Reminds me of Putin and his buddy Dmitry Utkin, initial founder of the Wagner mercenary group with multiple tattoos that show the symbol of the Waffen-SS, as well as other Nazi symbols.

"Trump Accountability War Room". Because suddenly presidential accountability is VERY important.

.....wait, what?

Also, using the term "war room" for everything. Peak USA.

The war room was a joke in Dr. Strangelove, so of fucking course it became a real thing.

Just copied Alberta Canada. We have had a war room for years now. A war room can’t climate activists I think it is.

Well calling it a Revenge Room would have been too obvious.

It's literally just a section of a news website. A website run by people dedicated to holding the rich and powerful accountable.

I can only assume you're a Trumper, mocking the mere concept of accountability, and throwing shade at people opposed to the president-elect.

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

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

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

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

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?

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.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Oh, yeah, that will happen with Matt "baby-rapin'" Gaetz as AG. Hell it wouldn't happen with Milquetoast Merrick Garland because that would be "political".

[–] Backlog3231@reddthat.com 39 points 17 hours ago

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

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 38 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

The big question will be whether or not anyone cares who has the ability to do anything about it.

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.
