SUPER FIND.... The president needs to include it in a Tweet - I don’t do tweets so I don’t know if pictures can go there but this one sure needs to!
Why don’t these idiots use those sharp minds of theirs for something worthwhile? But getting rid of the president is worthwhile to them, I guess. Punks!
newsweak is def a leftist rag.
“Massive uprising”? Sorry, that’s what happens when Candace Owens or Lauren Southern walk into the room, not Nancy Pelosi.
It used to be setting by the fax machine waiting for it to ring. Journalism school, how to replace cartridge and paper.
I believe the Philadelphia Eagles football team were named in honor of the NRA blue eagle. There was a lot of pressure for businesses to join the ‘voluntary’ NRA which controlled wages, hours, and prices. If you joined, you got to put the blue eagle in your shop window. People were encouraged to only patronize businesses that displayed the blue eagle.
The NRA was struck down by SCOTUS over a case involving the shipment of ducks. Too many ducks on a truck were a NRA violation. This wasn’t to ensure the ducks’ comfort during shipment, but rather the requirement to have two duck truck drivers employed.
We were using the eagle as a symbol of America long before Nazi Germany was even thought of; Germany wasn’t even a unified country back then either.
But wait, you say. He was young, that's not how he felt as President! Let's look at his first inaugural address then:
"If we are to go forward, we must move as a trained and loyal army willing to sacrifice for the good of a common discipline. We are, I know, ready and willing to submit our lives and property to such discipline, because it makes possible a leadership which aims at a larger good. I assume unhesitatingly the leadership of this great army … I shall ask the Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the crisis — broad executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe."
Oh. He wanted an army of drones that obeyed unquestioningly the orders of their dear leader, who happened to be him. For the greater good, of course. So yeah, he still longed for the same world in 1932 that he had in 1912: one where people are servants of the state, denied rights of property and prosperity and liberty all for the good of the collective.
But wait one more time, you say. Surely that might indicate he's a communist but not a fascist! Au contraire! There is scant difference between the two. The key differences are that Fascists allow private ownership of business but only via crony capitalism where those business owners do as they are told by the state. You know, just like so-called Communist China (it's actually fascist). Like Hitler and Mussolini, both of whom FDR spoke glowingly of in the early '30s, FDR never pushed to ban public industry but he did move to regulate it like never before and if the SCOTUS hadn't struck down a lot of what he'd done it would have ended up a lot closer to what was going on in Italy and Germany than it did.
But the bottom line is that FDR loved fascism, he praised it and said he took inspiration from it. Until it became unfashionable, that is.
The eagle has been used by various nations in the past. The Eagle Standard with SPQR comes to mind.
“Varus! give me back my legions!”
“Give me back my eagles!”—Augustus
There are so many images of eagles clutching shields in their little talons that virtually any of them could be considered Nazi inspired, Russian inspired, Polish inspired, Or American inspired.
When your national bird is an eagle, it’s kind of difficult to NOT to fall into an image cliche.
i hope they have a lot in stock
I fail to see any Nazi influence in that. It looks like the Marine Corps emblem without the anchor.
That eagle’s not even remotely like a Nazi eagle. It’s not even in the style of a European eagle- Europeans tend to put a bit of a crest on theirs that trails off the back of the head. Early American eagles had it too due to the colonist’s strong attachment to European design.
Evidently the Soros weenies have forgotten their own George being a member of the Arrow Cross ... and never looked at the US Marine’s own eagle-on-globe design.
The coolest eagle is the one on older US quarters...
Far more similar. Though it’s possible they object to the American flag, not the eagle. If elected, Joe promises to get the eagle off everything
