This should be the sticking point to invoke the 25th. Officials need to be loud and make a stink about how Trump can’t tell fact from clear fiction and therefore cannot perform the duties of the office. Make the people of America see the image on the news everyday and make those on his side say out loud if they think it’s fake or real. Half of the masses will never be convinced that he lacks the morality to lead until they’re already in his camps. This is the earliest clear as day moment to act on that which cannot be held to subjective scrutiny or partisanship.

Aw, cute. Pretending that he can hide behind patriotism.

It’s all nationalism. All of it. This fucker, his boss, and every single member of this administration are wiping their asses with the constitution, so don’t give us this bullshit.

You know which tattoos I’m talking about. You don’t get to say “oh, what? The "patriot” tattoos? Let me list them out! The “christian” tattoos? Let’s gloss over those!"

He doesn’t have a proper cross or a goddamn christian bone in his body. He wears the Jerusalem cross because he loves the crusades because he wants brutal genocidal war with muslims. He literally wrote a book calling for the “American Crusade”. That hasn’t been fucking Christian since the church collected tithes, crowned kings, and executed scientists.

He is a fascist, and he proudly wears symbols of hatred and violence on his skin.

Edit - btw, pay attention to what people respond to! Hellsfire chooses not to acknowledge anything about Hegseth writing a fucking book called the American Crusade. Just more “context”. There’s always more “context”

“It’s called the Jerusalem cross. It’s a historic Christian symbol. In fact, interestingly recently I attended briefly the memorial ceremony of former President Jimmy Carter, on the floor of our national cathedral, on the front page of his program was the very same Jerusalem Cross. It is a Christian religious symbol,” Hegseth said.

Yea, definitely a fascist Nazi. This is from an interview posted on PBS.org

Yes, definitely a fascist. Once more for everyone in the back! Yes, it’s a real symbol from christian history! Sure, it’s inlaid on the floor of a church!

No, Hegseth doesn’t wear it because of his faith!

He wears it because he wants brutal genocidal war against muslims… you know, like an “American Crusade”. He is a fascist who proudly wears these symbols of hatred and violence on his skin.

Well, those tattoos are, again, symbols that are used by white Christian nationalists. Those who have adopted these Crusader images really see themselves as at war with those trying to take down American Christianity and Western civilization at large

What a coincidence! This was also from an interview posted on PBS.org.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
