Trump, picking a Fox news host to run the military

"How could this be any worse?"

That motherfucker: takes off shirt

Narrator: "It got worse."

Wait until he opens his mouth and starts talking

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Wait until he uses the military to do something even more nefarious than what they usually do around the world

I'm a gun nut. I have an AR-15 and love it. Finest multi-purpose rifle on Earth.

Forget the rest of the tats. Having a tattoo of an AR-15 is so goddamned toxic I want to puke. FWIW, I'd punch him for the Iron Cross tats before I noticed the others.

The entire cabinet is something from a comic book. These guys are all cartoonishly evil.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

It literally seems like he's just picking a mix of Republicans who are most notorious on social media and people who would make Putin the most happy, so you're not wrong but I don't think it's the actual criterion he's using.

Of course he does. These are all complete garbage human beings. Can't wait to hear the moronic defense of this is somehow not racist.

“It’s all just a joke.”

Who doesn't tattoo jokes onto their body?

When does Russia invade to de-nazify the US?

(They already have, comrade. And your citizens voted it in)

Here's another question:

If Russia launched a nuke at the US, would puppet trump use the launch codes?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably not because he would probably tell Putin to target a major Democratic city center

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Dearborn, MI would probably be high on the list.

High Muslim population. Heavy Democratic leaning (except this year. Lol)

One obvious one NYC, but he wouldn't want to hurt his property value.

So, pretty much the entire pacific coast.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The launch codes are 00000 anyway, so...

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).

If this person gets clearance and is not open about the hate group ties, that can be grounds for prosecution. The big question will be whether or not anyone cares.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The big question will be whether or not anyone cares who has the ability to do anything about it.

[–] RvTV95XBeo 25 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I'm sure AG Gaetz will get right on that

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Couldn't possibly be gaslighting the country about a mentally incapacitated incumbent until 2 months from the election

Reminds me of Putin and his buddy Dmitry Utkin, initial founder of the Wagner mercenary group with multiple tattoos that show the symbol of the Waffen-SS, as well as other Nazi symbols.

I found the documentary "Bad Faith" to be quite enlightening. Highly recommend it:

Edit: For understanding more of the context of white christian nationalism, white supremacy, etc

Miller and this guy. Two confirmed Nazis... this is going to end up great. /s

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

he also doesn't believe in germ theory

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Oh...right.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

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.

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"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Of course they do.
