Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Magas are desperately trying to avoid the trap. He has tattoos that could symbolize MS13. So if a symbol is undeniable proof, then Hegseth's Nazi symbol tattoos becomes undeniable proof.
But even if he had actual MS13 tattoos, it's still ridiculous. Kids get all sorts of tattoos to look cool. Is Trump going to depart all the white trash girls with Chinese character tattoos?
I think you're giving them too much credit. I doubt they've considered that, or would even care if they did.
The real, sadder, reason is that Trump fell for a doctored photo, and these people are too scared to tell him he's wrong.
Lets also not forget somebody was deported for an "MS-13" tattoo that was in fact an Autism awareness tattoo.
This is why they're pushing back against due process. They want to be able to make up shit and deport who they want.
They want? They are, is more like what you should say.
Even if he has MS13 tattoos and a real legit MS13 membership card, I don’t care - we [are supposed to] have “freedom of association” here, meaning that membership in an organization alone should not be a crime.
Lol no. You seem to think they care about hypocrisy when it's pointed out to them. They do not.
You're wasting your time.
Thank you, people always patting themselves on the back after pointing out the hypocrisy or dunking on them on Twitter.
This is a strange take. Just because they blatantly skirt (or take a big fat dump on) the law and ignore their own hypocrisy routinely certainly doesn't mean it's useless or stupid to continually point it out.
Pointing it out is useless to the MAGAts because one cannot shame people who have no sense of shame.
Could how? People saying this represents that is not reality. How is a skull 3. And experts say you know what MS 13 have tattooed MS 13.
Gang members dont want to give themselves away. So instead of throwing overt and specific signs, you have to look for covert gang signs such as the friendly wave, peace signs, or rock n roll 🤘
MS-13 does not use covert tattoos, they are VERY open about their membership tattoos because it signifies ownership of that person by the group.
I thought I was being blatantly sarcastic, but apparently not.
To be quite frank Im not aware of any gangs that dont have like 10 different distinct visual ways to identify themselves. Be it colors, tattoos, signs, etc.
Hiding gang affiliation is a bit of a “bitch move” I would think from a gangbanger perspective
this is bullshit tons of gangs have very blatant tattoos to identify themselves as gang members it's part of the culture of gang life and has been forever. MS-13 in particular shows off their exact name in the "ms- 13" symbol and you can Google this and see thousands of pictures of MS-13 members with those exact tattoos all over their faces in the next and everywhere else
W O O S H
Well, I chuckled when I reached the end of your comment. ...and then a bit more at that exchange over not getting it.
Then, woke my dog and spooked a cat with the snort-honk sound or whatever that was I just did, seeing a second one AND downvotes over folks not getting it. Even with you explaining it. Wowza.
I appreciate ya! I need these random smiles amongst the heavy news.
he does not have MS-13 tattoos this is a false narrative and a bad argument
He clearly has tattoos that could be interpreted as MS13. It's not a false narrative.
But that's not a crime.
What you just said could be interpreted as MS13.
See the absurdity yet?
Marijuana, Smile, 1. Skull is a stretch for the 3.
If it's absurd, then an iron cross tattoo doesn't mean white power either. So yeah it's interpreted. But it doesn't matter. So what if he had MS13 literally tattooed across his face? That's not a crime.
Is Trump going to depart all the white trash girls with Chinese character tattoos?
That could be later.
Absolutely not, they're white.
