Too Cool!! and Dead correct. Carpet munching lying islamofascisti females of the NWO. She’ll be at the Jeb Bush presented Freedom medal today.... even money bet on that.
That “finger” had the strength of conviction as well as “well regulated” firearms. Quite different than a pictured peter and a digitus romanum.
I’m sure Huma and Hillary are so proud.
His immature finger gesture was no surprise because only a moron like him would have thought he had a snowball’s chance in hell to become mayor after his bottom dweller escapades.
Rocky was returning the “favor” to hecklers who were shouting him down during a speech; 1975 if I recall correctly. The gesture evidently shocked most of the hostile protestors into silence.
AND
What is he doing with his other hand!?
FACT: With NO political future he will surely resume “Carlos Danger” activity.
Hey Huma! Good luck with this weirdo.
I remember when Rockefeller gave that finger.....
A bunch of protestors were giving Rockefeller the finger, and he responded in kind by giving THEM the finger. Of course, the press back in 1975 had a field day.
When a reporter asked Rockefeller if it was appropriate for the Vice President of the United States to be giving people the finger, Rockefeller replied, “Do you think it’s appropriate for protestors to give the vice president of the United States the finger?”
One of my poly sci college professors....a Jesuit Catholic priest....clipped that photo of Rockefeller out of the newspaper and taped it to the door of his office.
At the time I was back in college inbetween my tour in the Marines and the rest of my career in the AF. The picture I first saw was taken by a different photographer and had a dark background, an even more effective image. After seeing some footage of the protestors I loved the photo even more. One reporter at the time suggested that the VP had disrespected his audience but was told that the audience was given back the same degree of respect they had given the VP. I loved that photo and had a lot more respect for Rockefeller than I previously had.
The lesson then, as now, is that you cannot play nice with the socialist left. The more you try to put yourself “above” their actions the more it emboldens them and the more nasty they are to you. It’s the age-old lesson of the bully. If you smack down the bully and continue to beat the crap out of them, they quickly learn that it is not in their interest to continue the bullying.
Stay classy Tony. :-)
A four inch finger? Rather skinny don’t you think? Of course, the picture is rather blurry.

It’s the new normal. If I was at a Biden event, I would give him the finger.
“If you smack down the bully and continue to beat the crap out of them, they quickly learn that it is not in their interest to continue the bullying.”
Excellent point. It drove me crazy when the libs, after the 9/11 attacks, wailed, “Why do they hate us?” Grrrrr.....
Can you imagine Americans asking that question after the attack on Pearl Harbor? Never would have happened.
Thank-you for your service.
He was just trying to tell them, “We’re Number One!”
