How many days until she’s openly wearing a swastika?
January 7th, if T-bag wins the election, I would say.
Weirdly, not concerned about someone actually trying to deploy space lasers(or some other anti satellite measures).
Point of clarification, that wasn’t an anti-Hitler remark, it was an anit-Putin remark. The only name calling in Cameron’s statement was referring to Putin as a tyrant. Marge is standing up for Putin, because her party is pro-Putin. Putin is a murderer and a tyrant, and the kind of guy Marge’s candidate of choice aspires to be.
Well, not many politicians know ass-kissing like Tromp-acolyte MTG knows ass-kissing.
She seems to have a thing for other nasty nether regions too.
I think the TL;DR on the article is that David Cameron said “Be on the right side of history as early and often as possible.” Margie replied with “What the F did you call me?!”
How bad are things when David Cameron is the voice of reason?
What “rude name-calling” was Marge referring to?
He said that not stopping Putin now, is akin to the US not stepping in to stop Hitler sooner than they did. By equating apathy to Russia’s aggression to the initial apathy to Nazi aggression, her and the rest of her party are likened to Nazi sympathizers, as the reporter pointed out.
I think he used the word “nazi.”
And when he was talking about Nazis, useful idiots for Nazis, and their modern equivalents, he didn’t name any names… and yet MTG took immediate and personal offence.
Or, in other words, she just plainly confessed that she’s exactly that person, and she knows it.
I’m not saying that equating the GQP with Nazi sympathizers is wrong, and I’m not arguing that Cameron isn’t making the argument “don’t ignore Putin like Hitler was ignored in the 30’s”, but Marge specifically referred to “rude name-calling” and you corrected me. So if I am incorrect, what rude name calling is she referring to?
It wasn’t that he called her anything. He put out an unspecific general statement about Nazis being bad, and she’s the one who owned it.
“People who support Nazis are bad, and they smell bad.”
“HOW DARE YOU, I DO NOT SMELL BAD.”
I don’t think that she’s arguing that Hitler shouldn’t be called a Nazi. But she may be overly sensitive about being called a Nazi so often, true.
That’s not the argument that I was making, I was saying that I thought she was standing up for Putin after he was called a tyrant. But I’m coming around to the idea that maybe she was just triggered by the Nazi talk because she’s a Nazi. idk which one she meant, really.
