    Let’s be honest here. How many people would have recognized that image as a Nazi symbol before thos became news? I wouldn’t have, skull tatoos are common. News articles had to tell is it was and show pictures of and explain what it had been some 80 years ago. Maybe he knew it was a Nazi symbol, but I kinda doubt it given his political statements and the fact that any smart person running for office in Maine wouldn’t have got it removed long before.

      That just makes a stronger case against him. It is what it is–a nazi symbol used by the nazis. Not being familiar with it just means you’re an average person who hasn’t learned about all their symbols beyond the infamous swastika. The main people who are most likely to recognize it are either people who are into WWII history or people who are into nazi shit. Among those two groups of people, someone who would actually tattoo it over their heart are in the latter, not the former group, certainly not the average person. He has (finally) admitted he knew what it was.

        Bullshit. A group of drunk Marines in a tattoo shop on shore leave is EXACTLY the sort of idiots that would point a a fat-looking pirate skull-crossbones on a sketchy tattoo shop wall and all get tattooed together.

        This and eating the red crayons are a core activity for ignorant young devil-dogs.

      Even if it wasn’t a nazi tatoo; According to his words “He got a tattoo of a skull to memorialize his slaughtering of people in Ramadii and Falujah”. Then hiis comments which dated as late as 2021 where he said about his war that “we would kill them all because our ways of life is superior.”

      BadEmpanda summerized it so well. What is your response to his arguments in this video?

      Enough sucking the dick of a moraless supramacist psychopathic war criminal just because he learned to lie to get votes and promised you better healthcare.

      Fuck off with that reformed nonesense. Just admit you’re a supramacist just like Nick Furete who says he would invade Venzula because it will benefit the US ecomony from their oil. Just like Israeli Zionist Jewish supermacists justifying maiming, blinding, and slaughtering of Palestinians because the Jews in their country gives them free lands and prevliages no one gets in any other where in the world.

      Listen to the arguments in that video and see the evidence, then tell me how you are any different different.

      Or admit it and say it loud you’re a moraless supramacist like Nick Furete, and at least I’d have more respect for you.
