That’s V for Victory though, as distinct from the peace sign from the 1960s (this is from Woodstock)

That gesture is actually “scissors”, which Churchill was fond of because his opponents kept playing “paper”.
Look how enthusiastic Hitler is being there!

Thanks for posting this. So much of the text of these EOs is fairly inscrutable (by design I assume), and this careful dissection helps a lot.

Not least because the story was about English archers taunting the French after Crecy and/or Agincourt, about 400 years before Napoleon was born.
I suspect that Churchill knew perfectly well about the difference between palm-in and palm-out. It’s just that sometimes the gesture was meant for the English, and sometimes it was directed at the Germans.

Why pick a fight with a net importer of goods? Who does tha… (

We’ll be under the threat of tariffs “in two weeks” the same way that T—p promised health care reform proposals “in two weeks” for most of his previous term.
As for USCAM … rip it up, buddy, you did last time and the renegotiated treaty was better for us than the last one, IMHO. We’ll put that Freeland character on the case again, you like her. And this time around, we all know your game, you’re not a “details” guy and quickly lose interest when we get boring… which we’re really f–king good at.
Of course, since your last term, we’ve the revised CPTPP trans-pacific free trade agreement is in force, the CETA agreement with the 
has hit its 6th successful year, and we have tripled our pipeline capacity to the Pacific Ocean.

Trump says NAFTA sucks and that the US is being ripped off.
Proudly replaces it with USMCA (never mind it’s mostly just NAFTA under a new name), says how great it is.

We know that Trump used his autocratic aura to get obey-in-advance CEOs from virtually all of Big Tech, the Detroit auto world, and elsewhere to fork over an unprecedented $250 million. And we can guess that it maybe cost $1 million, roughly, to rent and open the Capital One Arena for two days of events. That only leaves $249 million or so unaccounted for. We’ll get a few answers, but not all the ones we want, in a few months when the inaugural committee files a mandated report.
Report??? Haa, ha ha hhhhaaa…sorry couldn’t hold it in…
Narrator: there will be no report.

I guess she thinks they just open the doors and they just walk out without any processing.
She’s big on stirring the pot but she never does anything to help the people she thinks need help.
If she’s so concerned she could just go there and get to the bottom of it, she knows it’s just processing but that doesn’t help her to get people angry.
The responses under her tweet think the democrats are in control of the jail.
I’m already over all of this. He comes to town, creates chaos and then everyone blames the people trying to figure out the chaos.

Yeah, I know, but it’s ironic, telling, etc, that it’s gone from the WH’s website.
