Remember, remember the 7th of December.

Indeed. Just thought that I should give some context since some people on here might not have seen the whole thing.
October 5, 2025 at 11:13 PM
Agreed. It's not a good look whatsoever. The way Aaron cut the clip doesn't help. Still, you would think that people could recognize the applause wasn't for the gnat comment, especially since you could see the sailors actively deflating as Trump spoke.

This was in Norfolk. Grooming standards are a bit less strict when not on deployment.

Just a heads up, the applause was for the line before where Trump promised that the sailors would get get backpay once the shutdown ends. Now, he did call it the "Democrat shutdown", but they were clearly applauding for getting paid. They didn't have the same response to the gnat comment.

They were applauding Trump assuring them that they would be getting their backpay once the shutdown ends.
October 5, 2025 at 10:45 PM
Keep in mind that the applause was mainly for what Trump said before this about the sailors getting backpay once the shutdown ends.
October 5, 2025 at 10:11 PM
They were applauding the previous line about being paid once the shutdown ends. They didn't really react to the gnat line as strongly.
October 5, 2025 at 10:04 PM
The line before the clip was Trump promising that the sailors would be getting their money once the shutdown ends. Of course, that's how it's always worked with shutdowns.
October 5, 2025 at 9:30 PM
Really? First time I've heard of them. Is that really a "scandal" though?
October 5, 2025 at 9:24 PM
They were clapping because Trump said that they would get their backpay once the shutdown ends, which is how it's always been.
October 5, 2025 at 9:13 PM
A lot of them are probably being forced to be there too.
October 5, 2025 at 9:01 PM
What is he even talking about? Ladies from North Carolina?
October 5, 2025 at 8:59 PM
They weren't clapping about the Dems. You can literally see some of the sailors forcing smiles and losing them as he starts to go into that talking point.
October 5, 2025 at 8:54 PM
Ah yes, let's bring back a ship type that's out of date.

So...basically, he wants to be the IRL version the Crusaders. Going out into the desert without adequate water supplies, pissing and shitting yourself to death.

And get the Baltimore Ravens radio commentator Gerry Sandusky to assist.

Calley doesn't even have a medical degree.
September 24, 2025 at 5:37 PM
Well, that certainly brings back some memories.

So much projection, considering that Christianity is literally a doomsday religion/cult.
September 14, 2025 at 10:37 PM
You forgot the second "er" in "murderers".
September 14, 2025 at 5:57 PM
I'm seeing a number of right-wingers "independently confirming" the story, which makes me think that they're trying to get wider distribution before they add it as a "fact". That, or they know it's BS.
September 13, 2025 at 8:08 PM
I swear, we're on the verge of sissy hypno being blamed for the shooting.
September 13, 2025 at 8:01 PM
Are they trying to imply that sharing a house with a transgender person is enough to cause someone to snap? Man, they are trying to take away agency from the shooter.

Been seeing all kinds of sketchy stuff. Someone from the Guardian interviewed a friend who said he was "leftist", but they started drifting apart in high school and hadn't spoken in years. And who knows what a Mormon would consider to be "leftist".
