Nazi
I can't believe it was that incident that revealed Snopes as a nazi outlet(they basically said it was impossible to tell and talked about "not being able to read his mind". And they have made zero attempts at correcting the article or changing their stance, so they stand by what was written)
They desperately sane wash Trump.
I wonder if it’s connected to the drama behind the site. There was a really good breakdown I read about how a war between the guy and his ex wife over who got to own it..
Can I just say, I fucking hate that line in particular. It's a thought-killing cliché.
Of course we can't know what's in anybody's mind or heart. So we have to go by their actions. And his actions were, quite plainly to anybody with eyes, a Nazi salute. And honestly, it's not surprising or shocking that he would do one; his other actions around the world scream "Nazi".
Man, for years, I had right wing dickbags telling me Snopes was leftist propaganda because it debunked all their crazy bullshit. And now they go and pull something like this.
They've been doing it since Charlottesville.
Got a link?
I think this is the one I read a while back.
There was lots of e-begging in the mid 2010s IIRC.
But htf do you seriously publish this? “But omitted his words explaining the gesture”? No, it’s a fucking Nazi salute.
