    Serious serial killer vibes. This is a man who had a serious chance at being the leader of the free world, and he's posting pictures of himself that look like they would be a shitty Twitter meme captioned "the bedroom of every guy you fucked in 2018"

        100%. And I'm not sure what his chances are at national politics as boomers die off. Younger voters fucking hate that man.

          His chances are zero going forward, mashallah, but it really is a good picture of the absolute depravity of the post-Cold War """consensus""". All of the good timelines have Cuba sending missles to the US in 1962.

    He has no art. Bare white walls. It looks like a movie safehouse.

    Nothing says CIA operator more than a barren room in a rented condo covered with the sheets which should have been on the bed.

    This is a CIA black site. Chasten is in the basement getting his balls electrocuted as Pete spouts pablum.

    Why the fuck does he stage a photo to look like he lives in the music teacher's spare equipment closet? Why are those pillows just bare, why isn't there a blanket, why is a sheet put up on the rail like it's Epstein's cell? Whomst the fuck has a mattress and boxspring on a fourposter bed frame with a headboard? Why is babyfoodbox-blue the stongest colour in this picture? WHO WEARS SANDALS ON THEIR OWN FUCKING CARPET?

      cia operative pete buttegieg, codename vatrat, has never successfully had human instincts ingrained into his erstwhile flesh-husk by his handler, chasten buttegieg.

      now that their mission to inject the blandest mayo candidate into the democratic primary has ended, their funding has been severly cut.

      these two circumstances result in all of the above.

      That's how you know Pete is a fake gay. The bed not having a proper canopy. No respectable gay would be caught dead with a sad-ass bed with a canopy like that.

    What's in the metal briefcase, the nuclear football? $400,000 in nonsequential unmarked bills? The severed hand of an afghan journalist?

    Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically.

    In case you missed those sycophantic tautologies like, "I believe events have primed the 2020s to be a decade that determines our future." Real quote.

        He basically just says, "a while ago, we thought things were going to be good. But they're bad. If they don't get better, they will be bad in the future."
