It’s absolutely a Nazi salute. But note how weak it is. Whether it’s sincere or “ironic” (and that doesn’t make a difference), he doesn’t quite have the cobbles to do it vigorously. He does it like grandma struggling to put her shawl on a hook.
He looks like if cirrhosis became a person, put on a dumpy jacket, and forgot to shave. How is he even still alive at this point, he looks riddled with disease?
I want to believe in a hell that has a special place for Nazis to burn forever and ever
We don't want our children and grandchildren to grow up seeing these kinds of men in power who are insufferable sociopaths who lack any empathy for others.
He's not committed enough to do it with the practiced gusto of Musk, but he'll do a half-assed Nazi salute bc -- while he's not jazzed about it -- he's not going to *not* do one.
Yeah it wasn't a confident Nazi salute. But it most definitely was an attempt at one. Whether he did it because he is a Nazi (highly likely), or he did it to "own the libs" (less likely, but good for his plausible deniability), he most certainly did it.
It only makes Elon's salute all the more inexcusable and unmistakable. This one's "can I? should I? let's give it a shot" while Elon's was all "THIS IS IT, NOW IS MY TIME. I'M FULL OF K AND I WON, I DARE ANYONE TO FUCKING STOP ME"
Sure, but it also seems like it comes more naturally to Bannon, whereas Musk’s seemed overly exuberant and he probably ejaculated a little while doing it for the first time in public.
'At Munich Stadium today, Der Fuher lifted one arm in what appeared to be reminiscent of a Nazi salute or similar motion.
Experts are speculating whether Herr Hitler may have been winking or flirting with Nazis who may have been in the audience, but have as yet failed to reach consensus.'
It's gonna be played as "we don't believe in it but doing it to trigger the libs".. and then before we know, they'll just be out there doing straight up Nazi salute - and mean it.
That crude from years of psoriasis, lack of hygiene prohibits any degree of raising his arm to a full & complete NAZI salute! That’s as good as it’s going to get w/this drunken fool, IMO!
If what they are doing is not the nazi salute they would be extra sensitive to the perception and avoid all appearances of using this salute. Does anyone believe them?
I just interviewed a disabled veteran who was fired from the VA, where he dedicated his career to helping fellow veterans get the benefits they deserve. In this interview, he shares the full story behind his sudden termination and who he is.
I think the unenthusiastic energy is worse. It's routine. It's mundane. It's comfortable. They're not Forest Gumping that Nazi salute every time, because it's like a "what's up" head nod for them.
Another Nazi salute getting rapturous cheers. That's what "conservative" America has come to. What an absolutely revolting display. Their fathers and grandfathers and great-grandfathers who answered the call and realized that Europe is worth defending are rolling over in their graves.
Ironically, if only Gen. Patton had his way, there wouldn't have been Nazi problems today. It's not Germany that's been creating and funding the neo-fascist parties/fractions/ movements everywhere since WW2, it's Kremlin regime.
Should have been "Moscow solution".
also, hitler's method of public speech is nearly ubiquitous. (the people have no intelligence or attention span, so effective speech means your arguments are emotional, short and repetitive)
It kind of reminds me of when old people try to use modern slang. Like "I'm supposed to do my arm like this, right? That's what the cool kids are doing these days?"
The follow-on from their lesser imps and demons will have more commitment. I'm pretty sure there are congressional hopefuls practicing in the mirror right now.
Right, so next time a story surfaces in which bannon ‘criticizes’ musk, everyone should stop amplifying it for the performative bullshit it most certainly is.
They are doing it in the open. Still a bit hesitant (plausible deniability), but they are doing it in the open. Hitler must be dancing in his tomb (rather, a few bones must be vibrating in that little box in Russia).
I disagree. It's *casual*. This is a gesture he does often and expects will be recognized by this audience. He is demonstrating that he is comfortable doing it.
The fact he even thought of doing it in the first place, weak or otherwise, speaks volumes. I wouldn't do a Nazi salute no matter how much someone paid me.
That's the variety of nazi salute that one might expect from a tubby cellar-dweller poser who played PanzerBlitz 2 days straight at a game convention and now has somewhat erotic fantasies of being in the SS.
Sadly I've been to game conventions and have seen "the type".
Steve Bannon is a fake fascist, the worst kind, the dude owns a beautiful home in Oro Valley (rich enclave outside of Tucson), where his home is right on the 3rd hole of a now defunct Golf Course turned into a Country Club run by the town of Oro Valley. It's his money laundering home, I think!
Bannon is an over-the-hill alcholic drug user and pervert desperately trying to remain relevant to the people hell bent on destroying the United States.

Question is: who is their judge?
The OP is deleted
Although which Caesar he's saluting isn't entirely clear just yet. Maybe give it about 3 weeks.

Trump’s superpower is combing people that it will be different for them.
Our fucking response is that his Nazi salute wasn’t strong enough?
Truly pathetic. Can we start to fight for fucks sake.

Maybe RFK can fast track cialis for Nazi salutes? 🤔
Bannon does a Nazi salute.
Applause erupts. Not so cute.
First Elon, now Sloppy Steve.
Extremism is what they believe.

I’ve seen cattle. I know how they operate.
Where is that sincere Teutonic fire?
No double fists held to the breast yet, or looking skyward in hategasm, but he's got 4 years to practice.
**nazi salut** done.
At least Rohm knew how to get the D.
I bet he practiced the salute on video

Bannon is a coward
A few weeks ago he was rambling a big game about how he was going to kick Elon out of Trump's orbit.
Good job Steve, have yourself a few shots of methanol to celebrate.
Should have been "Moscow solution".
See e.g.

There are good people who serve in the military, but there's nothing unusual about fascist veterans.
Another one we need to yeet directly into the Sun.
Nonviolent
Success not all you thought it'd be, eh Bannon?
Illinois, CPAC... same difference

1) Get it up
2) Keep it up
Hmmm. I think there's a drug for that condition in men of "a certain age".
