@DRAMAGRRRL@PeteyGarrett@GovPressOffice@ryansatin Sharing NYP tells me all I need to know about the level of info you're working with daily. And bold of you to assume I didn't also think Biden checking his watch was in poor taste, though watch wearers tend to check them reflexively without realizing. The 🧢/merch was a choice.
@patriotess47@MarkGraham_Akl It originated and is heavily used in the LGBTQ community. She was absolutely sending a silent message and it's not what you thought it was.
@princellasmith@sarah_ashleySA It is used prominently in the LGBTQ ballroom community. I thought it actually originated there but could be wrong. Regardless, its prominence in that community makes me think she did it as a secret nod to them in DEFIANCE of POTUS and those around her?
@Helma_Rs@LauraLoomer It's finger clapping or "clock it," it originated in the LGBTQ ballroom community to signify approval or applause. It means "you ate." I'm thinking she did that as a nod to the LGBTQ community that everyone around her wouldn't know.
Mayor Mamdani’s idea to pay residents to shovel public walkways was a huge success!
Look at those sidewalks. You can’t even tell they were getting slammed with snow just a day ago.
@milkmommielina@erenfromtargets@PopCrave I went to a wedding in Lagos, and let me tell you, as a kid from Ohio who grew up going to WASPy weddings at the local Elks lodge, that wedding BLEW MY MIND. Nigerians know how to throw down an epic event and celebrate! One of the best, most joyous weddings I've ever been to.
@EBrock98902@Itsjoeco@AlphaNews You kindly reminded me to proofread so you obviously knew what I meant, and the message wasn't lost. Anyway, I'm returning the favor.
@smith_colt64670@Itsjoeco@AlphaNews I have shot several, actually. Not saying I'm good but also he was incredibly close to her so the chances of him missing seem low from that distance. In one clip, his shooting hand appears to be basically in the window. And how do we know how tight the grouping was?
@Rlawrence2R@Itsjoeco@AlphaNews If he was concerned about filming the altercation, why'd he put himself in a position of jeopardy by walking in front of or behind her car in close proximity. Surely he could have filmed and allowed his colleagues to handle any confrontation? At best they are poorly coordinated.
@stefanidee35@Itsjoeco@AlphaNews You suggested the antagonistic behavior led to this, I'm just going off what you said. Also, I don't think I'm the emotional one here. I'm a critical thinker who's tried to see every angle there is out there. Based on his video he could clearly see she was steering AWAY from him.
@stefanidee35@Itsjoeco@AlphaNews Why did h place himself in front of her like that? Or put the phone down so he could focus on all the factors at play? He had plenty of time and space to move out of the way.
@98833i@Itsjoeco@AlphaNews Did you see her flagging them to go around her (as another vehicle did) or tell him "that's fine dude, I'm not mad at you?". If she was obstructing why was his car parked in front hers facing the same direction. She wasn't blocking him or the truck that went ahead and passed her.
@smith_colt64670@Itsjoeco@AlphaNews Not saying he wasn't a good shooter, but he certainly doesn't appear well trained in any other aspect of de-escalation or not putting himself in a position of jeopardy (i.e. walking in front of her car). And if he's a good shot, could he not have made a non-lethal one?
@PCwarrior69@Itsjoeco@AlphaNews Did you not see her waving them around, and the other truck that got through while she remained in the exact same position? Or that HIS vehicle was parked in front of hers in the exact same position as hers? She wasn't obstructing anything.
