Re: Trump Watch 2.0
So you're saying he's not all bad.
It's just a shock tactic to get the Euro crew to cough up and pay their way so that there's more dough and military resource for the USA to batter China.

Re: Trump Watch 2.0
I see the White House has declared him King now.
For a country that fought a war of independence to be free of monarchs, they're getting pretty close. All the nonsense of the President (all Presidents) having the power to pardon criminals at a whim, the Executive orders.
Sad.

He'll just ask them nicely, show them pictures of a mythical land of plenty for them to settle in, then ask his Israeli buddies to shoot them if they don't go.Long slender neck wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2025 8:31 am Hows that going to work then? Hows he going to get them to leave?

Surely it's a good thing that people with autism are able to get ahead in Trump's America? Proves you never needed all those DEI policies!

Re: Trump Watch 2.0
Just realised that Liz Truss was speaking at that event. A former UK PM just shared a platform with a bloke who did a nazi salute. And she's supposed to lay a wreath at the cenotaph on Remembrance Day.

Re: Trump Watch 2.0
It’s all about slowly normalising these things. It’s all leading down a very depressing path

What prompted that . You’re somewhat out of order Father. Of course I don’t approve of that I don’t know what the hell they are thinking.

Re: Trump Watch 2.0
On here, at least, they seem to be in denial about the fact that these very clear nazi salutes are nazi salutes
Musk’s was more obvious I’d say — must have practised in front of a mirror

Re: Trump Watch 2.0
I think generally the point of a fascist salute is to signify to other fascists that you hold a similar ideology

This one seems to have passed under the radar, but here's a real Useful Idiot doing a "my heart goes out to you".

Re: Trump Watch 2.0
Did I say you approved? You’re the resident Trump fan around these parts. My post said you’d be along to advise on the salutes.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 21, 2025 7:25 pmWhat prompted that .

Re: Trump Watch 2.0
If you were to speculate on what they’re thinking, Red, what might you conclude?
And what might you conclude about yourself that such actions don’t result in you saying “I was wrong to give any support whatsoever to these f***ers?”

Re: Trump Watch 2.0
Your guess is as good as mine .God's knows what they are thinking . I did wonder what Elon Musk said in defence about his salute . He denied making a Nazi salute . He claimed he meant " My heart goes out to you ". If that really was the case then the optics of that looked terrible. What would have been better is if he made a heart shape with his two index fingers and thumbs and pointed at the crowed . Anyway , yes I agree it looked bad .

Re: Trump Watch 2.0
'Looked bad'. What did Bannon's gesture look like?
Was watching some footage of one of the Nuremberg rallies the other day. Hard to tell what they were all doing with those salutes, but it sure was bad optics!

Go on, have a guess as to why your faves are doing nazi salutes

Re: Trump Watch 2.0
If I recall correctly, you were convinced that Musk’s explanation was genuine.
I’m curious as to whether you’ve changed your mind? Fair play if so

Re: Trump Watch 2.0
Once they goose step, goose stepping will magically go from an obvious sign that they’re nazis naziing about to being bad optics, the motives of which are a head scratcher
