I'm sorta snickering at the name, Mariannette. A perfect marionette.

This admin is full of children with unregulated emotions who just want to play with the military toys and kill with impunity. Kristi Noem was angry one day so she shot a penned goat. This is who they are.

Because it is nuts. Once you're old enough or educated enough to understand your tattoo, you cover it over or have it removed! I mean, the swastika was once only a Nordic rune but it means only one thing now.

I fear what will come in about three years with this kind of stupidity.

God knows anyone can do something idiotic when we're young and dumb; however, not removing that thing once he was a grown-up person and knew the origins of the tattoo, is deeply troubling. He seems problematic in several ways.

As a lilly-white person with many White friends, I know none who have Nazi tattoos. I may be a little closer to the generation who fought the war against them - my daddy was a WWII Veteran - so we tend to remember and recoil from Nazism.

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

He probably thinks he's on a mission from God, so any odious thing in service of that is a-ok by him. 🙄

Some people never learn to say they made a mistake or screwed up. Admitting fault was a sign of weakness in my natal family. Yet, learning to admit fault and seek forgiveness or fix one's error is one of the strongest qualities a human can possess. I wish more people got that lesson.

I hate the trope of Black people not tipping. That was not my experience waiting tables. They are as cheap or generous as one's service dictates. So when I hear that I always ask, How was the service? 🤔
And Nazi tattoos are a deal breaker every time!

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."
