      I know Obama was unjustly ostracized for wearing a tan suit, but I honestly (I’m European) don’t know why a tan suit is a bad thing? Is it frowned upon for some reason? Do tan suits have a backstory (before the Obama thing) that I should know about?

      Honest question.

        It was absurd nonsense; yet one of many examples of how the far-right in our country will manufacture outrage just to justify their existence.

        There was another incident wherein the far-right went after Obama used Dijon mustard on something.

        The far right was reaching for anything at all they could personally attack Obama with. The only things they ever came up with was the tan suit and him asking for Dijon mustard. Compare that to any recent Republican candidate.

          Don’t forget not saluting a military officer. Even though, as a non-military civilian, he shouldn’t be using military salutes anyway.

              Really cool since Dementia DonOLD quickly racked up more than Obama (did more in two years than Obama in eitght) and had to change the rules about reporting them so he didn’t look so bad. They’re clowns.

                Hmmmm it’s like the decision to make drone strikes the prerogative of the office of the president potentially minimised them or something. What’s Biden’s number up to?

            What made you think this was relevant to the conversation? We’re talking about things Republicans fabricated to attack Obama. Him using more drones than any other president to kill brown people was a good thing for them.

                What piece, the comment? Nothing they said was incorrect. Republicans couldn’t/wouldn’t attack him on it because their record is even worse and they don’t really view bombing brown people as inherently bad.

                  They attacked him with that nonsense because they couldn’t find anything else to attack him on.

              You realize the President is in control of the military, and decisions involving it?

              He could have stopped it.

              He could have said ‘hey, stop killing children who have never harmed us’.

              No one was saying those things.

                  Are you so blind that you only see the world thru a filter provided by a political party?

                  The USA has been doing horribly illegal things for a long time.

                  Pretending murder is cool because the other guys did it too is horrible logic at best.

                  People conducting their lives and basing their morality on what the other person did is a downward spiral trap for society.

                  As for what i did, smoke some DMT and ask the elves. My soul is clean. Everyone ignored my warnings, i was kidnapped and tortured for months to retaliate.

          This was complete bullshit. The hero of the Conservatives, Ronald “Let’s trade Missles for Hostages with the Iranians and use the proceeds to Defy Congress in Nicaragua” Reagan wore tan suits.

        A tan suit is frowned upon by regressives if the occupant is black. Same as using mustard. And greeting anyone too casually.

        Tan suits are very slightly less formal than navy, grey, or black. That’s literally it. Completely a case of idiots looking for a reason to be mad and justify their preexisting biases.

    I can never understand the kind of slime that finds it in them to not just begrudge someone for how they express their own joy and laughter, but to feel confident in voicing that begrudgement like it’s indicative of anything but their own complete defectiveness as a morally sound human being.

      It’s simple psychology really. When someone is so angry or sad or hates themselves so much, seeing other people being happy and/or succeeding reminds them of their own pitiful existence.

      I’m no psychologist, but I believe they call it envy.

        I don’t know. When I see throngs of joyful MAGA cultists, and that smug grin of their dear leader, I feel a certain level of disgust myself. It’s certainly not envy.

        They’re happy because they adore him and what he symbolizes (white supremacy, misogyny, Christian nationalism, homophobia, etc.) - he’s happy because they adore him, and he’s a raging narcissist.

        Those things disgust me, and so their happiness disgusts me.

        So conversely, their hatred of Kamala & the DNC’s joy could be because they hate what the left symbolizes, in their view.

        Not just envy imo. There are plenty of people in my own circle that I’m envious of, but am nothing but thrilled for them over their well deserved success.

        We’re seeing the bastard child of envy and hatred… they want what she has, but more than that, they want her to suffer.

    Americans will legit find any reason to complain. She by far isn’t the first* and she sure as hell won’t be the last. Also wanted to point out how fucking sad it is, that the one time Americans pretend to care about the world’s perception of the US, it’s a politician’s ever so slightly less boring wardrobe. We don’t care, the color even looks good on her. What we care about is the senile old man ranting about random companies for an hour, instead of holding a god damn speech.

    I DDG’d “Harris memes” hoping to find a harissa (yes, the hot chili paste) themed one. Instead I mostly found memes that looked like Republicans attempting to be funny and failing miserably. The memes had no punch line, made no sense, and were mostly based on pure disgust and hate for her as a person with no real criticism of her political actions.

    I don’t like Harris and would probably just leave the US if I was born there and take my vote elsewhere to a system that maybe remotely makes sense. But those memes were sad. If anything they tell of a human condition that has affected some diehard Republicans online. I think some of them need help.

      It takes a certain level of intelligence and insight to be funny. Unfortunately for the far right, anyone above that threshold of intelligence & insight is too smart to be far right.
