A Complete Train Wreck: USA Today's Fact Check on Trump-Nazi Campaign T-Shirts Just Got More Embarrassing

You cannot make this up. USA Today now has two fact checks that are total train wrecks. No, it’s not shocking that the liberal media does its best to keep their Democratic Party allies protected, but these two posts once again remind us that the Left has zero grasp of history. Zero. Maybe that’s why we have this unhinged and illiberal leftist mob engaging in a campaign to erase our history at present. The first fail was the hot mess regarding the Ku Klux Klan, Democrats, and the American Civil War. Now, we have the fact check regarding a Nazi emblem being sold on Trump campaign T-shirts. This one is an amazing journey. It was ranked as true, by the way, it’s not. But the clarification that came soon afterward and now the adventure into “inconclusive” land is just epic.

I mean the “clarification” read, “The claim that Trump 2020 has put out a T-shirt with a symbol similar to a Nazi eagle and is being criticized for it is true. Worth noting, the eagle is a longtime US symbol, too.”

“Worth noting,” Is this for real? One, and I’m preaching to the choir, but we all know these fact checks are done by progressive dolts who probably think the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. Second, they’re done to either cover for Democrats or go after conservatives, especially when it comes to something they want to keep suffocated with a pillow.

[the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor]

And they’d have gotten away for it too were it not for that darn dog and those kids, I mean, the Manhattan Project.

And “Idiocracy” too. 2008 was only a couple of years away.

I got Double Secret Probation at work... last month a we suspension from work with no pay.

I’m not joking about this but when I looked up that phrase double secret probation which I had first heard in the movie Animal House I found out that is a real human resources term.

It means that it is the second time of Probation and employee got and the secret part means that only the employee and management know about the probation I am not joking look it up

“Worth noting, the eagle is a longtime US symbol, too.”


Yeah, predating the Nazi use by 140 years or so. Reminds me of a statement that explained that “Lent is the Christian Ramadan”.

Ezekiel 17:3 How’s that for going way back to show the claim is bogus?

The eagle on the man’s shirt matches the eagle on the Great Seal of the United States and the eagle that has been used as an insignia of rank for Army colonels and Navy Captains since around 1820. That is 100 years before Hitler got involved with the Nazi party, as a spy for the Bavarian government.

A blocky eagle has LONG been a Germanic symbol. Never mind many other Europeans.

Good God, anything the Bogeyman NAZIs ever used is...verboten.
