Correct, this was from a brief phase where Trump was trying on bipartisanship, and Schumer was trying to connect with him as a fellow New Yorker. I remember the talk at the time was Trump might go the way of Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was CA governor, tacking to the center and trying to become bipartisan to improve his approval ratings and mitigate midterm losses and ultimately set him up better for reelection. Obviously, it didn't work out like that, but there was a brief time where bipartisanship was on the table.

Ahah, that's relevant. Though the only difference this time will probably be Schumer having less facetime because the Democrats having vastly less power in Congress/the Senate. Nobody in the room is making any decision that would meaningfully worsen their conditions or those of anyone whose conditions they care about.

I'd like the context of photo please. I am not history-learned. Only spark-notes-of-history-acquainted.

[-] LePoisson@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

I'm not sure of the origin of the photo but it's been around for some years now as a meme showing how media can be manipulative.

[-] JayDee@lemmy.ml 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Ah I understand now. I filtered out the two photos on the side, figuring they were just an aesthetic choice.

Man, Armagastan is such an accurate name for what America is these days.

It even eludes towards Armageddon, it's perfect.

Baldy looks like it might be General John Kelly... Even though most pictures of him have some hair.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago

Picture looks adversarial af. Caption: They're all friends.

Yeah, okay.

[-] chickentendrils@lemmy.ml 6 points 23 hours ago

Trump's embracing Schumer here, I'd rate this 0% adversarial because I'm a sicko who's seen their body language/interactions which were well documented during the first Trump admin.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 6 points 22 hours ago

Schumer has got a scolding finger up in the way of the attempted nonconsensual embrace.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

I'm sure a certain narrative will be curated here.

Being cordial at work: ITS A CONSPIRACY

[-] Sagittarii@lemm.ee 8 points 22 hours ago

This is just your average liberal "democracy" where both the ruling parties work for their corporate backers. What seems like a "conspiracy" here?

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 22 hours ago

You didn't even try with that one. You ok, kiddo?

Website doesn't exist or something.
