Let’s not jump to conclusions here. It is entirely possible that this self-described military history buff who defended the use of Nazi iconography on Reddit simply did not know that the specific skull he had tattooed on his chest for 15 years was the same one that concentration camp guards used.
If their skull be high, you’re not gonna die

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x
Most of them seem to act pretty unprofessional by my standards
Didn’t have the path to victory. Amazing opportunity for some consultants to rake in the cash though.

in a desire to best the Democratic establishment these people are making 'having a nazi tatoo' a working class signifier it's fucking crazy making
If the photo everyone always trots out about a particular figure was shot on Kodachrome, maybe it’s time to stop giving them so much attention.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
I think GLHM should either run for senate or at least Seahawks linebacker.

That seems unnecessary. Who has he given a platform to besides Brie Brie, Danny Bessner, David Sirota, Tulsi, and John Fetterman?
Stone Mountain. That hideous statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest. Probably not much else
👨‍🍳 💋 to this dad joke pun.
To be fair, Melania probably hasn't set foot in there since 2017.
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.
Self described independents who voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024 are the most feckless group of voters I can imagine. C’mon you cowards, just call yourselves Republicans. At least own your identity.

I don’t really understand how using the brains of simians for internet service is fast or ethical.
