In its larval form, the Hemeroplanes triptolemus is capable of expanding its anterior body segments to give it the appearance of a snake, complete with eye patches. This snake mimicry extends even to the point where it will harmlessly strike at potential predators.[2][3]
It's hard to get people to forget about something when you keep talking about it. And the vague tracings of parallels between 45* and Nixon are getting really distinct.
I'm just glad CNN is pushing back with a little vim and vigor - finally. They have a good ways to go yet before I stop calling them Press Poodles, but I like the direction it's headed. Of course, there has to be the parody:
Oh yeah - BTW - none of that shit is either an apple or a banana. They're images of bananas and apples. There is truth where you find it. Accept nothing at face value.
For everybody who isn't a 45* supporter - or who was and has come to their senses. Or just somebody at random who's working at making it work. Or trying to work something out. Or whatever good they're trying to do. You're welcome in this world and I hope it works for you.
Starting at about 3:10, when we see 45* sitting with his arms crossed, making it worse just by talking. Look at his posture: arms crossed, not showing his hands = Defensive. But also, it's a self comforting gesture. He's lying and he knows it, and he needs a little hug to reassure himself. Second, "...a very nice conversation with - the woman - the wife..." = Distancing. It's entirely possible he can't recall her name even now, but what he's doing is moving away from his lies by moving away from Myeshia Johnson. It also serves to deflect the thing towards a fight with Fredericka Wilson. Something's very wrong with this guy.
Not to put it too terribly indelicately, ladies, but you own half of the wealth and all of the pussy, which puts you in a fairly powerful bargaining position. Sometimes we push back really hard because whether we care to admit it or not, we're listening. And what many of us hear you saying sounds pretty scary. But we're learning. Don't give up on us just yet.
On October 24, 1975, Icelandic women went on strike for the day to “demonstrate the indispensable work of women for Iceland’s economy and society”[1] and to “protest wage discrepancy and unfair employment practices.”[2] Ninety percent of Iceland’s female population, led by women’s organizations, did not go to their paid jobs and did not do any housework or child-rearing for the whole day.[1]
