So that timing and trajectory is *highly* suspicious, because to me, that absolutely looks like he got the second most widely known Nazi insignia tattooed on him and *extremely* shortly thereafter, left the Marines and served out in the reserves at a time when almost NO ONE was allowed to.

Restore everything. Bring it back. This is American history. It's our iconography. It belongs to us. He doesn't get to tear it down and we just shrug and say "well, let's sweep that aside and do something else maybe". It's not just a building, and we have a duty.

Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history

President Trump’s plan to build a White House ballroom has underscored an overlooked aspect of presidential power: no one could stop him.

“Our hands are tied,” Rebecca Miller, executive director of the D.C. Preservation League, said.

American Politicians cannot be expected to live up to the outrageously high standards of the Insane Clown Posse.

Technical appreciator @whatahellofawaytodad.com · 1d

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

Several of the women I interviewed belong to religious communities that strongly oppose gender-affirming care, and yet were taking testosterone in amounts comparable to those taken by some trans men.

Everyone who carefully constructed obfuscations in politics over the last hundred years must feel like a real dummy. Actually you can call it The Department of Murder. You can post a video of yourself dumping diarrhea on the public. You can go on TV and say "I am stealing from you lol"

It's amazing the degree to which this country is being taken over by nazis. Meanwhile, a solid portion of the left from centrist libs to leftists are defending a fucking totenkopf tattoo.

This is bleak as hell.

I dunno, personally I’ve moved from “what do you mean he said racist things online, defended other marines getting other Nazi tattoos, and got his own Nazi tattoo” to “what do you mean he was a private mercenary for a defense company known for mass slaughtering civilians and committing war crimes”

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

At my local Home Depot today in Evanston, IL. They abducted 5 people in my immediate area.

Trump 2.0 remains a live experiment in "can you do authoritarian consolidation entirely based on control of the information environment while repeatedly kicking your own coalition in the teeth"

the king blames his subjects for complaining about his policies hurting them

The Cattle Ranchers, who I love, don’t understand that the only reason they are doing so well, for the first time in decades, is because I put Tariffs on cattle coming into the United States, including a 50% Tariff on Brazil. If it weren’t for me, they would be doing just as they’ve done for the past 20 years — Terrible! It would be nice if they would understand that, but they also have to get their prices down, because the consumer is a very big factor in my thinking, also!
