People shouldn’t fear governments. Governments should fear their people.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 5 points 59 minutes ago

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

Probably why trump picked him

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 3 points 50 minutes ago

he also doesn't believe in germ theory

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

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 14 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 20 points 2 hours 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 9 points 1 hour ago

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

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 18 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 hours ago

Dearborn, MI would probably be high on the list.

High Muslim population. Heavy Democratic leaning (except this year. Lol)

One obvious one NYC, but he wouldn't want to hurt his property value.

So, pretty much the entire pacific coast.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The launch codes are 00000 anyway, so...

[–] LittleTarsier@lemmy.ca 24 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Some of those that work forces...

Rage Against the Machine lyrics.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

I’m aware.

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."

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 44 points 5 hours ago

Wait until he opens his mouth and starts talking

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 59 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

I have an AR it has never jammed. I also have an AK that has also never jammed.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 46 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

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.

"It's going to be a maze."

"As soon as I get my next check and pay off my payday loan and pill guy"

“It’s all just a joke.”

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 21 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Who doesn't tattoo jokes onto their body?

My wife is a tattoo artist, and lots of people do.

But, he isn't one of those people.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

emo kids with dotted lines on their wrists sweating right now

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Same for us guys with "Your Name" on our asses

The chungus I have poking out of my butt cleavage is gonna get me put on a list isn't it

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 6 points 4 hours ago

so he'll fit right in

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

Donald's Eleven

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 8 points 4 hours ago

Of course they do.

[–] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 10 points 5 hours ago

Oh...right.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

So just like a lot of the military

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 28 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Actually the military aggressively weeds out and removes "out right" racist and those with extreme ideologies. Turns out having racist in your military units doesn't lead to a effective fighting force. Yes there are racist people in the military and it has always been a white male dominated institution. Do to the mixing of all walks of life (kind of like college.) I honestly believe if push comes to shove the military would back the people over Trump. That's been the true goal of the whole woke military hearings to Congress.

Same goes for gang related tats. My sister had to explain that she was not in fact part of the Latin Kings for the crown on her shoulder, just a maid in a Mardi Gras crew.
