NYT: Platner reportedly did know that his tattoo was a Nazi symbol:
"[Graham] Platner’s insistence that he did not know that his tattoo was a Nazi symbol until it became a campaign issue last fall was simply not true, Ms. Fifield said. After all, she said, he had taught her the word for it years earlier, referring to it as 'my Totenkopf.'"
He’s been given incredible opportunity not available anywhere but the greatest country in the history of the universe. That’s why all the best talent comes here. Mutually beneficial, but exclusively possible here.
You’re being a silly goose about the arms crossed. That’s the universal sign for “idgaf.” You’ve never met a teenager?
@JamesSurowiecki It’s notable that a foreign born player who’s been given unbelievable opportunity by our country appears to be acting gratuitously disrespectfully during our national anthem.
@morganisawizard I went to college in Hawaii and once visited a friend at UC Boulder in early December. The transition from the former to latter complexion was mind-blowing. My eyes couldn’t comprehend it.
There are two centers. There is the decent center, which is comprised of decent patriotic Americans who may be democrats, republicans, or neither.
Then there is the extremist center, which is where the distinction between Nazi and communist is blurred.
The former is large; the latter is loud.
@PatrickHeizer@uckema It’s also a negligible portion of the budget. Like 70% of spending is taking money from competent people, giving it to incompetent/corrupt people, and paying the resulting interest.
Military is the best in history, so hard to hate on that spending.
