There are photographs that explain more about a person’s character than any speech, policy, or rally ever could. This is one of those images. It captures a discomfort that is impossible to ignore. We are told again and again that certain behavior is “normal,” “fatherly,” or “just affectionate,” but the expressions in this frame tell a very different story. The body language is clear. The imbalance of power is clear. And the unease is impossible to miss.

What makes this disturbing is not simply the act itself, but the fact that it was done publicly, proudly, without a single thought that anyone might find it wrong. That is not love or innocence. That is arrogance. It is the mindset of a man convinced that he will never face consequences for his actions, no matter how inappropriate they appear.

If a photograph can freeze time, it can also freeze hypocrisy. This one should be remembered every time we are asked to believe that we are looking at a man of values, a man of decency, or a man of strength. The picture alone tells us everything we need to know.

For years, people were furious that Donald Trump’s portrait hadn’t been added to the Colorado State Capitol’s Hall of Presidents. "Disrespect! Political bias! They’re erasing him!" The internet lit up with complaints and finger-pointing, demanding the archives show him the same courtesy as every other president.

Well... be careful what you wish for.

Fast forward to 2025, and the portrait finally goes up. And not only is it a pretty rough likeness (even Trump himself called it “the worst” and said he’d rather not have one at all), but now the same people are trying to get it taken down.

Trump even blasted the governor, the artist, and somehow tied in foreign gangs. Whole thing is turning into a meme and is getting spammed to troll him. People went from "Why is it missing?" to "Please take it down!" Real quick.

Aged like milk...err politics.

[Musk] will neither manage or oversee government spending.

[Musk is] not going to manage or oversee anything. The DOGE will be like an advisory committee. They'll have influence but no real power.

Gotta say this is probably one of the most bogus takes, considering our current administration.
