They watched it.

Correction: this is the pre-speech warm up team.

    I can’t make out what’s on the screen. It doesn’t look like the Capital, more like a stage of some kind. Unless I’m looking at the wrong thing.

    Ok, I tried looking this up and it was apparently filmed before the rally, before Trump spoke. During the riots he was in the White House.

    Yep, just this once it really is “fake news”. This is the tent where the clan gathered for Donnie’s war cry. When the shit hit the fan, Donnie was hunkered down in his bunker, glurping Diet Coke and Hamberders.

    Good song, though.

    The screens show a stage and the text “Save America March”. This is the pre-game staff tent.

    It’s true this wasn’t recorded during the Capitol takeover, but what impresses me are Trump’s kids and hangers-on — “vapid” might describe them. And Trump, about to give what will be an history-making public address, sure isn’t reviewing his notes or polishing his prose.

    “Vapid” is a good word. I suppose the idiot leaping about is Kimberley Guilfoyle. Is that right?

    “Vapid” is a good word. Is the idiot leaping about looking delighted with herself Kimberley Guilfoyle?

    Could be Guilfoyle but sometimes I honestly have trouble telling her and Melania apart, which raises questions that are probably best left unanswered.

    Given that he shouts “Kimberley” just before she turns to the camera, yeah.

    Sorry, my bad for not watching more than a few seconds. I find them so rebarbative I have to stop, but that way error lies.

    Thanks for correcting.

    They’re still repulsive fucks.

    WaM, #10: I watched with the sound off, so my fault for missing that, but is the resemblance just my imagination or is little Don dating a little Mel?

    AoS, I had to look up her picture. OMG, yes, she does look a lot like Melania. Suppose Don Jr. has the hots for Daddy’s wife?

    It’s bad enough that his wife, Vanessa, bears more than a passing resemblance to Ivanka, or at least she did a few years ago (google image search ‘vanessa trump wedding’ Side-by-side they could easily have passed for sisters) but to then move on to his step-mum’s double is all of Freud’s theories writ large.

    Kimberly Guilfoyle is older than the First Lady (1969 vs. 1970). She appears larger than the First Lady as well, so “little Mel” might not be correct.
