I’m really shocked they didn’t cave [within the first week or two]. I was nearly 100% certain they would.

I’ll work on my Nostradamus more.

    Bluesky libs are making me laugh.

    Anybody who votes for that bullshit needs to be primaried.

    Pilloried, too.

    Pillory as a verb - nice. They’re mad! But I would bet money that next year the average Blueskyers (and those two accounts too) will be doing what libs always do. They’ll be talking about the importance of voting(!) even if the candidate isn’t “perfect”. All this primaried and pilloried stuff will be long forgotten.

        I’ll play devil’s advocate and I’ll ridiculously pretend that Nazi tattoo guy never actually learned what his tattoo meant when he was in the fucking Marines and in fucking combat. Even if we accept that nonsense - the first time he had his shirt off in front of Blackwater guys - they were all saying “Awesome tattoo, bro!”

        • I mean, he was still in Abu Ghraib after everybody knew what was going on there, he still joined Blackwater after everybody knew what they did. At that point it doesn’t really matter if he knew it was a historic nazi skull or just mistook it to be a generic death cultist skull. Either way, if he had lived in Germany in the 1930s he would 1000% have volunteered to enlist for the divisions who originally brandished that symbol.

            I’ll laugh pretty hard and then I’ll sigh deeply when even more ghoulish skeletons fall out of his closet next year and the “progressive” dems have screwed themselves because there’s no way for him to win but it’s far too late to replace him. But - of course - it was 54 weeks before the election when the news broke.

          Absolutely lmao

          I’m just taking the Kamala red line approach on this: “A candidate who has committed genocide will never get my vote. If you want my vote find another candidate.”

          “A candidate who had a Nazi tattoo for any period of time - for any reason - will never get my vote. If you want my vote find another candidate.”

      The pendulum is going to keep swinging back and forth between vapid democrat HOPETM and CHANGETM and Trump clones until the climate death of the earth. Enjoy the ride, the spectacle!
