TRUMP: "I'm not saying the military's in love with me. The soldiers are. The top people in the Pentagon probably aren't because they want to do nothing but fight wars so all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy" pic.twitter.com/YYEbjRuZyb

President Trump continues to kill it, on the warpath towards total domination in November.

The man just went out there and accused the military of being involved in a conspiracy with the arms dealers to engage in endless wars.

“I’m not saying the military’s in love with me. The soldiers are. The top people in the Pentagon probably aren’t because they want to do nothing but fight wars so all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy,” the president said during a Monday press briefing.

Of course, the news media lost their minds, and claimed that being against endless wars is “an attack on the military.”

After fighting a brutal war & then serving eight years as US President, here was Dwight Eisenhower's 1961 warning about the menacing joint power of the US military and the private arms industry. This was before Vietnam, the Reagan Cold War build-up and post-9/11 militarism: pic.twitter.com/IRl8ZTdpIo

Imagine that one of the biggest complaints the left has about Donald Trump is that he doesn’t start wars.

After many people on Twitter brought up President Eisenhower’s speech denouncing the military industrial complex, the pro-war CNN analyst Ryan Brown whined that it wasn’t what Trump said that he disagreed with – it was how he said it.

Some folks really ought to read what President Eisenhower actually said in his farewell address. While they are both critical of the military industrial complex, nowhere does Eisenhower actually accuse military leaders of engaging in shooting wars to boost profits for firms

“Well, I’m not disagreeing – I just don’t like his tone” is a statement that sums up so much of what is going on in this society.

Why would it possibly matter how the president talks? Why would any personality trait that the president has matter, in any way?

You might talk about the manner of speaking of someone who you invite to a dinner party. The president should be judged on his ability to be the president, and literally nothing else.

It is simply bizarre the way these media people come out and talk about his tone.

Jew rat Jennifer Rubin was out there talking about his tone.

so Trump insulted the military during a press conference to deny he insults the military.

Jews love war. They have always loved war. As a great man once said, “Jews are behind all the wars.”

They attack men of peace.

Trump’s statements against these endless war rats were absolutely epic and historical.

Remember: he’s the first president in four decades that didn’t start a war.

ROFLMAO – They actually used an NSM flag for the article header! Are they being ironic, or do they actually have no idea what’s going on???

The Jewish news site (((mic))) has a long article up about the echoes meme.

I recommend going and reading the whole thing. It’s a lulzfest.

These people are so confused.

Here’s a bit of it:

In the early days of the social web, putting someone’s name in multiple parentheses was meant to give that person a cute virtual hug. Today, it’s something far more sinister.

Neo-Nazis, anti-Semites and white nationalists have begun using three sets of parentheses encasing a Jewish surname — for instance, (((Fleishman))) — to identify and target Jews for harassment on blogs and major social media sites like Twitter. As one white supremacist tweeted, “It’s closed captioning for the Jew-blind.”

Jonathan Weisman, deputy Washington editor for the New York Times, wrote about his experience as a victim of this harassment in a May 26 story.

“Hello ((Weisman))” it began after Weisman tweeted a Washington Post article about Donald Trump titled “This Is How Fascism Comes to America.”

Weisman asked his harasser, @CyberTrump, to explain the symbol. “It’s a dog whistle, fool,” the user responded. “Belling the cat for my fellow goyim.”

With the parentheses, @CyberTrump had alerted an army of trolls. The attacks that followed were sudden and unremitting. “The anti-Semitic hate, much of it from self-identified Donald J. Trump supporters, hasn’t stopped since,” Weisman wrote.

The origins of the symbol ((())) can be traced to a hardcore, right-wing podcast called The Daily Shoah in 2014. It’s known as an “echo” in the anti-Semitic corners of the alt-right — a new, young, amorphous conservative movement that comprises trolls fluent in internet culture, free speech activists warring against political correctness and earnest white nationalists. Some use the symbol to mock Jews; others seek to expose supposed Jewish collusion in controlling media or politics. All use it to put a target on their heads.

To the public, the symbol is not easily searchable on most sites and social networks; search engines strip punctuation from results. This means that trolls committed to uncovering, labeling and harassing Jewish users can do so in relative obscurity: No one can search those threats to find who’s sending them.

Read the rest.

They call for a total shutdown of the meme.
