I'll put you all out of your misery - it is the 'coded' sign of 'White Supremacy'. You know, the neo-Nazis, KKK and all them lot.

It would seem that over 50% of voters now believe that Trump was the target of a witch hunt.

Apparently we are about to get a whole torrent of proof that there was a very co-ordinated strategy to get Trump out of office after he won the elections.

Well, isn't that a surprise? Look at Big Chief Sh1tting Bull's right hand. Anyone recognise the gesture?

How many dead in NZ?
Bo-Take a look on the Fox News web page today and you will see a picture of Little Liar Pocohontas Warren surprisingly making the same gesture with with her right hand.

I cannot see it, Seen, but I'm sure it will be either a photo-shop job or a cgi fiddle by the alt-right. They do, however, say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

We are certainly collecting 'liars' at the mo, no? Little Liar Pocohontas and Big Liar Trump. Room for more. =))

Further, in American culture it is a sign that means 'okay', and I've never associated it with, or heard of it being associated with white supremacy here. For example, a proud father might flash it at his son who just won an award or athletic achievement. Or it could be used when you just took a tumble and wanted to signal to others that you are all right and not hurt.

Trying to portray it as you did, Boac, betrays your Trump Derangement Syndrome.

- Ah! A sheltered life. Sweet innocence.

From Wiki
"Has the simple thumb-and-forefinger 'OK' hand gesture become a common white supremacist hand sign? Not quite, but it has become a popular gesture used by people across several segments of the right and far right—including some actual white supremacists—who generally use it to trigger reactions. [...] Only if the gesture occurs in context with other clear indicators of white supremacy can one draw that conclusion.[38]

By 2018, a number of people were accused of signaling support for white supremacist ideology in publicly displaying the gesture.[37][40][41][42] For example, the U.S. Coast Guard disciplined an employee who conspicuously made this gesture in the background of a newscast in September 2018.[43][44] In March 2019 Idaho Lt. Governor Janice McGeachin received considerable criticism for posing with members of the 3 Percenter right-wing militia group outside of her office who made the gesture. [45][46][47] Also in March 2019, white nationalist Brenton Tarrant flashed the sign to cameras in a New Zealand courtroom during his arraignment for the mass-shooting of 100 people at two mosques in Christchurch.[48]

That could very well be true. As I have never met a white supremacist I wouldn't know about that. What I wrote about that very natural gesture is also true, and that it how it is most widely used in the American culture, and I'm confident that usage was what President Trump had in mind.

When Big Chief Sh!tting Bull has notched up over 7700 lies since taking office, Seen, all those are pretty small fry, I'm afraid. They need to keep working at it to match the Chump.

Tell me something - if a man came to fix your boiler and lied about his successes in fixing boilers, would you invite him back to do it again? Yes? That explains everything.

Bo-The problem that the names I mentioned have is that they (excluding Lynch ) told their fibs under oath in Congressional and Senate hearings which, as we have seen with Cohen, has some nasty consequences.

Lynch has yet to be hauled in to give her version of events.

Lynch will likely lie also because if she told the truth she would have to admit that the DOJ were working with the Clinton campaign,with the help of John McCain, to prevent Trump from winning the election.

You're unlikely to see the Democrat loving media report that the Bidens learned well from the Clintons how to profit from high political office.

Hunter Biden made a visit with his father Joe on Airforce Two to China around about 2013.Hunter has his own Private Equity investment operation which surprise surprise did a $1 Billion deal with a Chinese Corporation that is 100% owned by the Chinese Government a month or two after returning home from the visit.
