The guy who is praising the AfD
Just a big misunderstanding though. This is just a perfectly natural stance to take during a speech and this is just the libs jumping to be offended and inventing controversy. I meanā¦he just wants the trains to run on time. Well not the trains because he hates them, but you get me.

Mr bait and switch. Ugh.
Definitely looked like a Nazi salute.
Itās a sad day indeed. My daughter has been crying. As a gay immigrant she feels a lot less safe today.

And they will pretend it wasnt, and love that it will kick start an argument about whether or it not it was, reveling in their opportunity to act indignant at the accusation.
This is what these fucks do. Time after time. So much of their in group signaling to each other serves a double purpose. It is not just supposed to be clearly understood by their audience, but is also designed to have just enough plausible deniability to kick start a new stupid cycle of accusation-defense, knowing full well that the people going to the mat to defend them to accuse the libs of hysterical overreactions definitely, 100%, had no confusion about the signal that was sent.
See Hawaiian shirts for the boogaloo boys or the āokā white power salute, or pretty much any individual bit of Nazi iconography the Groypers use. I mean āitās just a runestone. just because the Nazis used it and I found it on a white power website doesnt mean it is racist.ā
And here we goā¦

Sending you all virtual hugs. At least Trump cannot stand for re-election again or can he?
I have been feeling down too. I feel we are all going to be worse off economically and socially now. It will embolden all extreme parties and their goons to come out and be more extreme in their views causing more tensions amongst the the different communities and different socio-economic groups.

He did it twice, for the record.

Heās just got that much heart to share with the crowd that he needed to do it twice.
This for a man whose only mention of EVs during his speech today was how he was going to kill the tax credits.
Also take note that off all the business people Trump had there, notably absent were any leaders from the manufacturing sector that Trump claims to advocate for.

I think it is more of a personal change, and I cannot help but wonder if it is connected to his intense health challenges in the past 3 years. That said, I suspect the more of the whiff of oligarchy he gets, the unhappier Fetterman will become.

It is tempting, and also tricky. On a personal note as a Brit I would probably go back home. It gets complicated as Mrs ROTW is American (went to Uni in the UK back in the day). We live near to her parents, and siblings, nieces/nephews and very elderly grandparents.
Our kids were very little when we moved here - daughter was 5, son was 2. They are now 21 and 18 and feel American more than anything, but at the same time they are horrified at what the country is becoming. In their own circles they are fighting the good fight for better than thisā¦

No, it absolutely did not look like a āSieg Heilā. Never the less, it was absolutely what he tried to do (although I see social media is full of naive idiots who refuse to accept it or wilfully deny it).
But my god, he needs to train. His body posture is so bad that old school nazis would have whipped him for insubordination and disrespect.

Are these immediately law? His birthright EO immediately runs against the constitution pretty explicitly.
Itās pointless to accuse these people of hypocrisy, if a Democrat even hints at gun control they scream about the 2nd amendment, but this EO is pretty much word for word the opposite of the 14th amendment. We know they donāt actually care about the constitution.
Itās a bleak future we are looking at. Out of the WHO, out of the Paris Accords, a Russian asset President supported by Russian asset billionaires, doing Hitler salutes and able to install anyone they want without security clearances at will into any government position. Unchecked deportation of people born in the USA, womenās healthcare under further attack, medicine allowed to run to any price suits decide (but boo-hoo a man who caused many, many deaths by going out his way to make sure as many insurance claims as possible were denied got shot).
This wonāt stop in America, the US is a blueprint and the rest of the Western world will fall. Canāt help but turn to the influence of TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc in the fall of our morality.
But hey he hates transgender people, so itās all worth it, including for multiple people on this forum.
