    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.

    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.

      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).

      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.

      It’s gonna be more like Nazi battle Royale. We got some major tribalism brewing here.

      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”

    Trump, picking a Fox news host to run the military

    Narrator: “It got worse.”

      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.

      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.

      my theory is that this is all one big power move from trump, to show people what he can get away with. i don’t think he cares that much about the individual people he’s nominating, he more so cares about showing people that he can pick literally anyone he wants and no one will stop him.

    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 M-16 did jam however it was due to shitty mags, cheaping out on the barrel, not issuing the grunts proper cleaning kits, and not giving them a manual of arms for handling the new weapon in a jungle environment.

          Also Mr. president of the universe you’re wanted in the galactic council rooms.

        Mine is cheap as hell and will cycle anything, including steel case ammo of dubious origin and quality. If you have one that is jamming, there might be a defect that requires your attention.

    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?
