    I was literally adding on to @jjgator55 .
    I meant to quote the post.

    The point being that we can really get silly if we do this with every raised hand.

    In this thread we have seen both sides accused of It based on still photos.

    I was pointing out the uselessness of that exercise and actually agree with JJ.

    Don't get used to it JJ ;)

    The so-called Greatest Generation was amenable to appointing FDR President-for-Life but fascism.

    You guys are missing the point. It isn't that Musk and Bannon raised their arm above their waist. It's that their stated political beliefs, their actions and their speeches, make concluding that it's a specific salute not unreasonable.

    I have no idea what your problem is with me, but if you think I’m going to be the silent little homemaker who keeps her opinions to herself, waits on the men, and bakes cookies for the church social just so you’ll think better of me then you can forget it.

    Someone missed the joke.

    And the rest of your post is ignorance. I'm married to an amazing, educated, strong willed woman. We are raising/raised two strong (quite liberal actually) young adult daughters. Nothing about what you said resembles my view on women.

    I was making a joke because a lot of your post ironically seemed to be aimed at yourself

    Ah yes, the Great Satan known as FDR. . .

    Thanks for the qualifier. Figured it was silly to take you seriously and this pretty much seals the deal.

    And that it's not an accident! Maybe they're true believers. Maybe they're just trolling. Who cares. They're POS's and anyone who thinks this is cool or even okay is a POS too.

    I guess we'll just have to see. Either these clowns get their Christo-Fascist State or there's going to be some major blowback and, most likely, deadly repercussions for MAGA.

    Why do you say “so called greatest generation?” Show me another generation that has shown more resilience to overcome the GOP caused Great Depression, and Patriotism in fighting against what today’s Republican Party wants most; Fascism and dictatorships.

    Idaho CEO issues new apology, acknowledges gesture was Nazi salute
    [​IMG]

    On Sunday, the CEO of Engineering Structures Inc. (ESI) issued a new statement apologizing for offensive gestures made during a company-wide event at the Boise Centre.

    In that statement, Hill acknowledges that the gestures in question were indeed Nazi salutes. "I now fully recognize that this gesture is not only inappropriate but also profoundly hurtful," he said via a written statement on company letterhead. "That salute is one of the most recognizable of all Nazi symbols and when used represents hate, oppression, and unspeakable atrocities— a reminder of an era that inflicted deep suffering on millions."

    If it weren't for that " so called greatest generation" that troll would be speaking German or Japanese ( assuming their parents weren't offed in a labor camp somewhere). smdh.

    On the one hand, I admire his honesty. “Yes that was a Nazi salute!”

    On the other hand, WTF is this guy thinking? He wants us to believe he jest learned of the evils of Nazism… yesterday?

    It can only have a “sorry if my Nazi salute offended anybody” air to it. That’s why most of ‘em just lie or claim they were joking.

    What’s wrong with going Roman Empire ?

    For starters, better roads.

    I remember during the Bush administration someone on here said they were the most unlucky generation, but not the greatest. Go figure.

    Our so-called Greatest Generation wasn’t.
