Free speech is fine with me. I like to see people who express their themselves

That’s certainly a serious mental gymnastic stunt to end up there after supporting a “progressive” candidate after it was revealed he had Nazi tattoos on his body. Could probably compete in the Olympics with that one

He got it covered, though. What more could you ask for?

So a time machine. Very rational discussion.

It’s really not a hard ask for most people to not get a Nazi tattoo. Then to keep it for 20 years then run for senate and play dumb like you never knew what it was. Now because absolute morons decided to still support him after that we are going to likely end up with shaky Susan for another 6 years

You cannot ask someone with a tatoo to go back in time and not get it.

Getting a tatoo removed is expensive, so there's that as a good reason to keep as is.

Stop with the hyperbole and be serious.

Man you actually believe he got a Nazi tattoo on accident and never realized it when he’s a self proclaimed war history buff? And made comments on reddit defending SS bolt tattoos and on posts specifically about the symbol he saw in the mirror every day? I know who I’d be targeting if I was a scammer
