That was a real logo that Trump used in his 2020 campaign, broseph. I remember there being an uproar about it at the time, for obvious reasons. It's not shopped.
Although I do recall that the eagle was looking in a different direction in the MAGA version to the Nazi version (i.e. left/right), so I think one of them has been manipulated in the image I just found to exaggerate the similarity. Unnecessarily so, IMO, they're similar enough.
yes and a federal ban on corporate price-gouging on groceries and imposing stiff penalties in the food industry is a real Harris campaign proposal, brosephine.
Get back to me when Kamala's campaign puts the hammer and sickle on their merch if you want to draw this particular equivalence. There's a difference between me saying "Trump has Nazi policies" and Trump actually using Nazi ****ing iconography. You understand this. Do better.
I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Are you in favor of corporate price gouging on groceries?
The discussion started off with speeches. You then moved it to images. I then brought it back to speeches, with an added image for lols.
Trump setting up his post-election scheme
This is what fascism is about.
Hidden-camera video captures Project 2025 co-author talking about plans.
Shouldn't it be illegal to conspire against the United States government?
I was mostly just pointing out that blahblah is yet again being a disingenuous moron by hand waving away Nazi slogans and imagery in Republican speeches, gestures and artifacts like it means nothing at all.
We had the Junior Fidel Trudeau pledge that in Canada a year ago that if food companies stop gouging he would do something about it . What has he done nothing Just as he has done nothing on the worlds most expensive cell phone plans. Kamala will do nothing as well
USA is a free market and if every consumer stopped shopping at Safeway than they would be forced to drop prices. She will not be bale to do a thing about grocery prices
Not that I was asking you, but this did not answer my question at all.
When the first sentence of a post compares a neo-liberal plaything for billionaires to Castro you know you can stop reading.
fair enough I am in favor of a free market system without subsidies
Believe it or not, this also did not answer my question.
i'm in favor of shopping where i think i can get the best value.
if i'm a comapny, i'm in favor of charging a price where i feel i can get the best return (this includes more than just price)
The idea that if you are against banning X by law then that means you are "in favour" of X is such a monstrous, disgusting, framing of reality, and denotes such an hatred of basic freedom that I still don't know if people using it without irony are immensely evil, or just completely incapable of basic logic.
Don't sit on the fence bro, tell us how you really feel.
According to experts in this thread, you are in favour of eating buffalo dicks raw every morning unless you explicitly backed a bill to make it a crime
i'll take immensely evil
Republican urges his party to vote for Harris
A vote for Harris doesn't mean you're a Democrat. It just means you're a patriot,
you're doing your duty as an American to step up to the plate and reclaim this countries future.
I'm in favor of letting you eat all the raw buffalo dicks you want.
And I am in favour of letting sellers of goods and services in competition set prices however they want, which is never "gouging", just what people should be allowed to do with their private property.
And it's insane to be in favor of price controls in general especially today, after absolutely certain proof they never work and always make things worse.
Bonus points if they are still attached to the buffalos.
Buffalo Wild Dicks is definitely a price gouging establishment
So why you don’t let governments in peace to let them set tax rates as high as it should to stop making deficit and let the free market do its thing ?
It isn't a moral failing. It's just bad logic.
I think Luciom is the craig whisperer in part because he also sees absolutely everything in terms of morality. Not being able to find the area under the curve is a moral failing in their world. As a more concrete example, my irritation at craig's word salad became "moral horror".
