Trump

Oh, didn't you know? All the cool kids do nazi salutes now. Musk is down with the gamer crowd, they're all about joking about being nazis. You know, ironically.

Is I'm sure what the justification for that will be.

I'm sure he's not a good friend of neo-nazis, pushing neo-nazi agendas through the media platform he owns.

Best hope at this point is that infighting will drag it down.

Will still suck for America as they’re going to torch the constitution on the way out but it’ll limit the long term damage.

I talk to a couple of Texans most days of the working week. One of the cleverest people I know is one of these guys. He's a proper maths genius, highly educated, genuinely insightful and knowledgeable and I learn something from him most days about what he talks about.

Yet today he said about how Kamala was stupid, Trump was clever because he's a 'successful businessman', how he's now got the best business brains around him about how they'll now save the country, and how happy he is as he doesn't have to worry about transgender men in women's sports anymore. It was an eye-opening bit of dialog.... And he's one of their clever ones.

Imagine what the stupid ones all think and then don't be amazed that they elected Trump again.

I hope Trump does everything he promised because then, when America is truly fucked in 4 years time it'll be absolutely clear whose fault it is. The Reps have the house, the senate and the presidency, so everything that happens or doesn't happen for the next 4 years is on them.

Wow, Musk really is a horrendous public speaker

[RobYob]

I was ffwing through and then wondering what the fuss was about. Then I read the comments that Fox have edited the cut so shows the crowd at 1:17 when the salute occurs. Holy fuck.

[Mito Man]

After his gaming cock up he's had to find a new way to get them to support him again


Only thing is this seems to conflict with the thing Beany was on about about supporting Israel so the Jews can go back someplace and everyone can go to heaven. Or is that just a Trump agenda. I'm so confused at this point.

[Beany]

Of course Fox cut the salute. They've been sanewashing Trumps more reich wing comments and statements for a decade.

I suppose the nazi salute will at least take away from Musks doped up, drug fuelled stammering bollocks.

Re the antisemitism, the great replacement shit they keep spouting is direct neonazi rhetoric - the jews are sending brown people to genocide the white race by outbreeding them (which is why a lot of the republican right are obsessed with getting more white babies and 'family values'). They support Israel because they need the evangelical vote.

You're assuming that rampant bigots need a sense of internal consistency and logic - they don't, because a lot of their voters don't either.

What a disgusting cvnt.

I’m not sure what’s worse though, him doing it in front of a worldwide audience of millions (billions?) or mainstream media completely glossing over and ignoring it.

[Explosive Newt]

There was some nonsense about it being a 'Roman' salute. Jesus.

So anyway, donold has called the sending of "unlimited funds" to Ukraine (which is a lie anyway) a "betrayal". That gives us a solid pointer on what his peace plan looks like.

He's completely pardoned 1,500 Jan 6 rioters. That's a green light for them to do that kind of shit again, anywhere they want.

He's ordering investigations into all the investigations against him & his fellow MAGAs claiming it was weaponisation of the justice system. Doing this is the very definition of weaponisation of the justice system.

He repeated his intention to seize the Panama Canal and wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America". Hilary was visible in the audience at this point laughing and shaking her head

Fantastic start. Let's see what day two delivers.

[Simon]

Is he dead yet?

[Sundayjumper]

"I've never wished anyone dead, but I have read certain obituaries with glee"

Or words to that effect.

[Gavster]

Also withdrawl from World Health Organisation.

It's weird how this is all 'Make America Great Again' yet it all looks backwards and isolationist. America is really on it's downward arc now, and as a Brit, I know what that looks like lol

[Sundayjumper]

I was just coming back to mention that. And the Paris Agreement, but that's no surprise as he did it last time too.

Also, Lorenzo Sewell, the pastor who spoke at the inauguration, has launched a meme coin.

It's what is causing the animosity between Musk and MAGA. While Musk is a racist, he likes globalism as it makes him money, where as Maga is a more trad racist nationalist movement and wants the isolationist policy.

Being a pastor in America is a great way to become a millionaire. Money helps to spread the word of god, right?

Cracking on with the high priority stuff, the Spanish language version of the Whitehouse website has been taken down:

Confirmed it's real by Googling "la casa blanca", and that's definitely the real link:

Over 43 million pepople in the US speak Spanish at home:

All those "Latinos for Trump" can be very proud:
