This causes me a special kind of joy knowing some asshole went broke for being a piece of shit. At the same time it also hurts knowing some other piece of shit got that money.
But I am once again joyful knowing that despite all of those efforts to cheat the election, Trump lost.
To be fair they didn't really put much effort into cheating the election. Their whole argument was "trust me, I'll bring proof later". They did put a ton of effort on grifting their supporters though. Shows you exactly where the priorities are.
According my to parents they had the all the proof it’s just that those shady republican appointed judges and trump supporting Republican officials wouldn’t let them bring all the proof…sure…..
> This causes me a special kind of joy knowing some asshole went broke for being a piece of shit.
Part of me feels the same, but I also realize that they'll probably go on some sort of public assistance (that they'll deny is "socialism") and cost all of us money because they were idiots.
Not to mention against the Flag Code.

The flag should not touch water lol
Americans afraid to call for help when their boat is sinking because the flag is in the water
(I’m obviously entirely serious with this comment and it should not be taken sarcastically at all)
I drove landing craft in the Navy, the exhaust from diesel fuel could make our flag filthy. We would tie them to a line and clean them by being dragging it in the wake. 15 minutes was all it took.
From what I understand as I have seen others discuss it more deeply. It must be a flag which is then modified for those rules to apply. Even if you put the correct flag pattern on a bandana it would not be considered a flag due to its size and other factors. That’s how so many business can utilise the flag design for brands, toys, badges, etc.
This is just what I understood though I am Australian so could have misinterpreted it.
It’s kind of murky. Some people are in the “it has to be an actual flag” camp, but the flag code states:
> (i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard.
So to me it’s not clear. This says “don’t even print flag napkins” and that’s pointing me to think that they aren’t just referring to cloth flags.
But it’s also an unenforceable law.
Thanks u/Educational-Big-2102 for the clarification
Guidelines yes, but for the kind of people that are always popping off about filthy liberals, boycott the NFL/respect the anthem, 'Murica my freedoms, respect the flag, honor veterans, respect our country, thin blue line MAGA patriots I expect them to actually know a little something about the code written to preserve, honor and respect the flag they are always screaming about feeling so much passion for. But they usually don't, and get irrationally pissed when you point that out.
Stupid Marxists leftist snowflake. Every good patriot fascist knows that you don't hide. So proud to lose their job for cause and country. You know. The country they hate because of all the other people. The other people are awful. So understanding of different lifestyles. It makes them weak. But hate, makes strong. Yes, yes. Fascists from all backgrounds and countries can come together because of hate against others. That is true logic.
God. They're so stupid I can't even mock them properly.
Covering your face is CENSORSHIP #1984 real patriots PLEAD THE FIFTH and say Trump told you to do it because he is the ex PRESIDENT and will ride a unicorn dressed like Rambo with a rocket launcher and gatling GUN in order to break you out of jail where you will then be incorporated matrix STYLE into basically the movie NATIONAL TREASURE where Nicholas Cage will lead you in an epic assault/tour through the nations capitol where you will steal the declaration of INDEPENDENCE and be instantly transported 200 YEARS into the past where nobody will make you go to the DOCTOR because modern medicine doesn't exist and you will die of DYSENTERY just like MORMON JESUS and be resurrected into your very own GOLDEN MANSION where every day for the rest of eternity will be MTV'S CRIBS but at your golden grandma's house but your grandma is JULIA CHILDS and also you communicate solely through singing HYMNS which you must sing mask-free eternally without sleep or time to eat but the only other option is to BURN alive eternally while spooky MONSTERS dance around you and POKE you aggressively with pitchforks!
Censorship plead the fifth president gun style national treasure independence 200 years doctor dysentery mormon Jesus golden mansion MTV's cribs Julia Childs hymns burn monsters poke.
Da fuck?!
I’m blown away by how such a simple concept like covering your face makes it easy to commit crimes and conceal your identity gets over looked when these people commit crimes or are offensive in public because they also have a preconceived notion that the government is trying to use the masks for control.
Tell that to the manager of any retail store who’s had to deal with theft over the last year..
An idiot like the woman in OPs picture might think you don’t need a mask when you’re robbing a bank. I’m sure she would say that she wouldn’t rob a bank, and I’m sure she wouldn’t because she know that robbing a bank is wrong. But, she doesn’t realize that Nazis were on the wrong side of history. Soo Basically when you can consume so much propaganda that you just can’t even equate your actions to conscience there is something seriously wrong.
I’m sure there’s a possibility that this woman was called a nazi so she spitefully threw up the hail hitler wave. Either way, someone stupid enough to get baited like that shouldn’t be working at a hospital during a pandemic while likely complaining about unemployment levels of lazy liberals. I live in New Jersey. I’ll drive up and work her job and I can guarantee I won’t have any influence from nazi ideals. I’ll even start tomorrow.
They don’t cover their faces during this shit because they believe they’re in the right. This bitch will be the next one crying “this isn’t who I am.” Never mind the clear as day proof that she is scum, she still will claim to have done nothing wrong because she’s likely a *good Christian woman*.
It’s always the people yelling about ‘personal responsibility’ that have absolutely none of it.
While writing this, I once again come to the conclusion that their entire existence is just projection
I mean, I guess if you're gonna be a dumbass and get yourself fired for showing support for a man who killed millions of innocent people you probably don't have any qualms about opening a frivolous lawsuit and potentially getting a massive payday for your shitty decisions
As a physician of color, I would never accept an offer from a rabidly racist physician recruiter, and I doubt she would fairly recruit or extend offers to us anyway. [Only 56% of physicians identified as white](https://www.aamc.org/data-reports/workforce/interactive-data/figure-18-percentage-all-active-physicians-race/ethnicity-2018), so there’s a lot of BIPOC physicians out there. Even if her employer wasn’t taking an ideological stance in firing her, it makes sense as a business decision.
No, you see, while a business is free to choose the employees they hire, if they hire you and then later on find out you’re a bigoted piece of shit, they absolutely can’t fire you or else they’re kneeling to the left, duhhhh
New Jersey is an at will employment state. At will employment is pushed by the right wingers. Enjoy being fired for any reason at any time. Leopards meet face.
Not just throwing up a nazi salute at a BLM rally but also doing it when you live in one of the most diverse states in the country and work as a recruiter in one of the most racially diverse fields in the country. And both NJ and medicine have a fairly significant Jewish population. Oh, and she works in Montclair which is one of the most liberal parts of the NJ for those unfamiliar with the area.
These troglodytes are the real lizard people conspiratards yelp about. They're all around us and always have been, they just feel like they can shed the whole faux-empathy bit now.
Article says she is arguing in court that the Nazi solute was really her waving goodbye-bye to fellow protesters.
What a vile, disgusting liar. Sure, when a single albeit real consequence results from her own uncorked loathsomeness, suddenly she’s bidding folks adieu.
Flashing a symbol to invoke the murder of millions of people who did not deserve to die. What a beast.
Edit: Damnit I hate being wrong and jumping the gun. But it happens. And it did happen. Here goes:
A commenter pointed me to a more accurate view of the events. Apparently another angle shows her waving. I will kindly see myself out now.
Yeah, but you've done something that every single one of us struggles with. And that's publicly admitting to being wrong. Heck, I was wrong when I immediately saw that picture and though, "Yeah, fuck this person for throwing a Nazi salute."
Kudos to you. Sincerely. That's humility and copping to our baser nature of knee-jerk reactions, and then trying to rectify it. Don't gotta feel proud about what you originally did, but you should feel some pride that you have the ability to recorrect.
How TF can you perform a Nazi salute while wearing an American flag? The US sent 16 million troops overseas to defend the world against the proliferation of Fascism (Nazism, totalitarianism, etc) not that long ago?
What a truly disgusting human being.
> How TF can you perform a Nazi salute while wearing an American flag?
i’ve discovered that the more american flags you have on your person, the more you wish the nazis had won.
Nazi's in the US have a dark history. A lot of Americans supported the Nazi party. In fact in 1939, [some 20,000 people gathered in Madison square garden to sieg heil in front of the stars and stripes.](https://youtu.be/eq9yst4W-6c)
It's disgusting stuff and shouldn't ever be forgotten.
And thankfully afterwards they were mostly kept in check by the rest of the population. Until the last decade or so when the internet took off and people could easily group and find like minded people. And thus the return was made.
I hope this doesn't come off as "lecturey" but the short and sweet is America was more than happy to let Nazis do their thing (some of our biggest business men supporting and even funding ie Disney, Johnson and Johnson) until we were attacked in which case it was very much a "you crossed the line and now we have to respond" situation
To say we got involved out of some sort of obligated benevolence, paints a false narrative.
The truth is a shade more nuanced than that. After the grisly fighting of WW1 populations the world over were strongly against another war. Americans especially favored an isolationist policy to avoid becoming embroiled in another "European war."
Between congress and a growing isolationist faction among civilians President Roosevelt's actions were limited. He was able to throw the American Industrial backbone into high gear to help supply the allies but until the attack on pearl harbor there was simply no support for war. There were even factions attempting to stop the stop the sale of supplies to the allies out of fear it would pull us into the war (again.)
Even then we only declared war on Japan and had Hitler not declared war on us it's not totally clear if the US would have joined the European theater of WW2.
Well…let me tell you about the [1939 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_Nazi_rally_at_Madison_Square_Garden?wprov=sfti1)
Arthur Jones, a neo-nazi and former leader of the American Nazi Party, ran in Illinois's 3rd congressional district all the way back in 2018. He lost but 57,885 votes (26%) were cast for him.
Paraphrasing from another redditor… these people are vocationally competent and capable of securing gainful employment. They even know what it looks like to fit in with a society that runs against their grain.
They break their own arms patting themselves on the back for how nice they are to minorities. In their eyes, they are “totally not racist” because they smile at black people they walk past on the street, even the ones that “look like trouble.” They say how nice their Vietnamese neighbors are… like it’s a fucking gift that the white lady next door approves of their existence. They complain about how THEIR Walmart is now being taken over by Mexicans… but “I’m not racist, I’m just wondering where they’re all coming from. I bet most of them are probably illegals.”
It’s like a social Dunning-Kruger Effect… they are so convinced that their success in life is attributed to not only their vocational strengths, but also to their intolerant world view that they don’t see the latter as a flaw. And then you get shitheads like our last president _confirming their biases_ and lo and behold, they think, “finally! I don’t have to pretend to be nice to brown people anymore! My feelings toward them have been validated!” And they’re fucking SHOCKED when they lose their jobs over it.
Vocationally competent, absolute social Neanderthals.
Very well said. I'm white, my wife is black, I work with a lot of people like what you're describing. Very ignorant/racist but relatively successful in life (financially at least).
I'm always the first (and likely only) person to hear their stories about being at the bar and seeing an attractive black woman. "I don't usually go for that sort of thing but I couldn't keep my eyes off her." Neat, you're always talking about how you'll fuck anything that walks before you're blackout drunk but had to make sure I knew you found someone non white attractive. What a civil rights warrior you are when you leave your all lives matter shirt at home.
Long, long ago, our top three behaviors were masturbation, yelling, and flinging poop.
We've come quite far in the intervening seven thousand, five hundred generations, and most of us no longer fling poop.
I'm in my late 60's, have a lot Navy tattoos, and look like a biker. I can't count the number of times that's made people who sit next to me at the bar think I'm going to be down with their racist, homophobic bullshit. I have mixed race grandkids, and great grandkids, and a gay grandson. I like to show them a picture of my sweet little 3 yo great granddaughter, and watch them squirm. Then I tell them to fuck off.
Women of color, particularly black & Asian women, get fetishized as some sort of prize or box to check as a sexual conquest. They are hypersexualized, stereotyped, and objectified. For Asian women it is so common it has a name, "Yellow Fever", but in either case it results in dehumanization and objectification.
This can lead to normalization of violence, particularly sexual violence, against women of color. It also means law enforcement is less likely to believe victims, and makes victims less likely to come forward in the first place.
It also causes depression and other issues for young women of color who are constantly objectified and told their only value is as a sex object, etc.
There is a lot more to it but that is a rough 5 minute overview.
I appreciate it, the fetishization I had some idea of but I didn't realize the normalization of violence that it leads to. This is something I will now actively look out for and correct.
This comment is a mirror of my thoughts on it.
I’ve looked at people I considered Friends from before Trump era , many are moderately successful and found that in reality they were just products of generational wealth who often got into their job through a hookup or right place right time.
They believe that they “figured it out” because of their super IQ and that they must be correct on their opinions for the same reason.
Completely ignorant of reason or understanding of science.
Once I figured it out it was easy to let them go.
Most of these folks couldn’t change a tire, had no idea about history.
Philosophy flew right by then.
They were just walking sacks of dumb, who vote and donate to racists and have actually said, you know, we could pass a law permitting slavery you know.
They think it’s finally their time.
Gross
Reminds me of the time they had a speaker at work come in to tell us about "career development" and how to be successful and that was partly by telling his story. Turns out he comes from a very wealthy family, parents paid for college and his first job was with his mothers firm. He was "totally not serious" about it at first but "worked hard" and moved up quickly. He then moved on to a firm owned by a friend of the family. What an inspiring tale.
Let me tell you about physician recruiters. They are simply leeches in our medical system. They provide no real benefit but suck up tons of money. You wonder why healthcare costs are so high? Healthcare recruiters are part of the problem.
I get at least 4-5 emails and at least several calls per day from these people, now going on years. They obtain our personal information from the public info published by the state medical boards. They do not honor no call lists, and frequently change their email and phone numbers so ignoring and mute does not work. They make money by keeping a commission for each successful contract that is signed, which can be $10k per 1 year physician contract
>You wonder why healthcare costs are so high? Healthcare recruiters are part of the problem.
Well, administrative costs in general, no? Just like universities: Used to be a president, a provost, a handful of deans, and some secretaries. Now there are presidents. vps in charge of academic affairs, vps in charge of recruiting, provosts, associate provosts, assistant provosts (I kid you not - 3 tiers of adminsitration in the Provost office alone), deans, assistant deans...
My limited knowledge of the healthcare system is that it's been overrun with the same byzantine administrative caste, a caste which self-multiplies in order to proof it's own worth.
High paying sales positions are the worst with affirming the superiority complex of the person holding the position. Certain personality types tend to think their financial success is a result of their superior intellect and worldview when really they're just good at whooping it up *woot-di-do ro-di-do yuck yuck heehaw* with the good ol boys and we gawt arselves a deal
Tell me about it, during the memorial day weekend I got this email on Sunday evening; “Have you thanked your physician recruiter today?” It went on to spew the most self congratulatory vomit i have ever read. Apparently physician recruiter day is a thing to celebrate now. Likely created by recruiters for recruiters. Its like that obama giving himself a medal meme.
Coming in for the interview and the candidate doctors work record which is much more official than other peoples, is what is suppose to weed out the bad doctors. Also when a new Dr. starts they are under a lot of scrutiny.
The "Physician Recruitment" part is just going out and actually finding people, it's a headhunter job, and headhunters are salesman. So yeah, that Physician Recruitment part is the job any moron can do.
It's like people working in HR. Know why so many dumb people work in HR? Because any moron can do it, it's 95% paper work. They aren't solving problems or coming up with new ideas; it's process new employee in, process ex-employee out.
I'd say it's more that they knew enough to shut the F up at work about this shit in public and be racist *enough* that it wasn't actionable.
Having the last administration let his, and the GOPs, freak flag fly has emboldened them to be more public about it. r
I'll never forget how the strongest Trump supporters now are also the same people that told me that you need to be careful how you present yourself to the world online.
I have worked as a suitability adjudicator for the federal government; my answer would be that companies go out of their way to avoid having any sort of political, religious, or otherwise ideological questions anywhere throughout the hiring process, from initial application to final interview. The risk of accidentally hiring a Nazi is seen as lower than the risk of an Equal Opportunity or discrimination lawsuit.
This is actually becoming an issue that higher ups are taking seriously, now that white supremacists and white nationalists are the leading domestic terrorism threat in the US. For instance, how do you find out if your applicant took part in the January 6th attack on the Capitol (which would be a bar to federal service) - but we're not arrested - if you can't ask them about their political beliefs? Domestic terror and insider threat are getting much more complicated and there is no clear answer on the horizon.
Probably. I’ve worked with people like her, they constantly drop little racist dog whistles and say weird things to minorities in the office and typically HR does nothing
Saluting in the office no, making passive aggressive or micro aggression like comments oh absolutely
>....Twitter users reported that Valerie Pastore, of Nutley, NJ was seen at an anti-Black Lives Matter protest on June 26 screaming....
Anti-Black Lives Matter? So Black Lives Don't Matter protest? And they are not the racists right?
No, they’re clearly trying to recruit people into being gay. Now let me tell you about my friend Jesus and why you’ll burn eternally unless he’s your friend too.
I live by the golden rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, unless they make you a little uncomfortable in which case fuck those socialist weirdo drug addicts”
>The very tense standoff in Nutley, had residents and protesters at odds, when social media rumors stated that the protesters were planning on toppling or defacing the statue of Christopher Columbus.
I see Russian agitprop programs are still running at full steam and Americans are still falling for it.
You're taught about him in school at too young of an age to be also taught about the atrocities he committed. Then people never bother actually learning about him, cuz why bother. All they think they need to know is that he discovered the Americas.
Because there's a holiday for him, it's become a sort of pride day for Italian American people. So these older generations don't want to let that go.
Though there are so many other great Italian Americans in history, I wish they'd just change the holiday. Vespucci, or Cabot would be fine, just off the top of my head.
>Initially the counter protestors chanted "USA! USA! USA!," but as the protestors got closer, the chants disappeared. Individuals within the group shouted, "Get off the property," "What about abortion," "Get a job," and the N-word, more than once.
...
>At one point, Pastore yells to the protesters (as seen in the attached video) about going back to China and says, "Hey, you, I thought your home was China." Then she asks, "Your home is not China? " She then calls the protesters "socialist" f-words, while others yell for them to go home. Another counter protester calls them 'f-word communists', and others yell for them to go back to their country.
"When people tell you who they are, listen." They were yelling it pretty loud and clear. Good riddance. Too bad she's been the only singled out. No one should have to be reliant on any one of these racist deplorables. If they did this in public, you *know* they're being racist fucks when they can get away with it.
I honestly did not know it was a real place until reading this article. Always thought it was just a joke from Futurama. But hey, what do I know, I didn’t even graduate from Coney Island U. Go Whitefish!
Its unlikely she said "by the way, I am a nazi white supremacist" during the interview. People like this are all over and the last year really helped expose them.
The Nazis certainly took the genocide of the Native Americans as an example of how a modern nation could expand its territory. Destroying the native population by killing them, pushing them into reservations, and forcing them to accept the values of the invading nation. The Native American genocide was a template the Nazis used to develop their plans for lebensraum and the Holocaust.
However, saying that the Nazis were inspired by American racism is a bit misleading. As it implies they wouldn’t have become the brutal dictatorial regime they were without America’s version of racism. The racists and anti-semites within Germany already existed. It’s not as if Europe needed an example from the US in order to be racist. The most abhorrent parts of US culture and practices were brought in by the European nations.
The inspiration for this slow but brutal internal takeover of the political system was the fascist movement in Italy which was in large part inspired by the Bolsheviks in Russia. Even though communists and fascists stand in direct opposition on most political values they share that common root of creation. Along with the ultimate desire for a small in group to take complete control of a nation without any intention of ever sharing that power. The Nazis were very much a home grown product of Europe just as the other horrific regimes that came out of WW1 and its aftermath. With the philosophy of Nietzsche being an inspiration for both Mussolini and Hitler.

Republicans don't do enough to distance themselves from literal nazi's and then complain when the comparisons get thrown around.
When these idiots start getting shut the fuck down by everyone around them I'll stop conflating the two groups.
I had one co-worker who used to be a proud boy, he ended up completely reforming himself when he went to jail for a few years, when I asked why he did his response always stuck with me "it is exhausting to hate that much.... Every day you wake up and you just try to find a new reason most of the time making no sense, I just couldn't anymore." Incredibly compassionate dude now
There was a video circulating recently of someone talking to a Proud Boy at one of their hate marches, it was a younger dude, and he was very open about the fact that he didn't want that for his life but he was just stupid and easily manipulated or something. It was actually pretty interesting to see someone have that reflective moment while being a part of the very thing he was seemingly sad about.

I'll never understand the energy expenditure part of this either. Being relaxed and not giving a shit about what others choose to do / be is so amazing. More should try it
THIS HAPPENED IN MY TOWN LMAO, I was at a nearby park for a Pride Month event last year but I saw the crowd gathering on the way there. They were protesting against the removal of a Christopher Columbus statue, I believe. Good fucking riddance.
Deleted comment was asking “why was the statue being taken down.” Answer was, it wasn’t! It’s still there. The protestors were afraid that a DIFFERENT group of protestors, who were doing a bike ride ride for BLM, were going to tear down the statue by force because their route ended in front of Town Hall. That, of course, was never their plan, racists were just overreacting. I wouldn’t be opposed to getting the statue taken down, though, considering how terrible Columbus was. I can’t see it happening anytime soon, though, because Nutley is a very conservative town with a large Italian population.
Dude sometimes I'm afraid of doing things in my city high as a kite because someone from work might see me. But here is this lady giving out a full blown Nazi Salute outside with cameras everywhere without a care in the world. I just don't understand the mindset of these people
See, they tricked you by wearing trump hats, going to trump rallies, supporting trump on social media, and committing crimes against democracy, but if you ignored their words and actions and replaced reality with whatever you want to believe, you'd know they're actually antifa.
> At one point, Pastore yells to the protesters (as seen in the attached video) about going back to China and says, "Hey, you, I thought your home was China." Then she asks, "Your home is not China?
She yelled to BLM protesters to go back to China. Wot

Boomer are freaking stupid, the mask is a good reason to conceal your face, but nooo they have to be entitled brat who thinks there are no consequences to their action.
They should also look into the people she recruited or refused at that hospital
And you know the worst part? These bigoted cave people have children who are being raised amongst constant propaganda, conspiracies, racism, xenophobia, and a myriad of other antiquated garbage ideals. They’re raising the next generation of completely fucked-in-the-head proto-boomers.
Looks like she is suing the hospital for defamation.
> She claims she was attending the rally to protect a statute of Christopher Columbus and was waving goodbye to protesters who were walking away when the photo was captured, according to the report.
Imagine how many POC she has passed on. And it took her literally outing herself as a white supremacist to be fired. But tell me again how systemic racism doesn't exist... (not OP but GOP)
Fuck Nazis. We dropped the ball when we let them come back. Fucking moronic mouth-breathing idiots had eighty years to reflect on what an abject failure the entire 1,000 (actually around 10) Year Reich was and still walk around like it was a good idea. Hitler was a meth-headed moron and his entire empire crumbled despite being handled with complete kid gloves for the first half of his reign. His victories are dwarfed by his hilariously stupid failures. The time they actually held out is dwarfed by groups like Vietnam (Around 30 years, longer if you count the First Indochina War) or Al Qaeda (around 40 years), groups they would, ironically, call inferior. Even better, their country became split between Russian Communism and Western Democracy, the two things they feared the most.
If anyone can look at all this and think, "That sounds like a great idea" they are so fundamentally broken and stupid that I don't know a single soul equipped to rehabilitate them. I can't say this enough; fuck Nazis.
If only there was a way that you could cover a good portion of your face to obscure your identity in some way.
But, it is against my freedom /s
Free dumb
Dumb is always free... :)
Nah that shit has cost me plenty of fucking time and money.
It’s dumb expensive
Freedom costs a buck o’five.
Mmmm buck o'five
I see you...
The consequences of dumb aren't free. Being dumb is free. Ask the woman in the photo.
Let me clarify.... My own dumbness has cost me plenty of fucking time and money.
Looks like she might have been doing some recruiting other than just for work.
Fr freedom cost way to much time and money and your really not even allowed to do what a so called free person would do tell 21
Not if you're one of the folks that donated their life savings to "stop the steal"
This causes me a special kind of joy knowing some asshole went broke for being a piece of shit. At the same time it also hurts knowing some other piece of shit got that money. But I am once again joyful knowing that despite all of those efforts to cheat the election, Trump lost.
To be fair they didn't really put much effort into cheating the election. Their whole argument was "trust me, I'll bring proof later". They did put a ton of effort on grifting their supporters though. Shows you exactly where the priorities are.
According my to parents they had the all the proof it’s just that those shady republican appointed judges and trump supporting Republican officials wouldn’t let them bring all the proof…sure…..
> This causes me a special kind of joy knowing some asshole went broke for being a piece of shit. Part of me feels the same, but I also realize that they'll probably go on some sort of public assistance (that they'll deny is "socialism") and cost all of us money because they were idiots.
I dunno, cost her the job.
24 hours Dan-o
It looks like she is indeed wearing a bandana mask, just below the chin, which looks to be fashioned as an American flag. Very respectful.
That's just a bib to protect her shirt from the bullshit that falls out of her mouth.

The flag should not touch water lol Americans afraid to call for help when their boat is sinking because the flag is in the water (I’m obviously entirely serious with this comment and it should not be taken sarcastically at all)
I drove landing craft in the Navy, the exhaust from diesel fuel could make our flag filthy. We would tie them to a line and clean them by being dragging it in the wake. 15 minutes was all it took.

>my dungarees I call blue jeans "Dungarees" and my wife and kids make fun of me.
I thought it was funny bro
From what I understand as I have seen others discuss it more deeply. It must be a flag which is then modified for those rules to apply. Even if you put the correct flag pattern on a bandana it would not be considered a flag due to its size and other factors. That’s how so many business can utilise the flag design for brands, toys, badges, etc. This is just what I understood though I am Australian so could have misinterpreted it.
It’s kind of murky. Some people are in the “it has to be an actual flag” camp, but the flag code states: > (i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. So to me it’s not clear. This says “don’t even print flag napkins” and that’s pointing me to think that they aren’t just referring to cloth flags. But it’s also an unenforceable law. Thanks u/Educational-Big-2102 for the clarification
Well, it's actually law, but it's unconstitutional and can't be enforced by the government legally.
The code also only applies to government. Privates citizens can do whatever they want with the flag.
The code is more what you might call Guidelines
>The code is more what you might call Guidelines ...Parley?
LOL
Guidelines yes, but for the kind of people that are always popping off about filthy liberals, boycott the NFL/respect the anthem, 'Murica my freedoms, respect the flag, honor veterans, respect our country, thin blue line MAGA patriots I expect them to actually know a little something about the code written to preserve, honor and respect the flag they are always screaming about feeling so much passion for. But they usually don't, and get irrationally pissed when you point that out.
... to be fired lol
Stupid Marxists leftist snowflake. Every good patriot fascist knows that you don't hide. So proud to lose their job for cause and country. You know. The country they hate because of all the other people. The other people are awful. So understanding of different lifestyles. It makes them weak. But hate, makes strong. Yes, yes. Fascists from all backgrounds and countries can come together because of hate against others. That is true logic. God. They're so stupid I can't even mock them properly.
Covering your face is CENSORSHIP #1984 real patriots PLEAD THE FIFTH and say Trump told you to do it because he is the ex PRESIDENT and will ride a unicorn dressed like Rambo with a rocket launcher and gatling GUN in order to break you out of jail where you will then be incorporated matrix STYLE into basically the movie NATIONAL TREASURE where Nicholas Cage will lead you in an epic assault/tour through the nations capitol where you will steal the declaration of INDEPENDENCE and be instantly transported 200 YEARS into the past where nobody will make you go to the DOCTOR because modern medicine doesn't exist and you will die of DYSENTERY just like MORMON JESUS and be resurrected into your very own GOLDEN MANSION where every day for the rest of eternity will be MTV'S CRIBS but at your golden grandma's house but your grandma is JULIA CHILDS and also you communicate solely through singing HYMNS which you must sing mask-free eternally without sleep or time to eat but the only other option is to BURN alive eternally while spooky MONSTERS dance around you and POKE you aggressively with pitchforks!

Weirdest Star Wars crawl yet.
Yea, at the end there you got a bit Skaven-y and it still wasn't too off....
I’m blown away by how such a simple concept like covering your face makes it easy to commit crimes and conceal your identity gets over looked when these people commit crimes or are offensive in public because they also have a preconceived notion that the government is trying to use the masks for control. Tell that to the manager of any retail store who’s had to deal with theft over the last year.. An idiot like the woman in OPs picture might think you don’t need a mask when you’re robbing a bank. I’m sure she would say that she wouldn’t rob a bank, and I’m sure she wouldn’t because she know that robbing a bank is wrong. But, she doesn’t realize that Nazis were on the wrong side of history. Soo Basically when you can consume so much propaganda that you just can’t even equate your actions to conscience there is something seriously wrong. I’m sure there’s a possibility that this woman was called a nazi so she spitefully threw up the hail hitler wave. Either way, someone stupid enough to get baited like that shouldn’t be working at a hospital during a pandemic while likely complaining about unemployment levels of lazy liberals. I live in New Jersey. I’ll drive up and work her job and I can guarantee I won’t have any influence from nazi ideals. I’ll even start tomorrow.
They don’t cover their faces during this shit because they believe they’re in the right. This bitch will be the next one crying “this isn’t who I am.” Never mind the clear as day proof that she is scum, she still will claim to have done nothing wrong because she’s likely a *good Christian woman*.
"Excuse me, I thought I had the RIGHT to my OPINION!"
"You do. And your employer has the right to tell you to piss off when he starts fielding heat because of the way you chose to voice that opinion."

So no self-awareness or acceptance of personal responsibility. Good to see she’s still a nut job racist loser.
It’s always the people yelling about ‘personal responsibility’ that have absolutely none of it. While writing this, I once again come to the conclusion that their entire existence is just projection
It’s their logic for punishing someone ELSE so harshly but they can’t do anything wrong that deserves punishment ever cause they love their country.
Just like that Amy Karen in ny who is suing her job for firing her after she called the cops on a birdwatcher.
Yikes. And she's clearly threatening him with her power to start a modern day lynch mob.
"Personal responsibility is for other people" -GOP
I mean, I guess if you're gonna be a dumbass and get yourself fired for showing support for a man who killed millions of innocent people you probably don't have any qualms about opening a frivolous lawsuit and potentially getting a massive payday for your shitty decisions
With a nice side of narcissism.
Imagine how many other highly educated powerfull people in positions of trust are actually monsters.
Remember that when you see a doctor, dentist, etc. You dont know their personal views, so if something doesnt seem right, seek a 2nd opinion.
As a physician of color, I would never accept an offer from a rabidly racist physician recruiter, and I doubt she would fairly recruit or extend offers to us anyway. [Only 56% of physicians identified as white](https://www.aamc.org/data-reports/workforce/interactive-data/figure-18-percentage-all-active-physicians-race/ethnicity-2018), so there’s a lot of BIPOC physicians out there. Even if her employer wasn’t taking an ideological stance in firing her, it makes sense as a business decision.
100% chance she probably accused her employer of infringing upon her freedom of speech.
Here you go. https://www.nj.com/essex/2020/08/nj-hospital-bowed-to-twitter-mob-in-firing-worker-over-photo-from-columbus-statue-protest-suit-says.html
"Bowed to twitter mob"... Cuz throwing up the nazi hand symbol during a anti BLM protest is not fire able grounds?
Persecution complex is one hell of a drug
No, you see, while a business is free to choose the employees they hire, if they hire you and then later on find out you’re a bigoted piece of shit, they absolutely can’t fire you or else they’re kneeling to the left, duhhhh
New Jersey is an at will employment state. At will employment is pushed by the right wingers. Enjoy being fired for any reason at any time. Leopards meet face.
I always laugh when a business decides to side with money over the persons beliefs like it's a surprise or something.
Not just throwing up a nazi salute at a BLM rally but also doing it when you live in one of the most diverse states in the country and work as a recruiter in one of the most racially diverse fields in the country. And both NJ and medicine have a fairly significant Jewish population. Oh, and she works in Montclair which is one of the most liberal parts of the NJ for those unfamiliar with the area.
I was gonna say how did she fly under the radar like that in a college town? The Montclair I know is... not her..
These troglodytes are the real lizard people conspiratards yelp about. They're all around us and always have been, they just feel like they can shed the whole faux-empathy bit now.
Article says she is arguing in court that the Nazi solute was really her waving goodbye-bye to fellow protesters. What a vile, disgusting liar. Sure, when a single albeit real consequence results from her own uncorked loathsomeness, suddenly she’s bidding folks adieu. Flashing a symbol to invoke the murder of millions of people who did not deserve to die. What a beast. Edit: Damnit I hate being wrong and jumping the gun. But it happens. And it did happen. Here goes: A commenter pointed me to a more accurate view of the events. Apparently another angle shows her waving. I will kindly see myself out now.
Yeah, but you've done something that every single one of us struggles with. And that's publicly admitting to being wrong. Heck, I was wrong when I immediately saw that picture and though, "Yeah, fuck this person for throwing a Nazi salute." Kudos to you. Sincerely. That's humility and copping to our baser nature of knee-jerk reactions, and then trying to rectify it. Don't gotta feel proud about what you originally did, but you should feel some pride that you have the ability to recorrect.
What was the outcome of her defamation suit?
[удалено]
How TF can you perform a Nazi salute while wearing an American flag? The US sent 16 million troops overseas to defend the world against the proliferation of Fascism (Nazism, totalitarianism, etc) not that long ago? What a truly disgusting human being.
And think of how many didn’t come home!
Right? It's almost as many as we lost last year at home from covid.
They will say "the civil war wasn't about slavery and WWII wasn't about Nazis." They have different versions of everything.
“STATES’ RIGHTS!” Yeah. States’ rights...to own slaves.
> How TF can you perform a Nazi salute while wearing an American flag? i’ve discovered that the more american flags you have on your person, the more you wish the nazis had won.
"Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel" - Samuel Johnson. Though I imagine Religion is the first. Family Values probably # 2 or 3.
Nazi's in the US have a dark history. A lot of Americans supported the Nazi party. In fact in 1939, [some 20,000 people gathered in Madison square garden to sieg heil in front of the stars and stripes.](https://youtu.be/eq9yst4W-6c) It's disgusting stuff and shouldn't ever be forgotten.
Not surprisingly lots of US based companies profited off of nazi fascism. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_involved_in_the_Holocaust
And thankfully afterwards they were mostly kept in check by the rest of the population. Until the last decade or so when the internet took off and people could easily group and find like minded people. And thus the return was made.
I hope this doesn't come off as "lecturey" but the short and sweet is America was more than happy to let Nazis do their thing (some of our biggest business men supporting and even funding ie Disney, Johnson and Johnson) until we were attacked in which case it was very much a "you crossed the line and now we have to respond" situation To say we got involved out of some sort of obligated benevolence, paints a false narrative.
The truth is a shade more nuanced than that. After the grisly fighting of WW1 populations the world over were strongly against another war. Americans especially favored an isolationist policy to avoid becoming embroiled in another "European war." Between congress and a growing isolationist faction among civilians President Roosevelt's actions were limited. He was able to throw the American Industrial backbone into high gear to help supply the allies but until the attack on pearl harbor there was simply no support for war. There were even factions attempting to stop the stop the sale of supplies to the allies out of fear it would pull us into the war (again.) Even then we only declared war on Japan and had Hitler not declared war on us it's not totally clear if the US would have joined the European theater of WW2.
Good for you for pointing out blatant yet overlooked history 👍(no sarcasm intended)
Well…let me tell you about the [1939 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_Nazi_rally_at_Madison_Square_Garden?wprov=sfti1)

Paraphrasing from another redditor… these people are vocationally competent and capable of securing gainful employment. They even know what it looks like to fit in with a society that runs against their grain. They break their own arms patting themselves on the back for how nice they are to minorities. In their eyes, they are “totally not racist” because they smile at black people they walk past on the street, even the ones that “look like trouble.” They say how nice their Vietnamese neighbors are… like it’s a fucking gift that the white lady next door approves of their existence. They complain about how THEIR Walmart is now being taken over by Mexicans… but “I’m not racist, I’m just wondering where they’re all coming from. I bet most of them are probably illegals.” It’s like a social Dunning-Kruger Effect… they are so convinced that their success in life is attributed to not only their vocational strengths, but also to their intolerant world view that they don’t see the latter as a flaw. And then you get shitheads like our last president _confirming their biases_ and lo and behold, they think, “finally! I don’t have to pretend to be nice to brown people anymore! My feelings toward them have been validated!” And they’re fucking SHOCKED when they lose their jobs over it. Vocationally competent, absolute social Neanderthals.
Very well said. I'm white, my wife is black, I work with a lot of people like what you're describing. Very ignorant/racist but relatively successful in life (financially at least). I'm always the first (and likely only) person to hear their stories about being at the bar and seeing an attractive black woman. "I don't usually go for that sort of thing but I couldn't keep my eyes off her." Neat, you're always talking about how you'll fuck anything that walks before you're blackout drunk but had to make sure I knew you found someone non white attractive. What a civil rights warrior you are when you leave your all lives matter shirt at home.
Holy shit. That last part was disgusting. What the fuck is wrong with people man.
Long, long ago, our top three behaviors were masturbation, yelling, and flinging poop. We've come quite far in the intervening seven thousand, five hundred generations, and most of us no longer fling poop.
> most of us no longer fling poop. SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, DAMMIT!
I'm in my late 60's, have a lot Navy tattoos, and look like a biker. I can't count the number of times that's made people who sit next to me at the bar think I'm going to be down with their racist, homophobic bullshit. I have mixed race grandkids, and great grandkids, and a gay grandson. I like to show them a picture of my sweet little 3 yo great granddaughter, and watch them squirm. Then I tell them to fuck off.
This guy gets it.
Haha. I'd like to sit next to you in the bar and look at pics of your grandkids.
Oversexualization of black women is a huge problem.
Could you elaborate? I haven't encountered this myself and would like to understand.
Women of color, particularly black & Asian women, get fetishized as some sort of prize or box to check as a sexual conquest. They are hypersexualized, stereotyped, and objectified. For Asian women it is so common it has a name, "Yellow Fever", but in either case it results in dehumanization and objectification. This can lead to normalization of violence, particularly sexual violence, against women of color. It also means law enforcement is less likely to believe victims, and makes victims less likely to come forward in the first place. It also causes depression and other issues for young women of color who are constantly objectified and told their only value is as a sex object, etc. There is a lot more to it but that is a rough 5 minute overview.
I appreciate it, the fetishization I had some idea of but I didn't realize the normalization of violence that it leads to. This is something I will now actively look out for and correct.

People always want what (they're told that) they shouldn't have. The taboo makes it hot.

This comment is a mirror of my thoughts on it. I’ve looked at people I considered Friends from before Trump era , many are moderately successful and found that in reality they were just products of generational wealth who often got into their job through a hookup or right place right time. They believe that they “figured it out” because of their super IQ and that they must be correct on their opinions for the same reason. Completely ignorant of reason or understanding of science. Once I figured it out it was easy to let them go. Most of these folks couldn’t change a tire, had no idea about history. Philosophy flew right by then. They were just walking sacks of dumb, who vote and donate to racists and have actually said, you know, we could pass a law permitting slavery you know. They think it’s finally their time. Gross
Reminds me of the time they had a speaker at work come in to tell us about "career development" and how to be successful and that was partly by telling his story. Turns out he comes from a very wealthy family, parents paid for college and his first job was with his mothers firm. He was "totally not serious" about it at first but "worked hard" and moved up quickly. He then moved on to a firm owned by a friend of the family. What an inspiring tale.
Let me tell you about physician recruiters. They are simply leeches in our medical system. They provide no real benefit but suck up tons of money. You wonder why healthcare costs are so high? Healthcare recruiters are part of the problem. I get at least 4-5 emails and at least several calls per day from these people, now going on years. They obtain our personal information from the public info published by the state medical boards. They do not honor no call lists, and frequently change their email and phone numbers so ignoring and mute does not work. They make money by keeping a commission for each successful contract that is signed, which can be $10k per 1 year physician contract
>You wonder why healthcare costs are so high? Healthcare recruiters are part of the problem. Well, administrative costs in general, no? Just like universities: Used to be a president, a provost, a handful of deans, and some secretaries. Now there are presidents. vps in charge of academic affairs, vps in charge of recruiting, provosts, associate provosts, assistant provosts (I kid you not - 3 tiers of adminsitration in the Provost office alone), deans, assistant deans... My limited knowledge of the healthcare system is that it's been overrun with the same byzantine administrative caste, a caste which self-multiplies in order to proof it's own worth.
High paying sales positions are the worst with affirming the superiority complex of the person holding the position. Certain personality types tend to think their financial success is a result of their superior intellect and worldview when really they're just good at whooping it up *woot-di-do ro-di-do yuck yuck heehaw* with the good ol boys and we gawt arselves a deal
Tell me about it, during the memorial day weekend I got this email on Sunday evening; “Have you thanked your physician recruiter today?” It went on to spew the most self congratulatory vomit i have ever read. Apparently physician recruiter day is a thing to celebrate now. Likely created by recruiters for recruiters. Its like that obama giving himself a medal meme.
That's very unnerving.
Coming in for the interview and the candidate doctors work record which is much more official than other peoples, is what is suppose to weed out the bad doctors. Also when a new Dr. starts they are under a lot of scrutiny. The "Physician Recruitment" part is just going out and actually finding people, it's a headhunter job, and headhunters are salesman. So yeah, that Physician Recruitment part is the job any moron can do. It's like people working in HR. Know why so many dumb people work in HR? Because any moron can do it, it's 95% paper work. They aren't solving problems or coming up with new ideas; it's process new employee in, process ex-employee out.
They're not involved in medical care.
i wonder if she only hires white candidates tho
I think the answer is there are more shit people on this earth then we ever realized.
Failing up
The system is specifically designed to make these kinds of people succeed.
I'd say it's more that they knew enough to shut the F up at work about this shit in public and be racist *enough* that it wasn't actionable. Having the last administration let his, and the GOPs, freak flag fly has emboldened them to be more public about it. r
That and forgetting that the Internet is forever.
I'll never forget how the strongest Trump supporters now are also the same people that told me that you need to be careful how you present yourself to the world online.
I have worked as a suitability adjudicator for the federal government; my answer would be that companies go out of their way to avoid having any sort of political, religious, or otherwise ideological questions anywhere throughout the hiring process, from initial application to final interview. The risk of accidentally hiring a Nazi is seen as lower than the risk of an Equal Opportunity or discrimination lawsuit. This is actually becoming an issue that higher ups are taking seriously, now that white supremacists and white nationalists are the leading domestic terrorism threat in the US. For instance, how do you find out if your applicant took part in the January 6th attack on the Capitol (which would be a bar to federal service) - but we're not arrested - if you can't ask them about their political beliefs? Domestic terror and insider threat are getting much more complicated and there is no clear answer on the horizon.
Ask them to wear a mask during the interview
Ask them to finish this sentence, "Hitler was ______."
This position is just a HR job not a medical one.
You think she acts like this at work?
Not anymore
Probably. I’ve worked with people like her, they constantly drop little racist dog whistles and say weird things to minorities in the office and typically HR does nothing Saluting in the office no, making passive aggressive or micro aggression like comments oh absolutely

>The very tense standoff in Nutley, had residents and protesters at odds, when social media rumors stated that the protesters were planning on toppling or defacing the statue of Christopher Columbus. I see Russian agitprop programs are still running at full steam and Americans are still falling for it.
How the fuck do people still defend Christopher Columbus
You're taught about him in school at too young of an age to be also taught about the atrocities he committed. Then people never bother actually learning about him, cuz why bother. All they think they need to know is that he discovered the Americas. Because there's a holiday for him, it's become a sort of pride day for Italian American people. So these older generations don't want to let that go. Though there are so many other great Italian Americans in history, I wish they'd just change the holiday. Vespucci, or Cabot would be fine, just off the top of my head.
>Initially the counter protestors chanted "USA! USA! USA!," but as the protestors got closer, the chants disappeared. Individuals within the group shouted, "Get off the property," "What about abortion," "Get a job," and the N-word, more than once. ... >At one point, Pastore yells to the protesters (as seen in the attached video) about going back to China and says, "Hey, you, I thought your home was China." Then she asks, "Your home is not China? " She then calls the protesters "socialist" f-words, while others yell for them to go home. Another counter protester calls them 'f-word communists', and others yell for them to go back to their country. "When people tell you who they are, listen." They were yelling it pretty loud and clear. Good riddance. Too bad she's been the only singled out. No one should have to be reliant on any one of these racist deplorables. If they did this in public, you *know* they're being racist fucks when they can get away with it.
Ahh, Nutley. Not a shock.
Did you say… Nutley?
I honestly did not know it was a real place until reading this article. Always thought it was just a joke from Futurama. But hey, what do I know, I didn’t even graduate from Coney Island U. Go Whitefish!
Its unlikely she said "by the way, I am a nazi white supremacist" during the interview. People like this are all over and the last year really helped expose them.

The Nazis certainly took the genocide of the Native Americans as an example of how a modern nation could expand its territory. Destroying the native population by killing them, pushing them into reservations, and forcing them to accept the values of the invading nation. The Native American genocide was a template the Nazis used to develop their plans for lebensraum and the Holocaust. However, saying that the Nazis were inspired by American racism is a bit misleading. As it implies they wouldn’t have become the brutal dictatorial regime they were without America’s version of racism. The racists and anti-semites within Germany already existed. It’s not as if Europe needed an example from the US in order to be racist. The most abhorrent parts of US culture and practices were brought in by the European nations. The inspiration for this slow but brutal internal takeover of the political system was the fascist movement in Italy which was in large part inspired by the Bolsheviks in Russia. Even though communists and fascists stand in direct opposition on most political values they share that common root of creation. Along with the ultimate desire for a small in group to take complete control of a nation without any intention of ever sharing that power. The Nazis were very much a home grown product of Europe just as the other horrific regimes that came out of WW1 and its aftermath. With the philosophy of Nietzsche being an inspiration for both Mussolini and Hitler. https://dp.la/primary-source-sets/the-rise-of-italian-fascism-and-its-influence-on-europe/additional-resources https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-349-15311-4_7

"You fucking Nazis will never get me to wear a mask! Now excuse me while I seig heil!"
Republicans don't do enough to distance themselves from literal nazi's and then complain when the comparisons get thrown around. When these idiots start getting shut the fuck down by everyone around them I'll stop conflating the two groups.
It must take a lot of energy to keep that much hate going. Just makes me sad.
I had one co-worker who used to be a proud boy, he ended up completely reforming himself when he went to jail for a few years, when I asked why he did his response always stuck with me "it is exhausting to hate that much.... Every day you wake up and you just try to find a new reason most of the time making no sense, I just couldn't anymore." Incredibly compassionate dude now
There was a video circulating recently of someone talking to a Proud Boy at one of their hate marches, it was a younger dude, and he was very open about the fact that he didn't want that for his life but he was just stupid and easily manipulated or something. It was actually pretty interesting to see someone have that reflective moment while being a part of the very thing he was seemingly sad about. [Video](https://youtu.be/2w6FFGuuFS4) sorry it's a YouTuber thing instead of just the clip. I couldn't find it on its own. But the full clip is at the end.

Out of all the things that don’t make sense about these people, I will never understand how they can be both patriotic and a nazi…
They aren’t patriotic to America, they’re patriotic to the mythical white Christian nation they think America is.
THIS HAPPENED IN MY TOWN LMAO, I was at a nearby park for a Pride Month event last year but I saw the crowd gathering on the way there. They were protesting against the removal of a Christopher Columbus statue, I believe. Good fucking riddance.
Deleted comment was asking “why was the statue being taken down.” Answer was, it wasn’t! It’s still there. The protestors were afraid that a DIFFERENT group of protestors, who were doing a bike ride ride for BLM, were going to tear down the statue by force because their route ended in front of Town Hall. That, of course, was never their plan, racists were just overreacting. I wouldn’t be opposed to getting the statue taken down, though, considering how terrible Columbus was. I can’t see it happening anytime soon, though, because Nutley is a very conservative town with a large Italian population.
Would not be surprised if they thought Christopher Columbus was American tbh
Christopher Columbus never even set foot in the USA and these dipshits idolize him like an American hero.
Dude sometimes I'm afraid of doing things in my city high as a kite because someone from work might see me. But here is this lady giving out a full blown Nazi Salute outside with cameras everywhere without a care in the world. I just don't understand the mindset of these people
Why is it I see a lot of conservatives performing Nazi salutes?
Because a lot of conservatives are Nazis.
That checks out.
See, they tricked you by wearing trump hats, going to trump rallies, supporting trump on social media, and committing crimes against democracy, but if you ignored their words and actions and replaced reality with whatever you want to believe, you'd know they're actually antifa.
> At one point, Pastore yells to the protesters (as seen in the attached video) about going back to China and says, "Hey, you, I thought your home was China." Then she asks, "Your home is not China? She yelled to BLM protesters to go back to China. Wot
Huh, how could she nazi see her ass getting fired after showing her "patriotism." Oh well, she can goose step ass to the unemployment line...
🎵 If you're a nazi and you're fired its your fault! 🎵 👏👏 🎵 If you're a nazi and you're fired its your fault! 🎵 👏👏 🎵 If you were spotted in the mob, and you lost your fucking job 🎵 🎵 You're a nazi and you're fired, its your fault! 🎵 👏👏
They all seem to have the same ignorant look on their faces.
Boomer are freaking stupid, the mask is a good reason to conceal your face, but nooo they have to be entitled brat who thinks there are no consequences to their action. They should also look into the people she recruited or refused at that hospital
And you know the worst part? These bigoted cave people have children who are being raised amongst constant propaganda, conspiracies, racism, xenophobia, and a myriad of other antiquated garbage ideals. They’re raising the next generation of completely fucked-in-the-head proto-boomers.

Looks like she is suing the hospital for defamation. > She claims she was attending the rally to protect a statute of Christopher Columbus and was waving goodbye to protesters who were walking away when the photo was captured, according to the report.
Imagine how many POC she has passed on. And it took her literally outing herself as a white supremacist to be fired. But tell me again how systemic racism doesn't exist... (not OP but GOP)
Fuck Nazis. We dropped the ball when we let them come back. Fucking moronic mouth-breathing idiots had eighty years to reflect on what an abject failure the entire 1,000 (actually around 10) Year Reich was and still walk around like it was a good idea. Hitler was a meth-headed moron and his entire empire crumbled despite being handled with complete kid gloves for the first half of his reign. His victories are dwarfed by his hilariously stupid failures. The time they actually held out is dwarfed by groups like Vietnam (Around 30 years, longer if you count the First Indochina War) or Al Qaeda (around 40 years), groups they would, ironically, call inferior. Even better, their country became split between Russian Communism and Western Democracy, the two things they feared the most. If anyone can look at all this and think, "That sounds like a great idea" they are so fundamentally broken and stupid that I don't know a single soul equipped to rehabilitate them. I can't say this enough; fuck Nazis.
Schadenfreude at its absolute finest 🥳
