Very dangerous and the US military will soon resemble the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, because of their insanity towards religion. God is not the the MAGATs.

Maybe he's just representing the Ukrainian azov unit.

Trump, picking a Fox news host to run the military

"How could this be any worse?"

That motherfucker: takes off shirt

Narrator: "It got worse."

I'm a gun nut. I have an AR-15 and love it. Finest multi-purpose rifle on Earth.

Forget the rest of the tats. Having a tattoo of an AR-15 is so goddamned toxic I want to puke. FWIW, I'd punch him for the Iron Cross tats before I noticed the others.

The entire cabinet is something from a comic book. These guys are all cartoonishly evil.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

And Trump is bypassing all background checks by the FBI.

Of course he does. These are all complete garbage human beings. Can't wait to hear the moronic defense of this is somehow not racist.

Who doesn't tattoo jokes onto their body?

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?

[–] Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Probably not because he would probably tell Putin to target a major Democratic city center

I had to check if this was a bad freeze frame or what and nope she fires that hand out straight as a goddamn arrow and leaves it like that. She wasn’t caught mid-wave, just straight up doing the ol’ nazi salute.

It’s wild that these people are using the same imagery as the nazis. You’d think that they’d have their own brand as most people aren’t knowingly the bad guys and the ones that are are generally smarter than that but they just can’t fuckin’ help larp as the poster children for worst thing the modern world has dealt with(though more recent times are making it look kinda normal).

If this person gets clearance and is not open about the hate group ties, that can be grounds for prosecution. The big question will be whether or not anyone cares.

[–] Backlog3231@reddthat.com 41 points 1 week ago

Well the attorney general is going to be a pedophile so I doubt we'll see any prosecution on this.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The big question will be whether or not anyone cares who has the ability to do anything about it.

[–] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I'm sure AG Gaetz will get right on that

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 nominating a Literal Nazi to lead our Military is PROOF that DEMOCRATS were Overreacting!

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

.....wait, what?

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

Allies kill Nazis, Allies have babies, babies become assholes, assholes have baby Nazis.

Probably why trump picked him

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So, Nazi Germany has returned.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Mango Mussolini and his selections are identical to the worms Mao, Adolph, Joseph and Hideki chose. However, the Nazis were not religious in the traditional sense and they threw plenty Catholic and Protestant priests into their concentration camps. The ones who agreed, wore the cross next to the swastika.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

It's gonna be more like Nazi battle Royale. We got some major tribalism brewing here.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 17 points 1 week ago

he also doesn't believe in germ theory

Reminds me of Putin and his buddy Dmitry Utkin, initial founder of the Wagner mercenary group with multiple tattoos that show the symbol of the Waffen-SS, as well as other Nazi symbols.
