Not sure. I count three different pairs doing a similar hand holding clothes/backpack in thing. I noticed one pair the first time, but this time I see the pair you refer to, plus a third pair. My first thought was thet they’re trying not to get separated, but who knows.

Re: 2020 POTUS ELECTION THREAD
So Trump's lawyer exhorted Pence to "send the election to Congress" and blamed him for the riot.
IOTW the purpose of the riot was to pressure Pence into not certifying the EC tally. I.e. it was a coup attempt.

Re: 2020 POTUS ELECTION THREAD
Yup. Everything that’s come out in the past few weeks has been no good very bad. However, it doesn’t affect the average person’s daily life, and so I suspect that we’re soon going to choose stopping inflation over democracy. Should be wild.

Greene Confuses Hitler’s Secret Police with Spanish Soup
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was mocked after ranting about the “gazpacho police” patrolling the U.S. Capitol on a podcast, The Guardian reports.
Said Greene: “Not only do we have the DC jail which is the DC gulag, but now we have Nancy Pelosi’s gazpacho police spying on members of Congress, spying on the legislative work that we do, spying on our staff and spying on American citizens.”
Greene apparently confused cold Spanish soup with the Gestapo, the Nazi-era secret police in Germany.

50/50 that it was intentional, and a play to get "teh librul media" to mock her and make her a victim (for being the moron she is), or it was unintentional and her supporters eat it up anyways for not using the correct word or knowing anything about basic world history.Wilhelm wrote: ↑Wed Feb 09, 2022 4:40 pm Greene Confuses Hitler’s Secret Police with Spanish Soup

Re: 2020 POTUS ELECTION THREAD
I find it increasingly difficult to believe that anyone in congress is playing 4d chess. Maybe this wouldn't count as 4d chess. But I'm 99% sure it was a legitimate accident on her part.

Re: 2020 POTUS ELECTION THREAD
But certainly there has to be at least one intelligent person around them, right?
I mean, she might have had soup for lunch and saw the word, but in the winter? And I had to help prep and then take orders of it for a few years (during the summer) and that word would never have come to mind talking about secret police. It's a very unusual brain fart, is what I'm getting at, and the people that I know who I would assume are supporters of hers would absolutely eat up any chance for her to play the victim card.
Plus, didn't she give a Capitol tour to some people like two days before they were arrested in the riot? That was her, right? And now there is news of un-logged WH calls that day and all the improperly removed and destroyed documents? Seems suspicious.

This ^.
I read an article where a Senator stated (paraphrase): Everyone thinks this is House of Cards. It is 100% Veep.

And here I thought it was suspicious that the news is covering a bushism when Biden is claiming that he can't help Americans leave Ukraine without starting WW3.

Re: 2020 POTUS ELECTION THREAD
Was she speaking off the cuff, or from notes? Off the cuff, she could have mispronounced Gestapo enough that is sounds more like the soup than the police even if she has never known what the soup is. If from notes, some aide typed this up, presumably her aides are drawn form the younger members of her loyal constituency. I am not impressed that the loyal members of her constituency is a particularly bright group, and most younger Americans I encounter spell like illiterate ESL speakers and then select the first word offered by spellcheck.Allentown wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 2:26 am But certainly there has to be at least one intelligent person around them, right?

I think Green just says shit like this all the time.
If we're going to go down the 1/6 rabbit hole I think there's a lot of shit to tall about. Not the least of which is the explosive that was discovered early on and then never mentioned again. But I ultimately and strongly doubt Green was any kind of architect or mastermind or even aware prior.

It was Boebert who apparently gave the tour. She’s smarter than Green, by a hair.

Re: 2020 POTUS ELECTION THREAD
For some reason, in my head, they're the same person. I understand that in reality they're different people representing different districts, but for some reason I just can't tell them apart and mentally I just identify them both as the MAGA female congressperson.
