You know what, I'm starting to think you guys really should start building that wall around you.
Very dangerous and the US military will soon resemble the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, because of their insanity towards religion. God is not the the MAGATs.
Yeah, the news-media is salivating on all the clicks it's receiving right now.
Almost if it's benefiting them that Trump was elected. Hmm.
Couldn't possibly be gaslighting the country about a mentally incapacitated incumbent until 2 months from the election
No one should be surprised, this book was written 12 years ago:
"Irregular Army: How the US Military Recruited Neo-Nazis, Gang Members, and Criminals to Fight the War on Terror"
I found the documentary "Bad Faith" to be quite enlightening. Highly recommend it:

Edit: For understanding more of the context of white christian nationalism, white supremacy, etc
That makes sense. There's a reason that the 3 European counties who actaully choose fascism were the 3 most Christian: Germany Italy and Spain. No true Scotsman argument withstanding, well over 90% of people in nazi Germany were Christian, for example.
Its not all Christians of course and I don't have any problem with the vast, vast majority of them but there are parts of the bible that can and have been very deliberately bastardised by people for centuries and others just read literally in a way that can be formed into something really horrible. I might not believe in God but I do agree with Christians when they say the Bible is a powerful book. However, like all powerful things, it can be and is being misused, per the book itself.
One of the central points of the documentary is that Christian Nationalism isn't about Christianity. It's in direct violation of many of the central tenants of Christianity... not that that's stopped Christians before. But it's the perfect vessel to encapsulate a white supremacist power play.
I had to check if this was a bad freeze frame or what and nope she fires that hand out straight as a goddamn arrow and leaves it like that. She wasn’t caught mid-wave, just straight up doing the ol’ nazi salute.
It’s wild that these people are using the same imagery as the nazis. You’d think that they’d have their own brand as most people aren’t knowingly the bad guys and the ones that are are generally smarter than that but they just can’t fuckin’ help larp as the poster children for worst thing the modern world has dealt with(though more recent times are making it look kinda normal).
This is what USA actually is.
Trump simply gave them permission to remove their masks. America is, and always has been, and always will be, a racist country founded on racist principles.
Miller and this guy. Two confirmed Nazis... this is going to end up great. /s
Trump, picking a Fox news host to run the military
"How could this be any worse?"
That motherfucker: takes off shirt
Narrator: "It got worse."
Wait until he opens his mouth and starts talking
Wait until he uses the military to do something even more nefarious than what they usually do around the world
"Trump Accountability War Room". Because suddenly presidential accountability is VERY important.
.....wait, what?
Also, using the term "war room" for everything. Peak USA.
what’s the point of a room if you can’t have a war in it
The entire cabinet is something from a comic book. These guys are all cartoonishly evil.
It literally seems like he's just picking a mix of Republicans who are most notorious on social media and people who would make Putin the most happy, so you're not wrong but I don't think it's the actual criterion he's using.
my theory is that this is all one big power move from trump, to show people what he can get away with. i don’t think he cares that much about the individual people he’s nominating, he more so cares about showing people that he can pick literally anyone he wants and no one will stop him.
Reminds me of Putin and his buddy Dmitry Utkin, initial founder of the Wagner mercenary group with multiple tattoos that show the symbol of the Waffen-SS, as well as other Nazi symbols.
I'm a gun nut. I have an AR-15 and love it. Finest multi-purpose rifle on Earth.
Forget the rest of the tats. Having a tattoo of an AR-15 is so goddamned toxic I want to puke. FWIW, I'd punch him for the Iron Cross tats before I noticed the others.
When does Russia invade to de-nazify the US?
(They already have, comrade. And your citizens voted it in)
Here's another question:
If Russia launched a nuke at the US, would puppet trump use the launch codes?
Maybe he's just representing the Ukrainian azov unit.
People shouldn’t fear governments. Governments should fear their people.
If this person gets clearance and is not open about the hate group ties, that can be grounds for prosecution. The big question will be whether or not anyone cares.
Well the attorney general is going to be a pedophile so I doubt we'll see any prosecution on this.
