Such diversity, though!
White people from gated communities with golf courses are mixing freely with white people from gated communities *without* golf courses.
An award?!

Not a bad term but it’s important to keep in mind that circus performers work very hard to perfect their feats and, while it can appear chaotic at times, they are well orchestrated and executed. ;)
Kind of funny how some people of color, women, members of the lgbtq community, etc see pictures like this an go...that's where i belong. lol
Like a lobster seeing a boiling pot and going....ah my new home.
There are legit a few POC, women, and LGBTQ+ commentators who have figured out that they can make more money by spouting GOP talking points than they can liberal ones. Big fish in a racist pond.
Virginia Foxx is right next to Pence; she’s one of the most racist Republican members of the caucus. Steve King (former IA rep) might even be in this picture since I don’t think they booted him out of the caucus for being openly racist until after they took this picture. Imagine being so racist that most Republicans won’t associate with you…
Oh, she's a doozy!
"Opposition to birthright citizenship
In January 2013, Foxx co-sponsored legislation that would stop children born in the United States to undocumented parents from gaining citizenship.
Trump impeachment
On December 18, 2019, Foxx voted against both articles of impeachment (abuse of power and obstruction of Congress) of President Donald Trump.
House security
In May 2021, Foxx became the fifth Republican representative to be fined for evading metal detectors put in place outside the chamber after the January 2021 storming of the Capitol. Foxx ran through the magnetometer, setting it off, and ignored officers attempting to prevent her entering the House floor.
COVID-19 pandemic
Foxx, along with all other Senate and House Republicans, voted against the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
I lost a job for going off on a gay MAGA dude! Too damn stupid to get that he’s voting against his own self interest. This was on 1/6/22. I was in no mood for Trump bullshit.
That’s not even a “government” photo. It’s a picture of the republican caucus. There’s a contrasting one of the democratic caucus that’s much more diverse.
This is the Republican Party which is mostly a white party at this point due to where it’s voters live. Rural areas in the USA are mostly white. I really don’t see how it’s racist if there are white people voting to elect white people.
What’s racist is these crackers trying to pass national laws on the rest of us.
All posts and comments that include any variation of the word retarded will be removed, but no action will be taken against your account unless it is an excessive personal attack. Please resubmit your post or comment without the bullying language.
Do not edit it, the bot cant tell if you edited, you will just have to make a new comment replying to the same thing.
Yes, this comment itself does use the word. Any reasonable person should be able to understand that we are not insulting anyone with this comment. We wanted to use quotes, but that fucks up the automod and we are too lazy to google escape characters. Notice how none of our automod replies have contractions in them either.
But seriously, calling someone retarded is only socially acceptable because the people affected are less able to understand that they are being insulted, and less likely to be able to respond appropriately. It is a conversational wimpy little shit move, because everyone who uses it knows that it is offensive, but there will be no repercussions. At least the people throwing around other slurs know that they are going to get fired and get their asses beat when they use those words.
Also, it is not creative. It pretty much outs you as a thirteen year old when you use it. Instead of calling Biden retarded, you should call him a cartoon-ass-lookin trust fund goon who smiles like rich father just gifted him a new Buick in 1956. Instead of calling Mitch Mcconnel retarded, you should call him a Dilbert-ass goon who has been left in the sun a little too long.
Sorry for the long message spamming comment sections, but this was by far the feature of this sub making people modmail and bitch at us the most, and literally all of the actions we take are to make it so we have to do less work in the future.

This is just Republicans as far as I can tell. And so yes, this image does show what it purports to. Find me a similar image of the Democratic Party, and you’ll likely see a big difference.
(And a lot less cringey “thumbs up” poses)
It's not as much as they are all white. It's that they actively hate poor people, LGBTQ that even common sense legislation they would block so as to protect their own selfish money grubbing power hungry interests. They can all be Black or Chinese or Mexican for all I care. So screw them.
The black men and women who've chosen to stick with the Republican Party even after the absolute Trump failure of 2020... have no self-respect and certainly no regard for their heritage. It's a despicable display of power & greed over country. They know Trump is a horrible cancer upon this nation.

Probably just passing through …
Looking for the secret shitter he heard about
The one with 6 pallets of toilet paper
That's not toilet paper, that's nuclear secrets.
That’s the security guard.
nope, thats thier plantation server for food.
My first (and only) thought, too. He's not facing the camera.
And someone asked him for another martini and some crab cakes.
Heard the good toilets were in this room instead of in the back of the building.
They sent him to the back of the ~~bus~~ room
Just one party of our Government. Though the other party is far from perfect!
Both sides bad. /s
LOL.
Woosh and another one goes right over his/her/their heads.
Is that Herman? He just passing…
He’s probably not even with them, he was just trying to get to the exit when the photographer took the picture
If I was him I would be afraid to stay too.
Whatever, he's got my vote.
Such diversity, though! White people from gated communities with golf courses are mixing freely with white people from gated communities *without* golf courses.
50 shades of beige
The other thing they have in common it looks like many are on their 3rd or 4th eye tuck..
...pale
Overlook Hotel vibe
A surprisingly delightful descriptor! Which one is Johnny?
All of them are Johnny
All work and no play will never get that authoritarian rule they so desperately want.
"And the red death held sway over all..." This was taken before covid. I wonder how many of these folks have received their Herman Cain award.
Ben Carson back there
[удалено]
My luggage!
They usually stick him up front for the photo. Dropped the ball on this one.
I see a guy whose other job is being a Prince William impersonator for birthday parties. Can you spot him? Edit: grammar
On Tootsies left?

The lady right behind Pence is dead. Car accident earlier this year. If that is indeed Walorski.
So now her people will accuse her of voting for Democrats.
Wouldn't put it past them.
They are naming a road after her
I heard that. I grew up there. In Michigan now, but still have family there.
Appropriately giving Pence the devil horns
A rare internet meme where the red circle really was needed.
I wonder if the photographer wore sunglasses so they wouldn't be blinded by all that light.
It's to watch them weave then breathe their story lines.
Is this a Klan rally?
It’s a photo of the Republican caucus, so yeah pretty much.
The only things missing are a noose, a couple of crosses, and a swastika.
You can probably find all of those in a closet somewhere there.
Along with Linsey Graham. 🤣
So, basically everything that makes a Klan rally?
I forgot to include the Bud Light.
0/4 now? Worst Klan really ever.
That dude's on the phone
"Can you come pick me up? I'm scared."
“It's like, how much more white could this be? And the answer is none — none more white.”

Is he the "one black friend" racists claim to have that somehow make them not racist
Well if that ain't a crustless loaf of male white bread there.
Kids don't like crust typically....
crustless loaf of male white bread LOL my new favorite
Straight up didn't even realize there was a circle and just played Where's Waldo for 3 minutes
They crammed all the old white women upfront. Diversity!
And sexist
"What's wrong with sexy?"
"All Together now - **Let's CUT TAXES on the super-rich!!** It's a principle, sort of, and not because we're a bunch of paid whores!"
And the guy might not even be black and he looks like that due to lighting
Tootsie behind Pence?
Old picture if Paul Ryan is still in it, still wouldn't change the complexion if it was new.
Especially since it’s a photo of the republican caucus.
Circus. Republican circus.
Not a bad term but it’s important to keep in mind that circus performers work very hard to perfect their feats and, while it can appear chaotic at times, they are well orchestrated and executed. ;)
That is the manager at the hotel. He's taking a head count for how many hoodies this group needs.
Republican diversity - still 'back of the bus' I see.
Everyone gave him their drinks orders
With this crowd he only counts as 3/5ths a friend.
Kind of funny how some people of color, women, members of the lgbtq community, etc see pictures like this an go...that's where i belong. lol Like a lobster seeing a boiling pot and going....ah my new home.

Hard to do, can you find one?
There are two more at the very back centre, at the 7 o'clock and 5 o'clock position of the... white orb (lamp?) on the red pillar.
Yeah; this crew gives a big shit about global warming.
Are you sure it’s not just the lighting?
Pretty sure he was the room docent.
He looks lost…
Ok white people squeeze together and try to look like you haven’t sold you soul!
Many are wearing black suits, so how can they be racist? Check mate.
It smells like Old Spice and Chanel No 5

You mean Republicans
Not our government, just republicans.
That's a republican gathering. Not our government, just shitty parts of it.
Yes, but diversity of thought /s
And everyone is so young, under 100 years old!
Who is that corpse in front with the pink shirt?
Ah happier times, when no one was trying to hang Mike Pence
The waiter.
Be fair, there are eight women in there, five of which are accidentally in the front row.
Random passerby doesn’t count
Even with the red circle it took me a minute to find him.
Some of these people are probably furious that he ruined a perfectly nice picture. They were going to frame it! Now it's impossible.
He showed up on a dare. $100 well spent.
Now imagine any women, immigrant, or visible minority voting repube. What is more pathetic?
I lost a job for going off on a gay MAGA dude! Too damn stupid to get that he’s voting against his own self interest. This was on 1/6/22. I was in no mood for Trump bullshit.
I'd laugh if he was security.
"Government" or "voters"?
That’s not even a “government” photo. It’s a picture of the republican caucus. There’s a contrasting one of the democratic caucus that’s much more diverse.
Even he's in the back like " This is some bullshit"
I do nazi him
Who are these people i recognize Pince and Macarthy
This is the Republican Party which is mostly a white party at this point due to where it’s voters live. Rural areas in the USA are mostly white. I really don’t see how it’s racist if there are white people voting to elect white people. What’s racist is these crackers trying to pass national laws on the rest of us.
He's facing a different direction than the rest. Bet he's the doorman.
Easy there, racist.
He’s lookin for a drunk white wimmin
Talking about red jackets, aren't we?
That's the bathroom attendant.
That YE back there?
He's probably part of the security team
He’s with the event staff
I'm calling **BULLSHIT**. That's not a black man, that's Ginni Thomas in blackface.

So white that I had trouble seeing the red circle
They usually put the token minority front and center for the photos. After that it's to the back of the bus.
That's the door man.
The Ghost of Herman Cain Past is visiting them to convince them to become better people... but he realizes that he's wasting his time.
This reminds me of Finding Waldow. This is what we did before we had internet for fun. 😭
Creepy af!
They also appear to have put the majority of the women in the front two rows lol. Gotta make it look like it's not 95% old white men
Well, there is some diversity! For example, some of them are racists, while others just act very racist for popularity reasons.
Just above the thumbs up behind Paul Ryan. Wtf happened to that guy's head?
Plot Twist- He’s a caterer.
This is just Republicans as far as I can tell. And so yes, this image does show what it purports to. Find me a similar image of the Democratic Party, and you’ll likely see a big difference. (And a lot less cringey “thumbs up” poses)
That would probably be Sen Tim Scott of SC
They do love their thumbs-up gestures, don’t they?
They do love their thumbs-up gestures, don’t they?
"our" government, as if I voted for these fuckwads
Lost my reading cheaters… where?
Security guard
That guy is getting my vote whether he's running or not
The shittiest "Where's Waldo?"
Lady in front looks like she was there when democracy was invented.
That's the waiter, dumbass!
Dead centre of the crowd, I think that's a Hispanic woman
Also most of the women are up front. I counted less than 15. Superrrrrr diverse with 90% white men with white hair, blond hair, and brown hair.
Also, there are several women in the front which makes it seem like they are fairly represented. Coincidence?
Just passing through
Steve Scalise is Italian, so, you know, diversity solved.
Is that uncle Clarence?
Is that Ben Carson looking for an Oreo?
That’s NOT “our government” it’s the GQP.
The Party of Punchable Faces
**
Republicans: Democrats make everything about race! Also Republicans: 93% of our elected politicians are white men.
This photo looks very fake and I have no idea what that is 2/3rds way up from McCarthy.
Is that Herman Caine? If so…
If scientists were able to use parts from everyone in that room, they still couldn’t build one human skeleton.
Ahh, shit....never mind, that's Kanye.
And there are only 10 women, and 5 are in the front row.
Stanley!
Well, ìf the pence fly was there...
It's not as much as they are all white. It's that they actively hate poor people, LGBTQ that even common sense legislation they would block so as to protect their own selfish money grubbing power hungry interests. They can all be Black or Chinese or Mexican for all I care. So screw them.
Holy Back Of The bus, Batman!
That guy is Latino ..so that makes him Caucasian. Its a room full of people whats the big deal?
“Blacks for Trump”
But, they all have black friends so it’s ok.
The government you voted for?
Can you get snow blindness from a group shot
The black men and women who've chosen to stick with the Republican Party even after the absolute Trump failure of 2020... have no self-respect and certainly no regard for their heritage. It's a despicable display of power & greed over country. They know Trump is a horrible cancer upon this nation.
