No one believed it was actually happening. They were waiting for someone sane and normal to stop it, like had always happened before. They said things like “that wasn’t REALLY a Nazi salute. The media told us we imagined it.”
I watched very little MSM yesterday, mostly HGTV. I did put on Rachel Maddow for a hot minute and she did show Elmo doing the salutes and called him out. I had to turn her off as I cannot stomach you know who’s voice or face.
I said the same. About Musk. Then my granddaughter texted me that the salute was all over Reddit. Thank God someone is paying https://attention.at least until our news is state controlled. Any day now.
Yesterday evening, the PBS NewsHour brought up the fact that he appeared to give a Nazi salute. The commentator was reluctant to call it an actual Nazi salute, but the issue was actually addressed on The NewsHour last night.
Never in a million years did I think I would be alive for the end of American democracy, but here we are. And I certainly never thought the media would fold so quickly and with so little fight.
My son has never once made that sign. And he has Asperger’s that manifests a lot like Musk. It is scary for that guy to have so much say in our future.
Am I to understand that you think I equate autism with being a nazi? That wasn’t what I said. Musk is just a Nazi because he’s evil. Being from a family that thrived on the perks of Apartheid probably doesn’t help.
Nazi stuff aside, you seem to be implying that those of us with Aspergers are mentally challenged. I sincerely hope that I have simply misunderstood you ...
I certainly did not mean to imply mentally challenged in a bad way. Aspergers by definition is a neurodevelopmental condition. It can have its own manifestations. My apologies.
Oh, they pointed it out. The problem is they’re fine with it. They’re saying it wasn’t a Nazi salute they’re lying so they won’t get their ass reamed by the piece of shit. That’s in the White House now!
WHICH legacy print media is left that has any credibility? Cos SOMEONE has to do the hard work of investigative journalism and radio/TV/blogs ultimately feed off of print!
Otherwise we just descend into worst AI deep faked epistemological crisis @ the worst time when oceans R failing 2 make O²!
It made almost every paper in Europe not a soul in the free world missed it. Imagine what they think about the American people that actually voted him in so he could do exactly that. Everyone knew the consequences but that didn’t stop it. How much you let them get away with is up to you.
This is why I don’t listen to News casts anymore. They are all owned and operated by Trump Supporters. Who kiss the ass of the #1 Fat Head in Washington DC & Florida.
Oh it seems they pointed it out. Wapo called the salute speech “exuberant” while nyt said it spurred online discussion or some such nonsense. But still, this is how fascism thrives
Tell us something we don’t know.
Jefferson Davis said if the choice was an army or the press as the most powerful, he picked the press. Chalmers Johnson warned us YEARS ago
Why not quote him?
The media has allowed it to take hold, spread and eventually it will overwhelm. For years now, it’s been feeding the falsehood that we aren’t seeing what is happening and/or looking the other way.
The majority wanted Nazis. Nazis and predators. This was what the majority voted for. The media is just giving the majority what they want. America is sick.
And, they are always about projection. Right after Russia invaded Ukraine, Trump supporters started badmouthing Ukraine and President Zelenskyy, calling him & the country Nazis and fascists. But as we've seen from Trump's and Musk's words and actions, it is they who are the fascists & Wannabe Nazis.
Didn't you see the post by the Anti-Defamation League? We didn't see what we all saw because that's not what it was and let's all give the poor little Nazis a break. Cue holding hands singing kumbaya.
MSM outlets are in self-survival mode. They know that if they step too far out, they will be targeted by this administration. WaPo has been overrun by Bezos. The NYT is fighting for its survival. We need to be promoting new media outlets that don't give a shit who targets them.
The media, Democrats and huge corporations have fell in line. It was a good run. July 4, 2025 will have a different meaning this year. Democracy is like tube t.v's, vcr's and rotary phones.... obsolete
To be fair they would have let it happen in the 1940s to in the interest of being able to do business with a German controlled Europe had Japan not had the balls to attack and FDR the bigger balls to let it happen.
Boycotts are back in style. For those of you who haven’t figured it out Elon on Starlink, most likely unless you purchased your own remote starter it came with your vehicle - cancel it. I just did. I’m doing the same with Zuckerberg and Bezos crap.
It’s not that we are surprised, it’s that we are outraged and will NEVER not be. We are pointing it out because we refuse to accept it. Sharing info is what we must do.
Resolve is to hold those Responsible and Accountable, never any consequences, so Outrage, Surprised, and Sharing is a circle of hearing the Redundancy of Info.
Which Democrats went toe-to-toe with Judges after the US Court of Appeal Judges held their Oath to honor the Constitution and overturn prior judges' decisions, NOT following the Rules of Law and the Constitution.
I literally found none of the main TV networks talking about it. Fox News said "news outlets accuse Musk of fascist salute at Inauguration" keyword "accuse"
Americans who did not vote for Trump should just be thankful that the majority of Americans did for them what they could not do for themselves. Best day 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙌🏽 Republicans are saving this country
We must NOT use regular media and let them feel it in the pocket~ money is their Achilles’ tendon ~ full on blackout/ BOYCOTT which was one of MLk’s key tactics which is no coincidence we celebrated when they crowned this hyena
How’s it that he & his supporters maintain they’re making this country great again when everything they say & do points to them not being happy until Americans are fighting one another in the streets?
He’s too determined to see this nation fail miserably to not be on somebody’s payroll.
It didn't help. I like how those voters think Trump is gonna stop Netanyahu from clearing the rest of it.
Trump helped exacerbate the conflict because Bibi and he are buddies.
How do we stop it is the question. I keep seeing posts saying "Wake Up" when sadly we are wide awake, witnessing the end of democracy and like lambs to the slaughter, we are helpless.
We can no longer rely on our Media outlets. We should all support our digital news outlets like NPR, Guardian, ProPublica and many more alike to get factual information.

Don't ever refer to them as 'news outlets' again.

Now I’m starting to think Trump meant it when he said it was all an act. An act to give us a false sense of hope for Kamala.
Stop watching the media, boycott the media enablers.
It’s real power, real simple, and really effective. Stop funding the scam and the scam will shut-down.
2) Oompa Loompa owns the media
It's so facking unbelievable . . .
... America is a rogue state now, a fascism rogue state.

😠
Welcome to fascism cloaked in lies and gaslighting
(Why have her on for 5 days a week for such lame shit.)
They do do that salute in Mexico when presidents are sworn in, for example.
Complicit creeps.
Americans join together with Terrorist Attacks like 9/11.
Now, the Nazi Stalin's Landed in the Terrorist House, and still, we do NOTHING but BITCH or Don't Vote.
All Good Under The Hood.
Friendly Fire Trolls, follow your Intuition.

When will these morons get a clue?!
