      I had to check if this was a bad freeze frame or what and nope she fires that hand out straight as a goddamn arrow and leaves it like that. She wasn’t caught mid-wave, just straight up doing the ol’ nazi salute.

      It’s wild that these people are using the same imagery as the nazis. You’d think that they’d have their own brand as most people aren’t knowingly the bad guys and the ones that are are generally smarter than that but they just can’t fuckin’ help larp as the poster children for worst thing the modern world has dealt with(though more recent times are making it look kinda normal).

    Yeah, the news-media is salivating on all the clicks it’s receiving right now.

    Almost if it’s benefiting them that Trump was elected. Hmm.

    “Trump Accountability War Room”. Because suddenly presidential accountability is VERY important.

    …wait, what?

    Also, using the term “war room” for everything. Peak USA.

        It’s important to me that y’all realize war rooms are a real thing, have been for centuries if not millennia, and weren’t invented for movies or news.

      Just copied Alberta Canada. We have had a war room for years now. A war room can’t climate activists I think it is.

        If that’s what you got out of his comment, maybe you should stick to the meme communities, then at least you can pretend your not understanding is just a bit you’re doing.

        Yeah I think you missed my point there, scooter. I’m questioning the reasoning. As in, "after hundreds of years, you are saying that ONLY NOW do we need an “Office of Accountability”? Boggles my mind. Where was this 200 FUCKING YEARS AGO? Oh, “BUT ITS TRUMP, SOMEONE NEEDS TO KEEP AN EYE ON HIM” Holy fuck. Everyone is just

        So

        Stupid

      Mango Mussolini and his selections are identical to the worms Mao, Adolph, Joseph and Hideki chose. However, the Nazis were not religious in the traditional sense and they threw plenty Catholic and Protestant priests into their concentration camps. The ones who agreed, wore the cross next to the swastika.

      Trump simply gave them permission to remove their masks. America is, and always has been, and always will be, a racist country founded on racist principles.

      That makes sense. There’s a reason that the 3 European counties who actaully choose fascism were the 3 most Christian: Germany Italy and Spain. No true Scotsman argument withstanding, well over 90% of people in nazi Germany were Christian, for example.

      Its not all Christians of course and I don’t have any problem with the vast, vast majority of them but there are parts of the bible that can and have been very deliberately bastardised by people for centuries and others just read literally in a way that can be formed into something really horrible. I might not believe in God but I do agree with Christians when they say the Bible is a powerful book. However, like all powerful things, it can be and is being misused, per the book itself.

        One of the central points of the documentary is that Christian Nationalism isn’t about Christianity. It’s in direct violation of many of the central tenants of Christianity… not that that’s stopped Christians before. But it’s the perfect vessel to encapsulate a white supremacist power play.

    No one should be surprised, this book was written 12 years ago:

    “Irregular Army: How the US Military Recruited Neo-Nazis, Gang Members, and Criminals to Fight the War on Terror”

    Very dangerous and the US military will soon resemble the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, because of their insanity towards religion. God is not the the MAGATs.

      As opposed to? Doing the thing we screamed about MAGAs doing? People expect a lot out of Biden here, which is funny since so many people couldn’t get off their asses and vote to prevent this from happening.

        Use the office to make convicted felons (in relation to fraud or truthfulness) unable to hold higher office which is the law for most state governments but quizzically not the highest office.

        Exactly. America has done this to itself. We absolutely deserve whatever happens at this point.
