    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.

    “Trump Accountability War Room”. Because suddenly presidential accountability is VERY important.

    …wait, what?

    Also, using the term “war room” for everything. Peak USA.

      Just copied Alberta Canada. We have had a war room for years now. A war room can’t climate activists I think it is.

    The Iron Cross goes all the way back to the state of Prussia. Long before the Nazi’s. There are probably so many reason to criticize this guy that will cause productive conversation that can be used to have a better informed voting class. Just screaming racist because of tattoo is just silly and makes no one take you seriously.

      I’m sorry what?!

      That level of disingenuous knot tying is utterly baffling.

      You know damn well that after WW2, all of those symbols ostensibly became inextricably linked with the Nazi party. Its the same reason a Swastika no longer automatically conjures images of Hindu and Buddhist peace.

      Pretending that its possible that this idiot is somehow repping his pride of Wilhelm II and the glorious Prussian history is so unbelievably intellectually dishonest that it actually somehow manages to be even worse than being flat out racist.

      At least Racists are honest. This…whatever this idiotic attempt at obsfucation was that you just shat into our lives is just pedantry that even racists would mock you for.

        Just keep calling everyone Nazi. See how much it helps. Backing people into a corner and forcing this label onto them is only going to make them adapt the label and become the very thing you hate.
        76 million people voted for Trump. Calling them names is not going to move the needle. Like what do you expect you call them Nazi and then they beg for forgiveness and then go read a Bernie Sanders book?

      I think it’s more the point of do you believe that this person who has the tattoos has them because of the possible history before the Nazis and what it represented or because the Nazis co-opted the symbol for their purposes and he’s representing their ideals.

      While it may be true that there are other reasons to also criticize, I believe those who think the latter would take it seriously. I have more trouble believing someone in this day and age has the tattoos to represent the historical aspect of the symbol.

        I believe screaming racist has been over used at this point and no listens. Especially since Trump carried so much of the minority vote. Yes this may resonate with the left. But just shut you out. Same when the Republicans scream communist. No one takes that seriously.
        All I have learned from this thread is this guy has an Iron Cross tattoo and some people view that as racist.

    Trump, picking a Fox news host to run the military

    Narrator: “It got worse.”

    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?
