Lady Freedom Returns

Anyone else noticed anything strange with Velveeta Voldemort when he got in and out of the chopper?

He didn't look right, the way he stood, the way he walked, even the salute didn't look right.

He was standing straight, his suit fit correctly for a change, and the salute was perfect. He doesn't salute that good, not properly like that.

It has been bothering ever since I saw it. Did anyone else have it feel was not kosher?

The hair was right, but, to me, that was the only thing that was right with the guy it was supposed to be.

The visual was off from what we usually see.

We have to look at all social-media-based items with a VERY critical eye. Russia plays both sides of the fence. Homegrown loonies and shit-flingers live to set stuff like this up and watch us fall for it. Let's not help them.

Thus doing it late and he is usually kinda don't really salute right anyway. The I saw him get going to the hospital was smooth, way more precise than normal

Covid can cause severe gastrointestinal problems and you can lose a lot of water. Of course, it's just temporary. A friend of mine was in the hospital overnight for food poisoning and said she lost 10 lbs.

First of all, iirc, RAYGUN started the salute thing, which used to be gigged because salutes are for uniformed military not civilians, although a case might be made that the president is (military) Commander in Chief.

But as for SHITLER's saluting, he belatedly returned it *AFTER* passing the military dude doing the saluting, and I think the return-salute ought to be done within face to face acknowledgement. Not after the member has been left far behind and facing the other way. And he did it every time, not a one off.

It seemed like he lost his grip on the right side and after he gripped the right rail again, he patted it several times.

For one, his right leg worked fine.

He's scared and didn't bother with the whole routine. Also, he's not high on whatever it is he takes for his performances.
