Trump's Second Term

"Figuratively rip out his heart and toss it to the crowd". Yes, this very common gesture that everyone does all the time and we all should be able to immediately recognize. Well argued. It's a shame it looks exactly like a Nazi salute, though.

As far as why he did it, you're seriously asking why the world's biggest troll who has on multiple occasions expressed support for the extreme right did a Nazi salute at Trump's inauguration? Embarrassing levels of feigned ignorance on display here.
I really struggle to understand their motivations. As you say, Musk, Drumpf, and the present-day GOP are far-right. We all know this. Trying to pretend an obvious Nazi salute wasn't a Nazi salute is like me watching a communist parade and vehemently arguing that the red flags *don't have anything to do with the far-left, obviously the communists are just carrying flags the colour of hearts to display their undying love for the city and the crowds.

I'm glad it's only four days or so until I get my next Audible credit so I can get that book on cults. I think I need an actual understanding of how the minds of the Drumpf sect members operate if I'm going to survive the next four years, otherwise I'll die of sheer confusion.

Donald Trump issues an executive order, calling for an end to "dangerous, demeaning, and immoral" diversity, equity and inclusion schemes

In a follow-up government memo, federal agencies are told to put diversity staff on paid leave "immediately" - specifically by 17:00 local time (22:00 GMT) today
This order also applies to all the disabled employees in the US Public Service. Guess they are just going to have to "get better" or find another job somewhere else. :cautious:

Donald comments on the "so called Bishop"

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater. She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart. She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our Country and killed people. Many were deposited from jails and mental institutions. It is a giant crime wave that is taking place in the USA.

Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one.

She is not very good at her job! She and her church owe the public an apology!
Job done, Your Grace!
 
So, reverting to the time of the articles of confederation then?
Pretty much, but the state constitutions will be more modern and can handle modern things. The federal governmnet would longer be regulating various things that we approve. Health, science, global warming. Instead the feds would be just a funding source for this. The EPA would also be funding clean ups. It would be up to the states to sue the polluters.
 
Didn't see it before it blew up. But when I saw the full clip (including the "Thank you, my heart goes out to you," which immediately follows the supposed Nazi salute) it was obvious that however awkwardly staged it was, the intent was for him to figuratively rip out his heart and toss it to the crowd.
He wasn't talking to the crowd. He was talking to someone whom he greatly admires who hasn't been around since 1945. Or he just used an excuse to troll. Stop being a wannabe Nazi collaborator.
But let me flip it around and ask you why someone other than David Duke would give the Nazi salute.
To see who debases themselves to defend it. Good job.
Is it (as some of the CT minded here have suggested) because he knows he can get away with it because dedicated Republicans like me (who voted for Harris and the Democrats in 2024--you know, those kinds of dedicated Republicans) will cover up for him?

Yup
And so he can send a secret message out to the neo-Nutsos that he's on their side? See this is the part I don't get--what exactly would Musk gain from this?
Not a secret message. He gets his brown shirts. He lets the scum you smoke screen for know tis OK to go mask off. Same with the Orange Weakling telling cops they can abuse suspects. Or when he told the inbreeders at his rallies to punch protestors. Or when your party passes laws to allow people to drive through protests. "Go be your worst in my name."

Don't bother arguing. He's a wannabe-Nazi. The people defending him are collaborators at best. Treat them accordingly.

the biggest difference between Musk and the historical Nazis is that they wore properly tailored Hugo Boss, not H&M clearance rack.
 
Trump: "The country was at its richest from 1870 from 1913 ... that was tariffs from other countries"

The longest period of economic contraction in the U.S. was from 1873 to 1896, known as the Long Depression.
There were shorter recessions within this period, plus financial panics in 1893 and 1896 and recessions in 1899 and 1902.
 
Bookmarking and I'll be showing this to mock every idiot who claims Musk's greeting was anything but an obvious Nazi salute.
You can't do that! The Nazis will claim that the Hitler salute never meant anything other than an obvious, "Thank you, my ❤️ goes out to you."
Anyway, don't worry. Soon, everybody will have gotten used to it:
Hi, Hitler! arm salutes at various angles (Cambridge.org)
The National Socialist German Students' League went so far as to say that ordinary greetings such as grüβ Gott, auf Wiedersehen, guten Tag and so on should be abandoned. And then followed a sinister piece of advice: ‘All who wish to avoid the suspicion of consciously obstructionist behaviour will use the Hitler Trump Salute.’
Five-year-olds were taught how to thrust the arm in the air. Stories abound from the period about how school children were punished for saying guten Morgen instead of Heil Hitler Hail Trump, and people were refused service in shops unless they did the salute.
It will be particularly dangerous not to do the Hail Trump salute for people who look like their ancestors came from south of the Alps.
They will not only be refused service in shops; they may risk deportation.
I notice that X still doesn't have the proper emoji. ✋
 
So you're telling me he's trolling you guys and you fell for it? I won't argue that one, sounds completely on form.

How are we defining “fell for it”? Observing the very obvious thing that he did?

“I’m going ◊◊◊◊ myself to troll the libtards!”

*◊◊◊◊◊ himself*

“You just ◊◊◊◊ yourself.”

“Haha I can’t believe you fell for it!”

It's just like how pointing out someone's racist behavior shows that you're the actual racist for jumping to that interpretation of their "completely innocent" behavior.
Assuming his completely innocent gesture is Nazi-related somehow shows that you're the actual Nazi.
What was it someone here always said? "Boom, headshot"?
