I don't know if links to Threads videos work on here, but - This video shows that it's not just him who is the idiot. When I first saw this I thought it was a spoof - surely even the American public can't be this stupid? https://www.threads.net/@j_attwoodt...QGzVilit36bcRxWtsdqZOgs5fKifoLwKOndZ87gOZCusw
To be honest BB this salute has a longer history in the USA than in Europe and was the so called Bellamy Salute which accompanied the swearing of the pledge of allegiance in the USA.. School children could be seen doing this every morning in front of the flag up to around the 40s. It became complicated once the Italian Fascists and Nazis started doing something similar and it fell into disuse. But patriotic Americans held the view that they should not change this practice because of anything done by foreigners. I'm not saying that Musk isn't of Nazi sympathies - he may well be, but this salute doesn't tell us anything because of its history in the USA. Unfortunately in a World where money concentrates itself in fewer and fewer hands - as it does under unrestrained caitalism - these super rich parasites will automatically try to translate economic power into political influence and, in so doing pervert democratic processes. In the long run capitalism and democracy are incompatible for this reason, among others.
Some people are just unbelievable. Daily Telegraph journalist Alison Pearson is pissed off that the Southport murderer entered a guilty plea, negating the need for a trial that she wanted to cover. please log in to view this image
I'm firmly in the "Indiana Jones" camp when it comes to Nazis. My family have been fighting them since long before hitler invaded Poland: my grandfather was in the International Brigade fighting with the Socialists against franco and mussolini's fascists and hitler's Condor Legion.
Found this on Facebook - rather alarming. THIS WAS ON A FRIEND’S PAGE: An anguished question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’ THE SERIOUS ANSWER: Here’s what the majority of anti-Trump voters honestly feel about Trump supporters en masse: That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../trump-university.../502387002/) That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, "Okay." (https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-hotel-paid-millions...) That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, "No problem." (https://abcnews.go.com/.../list-trumps-accusers.../story...) That when he made up stories about seeing Muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, "Not an issue." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/.../donald-trumps.../) That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn't care, you exclaimed, "He sure knows me." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../president-donald.../4073405002/) That when you heard him relating a story of an elderly guest of his country club, an 80-year old man, who fell off a stage and hit his head, to Trump replied: “‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away. I couldn’t—you know, he was right in front of me, and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him. He was bleeding all over the place. And I felt terrible, because it was a beautiful white marble floor, and now it had changed color. Became very red.” You said, "That's cool!" (https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-howard-stern-story) That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw. (https://www.nbcnews.com/.../donald-trump-criticized-after...) That when you heard him brag that he doesn't read books, you said, "Well, who has time?" (https://www.theatlantic.com/.../americas-first.../549794/) That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men convicted of a crime they didn't commit, and he angrily said that they should still be in prison, you said, "That makes sense." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../what-trump-has.../1501321001/) That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire attorneys, you thought, "Yes!" (https://www.latimes.com/.../la-na-trump-campaign-protests...) That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man's coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, "What a great guy!" (https://www.independent.co.uk/.../donald-trump-orders...) That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, "Thumbs up!" (https://www.theatlantic.com/.../why-cant-trump.../567320/) That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win, you said, "That's the way I want my President to be." (https://www.huffpost.com/.../trump-insult-foreign...) That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they're supposed to be regulating and you have said, "What a genius!" (https://www.politico.com/.../138-trump-policy-changes...) That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have said, "That's smart!" (https://www.usnews.com/.../how-is-donald-trump-profiting...) That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was in the middle of water and you have said, "That makes sense." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/.../the-very-big-ocean.../) That you have seen him start fights with every country from Canada to New Zealand while praising Russia and quote, "falling in love" with the dictator of North Korea, and you have said, "That's statesmanship!" (https://www.cnn.com/.../donald-trump-dictators.../index.html) That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids, has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas - he explains that they’re just “animals” - and you say, “Well, OK then.” (https://www.nbcnews.com/.../more-5-400-children-split...) That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise. (https://www.americanprogress.org/.../confronting-cost.../) What you don't get, Trump supporters, is that our succumbing to frustration and shaking our heads, thinking of you as stupid, may very well be wrong and unhelpful, but it's also...hear me...charitable. Because if you're NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering. - Adam-Troy Castro (To all who agree with its content, I ask that you PLEASE SHARE IT on your own post, and ENCOURAGE OTHERS to do the same.)
Says the MP who renamed himself three times... All the while forgetting that the request to rename the submarine was made a year ago - when his party were in power...
Anybody else sickened by what has happened in Gaza and the hypocrisy of Holocaust day yesterday.......
As soon as I looked at the TV guide and saw that Holocaust day was on, I switched off. I suspect that the Westminster govt was behind the broadcast - just another gaslighting exercise.
Apparently Trump is refusing to release the 'Epstein List' - I can only assume that it has something to do with this picture.
I am surprised that Trump hasn't pardoned Ghislaine Maxwell, but maybe he thinks she will say less from jail
