Re: The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
I think Musk's Nazi salute was a fascinating moment. Firstly because the ADL, who call you an antisemite if don't like Israeli couscous, defend him by saying it was an "awkward gesture." Can you imagine if Rashida Tlaib said and did the exact same thing? They'd be calling for her head. And even though Elon Musk has had his issues with antisemetism in the past, they are willing to give him a pass because they care more about anti-Zionism, and the Musk administration and Twitter are going to help turn Gaza into Greater Israel. Same with all the others that are quick to call you an antisemite if you eat watermelon, Rachel Riley for one. Silence.
And secondly, it was fascinating to see the gaslighting happen in real time. It was a case of throw shit at the wall and see what sticks. It went from "only" being the roman salute (which is also known as the fascist salute, which inspired the Nazi salute, so i don't know how that excuse helped), to posting as many images of Democrats with their hands in the air showing that it can happen to anyone, even though they were clearly photos of people waving, not throwing up a Nazi Salute...now they seem to have landed on "Elon Musk is an enthusiastic spastic with autism/aspergers." I see that's the line this site is going with.
I love how people refuse to believe that a guy whose family got rich in apartheid south africa, and whose grandparents were in the Nazi party, who promotes racists online, supports the far right in gernmany, who wants to make the US, UK, and germany white again, could inadvertedly throw up a Nazi salute. He knows what putting his hand to his chest then throwing up "an outstretched right arm with the palm down" (ADL definition of the salute) means. He just doesn't give a fuck, and places like this site show why.
As someone else said like it was a good thing, the word Nazi will now be diluted to fuck. As will fascist. If you call it what it is, you will just be unpatriotic. It's well played really.

There's still an incredible amount of people who still want it written to how it told to them, sadly.

Re: The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
According to the USA Constitution Biden’s recently issued pardons do not cover anything committed from the time of issue forward.
It’s worth remembering too that Presidential immunity, according to the Supreme Court, does not cover actions outside of the line of Presidential duty.

So any of Biden's little mafia can now and in the future literally commit murder, treason, racketeering, grand theft auto, rape, incest and whatever they call gbh there and walk away absolutely free when convicted of these things. Although the pardon is clearly intended to dissuade any future less politically biased FBI (probably about next Tuesday) from bothering to investigating these crimes.
I have a hunch Trump, who controls the Senate, the House and the Supreme Court, or a Republican, or even decent Democrat, from one of those bodies may decide Biden has exceeded his powers here and find a way to rescind this nonsense.

Especially after berating Trump with accusations of preemptive pardons when Trump was leaving office, and stating his administration would never do such a thing.
Prove the fraud of 2020 (which is now obvious after 15 million voters evaporated), which invalidates SpongeBrain ShitPant's Presidency and therefore, presumably, nullifies the pardons as he was never President. Then prosecute them all.

Re: The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
says the man with 1381 posts almost exclusively rimming Trump. As for Musk I can't see how people didn't work out what sort of man he is when he called the man that saved those Thai kids a Paedo because he didn't let him use his little sub.
But it's quite sweet people believe these sort of people actually care about them, as for Biden yes he's an incompetent toxic twat too.
I love certain types on here have so little nuance they can't comprehend how people can possibly dislike both sides, most people with a shred of IQ feel completely sickened by having to choose between either ever increasingly unhinged side of the debate, you don't even have to be a centrist, most traditionally left and right wing people with a shed of rationality have been left in the dust by people that no longer represent their core beliefs
