    Having a US senator that was an Abu Ghraib (the US torture camp in Iraq) prison guard, seems incredibly on brand.

    I had not heard of the totemkof before this or knew that it was a Nazi symbol I think it’s totally possible that he just thought the skull was cool. Like honestly as an American we are really dumb and uneducated as can be seen here since most people don’t know what that is.

      There are witnesses to him jokingly referring to it as his ‘totenkopf’ like 8 years ago when he worked at a bar. Anyone interested in military history should probably be aware of it as well.

        Yeah I can believe being a stupid drunk soldier getting a skull tattoo not knowing what it was. But then not making the first possible appointment to cover the fucking Nazi symbol as soon as you realized this? Nah. I hate this shit.

      if that’s the case, and it was an honest mistake. which is plausible. that means that as soon as I find out what it means, I will get a coverup or have it removed.

      keeping it is a massive red flag. I’m not a nazi, but I’m ok with having Nazi signs on my own skin? yhea, that’s bullshit

      I mean there’s people even getting Chinese symbols and they don’t know WTF it means 80% of the time. I can believe it but I also feel that some of his story is kind fishy. You know.

      Well they did lose on the battlefield eventually, mostly thanks to the USSR.
