But was JFK surrounded by his oligarch tech bros after a surprisingly large number of people voiced that they do, in fact, support the public shooting of a CEO?

Jesus Fucking Krist that’s cold to be giving a speech.

To be fair, lizard people are cold blooded and don't do well outside in the winter.

Cool bit of trivia

Yes, he was always old and he travels through time. There’s a picture of him at Julius Caesar’s coronation.

No but seriously who is that dude? He has a cool hat.

No shit, ol' Ike had some style in him huh? Thanks!

[–] OmegaMan@lemmings.world 4 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure JFK wore a top hat to his inauguration too but he took it off for the speech.

Looks too young

I honestly believe that the show has been moved inside due to safety concerns, having nothing to do with the cold.

We already have one CEO gunned down. Can you imagine the target having Trump, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and however many other billionaires and government officials makes?

I think it's more realistic that he is not there for "the people" but only a select group and he would rather spend his time with them getting donations for favors.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Yeah he’s sucking dick in the champagne room. Fuck those broke ass dollar bills.

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

That is a good point and I'm sure it's a factor.

JFK is two things DJT is not: a good president and shot.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Both unfortunate

[–] grue@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

JFK wasn't old and frail like Trump.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Biden was and was cold during his swearing in. Trump big pussy baby and wish he could see this post, or the one where Nixon was sworn in when flags were half staff.

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

I seem to recall it being cold during Biden's inauguration too. Just ask Bernie.

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but magats are pretty sensitive, a bunch of balls, actually. Their whole persona is being sensitive to anything they didn't experience between the ages of 5 and 14. They don't like new information or opinions nit expressed in the 5 miles radius of their depressed community.

The 80+ crowd's joints start hurting in the cold.

[–] HorreC@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

you forget that is went we didnt just elect grandpa that could die because just because their body cant even regulate their own heat to keep themselves alive.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Meh. Maybe we'll get a repeat of Harrison's term.

~~My guess is that Trump fears assassination.~~

others have started a thread on that here.

Oh hey, a man.
