Because this is a gorgeously stunning specimen of an older human male. I could just eat him up. Said the velociraptor.

A friend of mine voted for him. She’s very pale which is a rather pretty look for her. Unfortunately, she thinks she needs to look tan and gets these awful orange spray tans. Maybe they both read the same beauty tips?

Aside from going out in public wearing orange face, it was his little smirk that got me. Given everything that’s been happening, never have I wanted to kick someone in the face more.

So apparently the White House took down the original tweet and reposted it with the photo in black-and-white. It’s much better now.

maybe to show people the possible danger of trying to re-light the pilot of an old gas oven without turning off the main dial, first?

Hey, not sure if you know or not but “lizard people” isn’t some random silly phrase. In conspiracy circles it’s often used as a stand-in for “Jewish”. I found this out reading “Them” by Jon Ronson (Same guy who wrote psychopath test and the men who stare at goats).

So obviously it’s the strange tan line surrounding his face, but besides that he actually looks very good in the picture. I mean it’s a good look, his hair swept back looks better than his usual hairstyle.

@LutherBlisset is probably well aware of the David Icke use of the term, but for many of us the actual reference is the 1963 Ray Nelson short story “Eight O’Clock in the Morning” which was later the basis of the movie They Live!. I don’t see any reason to stop using a reference because some Nazi lowlife loser has decided to appropriate it.

(Edited because I originally wrote “David Ige”, who is my state’s governor.)
