The Trump Presidency, Season 2

Meanwhile, the Lutheran Church: "Oh boy, here we to again."

I've heard a number of people point out the similarities. Though I'm not so sure they look similar other than just both being old white men.

Yeah, in general, I feel like people don't realize just how much people look like other people, outside of any personal styling. Like there are maybe half a dozen "types" for each race or whatever (generically), but we don't really notice because everyone has way different styles. Also, this spans across gender a bit, and I say this because part of this little "pet theory" is how peope say couples start to look like each other over time. I think its more that they just adopt the same overall vibe and style over time, so their "base simarity" starts showing through a lot more.

I'm wondering what Mike Flynn and his Q-Anon followers think the Lutheran Church is doing with this money.

As far as I can tell from a quick (and now very rare) visit to the website formerly known as Twitter, his followers are all riled up about the fact the Lutheran Church also runs several charities to support refugees and asylum seekers, so probably they suspect the deep state is channeling taxpayers' money into those.

... and the refugees, now without funding, become homeless and desparate. Desparate people commit crimes. Self-fulfilling, isn't it?

you have a point... I think detrius is on to something... I was beginning to write something about how their faces are structured differently but all I can come up with is that Hindenburg has a slightly different structure in his nose. If he shaved the stash, had the stupid hair and fake tan and the BIG GOOFY GRIN they'd be easily mistaken for each other.

I wouldn't call them twins either - I meant they look similar in a "you could confuse them with each other if you look at them from a distance"-way, as long as they're wearing hats.

It's certainly a body type thing, as Noodles mentioned.

Its a bit why the military shaves everyone.

It makes everyone look the same, and promotes "unity" in the military unit.

Also the same reason exploitative employers require uniforms or at least a very strict dress code.

Maybe it would have been easier to list things that would not be affected.

That leopard has been eating a LOT of faces.

Oh, they're definitely feasting. And the feeding frenzy has just started.

We'll need to put the leopards on a strict diet after this is over.

Those engineers should follow that Vietman War era saying: Don't trust anyone over 30. (Musk is 53.)
