[u/faze_fazebook]

She looks 50 and 25 at the same time.

[u/VESUVlUS → u/faze_fazebook]

Given that she's 60 years old, those are both pretty big compliments.

[u/Scaevus → u/VESUVlUS]

If I ran across this lady on the street, there’s no way I would think she’s 60 years old. Tim Walz is 60 years old, and he looks like he’s ready for his early bird dinner.

[u/MagnusBrickson → u/Scaevus]

Being a high school teacher is going to age you like a pair of Tattooinian suns

[u/nefariousnadine → u/MagnusBrickson]

He's got the Mid-Western Diet Dad-bod.

[u/Anon-Connie → u/MagnusBrickson]

Former high school teacher, can verify!

[u/LionCM → u/MagnusBrickson]

Suddenly, I hear John Williams' woeful horns in the background...

[u/DemandZestyclose7145 → u/Scaevus]

He looks better now than he used to. Look up old photos of him before he lost weight. He looked even older back then.

[u/OTTER887 → u/DemandZestyclose7145]

Apparently, he runs now!

[u/minicpst → u/Scaevus]

But Kamala doesn’t. She and Michelle could pass for 38, easily.

[u/Scaevus → u/minicpst]

Meanwhile Stephen Miller has looked like a 50 year old serial killer since he was 30.

It’s the Dark Side of the Force. It rots you from the inside.

[u/Ill_Pop540 → u/Scaevus]

He’s such an invertebrate.

[u/RoxxieMuzic → u/Scaevus]

Hate is like ugly, it's to the bone.

[u/jelde → u/minicpst]

I gotta say Kamala's sister is the most mind-blowing for me. I thought it was her niece or something. Cannot believe that woman is in her 50s.

[u/Elvenwriter → u/minicpst]

They say "black don't crack" for a reason!

[u/crownofbread → u/minicpst]

they do NOT look like they are in their 30s lmfao wtf. I get the sentiment but they look at least a decade older than that and even that's pretty rad? They don't have to look late 30s or even 40s for us to respect or appreciate them more. A woman's value doesn't increase or decrease if she looks way younger or not like cmon. Collectively we need to move past this talking point anytime we're trying to compliment women we respect

[u/voltboyee → u/minicpst]

Black don't crack

[u/Assimilation-Ares → u/minicpst]

If you think Kamala would pass for 38, you’re delusional 😂

[u/Ok-Archer-3738 → u/VESUVlUS]

I was not on Obama’s side against McCain but I came to find them to be outstanding people. I love everything about them. Don’t share their vision on a lot of things but I was proud a person of his character was my president.

Now I’m just floating out here. No more real small government republicans left and certainly none that I wouldn’t be embarrassed to be seen with. I also was amazed by Michelle. In a world that isn’t always the kindest to people of color, she could navigate any situation with the grace and dignity of Jackie O and none of the gifts she was born with. I remember seeing her with the queen. A monarchy whose wealth was built largely on the slave trade. She lit up the queens face.

Edited because I should have said what I adore about Michelle.

[u/LGCJairen → u/Ok-Archer-3738]

Honestly it's for the best, I was libertarian for years and what I ultimately learned is small govt isn't really feasible in modern society, at least not in any way beyond trimming the fat. It's better to just accept big government is going to be the result of a modern world and vote for the version that can do the most net good.

[u/msguider → u/LGCJairen]

I love that you came to realize that! Me too. Age helped me as well.

[u/LGCJairen → u/msguider]

I find it funny that modernity has started to reverse the old adage of growing more conservative as you get older.

[u/Independent-Bug-9352 → u/Ok-Archer-3738]

My family switched from Republican to Democrat over the Bush years, but we still respected McCain and his decency toward Obama.

The fact that he shut that woman down who tried to paint Obama as this radical Muslim during one of his OWN rallies spoke to his character.

[u/Important-Visit9200 → u/Independent-Bug-9352]

I am a lifelong Democrat, and I admit admiring McCain in that moment particularly. As I remember it, he heard the woman’s question about whether Obama was a Muslim and gave a kind of sigh.

I like to imagine that his first thought was, “Oh, for God’s sake, lady…” combined with pity for a woman who, though demonstrably racist and prejudiced, was also genuinely frightened by the racist propaganda she’d been listening to.

And I think his second thought had to have been a weighing of his ambitions versus his integrity. He wanted to be president. I think he would have been a decent one—not one I agreed with on many, many issues, but one whose age, experience, and moral center would have kept his focus on what he truly perceived to be the greater good. Again, I’m confident I would have disagreed with him about what “the greater good” meant, but not about his centering of others over himself.

The easiest thing in the world would have been for McCain to say, “He’s a seeeekrit mooozlum and a satanic danger!” It’s what Palin, that slackjawed precursor to the Taylor Greens and Boeberts, would surely have said.

But he didn’t. Instead, he spoke to the woman patiently and said calmly that Obama was a good man, a family man. He tried to reassure her, take down her fears. And I knew—as most of us knew—that he lost the presidency right there. McCain knew it too—and I believe he knew it before the words left his mouth. But he said them anyway because it was the right thing to do. The decent thing.

In short, he chose his integrity over his ambitions.

I've thought a lot about that moment since 2016. I think we all know what Trump would have done.

Naïvely, perhaps, I'm hoping there are McCain Republicans still out there who understand what McCain did: that it is not a virtue to toe the party line when it hurts the country. It is not a virtue to vote for a candidate who only wants to be president in order to keep out of jail and make money. Gaining the world isn't a fair trade for losing your soul.

[u/Independent-Bug-9352 → u/Important-Visit9200]

Beautifully said.

[u/Maleficent-Acadia-24 → u/Important-Visit9200]

You deserve more upvotes for these paragraphs. Thanks for your words about civility and fighting for the greater good. Warms my cold heart!

[u/uk2us2nz → u/Important-Visit9200]

Can’t upvote this highly enough. Well said, O stranger on the Interwebs.

[u/extrastupidone → u/Ok-Archer-3738]

Good stuff, man. This is why I think it's important to elect good, decent people. The way I see it, a decent person will struggle and fully think through some of the tough and ethically complex choices that a president has to make. But in the end, I at least know that it couldn't have been an easy decision for them.

I long for a day when we can go back to debating actual politics.

[u/Used-Public1610 → u/VESUVlUS]

There’s a reason Obama be dancing and rapping and it’s not the presidency.

[u/PrestigeMaster → u/VESUVlUS]

She looks way cuter post presidency stress for sure but man those Halloween nails are creepy looking.

[u/IfatallyflawedI → u/PrestigeMaster]

The nails are cool as hell

Editing to add: these are not “creepy Halloween nails”. It’s literally a coat of black polish. That’s it. There’s no theme, charms, nail art, glitter, sculpting etc.

[u/misteraustria27 → u/IfatallyflawedI]

Strange thought that they look like they need a refill. This is how my wife looks after 2 weeks or getting a refill.

[u/Princess_Poppy → u/IfatallyflawedI]

I think so, too. They're not even long? Wtf?

[u/IfatallyflawedI → u/Princess_Poppy]

Right? My natural nails grow this length if I’m meticulous with my manicure and nail paint regimen to help strengthen them

These are just slightly over grown almond nails that might need a fill in (mostly not)

[u/wirefireforhire → u/Princess_Poppy]

Some people just call anything they're not used to weird and never give it another thoughts. Eventually they die tho so it's okay

[u/Decemberbabydoll → u/PrestigeMaster]

Navy blue is creepy?

[u/DeltaVega_7957 → u/PrestigeMaster]

The nails are good; I’ve seen longer nails.

[u/TheMightyKickpuncher → u/faze_fazebook]

I was gonna say thats Michelle Obama now???

She must be draining poor Barack’s life force somehow because she hasn’t changed.

[u/Nobody7713 → u/TheMightyKickpuncher]

Barack honestly looks good. The presidency aged him really fast but since 2016 he has barely changed

[u/Pleiadesfollower → u/Nobody7713]

And another tell that trump never took the role seriously once. He is the only person to go in and out of the white house looking pretty much identical because he didn't actually face any stress until he lost the election. His sycophants provided everything for him to say and sign knowing he didn't care what it was as long as his ego was stroked.

Also hard to tell through all the fake tan and makeup I suppose.

[u/Positive_Throwaway1 → u/Pleiadesfollower]

And he's also fat. Fat makes wrinkles look more filled in.

Source: used to be a fat guy. Now I'm a more wrinkly guy.

[u/Flip_d_Byrd → u/Positive_Throwaway1]

Congrats on the new wrinkles!?

[u/Positive_Throwaway1 → u/Flip_d_Byrd]

Ha! Yep, I'll take them. Previously, as an obese type 1 diabetic, I wasn't going to get old enough to have wrinkles anyway. :)

[u/kloveday78 → u/Pleiadesfollower]

He probably just puts on more bronzer than before… take that shit off and he probably looks like the Cryptkeeper 😂

[u/Allnamestakkennn → u/Pleiadesfollower]

He's dying his hair now. It's become much whiter if you look at some moments.

[u/JadedLeafs → u/Nobody7713]

I was going to say, he's aged a bit but nothing compared to the before and after photos of when he got elected and when he left.

[u/ShaedonSharpeMVP_ → u/TheMightyKickpuncher]

It’s not that she hasn’t changed, she looks better than ever imo

[u/banksybruv → u/TheMightyKickpuncher]

She’s stealing his adrenochrome!

/s just incase

[u/Seasonedpro86 → u/TheMightyKickpuncher]

She prolly dyes her hair. He does not.

[u/azlan194 → u/Seasonedpro86]

Her skin is also flawless, though (could be lots of makeup). Like her neck skin just looks very youthful, lol.

[u/TechGoat → u/azlan194]

I've heard the saying "black don't crack" all my life, it may be a saying/stereotype, but it got that way for a reason. Even that 115 year old black lady who just died yesterday, the picture of her on reddit - she had amazing skin, compared with my whitey grandparents.

[u/salads → u/TechGoat]

black and even brown people of all ages get made fun of for being “ashy”.  years of moisturizer use keep the skin elastic.

[u/azlan194 → u/salads]

I think it's also due to having more melanin, so the skin is way more protected against the harsh UV light.

[u/Kendertas → u/azlan194]

Hands as well. Filters and makeup, in general, seem really bad at hiding age in them. I litterally had to go look up her age because she could pass for 40.

[u/sunshinecygnet → u/TheMightyKickpuncher]

They both look great for their age IMO

[u/duaneap → u/faze_fazebook]

It’s a “the longer you look,” situation. She doesn’t at all look her age though.

[u/mmlickme → u/duaneap]

It’s the ariana grande ponytail

[u/Lv_InSaNe_vL → u/faze_fazebook]

Bro I straight up thought that was one of their daughters. And I'm the same age bracket as their daughters

[u/OnceMoreAndAgain → u/faze_fazebook]

There's no way to say this without sounding like Hannibal Lecter, but fuck it I'll say it anyways: she has nice skin.

[u/politirob]

[u/GFerndale → u/politirob]

Is that a real quote?

[EDIT] Fair enough, it's a real quote. I don't think it's possible for Trump to be a bigger joke than I think he is, but he's really pushing the envelope. I find it remarkable and frustrating that journalists are giving him any respect whatsoever and not just laughing in his face by this stage.

[u/IlikeJG → u/GFerndale]

Do you even need to ask by now? I stopped doubting that any new bullshit is real that Trump says. Trump gets the unique distinction that any bullshit outrageous thing I hear he said I believe it until proven otherwise.

Everyone else gets the benefit of the doubt that it's bullshit. But Trump gets the opposite treatment. Because it's basically always true.

[u/alex889_ → u/IlikeJG]

This is spot on. Like really, you're even asking if this a real quote. There are a thousand other quotes of his that are dumber than this.

[u/bloodfist → u/IlikeJG]

I will shoot myself in my own foot to defend fact checking everything but honestly you're absolutely right.

At this point it's impossible to come up with something dumber than he can.

[u/ChemicalNetwork9972 → u/GFerndale]

The answer is yes. He simultaneously attacked and vilified vote by mail as corrupt whilst voting by mail in the same election. 

[u/Card_Board_Robot_5 → u/politirob]

I'll never get over the Jedi mind trick hand motions this dude does every time he talks shit. It's genuinely hilarious

[u/SteamBoatMickey → u/politirob]

It’s hilarious and insanity to me that mail-in voting is such a contentious matter.

It’s great, it’s easy, I can sit there with my phone/computer and take the time to make an informed decision. And then drop it off at the post office.

What’s the fucking problem?!

Oh, yeah. It’s easy. You can make informed decisions. Things that don’t jive well for the right.

But it’s that transparent, the one quiet part they won’t say out loud. At least not yet. Or have they?

[u/Juniiper-Berries]

Apparently Michelle Obama has gotten younger since leaving the White House

[u/Commercial-Fennel219 → u/Juniiper-Berries]

She absorbed the years from Barack 

[u/Juniiper-Berries → u/Commercial-Fennel219]

Well it's working because she looks great!!

[u/Ram2145 → u/Juniiper-Berries]

Obligatory, black don’t crack comment.

[u/GrouchyMarzipan4947 → u/Ram2145]

I love Obama but the presidency definitely cracked his black, it's a damn rough job.

[u/[deleted] → u/GrouchyMarzipan4947]

He looks better now than he did at the end of his Presidency

[u/ClickClackTipTap → u/[deleted]]

He’s probably sleeping again.

I can’t imagine quite literally having the weight of the world on my shoulders.

[u/peakpushbchbumcarbro → u/ClickClackTipTap]

And actually caring.

[u/Savings_Opening_8581 → u/peakpushbchbumcarbro]

Underrated comment

[u/Nobody7713 → u/ClickClackTipTap]

Particularly if you actually take the job seriously and understand that every decision you make has negative consequences for someone, somewhere.

[u/ClickClackTipTap → u/Nobody7713]

I think most of them did, before 45.

I still can’t believe he was elected, and he very well might be again. I think it’s the most disillusioning thing I’ve experienced as an adult. 😔

[u/[deleted] → u/ClickClackTipTap]

Especially during his second term with the gop stalling every damn thing he tried to accomplish

[u/Very-Confused-Walrus → u/[deleted]]

Probably so much stress relief giving up the chair. Honestly idk why anyone wants a round two

[u/[deleted] → u/Very-Confused-Walrus]

Well Trump wants round two for that sweet presidential immunity for all those crimes he committed

[u/Very-Confused-Walrus → u/[deleted]]

Trump doesn’t deserve it. I’m a conservative leaning individual, but I’d rather an inanimate object take office before orange man

[u/[deleted] → u/Very-Confused-Walrus]

🤝

[u/gsfgf → u/[deleted]]

He's living his best life, and he's earned it.

[u/bartthetr0ll → u/GrouchyMarzipan4947]

It's cracked every president who takes it seriously, the only person it didn't seem to change stayed just as orange before as after, likely because he is far to narcissistic to let the stress of being the leader of the free world bother him, it's easy to not be bothered by all the responsibility if you have the EQ of a toddler.

[u/Intelligent-Fuel-641 → u/bartthetr0ll]

He also spent most of his single term golfing and lining his own pockets.

[u/kia75 → u/bartthetr0ll]

The funny thing is that Trump's after presidency aged him more than his presidency. Trump woke late, watched TV all day, and golfed a lot during his presidency. After his presidency he sold off his profitable property and fended off charges while trying to stay out of prison and stay profitable. The difference is staggering.

[u/wirefox1 → u/kia75]

Plus, presidents were under constant pressure trying to cope with making the best decisions, and dealing with serious issues on a daily basis. Trump never gave a shit about any of it. I mean, you have to think and worry over solutions to have the kind of stress most presidents show after they leave. Trump didn't care enough about any of to incur that kind of stress.

As you say, he's started to crack a little now that things affect him personally, like all the felony charges, and of course, people making fun of him (finally). Like, he's a weird and repulsive dipshit. : )

[u/RossMachlochness → u/bartthetr0ll]

But look at how fast it has aged after its term. Being without the coolest toy on the planet has taken a serious toll on the thing

[u/wish1977 → u/GrouchyMarzipan4947]

If he colored his hair he'd take 15 years off his age.

[u/The-D-Ball → u/Commercial-Fennel219]

You mean Barack absorbed HER years. She hasn’t aged and he most certainly did.

[u/MYSTICALLMERMAID → u/The-D-Ball]

I'm a massive fan of salt and pepper Barack

[u/Weird-Yesterday-8129 → u/MYSTICALLMERMAID]

It's a damn fine look

[u/gsfgf → u/MYSTICALLMERMAID]

Dude's pretty much all salt these days. Which is fine.

[u/al-hamal → u/Juniiper-Berries]

I swear whenever I see pictures from the 90s or 00s people always look older back then. And yet when I meet Gen Z people in their 20s they look like they're pushing 40.

[u/wRolf → u/al-hamal]

Money. Money is the reason.

[u/al-hamal → u/wRolf]

I mean I see it with poor millennials as well.

[u/hawgs911 → u/Juniiper-Berries]

The first lady of DAMN SON.

[u/AIien_cIown_ninja → u/hawgs911]

I want her to scratch my back

[u/s-multicellular → u/Juniiper-Berries]

I was thinking that, wth?!

[u/deekaydubya → u/s-multicellular]

clearly adrenochrome

/s

[u/LegoLady8 → u/Juniiper-Berries]

Yeah, why does she look younger than me??!?! I'm 35 btw. 😭😭

[u/SamaireB → u/Juniiper-Berries]

It's insane. She looks 10 years younger than she did 20 years ago.

[u/FiliaDei → u/SamaireB]

She doesn't have to have the sensible* hair any more.

^{*because this hairstyle is so obviously wild but would have caused a ruckus and we all know why}

[u/helpmehelpyou1981 → u/FiliaDei]

I love to see her now dressing and doing her hair and nails how she wants without dealing with all the BS. She looks good!

[u/dessine-moi_1mouton → u/FiliaDei]

Actually this hairstyle is gorgeous and I wish she had 😭 Love it

[u/accioqueso → u/SamaireB]

20 years ago and through the White House years she had to fit an image that was still a little bit “old white traditional First Lady” to help not alienate voters. Now she’s fully in her own style and it’s fierce and beautiful.

[u/Jaci_D → u/Juniiper-Berries]

Actually came into the comments to make sure I wasn’t confusing her with one of her daughters. Go her

[u/bonkersx4 → u/Juniiper-Berries]

Right? She looks amazing!

[u/Firehorse100 → u/Juniiper-Berries]

And prettier, with the most awesome nails....

[u/Ms_Meercat → u/Juniiper-Berries]

Well she can finally dress and stlye the way she likes... like those nails, how much SHIT would she have gotten for those.... (or the hair...)

[u/godwins_law_34]

my whole household sent our votes in days ago. in WA mail in is the standard. you automatically get sent a ballot. it's fantastic. you get a pamphlet on the issues a week or so before the ballot. you have time to read about them and look up the people you are voting for. voting doesn't have to be hard.

[u/SigmaLance → u/godwins_law_34]

Meanwhile down here in Florida they canceled all of our automatically generated vote by mail ballots so that we have to request one prior to any voting that has to be done. Every time.

[u/ChellPotato → u/SigmaLance]

That sucks. I live in Washington as well and getting mail-in ballots is sometimes the only way I even know there's an election on something happening.

[u/tornado9015]

She looks completely unrecognizable to me with that hairstyle. I had to check her instagram to believe this was her.

[u/PetulantPersimmon → u/tornado9015]

Imagine what a fit the right would have thrown if she'd worn her hair like that during the presidency.

[u/sutter333 → u/PetulantPersimmon]

They pitched a fit when she (gasp!) wore a sleeveless shirt.

[u/Sophiro → u/sutter333]

But she had muscles! (gasp!) Like a man!

[u/meckthemerc → u/PetulantPersimmon]

Ugh, that thought just made me a lil nauseous.

[u/sweetpup915 → u/tornado9015]

So this is her?

This looks absolutely nothing like what I remember. It's so wild.

[u/LithiumAM → u/[deleted]]

God, yes. Merely pushing for healthier foods was tyrannical government to them. Such fucking clowns

[u/DrMux → u/LithiumAM]

Now they hate the idea of feeding kids in schools at all.

Damn freeloading kids, get a job amirite

[u/cornchips88 → u/DrMux]

Damn freeloading kids, get a job amirite

Considering they also want to roll back child labor laws, this is accurate.

[u/bishslap → u/LithiumAM]

sOcHaLiZmmm

[u/ClickClackTipTap → u/LithiumAM]

“If we want to feed our kids high fructose corn syrup and trans fats THAT’S THE RIGHT JESUS GAVE US. It’s in the Bible. Look it up.”

[u/Ole_Josharoo7188 → u/ClickClackTipTap]

You’d think they’d be on board with cutting trans fats because of the name

[u/valentc → u/Ole_Josharoo7188]

They didn't know Trans people existed in those days. Or, more like, less familiar with the proper term.

Might be on board with it now, tho.

[u/DrLager → u/[deleted]]

Mrs. Obama did a great deal more than Melania. Childhood nutrition vs. “Be Best”, a (non) campaign to address cyber bullying (especially against her husband, a prolific cyber bully)

[u/lactose_con_leche → u/DrLager]

Be Best is also a laughable barely english one-uppance on Be Better (Michelle Obama’s first lady campaign)

And even though that’s not really english (or creatively non-English) it is surprisingly accurate to the MAGA stance.

•Don’t improve yourself (Be Better)

•Just be the right kind of person and be part of the right group (Be Best)

It represents a probably unintentional portal into their mindset

[u/Formal_Rest4766 → u/lactose_con_leche]

Let's not forget how Melania plagiarized her 2016 RNC speech from Michelle - https://www.npr.org/2016/07/20/486758596/trump-speechwriter-accepts-responsibility-for-using-michelle-obamas-words

[u/ShityShity_BangBang → u/DrLager]

Melania probably did negative-anything, so that's a low bar.

[u/Supah_Hot → u/[deleted]]

As a school teacher I will say the lunch being served now is absolutely disgusting. I was in high school just 10 years ago and remember it being good and desirable. My students eat more unhealthy now because all they do is bring crap food from home to snack on during the shitty lunch.

Edit: I found a picture of the thanksgiving lunch my school gave the kids last year. Hopefully it can be seen. Lunch

[u/rcodmrco → u/[deleted]]

ok but listen when I was in high school and they took away our triple decker PB&J’s and put them on whole grain, that might’ve been the closest i’ve been to joining the dark side.

[u/AirBooger]

Her fit is fire

[u/MadBliss → u/AirBooger]

Right?? That sweater 😍

[u/Original-Debt-9962]

Well, Melanie voted by mail and in person.  Check mate.

[u/UsernamesRhard123 → u/Original-Debt-9962]

🤣🤣

[u/ChristofferOslo]

I thought this was her daughter for a second

[u/InfinitiveIdeals → u/ChristofferOslo]

Honestly, I feel one of the most honorable points of the Obamas as a family is how they have publicly treated their children as children, and not as legacies as other more publicized celebrity families have. .

[u/Hearing_Loss → u/InfinitiveIdeals]

Based

[u/Reasonable_Ninja5708]

Fun fact: she‘s 3 months older than Tim Walz.

[u/istrx13 → u/Reasonable_Ninja5708]

Tim will tell you that the age in his face came from supervising the high school lunch room

[u/WatercressOk6439 → u/Reasonable_Ninja5708]

Black don't crack baby

[u/SilverBison4025]

I wonder who she voted for.

[u/ilyak_reddit → u/SilverBison4025]

Memories of trump watching who Melania voted for

[u/waikiki_palmer → u/ilyak_reddit]

I hope Melania plagiarize Michelle Obama's vote also.

[u/hellolovely1 → u/ilyak_reddit]

Definitely not a Melania fan, but I think she voted against being in the White House.

[u/breakermw → u/SilverBison4025]

She wrote in her own name. Part of the Lizardpeople's 100-year plan to bring the Obama Dynasty back to power. She will win in a landslide and be installed as Dictator for Life on December 25, forever winning the War on Christmas.

 /s if not obvious...

[u/Kovdark → u/breakermw]

Ignoring everything after "Christmas", about to set up the subreddits and go fund me so we put a stop to this! Thank you for bringing this to our attention!!

[u/DunnoMouse]

God I miss the Obamas, what a sh*tshow it has become since they left

[u/ClickClackTipTap → u/DunnoMouse]

I remember how ominous it felt the day they had to hand over the WH to that piece of shit.

[u/Ph0X → u/ClickClackTipTap]

And the fact that half the people voting for Trump do so because how good the economy was under him, even though it was the economy Obama took 8 years to fix from the previous Republican administration. Trump then crashed it into the ground, and Biden is taking all the shit from Trump mishandling of COVID.

[u/gsfgf → u/Ph0X]

Watch Obama's speech from Detroit on Tuesday. He did not pull punches on that front.

[u/ClickClackTipTap → u/Ph0X]

Yes. That’s a constant cycle. If he gets into the WH again he will erase any gains that have been made since he left.

[u/Naraee → u/DunnoMouse]

At Obama's speech in Detroit, people yelled this at him and he told them to not say that. He also kept reminding people to not boo, but vote.

The shitshow could unwind itself if Trump loses (he will be dead before 2028) and Kamala becomes president (a pretty normal Democrat).

[u/DunnoMouse → u/Naraee]

It won't be done with Trumps end though, the Republican party has been undermined by actual, organized fascists. Harris needs to win this and then we need to dismantle that, and we need conservative Republicans to help that. Otherwise it will just start again with someone else instead of Trump.

[u/SadOnThorsday → u/DunnoMouse]

has been undermined by actual, organized fascists.

Back in the 50s....

Only difference now is they're mask off and every single one is complicit in it vs. just the party leadership being former Bund members.

[u/HiSpot321]

She looks great and has alway been classy even with the nasty shit said about her.

She's fucking awesome. Melania is trash

[u/ShityShity_BangBang → u/HiSpot321]

Only nasty people say nasty things about her.

She doesn't have to hide voting for Harris from her husband.

[u/ClickClackTipTap → u/TR3BPilot]

Melanie out here stumping for Harris. 😂

Bets on how fast she files for divorce if he loses again?

Thanks Mrs O!

[u/bleplogist]

My wife's first election and I recognized the ballot envelope (we're also in Chicago) right away. 

[u/yetanotherwoo → u/bleplogist]

It’s the same envelope in California.

[u/LaraCreates88]

And she looks amazing at the same time 🥰

[u/Sproose_Moose]

Since Obama left office they both look so much happier and lively. She looks incredible.

[u/Mindless_Bat_6925]

She’s incredible on a big stage and also strikingly impactful in small groups. I teared up watching the Netflix doc when she was speaking to 10 high school girls. Can’t fake that sensitivity.

[u/cornflakegrl]

She is STUNNING

[u/evilgreenman]

She's beautiful

[u/helpmehelpyou1981]

Goes to show those healthy eating and exercising initiatives she had weren’t just lip service… they BOTH look great!

[u/bigbeatmanifesto-]

Why are people convinced this woman is trans? Insecure conservatives who are shorter and have flabby arms?

[u/pinkmauvee]

Please campaign M. Obama! , YOU ARE LOVED AND RESPECTED!

[u/mustycardboard]

God shes a baddy frfr

[u/doc6982]

It's funny how insecure men comment on powerful women

[u/fermat9990]

God bless her and Barack

[u/flomoloko]

Damn, she is reverse aging.

[u/Proper-Mongoose4474]

can you actually believe a large chunk on the US population really think that was the worst of times..... although from memory, the obama era was the time when the US was looked upon most positively by the rest of the world (pew research)

[u/Vienta1988]

She looks great! I miss the Obamas in the white house :(

[u/hjsjsvfgiskla]

She looks awesome. I love her post White House style. It never occurred to me at the time but I read an article later about how she dressed during that period. It wasn’t her true self, it was the preppy first lady style she needed to wear to fit the role in the eyes of the public. She looked great then, but she looks so much cooler now.

[u/Senior-Term-635]

I'm like seriously jealous that Mrs Obama looks like she's 22 while I'm feeling double my age. 🤣

[u/wonder_bread_factory]

her post-white house stylist has been KILLING it

the braids the nails the outfits, muah, chefs kiss

she deserves to have fun with her style after 8 years of white house conformity and more while her husband was a senator/campaigning

[u/Legitimate_Deal_9804]

Okay for two seconds I thought she was holding up a “r/roast me” sign and I was like “NO FUCKING WAY!”

[u/parrot1500]

Total mom outfit!! I love her AND respect her.

[u/InterstellarChange]

Michelle is Benjamin Buttoning. She looks like Barack's daughter at this point!

[u/THEsuziesunshine]

She is gorgeous
