of the political spectrum. They have no problems with kids being gunned down in cold blood, so they figure may as well make use of them as shields.

They also suck pretty generally at delivery. They always seem scripted to death. No verve, no panache.
Their killer instinct is also pretty lacking. They’re slow and pass up obvious opportunities frequently.
These 2 don’t come across as regular at all. Musk wants to take $$$ and trump wants to be king
It was a 1% difference. You talk as if trump won by a huge margin. Guess what though... He didn't.
LMFAO I love when people like you say wildly stupid bullshit like this so I can highlight how wildly fucking stupid it is before adding you to the mute list.
You might want to become a little more socially aware.
Enjoy being a troll ...
So articulate and sophisticated.
lol @ troll. You trolled me darling. It's amazing how aggressive and nasty people are when they're hiding behind anonymity.
Enjoy whatever it is you do ...

we're cooked.
Don't feel too bad about shooting through that one.
If one aimed right, the shield could potentially be saved while taking out the threat.
Big "if" though.
And I was already a massive pessimist. This is beyond a circus.
(RESULTS MAY VERY)
I cannot even listen to this shitbag speak
2) The way Musk holds his hands, he read that makes him look smart. LOL
Here's a screenshot of my Trumper sister these people are so lost.
Unless you're Ronald Reagan.
Wait, did you write the caption for the picture or was on the news site you copy and pasted from?
If you wrote that, well done. If not holy hell that is funny and so bad.

No loving father would ever do something so despicable.
It's like grandpa and grandson present for support while the elected present is questioned.
I just can't understand how people are so stupid as to see how bad of a failure Trump was last time and think "I want that back."
Just pathetic.
Without Bond, just the Villains.
That is what's happening.
And btw, who is the unelected plutocrat accountable to?
Once this kid realizes, he's going to need help.
