@kittensmissile@emzanotti The first image was Major Hochstetter from Hogan’s Heroes, the feared Gestapo character that got Hogan and Klink to work together to thwart him.
Hogan’s Heroes was after school TV rerun fodder when I was a kid.
Everybody knows what it means…
@esanzi@SavvyTamz_57 I knew a couple of abusive assholes in my youth…similar age as me.
I despised them & hated what they did.
Hope they’re failures now.
@Snakebobrobert@Christo34173380@rajboshmahal@bonchieredstate Because he wasn’t speaking in a military context.
He was speaking in a law enforcement context. He wanted to stabilize the situation in these crazy riot-shattered cities. Especially when the cities, themselves, were letting the rioters sleep in their own beds every night.
@DK1gmm@nytimes Since when has he run on policy?
He’s a DC insider who was selected by the Dems because he looks good in cargo shorts and a flannel.
They didn’t bother to vet him, and surprise! He wore a Totenkopf for 17 years, was a Blackwater mercenary & is a total douchebag to women.
@fuller_sean@nytimes Yes.
Many jobs, especially jobs where you can get a security clearance, do, in fact, ask these kinds of questions.
When you’re talking about candidates who seek elected offices, that process is called “vetting” which, the democrats in Maine completely failed to do in this case.
@Snakebobrobert@rajboshmahal@bonchieredstate Still doesn’t mean shoot them. You just don’t let them go home that night without consequences.
Book them, charge them & prosecute them. If you catch them again, you add more charges & time.
It’s how you deal with habitual offenders in any criminal enterprise.
