      I know you’re joking, but I still struggle to see how that makes things better? We have evidence that the Romans also committed genocide.

        The nazis modeled a lot of their Reich on the Roman state (the eagle iconography was used by both). The Roman salute was just something else they took from their idea of the Roman empire

        So I’m with you, I have no idea how “it’s a roman salute” is supposed to make anything better

    At first I thought it was blown out of proportion, too. After watching the video, I can only say that if he did that in Germany, he would have been arrested on stage. Let’s see what topic-relatedly, profoundly knowledgeable Benito Mussolini, allegedly, had to say:

    “Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.”

    Ah, ok, thanks Benito! Enjoy your fascism that you voted for, America. I hope those egg prices will go down (they won’t).

      They might, since deregulation is another of Trump’s plans. Then the producers can save money by not bothering to keep dangerous substances out of the food, or the water, or the air… and pass those “savings” on to the consumers.

        and pass those “savings” on to the consumers.

        More likely that they pocket those savings for extra profit and the prices stay the same.
