It hath been a full decade since one President Barack Hussein Obama debuted a tan -- tan! -- suit at a press conference. It quickly became a national -- nay, international

I have no recollection of this international incident. I had to google it when I was seeing comments about Kamala’s tan suit at the convention the first night. I do vaguely remember something about a seersucker suit… right? Unless I’m making that up. Anyway, the things the snowflake party will get up in arms about is truly ridiculous.

What is the ugliest outfit that anyone has ever worn, ever?

I still don’t understand what the actual scandal was

THE SUIT WAS TAN, THAT WAS A PROBLEM.

It was manufactured outrage.

~it's unprofessional~~~

[angriest_girl]

But howwwww

The workwear guy on Twitter is right that this shade wasn't great on him -- too gray.

[hallyujah]

He's right. This is a cool tan which washes him out, he'd do much better with a warmer tan.

The suit was not flattering at all.

However, the way the right latched onto that and made it a MAJOR problem still baffles me. But they are still doing it today with Harris/Walz. Harris laughed, how dare she. Harris ate Doritos, the nerve of her. Walz has a son that loves him, what a loser. Meanwhile Vance is hyper focused on uteruses, 45’s dementia brain is on full display, RFK has on obsession with dead wildlife in a creepy way, and well Tulsi Gabbard. I’m sorry, give me a happy lady who likes her chips and a guy who has a loving family.

also, vance fucks couches if you forgot about that. been rolling my eyes at the amount of whites talking about how kamala's lack of intelligence is why they wouldn't vote for her...
and when they're on tv it's always the most busted of whites saying that.
