Nah, it's more than that. It's not just the eagle, it's the eagle, the pose, the circle, the positioning of the two - it's the same composition. I don't think that means they're all Nazis but it is at best another example of the gross incompetence that pervades every level of Trump's administration. By the way though, that Nazi eagle is apparently a particularly popular tattoo among neo-Nazis in countries where the swastika is illegal. They can leave the circle blank but everyone still knows what it means.

Problem is, time and time again you demonstrate that you're really, really bad at watching what people say. You read a story that was clearly and unambiguously about the culmination of Trump's multi-year efforts to strip students of protections against loans to attend predatory, fraudulent institutions like his, and you interpreted it as Trump protecting people from those efforts because that's what your bias told you to see. You saw headlines mentioning that Trump suggested injecting disinfectant could help cure coronavirus and you insisted that they falsely said Trump instructed people to inject themselves with disinfected, because that's what your bias told you to see. Over and over again you jump to wild, unfounded conclusions about what people and media outlets really meant when they said certain things, and then you use those conclusions as justification for jumping to even wilder ones in future. By inventing the fringe stuff people say, you've proved to yourself that they're fringe.

Oh cool. So I can ascribe any nasty conservative behaviour I've seen elsehwere to you personally and that's ok, because it's from experience? Good to know. That's a great example of how far right you still are that you think that lots of people here are far left. Again, remember that you called George Will far left and stuck by it simply because he criticized Trump. Problem is you think that saying it means you don't have to bother actually doing it.

It's not my truth or your truth, it's just the truth. The guy was either murdered or not murdered. If you weren't bitching and moaning about being corrected then you may well be talking about the assault right now.* When you act like it's a personal affront to be made to tell the truth that's always going to get people's antenna going and it's always going to result in a 'hey, what's up with this guy?' conversation no matter what the intended topic was. Ultimately what you think about any one particular issue is less important than how you think, and your relationship with truth and fact is an important foundation of how you think. *(I'm not sure though, so far you haven't advanced any opinion or talking point on the assault other than 'hey, here's an assault')

So you think it is a problem? So should you a) continue to spend the vast majority of money on police and the punitive justice system to smack those kids down when the problems manifest, or b) spend more of that money on improved schooling and social programs to offset the problem of growing up in a low income single parent household and help the kids become more productive members of society? -
Oh spare us your biased sanctimonious bullshit. He posted something that was factually incorrect and this was pointed out to him, and I can't for the life of me figure out why you're both whining about it. In my experience it's pretty much always a good thing to be in possession of more facts. This is not true. Well thank goodness you managed to bat those crocodile tears away and hijack the incident for a political hit of your own. God forbid you'd be posting out of genuine concern for the man and not just cheap point scoring.
-
?? The truth is what happened. Do you think truth is not important?
-
If you did, we wouldn't be having this conversation. You mispelled 'smug unfounded opinion'.
-
I kinda want to defend this, given that various things like the seal of the Whitehouse have spread winged eagle depictions... but the more I look at it the more obvious it is that the entire damn composition is the same. The Nazis were damn good at visual marketing though (by way of being vain as fuck) so it must be difficult for the kind of fringe right people who'd take a job on Trump's campaign to resist the temptation to copy them.

'The left' is saying that George Floyd was a victim. This is entirely true and accurate. It is you, the right, and the lying racist assholes you repost who try and claim he is a martyr, therefore it is you, the right and the lying racist assholes you repost who do not understand the meaning of the word. -
Exactly my point. You were so scared of antifa coming to town in all their Soros funded communist evilness... and nothing bad happened.
-
No, you specifically said that Antifa moved into your north GA community and held demonstrations.
-
Nope.
-
Sooo, it's ok to make contradictory claims as long as you do it in different posts? What are you talking about? I doubt there are 11,000 people in his county. And how can there be no violence, burning or looting when he made such a big deal about how scared he was of antifa coming to town?
-
But that can't be right. Ron said his town faced multiple days of protest by the dreaded Soros funded Antifa thugs. How can it be that everything was fine and there were no problems to deal with?
-
I don't think only US citizens matter. Whose resulted in more dead human beings?
-
Ha, yeah. While I think GWB is a far better human being than Trump, I'm sure his administration did more lasting damage than Trump's will. Trump is too incompetent to get anything meaningful done. GWB and his cabinet were competent enough to enact their incompetence on a grand scale.
-
Indeed, the BLM movement cannot be denied. It is changing the country and the world now and you will have to live with that change. In the meantime you hunker down, scared of 'dark actions on display'. Gee, who can break that code?
-
OK, so you claim to be more centrist than most of the vocal posters... but admit to always posting on the conservative side. You're not a centrist voice on this forum, you're a pro-conservative, pro-Trump voice. Your claim of being a centrist simply doesn't matter when the arguments you contribute to the forum are not. You post like a partisan therefore you are thought of as a partisan. If your contributions to the forum don't really reflect the way you think because you just want to oppose other people you think are too liberal, then it is entirely your own fault that you are seen as so partisan.
-
And your other posts continually fail to match those explanations. You claim to be more centrist than anyone else but admit always posting on the conservative side. Then you claim you post on the conservative side for reasons that don't reflect your true beliefs but never seem to consider that this could apply to other people too. Makes much more sense to stick with Occam's razor and assume that you are exactly what you seem to be - a staunch conservative on most issues who'd rather have Trump in office than see the Democrat party in power.
-
Except for you the occasion always calls for it, no matter what. You look at both sides then defend the conservatives? What was the point in looking? It absolutely is true and everyone here knows it. Including you.
-
I don't see the point of the word 'necessarily' in that sentence. You do defend Trump. Why, when you're oh so centrist? Even when you have to lie, cheat, and just plain make shit up in order to do so.
-
So? Since he said that more than a couple of hours ago it's no longer important, and you really should stop taking it so seriously.
-
That's just reminded me of John Oliver's response to Putin claiming they didn't have a Trump dossier and wouldn't even have known when he was in the country. He said something like "I know that's bullshit because when I went to Moscow the embassy told us all our hotel rooms would be bugged and two huge men in suits tailed me everywhere I went - and I'm a C-list comedian!"
-
Putin will definitely track you with a vaccine microchip.
