    Nope I'm hoping you didn't fall for the nonsense, but that hope is quickly being replaced by reality :(

    Oh, Cheeto, like the delicious cheesy snack.

    That photo is actually dated November 4th, the day after the election, and there's no barbed wire or thousands of military men guarding those, um, thin, short wooden panels.

    Actually the Nazi’s rewrote its meaning.
    Symbols can have multiple meanings depending on the context. (Or they can have no meaning at all)

    The nonsense that it does or doesn’t look like that “rune”? Be specific

    I'm sure you watched CPAC with great interest to all 3 days. Which speaker or panel did you think was particularly hateful or stupid?

    Yup they rewrote it, but clearly not for people that take the time to investigate, right ;)

    Yeah, he might say he's not going to run again.... and that would be very disappointing...

    Fingers crossed... I'm sure he'll be vague to keep you fishes on the line...

    What did he end up saying?? Was there any US flag humping?

    LOL, and what do you think it looks like :)

    Never mind I think I know by now.. But if you must ask, it looks like the first rune you so kindly offered in the OP ;) You know, the one with the arrow pointing to the symbol marked as ODAL RUNE!

    Speaking of Google.

    That rune was used by Nazi Germany only for 3 years, and only in occupied Yugoslavia, and only by a volunteer infantry division. Interesting that whatever stage company hired to design the CPAC stage was so precise and historical.

    I mean, really. I wondered why I kept getting that Yugoslavian "vibe" from the first day or two of CPAC speeches. LOL

    Anyway. Learning useless knowledge and trivia on a Sunday afternoon is interesting, so thanks for that!

    Y'all are really grasping at straws in a desperate attempt to demonize your "enemy", regardless of how ridiculous your claims might be. So the stage is the same shape as some obscure German military symbol from 80 years ago. Who cares? Did you know that was a "Nazi image"? I sure didn't. Had I somehow been involved in approving that stage shape (and I can't even imagine under what circumstances that might have ever happened), it never would have even occurred to me that it might qualify as such.

    He said he might try to win "for a third time" in 2024 to great cheers and applause. No commitment to run or not.

    Just because you find the original or alternate meaning doesn’t mean the revised one disappears

    LOL, the original meaning is the meaning.. Just because you want to believe an alternative "Wrong" meaning doesn't really put you in a shining light now does it..

    That was easier to call than a sunrise...

    Has he put on weight since the insurrection?? Still rockin' the weave?

    It's been so long...

    Yeah, Joe is bombing Syria and will probably incite and anger Saudi Arabia tomorrow with some promised "announcement", but the CPAC stage is laid out like a rune.

    Absolutely! History is so complex and multifaceted. That we can learn so much, even from a “conspiracy” question is testimony to human achievement!

    Who is being demonized? Who am I saying is the “enemy”? Be specific.

    I disagree.

    When you see someone with a rainbow flag it doesn’t mean a biblical reference (or a scientific one)

    When you see a swastika it isn’t a message of peace

    When you see a decorated evergreen in December it isn’t a pagan worship ritual

    Language changes

    Speaking of, you never answered if you thought Biden would bomb less than Obama, more than Obama but less than trump or more than trump?

    He looks really great, relaxed and tanned from enjoying Florida and natural sunshine on the fairways of Mar-a-Lago during this break. High energy as usual. Like he never went away.

    LOL at high energy...

    Great.... no reason for him to come back and get jackhammered again and I really hope he does, but only after he milks a few more hundred million from the masses... That's always amusing to watch

    Give till it hurts!

    He is going to focus on fundraising for the party. First to get Republicans into seats in 2022 and to get already-seated Republicans working to ensure election integrity before 2022.

    He said, "We will get a Republican president back in the White House in 2024. I wonder who that will be."

    Most Republicans get jackhammered by the DNC and Left State Media and go float off into the sunset, unlike Democrat family dynasties like the Clintons and Obamas, who remain very politically active and influential. Trump is not going away, whether he runs in 2024, or the polls are showing something like a DeSantis/Noem ticket will win and he throws support behind them. I personally prefer that Trump stay in the background as king maker, fundraiser and PR man for the party. Lots of time to see what happens though.
