2. Well of course he does...

The only real question is when does he switch his swastika pin around to the front side of his lapel?

3. Cruz demands that Garland acknowledge that Nazi salutes are protected speech

But he wasn't quite so circumspect about the right of Colin Kaepernick to speak freely ("disrespectful" ). So weird how the guy who claims his father was tortured in Cuba (under Batista's fascist regime) has come all the way around to support fascists and Nazis.

4. How much longer until

the Nazis were the good guys just cleaning out all the rioters and looters?

Teddy?

12. I think

I think they are already at that point. Nazis are better than communists in their minds.

5. Why not? It's not as if there's anything to stop him. (nt)

6. The rethugs are really targeting schools. It's only a matter of time before

some nutjob actually shows up armed, and takes hostages. That's what this mess leads to. Then they claim it wasn't their "intent."

7. Cancun Cruz loves Nazis.

8. Umm...I hate to defend Cruz...

I mean, I really, really hate to defend Ted Cruz, and I also think people who compare mask mandates and vaccines to the holocaust are freakin’ idiots, BUT…

I do want to point out that (some) people who throw Nazi salutes at public officials are not trying to say “look at me, I’m a Nazi and I support Hitler”, but rather they are (stupidly) saying “your effort to impose this health measure is akin to repressive fascist ideology”.

Which is idiotic, and these people are morons, and it’s extremely insulting to the memory of the holocaust to even suggest a comparison, but if anything the gesture is anti-Nazi in that they are insulting their opponents by comparing them to Nazis. Which, according to Godwin’s law means they have already lost the argument…

9. So I guess The Finger is perfect for you, huh, Scruz?

[Progressive Jones]

10. Why do these morons keep painting targets on themselves? nt

13. Fuck Ted Cruz.

That is all.

14. Hey Ted, you're looking mighty punchable there...
