3. Trump on the cross necklace

I can see the infomercials already.

[OMGWTF]

11. Sure, why not? The Anti-Christ is already selling signed Buybulls.

[calimary]

124. I would not want a Bible that's been defaced like that.

Seems kinda sacrilegious to me.

[Mr. Evil]

95. The only thing that wearing that says,

is that Brendan Carr would literally blow Krasnov TSF in public. That thing is beyond sick.

[johnnyfins]

4. WTF is so wrong with people that they want

A dictator in charge? I just can't understand the mindset.

[Cha]

55. It's a Cult. Can you please tell me what it is...

I can't make it out.. just a gold piece of glob.

And, why would they wear American Flags.. they're Traitors and bow to Mump & Putin.

[Mister Ed]

81. I zoomed in and found it's a likeness of Trump, in silhouette. n/t

[Cha]

88. TY.. omg... I saw a post later in this

thread that looked like the Fools gold thing blown up and it was the Dic himself.

Well at least they're Full Traitors to America.. May it BLOW UP in their Collective Cult face SOONER than later.

[Progressive dog]

111. I thought it was a gold chimpanzee

until i blew it up and realized it was a chimpanzee brained human.

[Cha]

112. lol chimpanzees are Exponentially Smarter.

duh further needs to get himself painted gold so there will be no doubt what he's trying to say. lol

[GulfofMexico]

5. Kinda like what a cult would do, dontcha think?

[jmowreader]

58. No, just gold plated

A few grams of gold goes a very long way in a plating tank.

[Cha]

59. Bingo Fools Gold!

TY.

[electricmonk]

104. Even if it's real gold

Once it's shaped into that and someone wears it it turns into fool's gold.
If I actually saw someone wearing that in public I'd laugh so hard I'd have a stroke.

[Cha]

107. Exactly what I meant.. not literally. It's a Damn Fool

wearing it.

TY

[Ocelot II]

7. Trump probably hands those things out to his minions and expects them to wear them.

And if they don't, he'll want to know why...

[stillcool]

36. at no cost?

maybe he's building the brand.

[onethatcares]

96. oh hell no

he never does anything that doesn't pad his bottom line.

[chowder66]

35. Someone should tape a little piece of gauze to his ear.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

44. They would have to remake the pin so it would show his right ear.

Watch and see which Rethug Congress members start wearing this.

[chowder66]

48. As if anyone would remember which ear.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

57. ZING!

Kinda like TSF’s “bone spurs”.He can’t even remember which foot was affected.

[chowder66]

66. Double Zing! lol

[AdamThePhantump]

92. Triple Zing!

[steelyboo]

46. Thanks, very helpful. I was wondering why they would wear a lapel pin of a golden rotting cantaloupe.

[Codifer]

47. I can't remember

ever having seen a turd of that shape.

But it is so very obviously a turd.

[lastlib]

70. I've seen cow pies that look exactly like that!

sans the gold, of course.

[dchill]

77. Yep. It's a miraculous cowpie!

[Tadpole Raisin]

12. Please help me come with a description for this that we can

call it and drive them crazy.

I was thinking ‘why are you wearing a pin that looks like yellow bile cat vomit?

Any other ideas besides cat vomit lapel pin?

[littlemissmartypants]

22. That's what he looks like...

After combing his bowel movements over his head in three directions.

[CrispyQ]

33. Why are you wearing a golden calf pin?

Nothing says party over country like ditching your American flag pin.

[WestMichRad]

98. Golden calf pin!

How appropriate!

[AKwannabe]

[sakabatou]

16. So, they're going for the Dump-is-God look.

[Irish_Dem]

40. Yes I guess Trump is supposed to be the second coming of Christ.

I guess this is how Satan decided to return.

[Cha]

63. Fools Gold "king" god.

[ms liberty]

17. But they're not in a cult. No siree. n/t

[Scrivener7]

18. They'll insist they're patriots while they prove themselves the opposite by wearing that.

If they weren't wrecking my Democracy, I'd pity them.

[Ping Tung]

19. The designer of it must be trhe same one who designed the almost as ugly Musk Cybertruck.

Just like the loser in the White House.

[CrispyQ]

27. How long before he wants the field of stars on the American flag replaced with his golden profile? -nt

[Irish_Dem]

37. Don't laugh, Trump is probably scheming as we speak.

His face and name everywhere.

[Bettie]

99. And the red stripes

will have to have his name embossed in gold on each one.

[Bumbles]

28. That is disgusting! On several levels.

[Basso8vb]

29. We'll be better able to identify the nazi scumbags to round up when this shit is finally over.

[Irish_Dem]

30. Beware of golden idols.

[Celerity]

71. indeed

[struggle4progress]

34. Play the new party game: "Pin the ass on the lapel"!

[Ocelot II]

42. "Pin the ass on the ass" would be more accurate.

[struggle4progress]

51. +

[Old Crow]

38. Are they effin' kidding?!

I have a link for a similar piece of political memorabilia:

https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/irn34882

[sinkingfeeling]

41. Makes sense since the United States means nothing to them. Just their fake god.

[Iggo]

52. It never did. They've been fake the whole time.

The flag pin was just to trick the dopes.

[Cha]

65. Exactly! They are NOT Patriots.. We

Represent the American Flag.

[Hekate]

43. Is there an appropriate Soviet Union song we could hum when we see one of those?

Someone must know of one…

Resist!

[thought crime]

67. "Bella Ciao"

Not specifically Soviet but the Red Army Choir did a good version. (so did Money Heist)

[Figarosmom]

45. Wow

DEAR LEADER INDEED.

Watch him try to make everyone wear one or be deemed a traitor. He does throw that word around very easily.

[malaise]

49. AYFS?

[Nigrum Cattus]

50. 100% UnAmerican

Real Americans live under the constitution, not a person.

[taxi]

53. Is that a silk purse?

It is becoming more and more difficult to find any meaning in their gimmicks.

[Maeve]

76. More like a sow's rear!

[taxi]

105. The perfect answer!

[Maeve]

54. So we know where their loayalties lie and it ain't with the Constitution or the USA

[dalton99a]

61. +1

[xuplate]

56. If only it was a joke

What’s next, Trump labeled bottles of Kool-aid so you can slowly poison yourself over the corse of the next 4 years and be buried in the back of a Tesla Cybertruck? Is there no debasement that will satisfy this fetish for Trump?

[Shipwack]

78. Are we sure it isn't? nt

[Grim Chieftain]

84. That's what I'm wondering

Surely this isn't real. I keep scrolling for the laughing emoji.

[whopis01]

60. It is one of the more honest things I have seen from them

They are blatantly (and truthfully) telling everyone that their loyalty is to Trump and not to America.

[LoCo Cat Lady]

62. Gross

[LiberalArkie]

64. So they finally admit their allegiance to Trump, not to the U.S.A.

[LiberalArkie]

68. And.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

72. Meanwhile...

FCC commissioner Anna M. Gomez warned broadcasters of her grave concerns over what she sees as a "disturbing" pattern of efforts by the Trump administration to impose politically motivated controls over news media outlets.

"My alarm over what we are seeing today is so high right now that I will not stop speaking out because I have to. I cannot allow this to continue without raising alarm bells. And I really hope I'm not alone in doing that," Gomez said in a moderated conversation with Wall Street Journal reporter Joe Flint and Q&A with conference delegates.

........

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr was appointed by President Trump and assumed the role in January. Gomez, who will soon be the only Democrat on the commission as Geoffrey Stark has announced that he will step down this spring, was the only commissioner to attend the convention, something the NAB attributed to federal employee travel suspensions. "I felt it was important enough for me to come to meet with broadcasters and to speak, and so I self funded," Gomez responded when asked about her participation, receiving applause.

[Skittles]

82. makes more sense

the greedy old pig party ALWAYS puts Trump above country

[eppur_se_muova]

83. It's convenient. Any time you need to pick your nose, you've got something to wipe it on.

Also useful for picking ass boils, which is kind of ironic.

[tulipsandroses]

86. I like it. At least it tells us where their allegiance lies. No more cosplaying being a patriot.

They worship at the altar of their orange god.

[Joinfortmill]
