Did they say "thank you" and "please"?

Most importantly, did they wear ties?

They didn't when announcing to the world they had started the war. Unbuttoned shirt, no tie, baseball cap, from mar-a-lago...

Jon Stewart took exception: "This is how we're doing this? 2 am? Mar-a-lago basement? no lighting? You don't even have one of those influencer halo things? You just go down in the basement? and this is what we're wearing? Blazer, no tie, shirt unbuttoned? Looking more like the father of the bride settling up with the caterer? ... and not to nitpick, but baseball hat? ... " and it goes on.

JS was how I first learned about the conditions of the announcement

For being satire, it's such a good source for perspective on the headlines

Did they have the cards?

They had trump cards.

Nice

To be fair, probably yes.

And they likely used hair style that requires absurd amount of maintennance. If there were women in the group, they likely used expenasive and painful body modifications on top of that. Republicans have own style, they are big on looks, after all.

"Expensive and painful body modifications"? Like, what, earrings? What a sacrifice.

I mean MAGA styke plastic surgeries there: botox, lip augmentation, jaw contouring, microneedling, facials, chemical peels and so on.

Body modification like that is a status symbol amoung republican women. Both high level women around Trump and in normal level republican areas with serious plastic surgeries industries.

Thanks for the correction. I wasn't aware of this, but it makes sense now that you mention it.

I DDGed for mar a lago look and first hit was a Wikipedia page. I was not expecting that lengthy of a page.
