If I were to hold that position for 8+ minutes, I would need two Dilaudids and a forklift to get me back up on my feet.
I do like the scarf everyone is wearing. Looks cool. American Indian, right?

I would guess some African thing.
ETA: Found it.
Pelosi, who like other kneeling lawmakers was draped in a colorful Kente cloth scarf that pays homage to black Americans' African heritage, spoke afterward of the "martyrdom of George Floyd" and the grief over black men and women killed at the hands of police.
They should wear scarves to grieve over black men killed by other black men.

They all kneel before Mr. Trump.
If Mr. Trump wasn't winning over the demographic they wouldn't do this.

I think this is where the "young people these days" sorts of perspectives come from. I am sure every generation has its ridiculous pop culture ideas, but when you get old the ones you were born into begin to diverge enough from the current ones that you can really see the extent to which humans are machines for thinking and feeling as they're told to.

My mom, being Estonian, could look at all the different cultural costumes, look at the fabric, the designs, and the accompanying jewelry, and tell me where the person, at least based on the costume, was from.
My mom would also find it very offensive, if for some reason, a bunch of politicians decided to wear even part of Estonian ethnic costumes.I think the Dem leadership, even if well-intentioned, might have struck out on this. There is much symbolism in what they have around their necks.
This from me, a white guy.

That is so goofy that they are doing that. Africa is a big continent with many different cultures. Black people in the US (and around the world) are not all from the same place.
That is like they are wearing something Asian and claiming that it represents all asian people.

Democrats believe that Africans are their pets. They all look the same to Mr. Biden. And they all vote only for democrats.

The identity of your typical high status progressive would be devastated, I mean literally devastated, if they began to see cracks in their notion that everybody with black skin views them as saviors.

A well earned notion, I'm sure.

Was friends in college with a guy who had a lion skin and a spear in his dorm room. He had used the spear to kill the lion, but I guess that's something young Swahili men do. Or at least they did back then. He came to school in America on a Baptist Mission Board scholarship.
Frank thought most American blacks were nuts. All this opportunity, all this wealth and they constantly complained about being persecuted.
Don't know how Frank paid for medical school, but last I heard, he was working as a family practice guy in Houston...
