If a Nazi salute is too strong for ya, try a weak fist-in-the-air before running away, like Josh Hawley on Jan 6.

Be best.

We need everyone to know what is going on. We need to be loud about this.

Are trying to imply Democrats did the same thing. Of course with no context whatsoever. They're not getting far with that excuse other than their echo chambers.

I’m amazed at how many begin “I’m a lifelong democrat, but…” and then they proceed to recite Reichwing propaganda.

Do better, trolls!

A jab is scarier than a bump.

In fact, the gesture didn't become known as a bump until the others started doing it...and doing it...and doing it....

that we would be ever vigilant
to beware of mobsters with beedly little eyes
those of us who grew up in the shadow of World War 2
those of us that watched films about the NAZIs
those of us who forgot to teach our children well
Their father's hell did slowly go by
Feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's the one you'll know by

10. Shame on the ADL

THe Anti-Defamation League just give up any claim they had to any moral high ground by saying that Msk-s multiple obviously well-rehearsed NAZI salutes weren't really that.

It is obvious what their stance is. They have decided that backing the dual felons, Trump and Netanyahu, will result in the extermination of the Palestinians and the grab of the Gaza Strip for the personal gain of Trump, Netanyahu and their closest friends. And the ADL is OK with that.

This is the worth think that has happened to American Jews in a very long time because, not only are they now celebrating Nazis, but they are telling their natural allies that they just don't care about any of that stuff anymore.
