Why were there people in suits and safety helmets at a White House "roundtable" on data centers?

First few seconds of this - no need to listen to The Rapist's BS, just notice the people sitting down either side of the camera view:

I've checked - this was at the White House. It just looks bizarre. I know politicians like to be seen in safety equipment on site, but this is other people. WTF?

1. Because they know the pitchforks are coming?

I know a lot of conservative voters who are not happy about our attack on Iran.

2. Lying his ass off.

3. Cosplaying like they are really building something...

instead of what they're really doing, which is paying others to do the work using OPM.

5. Yep. Theater For "Average Joe"

As if any blue collar worker would go to a meeting and leave the heavy hat on.
Most of the operators & mechanics I knew would take that hard hat off at the first opportunity.
It's not like they're comfortable.
It was just somebody's idea of a good photo-op.

4. That's really weird!

6. "When crazy people have nuclear weapons, bad things happen," that projection is so true.

Some people just can't the power, it all goes to their head, (if they were ever stable in the first place) they believe themselves separate from the rest of humanity, no longer subject to constructive criticism and above the law.

Thanks for the thread muriel_volestrangler
