I have a mental image of crowds of people that already had their faces eaten off — they’re just skulls covered in blood and leopard fur — and they are pointing and laughing at these people.

Lol get fucked losers.
I'm done feeling sorry for dumbasses that shoot themselves in the foot then complain about the pain. Shut the fuck up and lay in the bed of shit you made.
Damn, they sure showed Kamala LMAOOOO
Heh. They sure will be greatly astonished once the first US troops ship to Israel. It's OK, because Israel is not in the NATO.
"Muslim leaders" who the fuck are even these people. a Philadelphia investor? yeah I bet he's super religious. gtfoh
I don't believe for one second that these "muslim leaders" care one iota about Palestine or Gaza. They care about the money Orange promised them. This is just posturing and fake outrage to cover their ass.
These goddamned fucking idiots. This stupid country deserves every comeuppance it gets from this clown administration.
If only there was any way to have seen this coming based on literally every single thing he's said and done over the last decade!
And good luck protesting with Noem heading DHS along with SCOTUS’s ruling.
It's so sad, but pointing this out as an obvious consequence would have been bullying. of course, and immediately shot down as such.
Don't you know that pointing out the obvious consequences of electing trump before the election was actually supporting genocide?
It's insane, honestly. An old coworker of mine who I sometimes stay in touch with is Muslim, and a Trump supporter. I've tried to figure out why, since Trump has never shown any meaningful support of Muslims, and all he could say is that the economy was good under Trump. Like... was having gas be $0.08 cheaper really worth having your actual family banned from entering the country? Not only was he already living paycheck-to-paycheck under Trump and still under Biden, but he was literally directly affected by Trump's Muslim ban. I don't know how you justify that with yourself.
It's simple. Kamala said it's ok to be gay.
“It’s like he’s going on Zionist overdrive,” said Nazarko, adding, “it does look like our community has been played.”
You literally played yourself. No help from Trump. I can't think of a single goddamn thing he's said that was even vaguely pro-Palestine. Jesus Christ.

Doesn't his Sec of Defense nominee have a Deus Vult tattoo? Yeah, that doesn't bode well...

One of Hegseth’s most prominent tattoos is a large Jerusalem cross on his chest, a symbol featuring a large cross potent with smaller Greek crosses in each of its four quadrants. The symbol was used in the Crusades and represented the Kingdom of Jerusalem that the Crusaders established.
Hegseth also has “Deus Vult,” Latin for “God wills it,” tattooed on his bicep. The phrase was used as a rallying cry for the First Crusade in 1096. It is also the closing sentence of Hegseth’s 2020 book, titled “American Crusade.”
Hegseth also has a cross and sword tattooed on his arm, which he says represents a New Testament verse. The verse, Matthew 10:34, reads, “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.”
He later added “Yeshua,” or Jesus in Hebrew, under the sword. Hegseth told the site Media Ink in a 2020 interview that the tattoo was Jesus’ Hebrew name, which he mistakenly said was “Yehweh,” a Biblical spelling of God’s name. He told Media Ink that he got the tattoo while in Bethlehem, Jesus’ birthplace, which is located in the present-day West Bank, where he was reporting for Fox Nation.
“Israel, Christianity and my faith are things I care deeply about,” Hegseth told Media Ink.
Hegseth opposes the two-state solution and supports exclusive Israeli sovereignty in the Holy Land. He has also said the idea of rebuilding the biblical Temple on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount is a “miracle” that could happen in our lifetimes. The First and Second Temples stood on a site where the Dome of the Rock, an Islamic shrine, now stands.
Hegseth expressed these views in a 2018 speech delivered in Jerusalem at a conference organized by the right-wing Israel National News, also known as Arutz Sheva.
The speech laid out a vision of a world beset by a growing darkness that can only be saved by the United States, Israel and fellow “free people” from other countries.
The amusing thing is that OP's article didn't even get to him because it was talking about other nominations.
This is my favorite part:
“I was in the National Guard during the inauguration of Joe Biden, so I served under Bush, served under Obama, served under Trump, and now was going to guard the inauguration because I was in the D.C. guard,” he told Fox in June. “Ultimately, members of my unit in leadership deemed that I was an extremist or a white nationalist because of a tattoo I have, which is a religious tattoo. It’s a Jerusalem cross. Everybody can look it up, but it was used as a premise to revoke my orders to guard the inauguration.”
GUUUUYS! I'm not a white supremacist, I'm a Christian supremacist!
...
Why are you all looking at me like that?
This just in: Those who fucked around, found out. More at 11.
How much longer can the leopards keep eating faces?
Millions of people voted for Trump. The leopards have to wait around for the faces they've already eaten to digest. They're feeling bloated already and they're getting fatter and slower.
