* Did U.S. President Donald Trump really 'offer' the F-35 to India? * Could it actually happen? * Is the F-35 going to be the answer to India’s urgent fighter aircraft requirements? Hint: The 'offer' isn't new and was actually a sales pitch for something else.

Musk: does a Nazi salute The press: "But what is truth? Can we ever really know?"

He will steal, sir, an egg out of a cloister. For rapes and ravishments he parallels Nessus. He professes not keeping of oaths; in breaking ’em he is stronger than Hercules. He will lie, sir, with such volubility, that you would think truth were a fool.

The Nazi salute, also known as the Hitler salute, or the Sieg Heil salute, is a gesture that was used as a greeting in Nazi Germany. The salute is performed by extending the right arm from the shoulder into the air with a straightened hand.

'Roman salute' 🙄 That was a Nazi salute followed by another Nazi salute. Guess that's the price of eggs, now.

It's 2025 in America. It's never a Roman salute any more than it's an ancient Indo European good luck symbol. Stop letting these fuckers pretend they aren't neo Nazis.
