... Martin succeeds Jaime Harrison of South Carolina atop the Democratic National Committee. Harrison did not seek another term after the 2024 election when Trump became the first Republican to win the popular vote in two decades and made modest gains with core Democratic constituencies -- African Americans, Latinos and working-class voters, among them.

"We got punched in the mouth in November," Martin, 51, said Saturday. "It's time to get off the mat, dust ourselves off and get back in this fight."

He is now one of the most important players in the Democratic Party's comeback attempt as Trump pushes the limits of presidential power.

The vote played out in suburban Washington as more than 400 DNC members from every state and U.S. territory gathered for the party's winter meeting. ...

@#2 ... Americans may find themselves paying the costs. ...

As I noted the last time your current alias tried for that false equivalency ...

A single still image is not the salute. Indeed, that image is not even the correct extended arm position.

In Mr Musk's case, the video showed him moving his hand from his heart to the extended position.

But, a nice try.

A Nazi salute can be whatever you want it to be these days Lamp. Just ask the hen house of bloviating democrats you keep company with.

Luftwaffles,

Please explain. Your claim is ridiculous. Stop repeating what you hear and educate yourself. What exactly was that supposed to prove? When your point is based entirely on an assumption, you didn't have a point to begin with. In order to make your point, you had to make something up completely. See the problem? Anything else that you would like to make up? The rest of your post was just mindless. I think you have only shown that you assume too much.
Do you ever actually understand what you are commenting on or does stupidity just take hold? Does anyone really understand what this person is babbling about?

Honest on my part, or quite lame on the #4 poster's part?
