He wasn't quite as confident with doing it as musk.

Thats kinda funny.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (4 children)

He looked very anxious doing it, tbh. Pathetic. Like a child muttering a swear under their breath before nervously scanning the room to see if anyone heard.

He looks like he came out from being blackout drunk and hungover

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah, and then the crowd fuckin cheered.

It's like he was told to do it in order to take attention away from whichever part of the government is being dismantled today, and he just wasn't 100% sure it was the right tactic at the time.

That's it! I was sleepily writing my comment, having not long woken up this morning, with a thought in the back of my mind that i couldn't reach.

Perfect analogy!

Probably not as high on drugs as Musk either.

bannon does look likes always drunk.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

musk is the type you call "stupid confidence" and bannon is unsure if its the wrong thing to do.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

He's not unsure about whether it's the wrong thing to do, at least not in any sort of moral sense. He's just not 100% sure he'll get away with it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Unlike Musk, he did have a taste of prison

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

He fucking nodded in confirmation. “Yup, that’s what it was.”
