at some point if you're willing to admit that this salute mimicks another *recent* famous salute you might as well just say which historical salute both are mimicking. but apparently nobody wants to be the first to say "Nazi"
Steve Bannon whipped up the CPAC crowd by talking about the possibility of Trump staying in office for a third term—and concluded his speech by giving a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month.
Steve Bannon Mimics Elon Musk’s VERY Controversial Salute
The president himself has suggested the idea of staying in office many times since moving back into the White House.

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.

I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

"I don't care if you love congestion pricing or hate it," Hochul says. "This is an attack on our sovereign identity, our independence from Washington." Goes on to say New York was "in fight mode" immediately. Easily the strongest language Hochul has used to rebuke Trump since he took office

I can't say I'm surprised by this. As I show in Holding It Together, Tate played a critical role in laying the groundwork for this year's election outcome by persuading swaths of young men and boys that it isn't sexist to hold women down, because that's where women want to be and where they belong.
BREAKING

The Trump administration is pressuring Romania to lift restrictions on the Tate brothers.

Tristan and Andrew Tate have been charged with sexual misconduct, organised crime, and money laundering.

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access.

It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.
