It appears so.😳 dewsgirl Dec 2019 #3
I believe so too. I watched it a few times, right there at the 03 second mark Maru Kitteh Dec 2019 #5
In the beginning, yes that is exactly what he is doing. dewsgirl Dec 2019 #6
No he wasn't... zaj Dec 2019 #7
It really did look like it, but that makes sense. dewsgirl Dec 2019 #9
Well we disagree. It's your prerogative to grant him the benefit of the doubt. I do not. Maru Kitteh Dec 2019 #13
He literally had his thumb out zaj Dec 2019 #14

At least not in the first 30 seconds of video #2

He was making the take a hike gesture with his thrumb. And saying "get her out,".

We don't need to be seen misrepresenting the truth. It's our best defense against the cult.

I believe he is simulating jacking off. It's a very common gesture among men of his type when attempting to belittle and demean someone.

The jerking off gesture doesnt do that. We undermine our credibility on major issues when we mischaracterize the small stuff.

Let's focus on the request for violence against a woman protestor, the effort to destroy Democracy, the collapse of the GOP, the normalization of American Nazis like Stephen Miller, etc.

Big Stuff.

I won't be so presumptuous as to tell you what you should do.

(collectively) for not being out in the streets in droves, for not flooding our Senators and Representatives with letters and not acting in every way possible to stop/delay everything this man does...

I can't wrap my head around who these people behind him are... Trump is so very vile and dangerous and will destroy this Country if we can't stop him... I am just so incredibly flummoxed
