But was JFK surrounded by his oligarch tech bros after a surprisingly large number of people voiced that they do, in fact, support the public shooting of a CEO?

JFK wasn't old and frail like Trump.

Biden was and was cold during his swearing in. Trump big pussy baby and wish he could see this post, or the one where Nixon was sworn in when flags were half staff.

I seem to recall it being cold during Biden's inauguration too. Just ask Bernie.

I honestly believe that the show has been moved inside due to safety concerns, having nothing to do with the cold.

We already have one CEO gunned down. Can you imagine the target having Trump, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and however many other billionaires and government officials makes?

I think it's more realistic that he is not there for "the people" but only a select group and he would rather spend his time with them getting donations for favors.

Yeah he’s sucking dick in the champagne room. Fuck those broke ass dollar bills.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 18 hours ago

That is a good point and I'm sure it's a factor.

Who would be the designated survivor?

It's not about who, but how many until we get to Bernie

Cool bit of trivia

[–] jaybone 26 points 17 hours ago

Yes, he was always old and he travels through time. There’s a picture of him at Julius Caesar’s coronation.

Looks too young

[–] [email protected] 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

No but seriously who is that dude? He has a cool hat.

No shit, ol' Ike had some style in him huh? Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

Pretty sure JFK wore a top hat to his inauguration too but he took it off for the speech.

[–] uberdroog 21 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, but magats are pretty sensitive, a bunch of balls, actually. Their whole persona is being sensitive to anything they didn't experience between the ages of 5 and 14. They don't like new information or opinions nit expressed in the 5 miles radius of their depressed community.

JFK is two things DJT is not: a good president and shot.

[–] ieatpwns 11 points 17 hours ago

Both unfortunate

[–] [email protected] 16 points 18 hours ago

The 80+ crowd's joints start hurting in the cold.

~~My guess is that Trump fears assassination.~~

[–] HorreC 15 points 20 hours ago

Meh. Maybe we'll get a repeat of Harrison's term.

Oh hey, a man.
