Maybe he had a waxwork made so he doesn't have to actually take time to stand with 45 for a photo op.

There's no excuse for anyone allowing her to look like that. I am not being mean but come on...if she had a piece of spinach in her teeth wouldn't someone be kind enough to tell her so?

(985 posts)And then she did a terrible job of drawing them in. Trump is a huge near existential threat. I think some of the focus on the silly stuff (his hands, covfefe, etc.) minimizes the severity of the situation.
SeattleVet
(5,479 posts)and commenting on people's appearances, instead of maintaining a laser-focus on the substance (or lack thereof) of what is being said and done?
No need for it. People look the way they look. Commenting and shaming someone that we don't even know makes us look as bad as them.

(182,904 posts)Hold on. I'm not arguing with you.
I included the "Oh that poor woman.." tweet because that was my initial reaction too - on another thread.
I included the funny ones and if DU'ers want to take it somewhere they will.
No one made any of these people get on that stage. Choices have consequences and getting near him or normalizing him will never be justified, to me.
MrPurple
(985 posts)When there's a twitter storm over some woman's eyebrows or some other silliness, I think it can trivialize the dire threat that we're actually dealing with.
How the fuck is Don, Jr. getting away with giving Congressional testimony in private AND not under oath. If there is no legal consequence, it's guaranteed that he's just going to spew more deceptive bullshit. When he gets caught lying, there won't be video tape to shame him, or any legal consequence. That's where the Twitter storm should be to level pressure on McConnell & the Republican members of the judiciary committee.
Also, if this woman did have no eyebrows because of chemo, Trump and Fox would use liberals making fun of her for PR. I wouldn't put it past them to have purposely drawn the eyebrows ridiculously to create that response.
underpants
(182,904 posts)His dumbass doesn't understand that the message is at least lost (more likely ridiculed)because he chose to put her in the frame. THIS is where lack of staff shows itself. Also they don't use spellcheck.

(195 posts)This whole "don't lower yourself" argument has to be stopped. We need to let the flamethrowers out as Dems. Playing nice defeats us. All options on the table. Please don't try to silence others, thanks.

womanofthehills
(8,774 posts)Her eyebrows are really high - way above where eyebrows would be. She might just have bad taste in eyebrows and presidents.
I kind of like those straight line eyebrows in the photo below. It's the new creativity.

Roy Rolling
(6,938 posts)Making fun of her choice of eyebrows. Eyebrow-shaming.
And I can tell you from working close-up with the Late Larry Hagman who had famous eyebrows and was the butt of endless jokes because of his eyebrow style. But he never told me it was just because he was a man with bushy eyebrows.
colorado_ufo
(5,737 posts)All it takes is a tweezers and an eyebrow pencil from the dollar store. The problem is the way she drew those brows in. All she had to do is look around her and see that no one else's eyebrows look that way. I would almost bet that this very pretty lady was doing it deliberately to get attention.

(5,042 posts)Because the majority of your posts I read seem to be hand-wringing about what "the left" is doing to make "us all look bad".

(11,841 posts)for 8 yrs i saw the right do this shit constantly. every little thing. If Obama blinked twice he was sending a message to Muslims. Just stupid shit. every single day.
Now we've got REAL things we could focus on but I see the same nonsense that has nothing to do with trump and his idiocy.
You like it? Fine, enjoy. You have every right.
eta: yes, if you read OPs like this, most of my posts WILL be similar. On real stories, you'll get different comments. I'm not a rubber stamp.

(82,849 posts)President Trump, the Benificent and Powerful, is trying to warn us of the repercussions if Obamacare remains in place. Do all of you want your eyebrows to look like that? Huh? DO YOU? Because that's what's going to happen, and then you'll be snickering out the other side of your librul mouths then, I can tell you, boy! Then you'll all be real sorry, but the only thing President Trump will do is laugh - Ha ha, ha! - all over your poor librul eyebrows. Because that's all you'll deserve for defying your president! Make America Great Again, Trump - MAGAT!

(8,291 posts)this is not funny. I know, flame away.
There are several conditions that cause you to lose your hair/eyebrows - and one I know of is called Thyroid disease. Usually you lose the outer third of your eyebrows but this lady over compensated. Or maybe like someone said above, she had/has cancer and lost her hair. We just don't know.
Please, I know this can be funny to a lot of people but us thyroid disease sufferers can't help it. We can't control our weight, our moods (sometimes) and whether or not we have hair. sheesh.

(182,904 posts)That's why I included the "Oh this poor woman..." tweet. I posted the same thing on another thread. No it's not fair but it's the age we live in. Should DU hold itself to a higher standard? Yes but it's also important to stay in tune with what's going on even if it's small and petty.
She agreed to appear with him and I will never stop shaming people who in any way associate with him or try to normalize him. Ever.

(60 posts)Those standing behind "The President of Panem", oops! I meant "The United States", are the rejects from the "Hunger Games" movies. Straight out of casting. "President" Trump may have very well have personally selected "Eyebrows" to stand in that exact spot and look pitiful.
My goodness.

I have students come in with these crazy eyebrows. Distracts me from teaching because it is so weird!

If the twitterverse united to take meaningful action we would be a lot further along in the resistance.
