same figure with red circle for focus

Aside from the subliminal text, the Artan bleach blond dressed in black and red is a vivid signal also. Surprised the Obligatory Cross Necklace isnt present.

She's got great personality.

Edit: don't shoot the messenger please

Ewww.. I'd have to say Huckabee had more spunk and Spicey had more rizz.

The Huck slammed down on journalists without so much as a smudge of her eyeliner. Peerless. Psaki could maneuver around any line of questioning without floundering. Silver medal.

The rest have all been hot messes not worth ranking for third.

I don't care what side of the isle you sit on it is refreshing to have a press secretary who knows her shit and actually answers questions quickly and decisively.

It's like night and day going from Karine Jean-Pierre to Karoline Leavitt and I am not talking about their race.

Karine never seemed comfortable in the position and always gave off the impression that she didn't fully have a grasp on the topics coming up. She spoke slowly and didn't come across confident in her answers.

Karoline seems snappy and responsive by comparison. Quick on her feet and seemingly knows about all the topics she is asked about. It's refreshing to see.

Someone spewing lies at a rapid clip does not impress me. Nor do I find someone taking their time to think through something disappointing. Unsurprisingly, we heard the same dog whistles about Obama pausing during his remarks.

Oh for the love of God not every single thing is a fuckin dog whistle.

Obamas speech pattern and cadence was intentional. It gave added emphasis where he wanted it. He was an elegant orator that put George Bush, Trump, Biden and honestly most other speakers to shame.

Not many people could be identified by their speech pacing alone. Obama and Christopher Walken are two I can think of off the top of my head.

Fuck the people who talked shit about Obamas pausing. I would kill to have a world leader who spoke so clearly and intentionally again.

After the first 4 years of "I'm just making shit up as I go" Trump and the last 4 years of gibberish Joe I am not looking forward to the next 4 years of "I'm still making shit up as I go, but now with some dementia sprinkled in there" Trump.

Did you forget to change to your second account when making this post?

The people complaining about the way Obama spoke were using dog whistles. That's the point you seem to have missed.

Winston Churchill had a very distinctive style and he used it very effectivly.

I'm honestly just kind of surprised they are even having press conferences after giving up on them the first time around.
