Is this why Dope & Marco are so devoted to Trump/MAGA?..
"Trump's U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols."
"The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably
linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 U.S. troops who died fighting against in World War II,
as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month.
Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as potentially divisive under its new guidelines."
What if anything does America stand for today?

Banksy,
Wasn't "Quaran" a kid's breakfast cereal from the 60's?
There were three of them: Quisp, Quake, and Quaran, as I remember.
Quisp's mascot was a cute alien. Quake's mascot was a big strong guy. Quaran's mascot was a knife-wielding terrorist wearing a dynamite vest.
So, they had to pull this line of cereals from the shelves after not too long due to product defects:
When you opened a box of Quisp, it was so darn sugary you would get a cloud of sugar in your face.
When you opened a box of Quake, it was even more sugary than Quisp,and would give you immediate diabetes just from looking at it.
When you opened a box of Quran, it would blow up in your face like a Hezbollah pager.

So the coast guard is just following the lead of the Democrat party now? You know, the party who endorsed that Democrat Maine Senate candidate with unfortunate taste in tattoos?
I agree that if the coast guard is copying the Dem party it's probably an error of judgment.

Coast Guard denies report it won’t classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
by Filip Timotija - 11/20/25 3:23 PM ET
The Post reported the branch, part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), will classify swastikas, widely recognized as a symbol of the German Nazi Party and linked to the killing of millions of Jews, as “potentially divisive,” along with the Confederate flag and nooses, citing documents it obtained.
“The following is a non-exhaustive list of symbols whose display, presentation, creation, or depiction would constitute a potential hate incident: a noose, a swastika, supremacist symbols, Confederate symbols or flags, and antiSemitic symbols, among many others,” the Coast Guard said in the guidance.
“The display of these type symbols constitutes a potential hate incident because hate based groups have co-opted them as symbols of supremacy, racial intolerance, religious intolerance, or other bias,” the service said. ”Symbols can be presented as images, on any type of material or clothing, as words or numbers, and, in any combination.” https://thehill.com/homenews/5615799-coast-guard-d...

I did not see the fine print... the display of those symbols is gonna be called 'potentially divisive' instead of 'hate symbols.'

Fascists quickly change policy after being called out...
"The U.S. Coast Guard has released a new, policy addressing the display of hate symbols like swastikas and nooses just hours
after it was publicly revealed that it made plans to describe them as potentially divisive — a term that prompted outcry from lawmakers and advocates."
"The late-night change came on the same day that media outlets, led by The Washington Post, discovered that the Coast Guard had written a policy earlier this month that called those same symbols
“potentially divisive.” The term was a shift from a years-long policy, that said symbols like swastikas and nooses were “widely identified with oppression or hatred”
and called their display “a potential hate incident."
"The latest policy that was rolled out Thursday night also unequivocally banned the display of any divisive or hate symbols from all Coast Guard locations. The earlier version stopped short of banning the symbols, instead saying that commanders could take steps to remove them from public view and that the rule did not apply to private spaces outside of public view, such as family housing.

Fantastic, so you can display as swastika inside your garage. The neighbors can see, but only a little glance of it. That will be divisive.
In other news, China was practicing tactics to invade Taiwan, and is using the cargo ships with ramps to carry heavy vehicles and offload them quickly. The tactics of overwhelming Taiwan's defenses haven't changed, Well, we need Taiwan to build the factory, get it going, before any invasion. I give it a 10% chance, polymarket is 14%.

Good for WaPo. Perhaps she might still have a future A.B. (After Bezos), assuming there is one.
Still, the incident reminds us of why independent media is important and needed in a functioning democracy.

A little more digging confirmed my belief that the change in verbiage did not originate in USCG offices. Trump had to TACO.
"The Coast Guard initially said that it updated its harassment policy in alignment with orders from President Donald Trump and the Pentagon.
The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital on the matter. However, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth instructed the Pentagon to conduct a review of its hazing and harassment policies..."
It had the stench of DiaperDon and Kegbreath all over it.
