It's far time to build several GULAGs in Siberia for all these wonderful Americans.

People are sick of this cr*p. 

Just wait a while snookums and people will be sick of Trump.

He ran on lowering prices and now he's distracting with insane talk about expanding U.S. territory and invading friendly nations.

It is showing a little boy in extreme joy and energic after getting some attention and power, and makes some moves the Naziz who already aplouds and taken to their hearts, the right wings trying to excuse, and the rest just shaking their heads about the whole thing, while the left found something more proves for how unappreciated Musk are for his position and power.

 

An interesting take, but it is in no way true.  You can watch the video and see.  🤷‍♂️

As amusing as this thread is might I interject?

 

What Musk did was the Bellamy Salute, which was used in the USA until 1942, when it was re-codified. 

 

"On June 22, 1942, at the urging of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Congress passed Public Law 77-623, which codified the etiquette used to display and pledge allegiance to the flag. This included the use of a palm-out salute, specifically that the pledge "be rendered by standing with the right hand over the heart; extending the right hand, palm upward, toward the flag at the words 'to the flag' and holding this position until the end, when the hand drops to the side."

 

Congress did not discuss or take into account the controversy over use of the salute. Congress later amended the code on December 22, 1942, when it passed Public Law 77-829, stating among other changes, that the pledge "be rendered by standing with the right hand over the heart."

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_salute

 

It appears that the salute was commonly used to pledge allegiance but at the outbreak of WWII in the U.S. it was thought too similar to a fascist salute. It was suggested the right hand over the heart was sufficient, which is used today.

 

Now, whether Musk knew this and is deliberately trying to bring it back or not is a moot point on which I cannot comment.

This is a magical moment. While the left are in raptures about sending actual Nazis like Azov battalion and their mates in Ukraine hundreds of BILLIONS of $, the liberal hivemind get their knickers in a twist over an intentionally misleading photo of someone who is most certainly not a Nazi in any way, shape or form.

Is this the peak democrat cult toxicity?

So yes, the golden age for the USA has started if you like Nazis.

 I'd argue with acceptance, I don't think they are capable of accepting democracy.

 

How about 'submission' 🙂

Actually, it is Dems and Libs who accept democracy. It was the far right, plus their boys clubs like Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, who---along with their messiah---refused to accept the will of the people. 45 still claims he won, though privately he said many times he knows he lost.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I did not see any Dem groups storming the Capitol, beating and bear spraying cops, <deleted>ting on the Capitol floor and rubbing their feces on the walls, nor erecting gallows to hang the Vice President. Neither did I see 148 Dem House members voting not to certify the election results of 2024.  So it seems Dems believe in and accept democracy, unlike the far right.

 

One of the beauties of the US is that we are not required to like whom the people have chosen, and so far the US lacks lese majeste laws, so we can call a spade a spade. I am of the view 47 is a self-serving clown, willfully ignorant, he could no longer care less about the common folk whose votes he needed, and he will manufacture an abject disaster, even worse than last time, when he left a Recession and 6.8% UE. Oh, and if the CA fires are Biden's fault, as 47 said Monday, then the bungling of Covid is his fault.

 

And while I accept the result, I am reminded of H. L. Menckens quote from 100 years ago:

 

"On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

 

As for Musk, he's just weird. Oddly, he is given credit for being an expert on everything, when that is hardly the case. He hires well, that's for sure, but why anyone thinks he should know how to run a government bureaucracy is beyond me. Should we also ask him for a beef bourguignon recipe and how to do the Japanese Tea Ceremony? The guy shifts with the wind, and if 47 begins to fail---as he most assuredly will---Musk will start courting Democrats for the midterms and beyond.
