The Americans might have thought that some lunatics in Poland are on the side of the opposition, because the most important thing for them is to look for a photo, even with the White House in it.
The US State Department and the White House must have thought someone was crazy. What probably happened was that Donald Tusk or his people first asked US Ambassador Marek Brzezinski to find (anywhere) a photo documenting him standing next to Joe Biden on February 21, 2023, and ideally if they shook hands. And on February 27, Tusk was able to show such a photo with great relief, satisfaction and pride. He thanked the White House and Ambassador Brzeziński for this miracle.
Note: a politician who was the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland and the President of the European Council returns du…, the guitar (directly or indirectly, i.e. intentionally) superpower administration to find a photo of him . And this is because the photos documenting the handshake of the US president were immediately published on February 21 by Rafał Trzaskowski and Tomasz Grodzki. The rulers and their sympathizers made at most a “burp” that Trzaskowski had and Tusk did not.
Seriously, it’s a photo of the ruling party “hanging” a ton of cauliflowers. It was the politicians of their own party who embarrassed Tusk and forced him to become a “desperate”, i.e. to make the search for a photo important not so much to the state as to the world. It is easy to imagine how the noise spread through the White House when the request from Warsaw arrived. Sound caused by simultaneous striking on the forehead.
Finding a salutary photo was just the finale of embarrassing infantilism initiated by the superpower president’s announcement of “meetings” with PO politicians. “Encounters” actually mean the whole world. The drama was further emphasized by announcements that “meetings” would begin. Then there was a pathetic bid over who was around Joe Biden longer, 20, 30 or 40 seconds. And the finale was an auction of photographs, which Tusk’s entourage and, apparently, he himself regarded as a blow from Rafał Trzaskowski.
No reasonable person demanded a picture of Tusk, because credible people saw him aligned with Biden, even seeing their handshake and brief dialogue. The demand for a photo was a nudge from Tusk’s rivals in the PO, as the vast majority were in complete disbelief. Well, maybe apart from PO MP Kinga Gajewska, who almost threw herself “like Czarniecki over the sea” and published a photo from 2014.
Donald Tusk, a politician who posed for thousands of photos during his tenure in Warsaw and Brussels, including with important politicians, started to engage in pyramid nonsense, i.e. photo number 5476, to prove something to Trzaskowski and Grodzki. As the young people said: “it doesn’t fit in the pile”. After all, this next photo in the country has no meaning, and outside Poland it does not even matter to the kennel where the dog with a crippled leg lives.
The Americans might have thought that some lunatics in Poland are on the side of the opposition, because the most important thing for them is to look for a photo, even with the White House in it. You can be sure that in the office and administration of the US President they have not yet faced such an idiotic case. And on the other hand, you must have crazy complexes to go crazy looking for a picture. When it comes to the most important or even slightly important things that happened during Joe Biden’s stay in Warsaw, looking for a photo for Tusk seems like a cosmic anomaly.
The case of the photo looks different when you look at the governance philosophy of Civic Platform and Donald Tusk. For them, the most important thing is a photo, which is usually a photo. If anything is in the picture, we have a solution for any, even the most serious dispute. Of course only a picer solution, not a real one, but that’s what it’s all about when the essence of reign is pic, ie fiction and delusion.
When the booze is good, no one bothers to actually rule or get serious about politics. Pic is above all else and this explains the great dedication to find a photo that documents Donald Tusk’s contact with Joe Biden. Which symbolically shows how much power and resources the Platform is willing to put into maintaining the picture and how few real problems mean in this context.
The photo scandal seems like complete gibberish, and of course it is, but more importantly, why did it erupt in the first place. Because it violates the fundamentals of Tusk and the Acolytes’ power system, i.e. piracy. Anything can collapse and burn, as long as the photo is firmly attached.
