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

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 13 points 11 months ago

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

[-] watson387@sopuli.xyz 73 points 11 months ago

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.

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

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?

[-] Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 37 points 11 months ago

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

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 14 points 11 months 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.

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 12 points 11 months ago

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).

[-] thesmokingman@programming.dev 49 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 38 points 11 months ago

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

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.

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 11 points 11 months ago

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

Trump nominating a Literal Nazi to lead our Military is PROOF that DEMOCRATS were Overreacting!

Might be an unpopular comment, but I googled the Jerusalem cross and it appears to be more of a religious symbol than anything.

Saying he has tattoos linked with white nationalists is just sensationalism. And it has gotten the exact response in this thread that it wanted.

Edit:

For the pitchfork wielding lemmings, if you search for “Jerusalem cross” on ADL Hate Symbol Searcg, it returns ZERO results.

Hating on this guy because you misinterpreted a tattoo that he has only makes you and people like you look ridiculous. And when the next guy stands up and says actual hateful things, WE won’t have a voice because YOU wasted it on garbage news stories like this one.

Might be an unpopular comment, but I googled the Swastika and it appears to be more of a religious symbol than anything.

They might mean other tattoos, he seems to have a collection.

It still makes him a religious weirdo, possibly with a bizarre crusade fetish. Not a great look.

Yes and the swastika is the symbol of well-being

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:

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"

[-] Montagge@lemmy.zip 11 points 11 months ago

So just like a lot of the military

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 37 points 11 months ago

Actually the military aggressively weeds out and removes "out right" racist and those with extreme ideologies. Turns out having racist in your military units doesn't lead to a effective fighting force. Yes there are racist people in the military and it has always been a white male dominated institution. Do to the mixing of all walks of life (kind of like college.) I honestly believe if push comes to shove the military would back the people over Trump. That's been the true goal of the whole woke military hearings to Congress.

[-] chilburn06@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago

Same goes for gang related tats. My sister had to explain that she was not in fact part of the Latin Kings for the crown on her shoulder, just a maid in a Mardi Gras crew.

[-] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 11 points 11 months ago

Oh...right.

[-] hopesdead@startrek.website 10 points 11 months ago

Of course they do.

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months 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.
