(1) Here's my take on the clothing change aspect of these photos tweeted about 45 mins apart today.

Prob wore the jacket over the shirt, then took it off.

We don't know the time each pic was taken.

Maybe the 2nd tweet was sent by a staffer who hadn't checked prev. tweets.

(2) Others are commenting on the disparity between the displayed time in London and Moscow.

My hunch is that someone messed up when daylight saving changed in March. However:

It doesn't matter. To sane people.

And:

(3) There are complete and utter idiots unironically asking if Biden is dead, because of these photos.

May I remind y'all that similar inconsistencies were spotted in the photos of Trump at a table in the presidential suite at Walter Reed, when he had Covid in Oct 2020?

(4) There's a metric shit ton of questions needing answers about that whole episode.

The top WH physician lied to our faces about the seriousness of the infection Trump had.

His predecessor Ronny Jackson was even less ethical.

(5) I assume Biden is alive and well at this time. But just to be clear in case a future POTUS does become incapacitated for any reason on a day like today, what would be best for the country, including those in harm's way? Withholding the info for a few hours? Probably.

(6) See I've had a lifelong interest in what I call "presidentia" and my bucket list includes visiting every US Presidential Library that I possibly can.

When JFK was killed, Cabinet members happened to be in a plane across the Pacific. They immediately returned home.

(7) Because in the early hours after JFK's death, security advisers prudently treated the situation as if it was a decapitation attack.

On 9/11 they did the same thing by getting Air Force One airborne and keeping it up there while decisions were made.

Better safe than sorry.

(8) I remember the early months of the Trump presidency when MAGA folk would jump up and down about their opponents "not even respecting the office of the president."

That seems tame compared to what many MAGA folk have done over the past year or so.

(9) I always choose to respect the office of the president.

That's why I wanted Trump to resign on 1/7 this year. But at least with his real intent out in the open at that point, the chance of him doing something (else) that seriously harmed the country had reduced somewhat.

(10) Biden has already given us the rationale for his Afghanistan decision, many times. I think a televised address earlier this evening would have been a good idea, but it wasn't strictly necessary.

Camp David is virtually the same as the WH in a crisis. It's good he is there.

(11) In fact, Camp David is the ideal weekend getaway for any POTUS during a pandemic. It's handy to DC, well designed & equipped, & they can have better (normal weekend) R&R than in the WH. Cheaper than going to FL.

Bush 41 went there the most. Loved the place.

(12) It's not being talked about enough today that Trump invited the literal Taliban to Camp David, without having secured any prior concessions. Visited North Korea at a similar cost to the US in terms of respect.

He also freed Mullah Baradar:

(13) The clothing issue solved: The photos were taken one day apart.

The time issue: So far this explanation seems as good as any, IMO.

This kind of thing is catnip for the type who buy the Qanon scam. I've called it out for years.

(14) This was what drew my attention to the issue:

(15) And here's an example of the sloppy work done by far right influencers all the time:

>He wasn't "alone" - look at the monitor on the wall.

>Trump released similar pics several times. Sitting at a table alone *can* project confidence.
