So now were going to treat Hitler like the n-word where even saying it, regardless of context, is haram?
This country is out of control.

B-But to support the 2nd is to be like Hitler because it is like so Trump/Hitler and stuff!

Well, no, of course not.
The Left can use Hitler freely as a form of slander.
You just can’t use Hitler honestly in ways that might harm Left wing causes like gun control.

why should this even be in the news with all the blackletes making Hitler and remarks about comparing POTUS to him?
I hope this hottie doesn’t back down. lol
To: Skywise
So much manufactured outrage, all designed to stifle speech (and thought, eventually) not explicitly sanctioned by the Marxist left.

He has a great shot at winning the Triple Crown. It will be amusing to watch the liberal sports media either try to explain why a Triple Crown winner is not MVP, or having to hold their noses and vote for him.

It’s actually a pretty popular meme. Don’t know what the controversy is.

Soon they will go too far. At that point they will marginalize themselves from everybody.

This Sox team is hard to dislike. In fact, all these top teams are filled with good dudes and roll models. Baseball is in a good place.
