Everyone spotted wearing these should be noted and never allowed to hold office again (and preferably rot in a prison for life). This is gross.

[-] Wilco@lemm.ee 31 points 3 days ago

Agreed. This is a traitors mark.
It's fucking biblical not to do this ... literally in the Bible as the mark of the beast.

[-] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Not true.

The mark is on the forehead. Like a red hat.

Revelation 13:16-17 [16]It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, [17]so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

Revelation 9:20: "The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk."

The fundies must be wetting themselves with excitement, rapture any day now!

This is more like the Golden Calf. It’s straight up fat orange cow worship

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 149 points 3 days ago

Believable, but I would like a source.

Looks like it was one cabinet member, and probably not a requirement.

probably

Ass kissers will DEFINITELY wear them proudly.

Because, of course, screenshots are not journalism.

Just claims and rumours with no particular evidence as far as I can see. There's enough to hate about the man without resorting to misinformation :p

If someone had predicted this would happen, they'd have been called idiotic and ridiculous. The man is a cartoon villain

[-] molten@lemmy.world 59 points 3 days ago

Yo, please edit this post to specify that this isn't in any way confirmed. Don't need to be making me pull my hair out over one guy with a pin.

[-] potpotato@lemmy.world 49 points 3 days ago

Snopes: A White House official said via email: "Obviously, we did not order officials to wear this pin. If they choose to wear one, it is to show support for the greatest President in history." Brendan Carr, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair seen in photos wearing the golden Trump lapel pin, had not responded to requests for comment about why he wore the pin at the time of this writing.

Still pretty fucked.

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

So it's more of a "It would be really nice if everyone could wear a pin" kind of thing.

Kind of like "Oh, won't someone rid me of..."

[-] FrChazzz@lemm.ee 15 points 3 days ago

See, Brian over there is wearing 37 pieces of flair. And a terrific smile.

Of course it's not an order. They need to know who is slavish enough to wear it voluntarily.

  • Must wear pin

  • Must recite MAGA pledge on command

  • Must not criticize Glorious Leader™

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 44 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

What an ugly pin design. Luckily, I got a better one:

Round pin with red and blue edges, three white stars on top, three white stars on the bottom, the words “FUCK TRUMP” written in the middle.

I'm a little surprised he had his jowls and pig cheeks so aptly cast and I'm not surprised in the least every Republican will throw their American flags in whatever trash can he points to to suck his weird mushroom dick while wearing his ugly fucking face.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

He is a clinical narcissist. He does not have an objective sense of reality when it comes to himself. He genuinely thinks he is a strong athletic intimidating and beautiful person (jowls and all). He thinks he can out swim a female olympic swimmer, that he is smarter than PhD's and MD's, and that he has more political prowess than anyone in history. When he says he is the greatest president, the greatest golfer, the greatest.... whatever.... in history, he is not exaggerating for emphasis. He is deluded and actually believes it.

Please tell me this is a shitpost

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 14 points 3 days ago

I wish I could.

[-] drolex@sopuli.xyz 35 points 3 days ago

Sad it's coming to this, but the flag pin was at one point or another leading to this kind of stuff. I wish this would have just led to bigger and bigger pins to show that people are more patriotic than their opponent.

Nationalism leads to cult of personality. Cult of personality leads to... ah shit I can't remember. Fashion I think?

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 13 points 3 days ago

Fashion I think?

Even as a kid I hated nationalism

To me I only saw it as a blind following. My parents disagreed of course

Now I'm older and I realize my parents are idiots when it comes to this and low key Trump supporters

If this was a Dem the crazies on the right would be frothing at the mouths screaming about "the mark of the beast" or whatever....well they're frothing at the mouth either way.

I say, that 2cm hole from the gun shot healed up fantastically!!
I mean it's almost as if it never happe...no, what am I saying. It's not as if a tRUMPf would ever blatantly lie.

No, I'm absolutely sure that it definitely wasn't just an ikkle tiny (like his hands) cut that happened when the bullet wisped inches away from his stunningly thin skin rupturing it. No, it positively ripped his ear to pieces and the best, most tremendous, beautiful, tremendous, perfect surgeons put him all back together again like fucking Humpty Bastard Dumpty could only wish for. Yes, that's it!!

Also, he's a diseased cunt.

I couldn't find any sources but I recall Biden forgot to wear an American flag pin and right wing media lost it.

[-] Wytch@lemmy.zip 17 points 3 days ago

Had someone brag about one of these hideous things at work, shortly after election. He was so excited to show it off. Haven't seen him or his ugly gold lump since then.

Just the fact that I saw this, and it surprised me not at all, is a huge red flag. I totally understand that it's been (at least mostly) disproven, and it was likely just one asshat in his cabinet doing it for the sake of making sure their nose was lodged just as far as humanly possible into Trump's ass.

I would, just once, like to see something like this and be able to assume it's from the onion. Instead, every time I see something like this, I have to check, because as ridiculous as it is, it's well within the new standard for POTUS.

I suspect an upsized version would be very popular range and skeet targets.

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

Definitely not concerning to put a persona above the country. If only there was a term for an exaggerated form of admiration and reverence directed towards a political leader, often cultivated through propaganda and media manipulation.

From a few good men: "Unit, core, god, country".

Pretty certain that any leader of the marine core will be required to wear the Trump pin, and the new loyalty mandate becomes: Unit, Trump, core, god, country.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 9 points 3 days ago

Soon people outside the cabinet will be required to wear them. All the gov agencies, public servants, ultimately military, etc.
No pin, no "due process".
