General COVID Darwin Awards

It's highly probable that he is, yes. Just wanted to make people aware that the symbol itself isn't racist, cause some might not know.

Sure, I guess. I mean, I suppose you could even argue that he's obviously dumb enough that he might have been going for the Maltese Cross and just fucked it up on account of all the lead paint chips he's eaten over a span of several decades. But let's be real. He got that tattoo because he's an ignorant, racist piece of shit. But, we're agreed on that. ?

Trump has been vaccinated since earlier this year and it's been public knowledge. He was also talking up the vaccines in last year's October debate.

Good for him.

"Talking up" vaccines is the equivalent of "talking up" seatbelts or bicycle helmets.

Trump also killed tens of thousands of his own supporters by spending months and months downplaying the virus, relentlessly mocking those who took basic precautions against it, refusing to set a good example himself, promoting quack after fraud after huckster (remember demon dream rape lady being nationally platformed by the President?) while trashing legitimate scientific expertise, etc etc etc.

If he had acted like a serious leader who was fit for office, this racist piece of shit and tens of thousands like him who were idiotic enough to trust Trump and believe what he says, would very likely still be alive.

So they trust him to not take covid seriously, but not enough to take the vaccines he claims to have been behind and he's been talking up for a year? Yeah, it's definitely cult followers who act on his every whim and not mentally ill people.

You can be sure it annoys us more than anybody else when racists use it.

But still, there has to be a little bit of room for doubt. For you it might be the first thing you think of, for me it's not.

Its a very widely used symbol since the early 19th century until today. It's even on the Quadriga, which pretty much all tourists in Berlin visit and see, while they won't see swastikas.

His message is confused and contradictory because he has no coherent moral or political ideology at all, aside from "more people should be talking about me, and why am I not on TV more".

However, his main message to his base since the start of his political career has been "don't trust the Fake News".

The news is telling people for months that the vaccine works, and that covid is dangerous and is not just going to go away by itself, and that people should take measures to protect themselves like masks and social distancing.

What's Trump's base's response to ALL of that?

They reject all of it. Because of course they do. They take pride in being selfish, spoiled children, and mistake that for patriotism - because that's the example their cult leader sets.

If Trump had taken the virus seriously from the start instead of minimising it at every opportunity for several months, and had aggressively promoted mask wearing and social distancing and refrained from promoting nonsense miracle cures and insane grifters like Stella Immaneuel, do you think a lot fewer Americans would have died? Honestly?

Really don't understand how anyone is supposed to feel bad for clowns like this.

I actually feel bad for him. I feel less bad for people that aren't dead that hold his views. A ton of misinformation getting people killed.
When I read that I just think what a waste of a life. Angry and hyper focused on team politics all the way to his own detriment. Dying on a vent for no good reason.

This post could not have anything less to do with the topic of conversation if you tried. Stop moving the goalposts.

He's also telling people that he's healthy and has no intention of getting a booster because "it's not for me."

He's the king of mixed messages.

No doubt.

Yep, for sure. German history didn't begin in 1939, or in 1933 for that matter.

I think we give this fat asshole too much credit with that, though. I don't see a guy who decides - in his FIFTIES, no less! - to get a whole hand tattoo of Trump as Superman, as being a particularly well-read student of history, eh?

Its a very widely used symbol since the early 19th century until today. It's even on the Quadriga, which pretty much all tourists in Berlin visit and see, while they won't see swastikas.

Here there's a (small, bullshit) cathedral, or at least there was before it got ruined by an earthquake.

It used to have a swastika wall in it.

With a little sign explaining that the wall predates the Nazi Party, and so does the symbol. ?

I don't feel bad for him. At all. At this point, being an ignorant, vile racist like he was, is a choice. He WANTED to be exactly that type of cunt. He got exactly what he went right out of his way to ask for. At some point, as an adult you are responsible for your own actions. But he LOVED the stupid shit, the conspiracy garbage, the racism, the authoritarian personality cult and the tribalism. Well, he sure as hell won a stupid prize. But that was the game he loved to play.

Boosters aren't agreed upon from a public health standpoint. Up here only the ultra high-risk are being advised to get them.

He's definitely in the running, but it's a pretty open competition.

That's because you still only have 9 shots to go around haha

Thanks to America having 2 incompetent political parties we've been flush with vaccines since May. 75% vaccination rate baybay!

The idea is actually that rather than dumping the same vaccine into people we should distribute the original vaccine and wait for 2.0 which should be designed for variants. Boosters are going to be a hard sell either way.

Is that supposed to be a good thing?

It's not a bad thing.

I did check.

Turns out that nobody's getting Biden tattoos.

Nobody's wearing Biden hats.

Nobody's going to Biden rallies three years out from the election.

Nobody's putting themselves in the ICU to own the conservatives.

What a surprise, right?

Here's a challenge for the "both sides are the same!" crowd.

For every picture you post of a person with a Biden supporter's tattoo, I will post two pictures of two different people with a Trump tattoo AND a Nazi/white supremacist tattoo visible in the same photograph.

Does anyone think that can't be done?

??

Daaaayyyyum.
John Lee got his head up and his stick on the ice, any of you birds wanna chirp at him?

 

[Speaker to Animals]

Why would a dude in Alaska get an Iron Cross tattoo for any reason other than racism.

If it was a swastika tattoo, you could just as well (and just as legitimately) claim that the swastika alone isn't a racist symbol, and maybe the image was reversed to make him look bad.

But let's be real. You see an Iron Cross on this fucking guy right next to his Trump-as-Superman massive hand tattoo, you know what the score is.

??

I wouldn't say it's a certainty. I would say it's very likely though.

Used to be, don't judge a book by its cover. Now, the books are forcing themselves on you and daring you to judge their covers.

If I win, the process works and the people have spoken.
If I lose, everything was rigged against me by an untrustworthy, corrupt system!

God damn it you beat me to it. I've been making shelves all morning, and I just saw that and was about to post. Bravo.

Technically, when he won in 2016 he whined about massive fraud denying him the popular vote win, and that was all bullshit too. But the lying never, ever stops.

Nor does the top tier snowflaking, bitching and complaining like a woman.

How that fat idiot gets away with all of his emotionally immature whining is beyond my comprehension.
He's the guy everyone at the office hates, that two faced asshole that should have been fired years ago but he's the boss's son.

I think we can all agree that getting tats of anyone is fucking lame. If it's someone close to you that has personal meaning I'll allow it though.
Also absolutely nobody cares enough about Biden to get a shitty tat of him so I don't think it's fair to compare Trump tats to Biden tats. Obama is a better comparison since he's the left of center God...

I think it had to do with his being the first black Pres.

Wasn't there also a thing where people were naming their kids after him when he first got inaugurated? Might have been a media creation, but I remember it being reported.
