“We don’t have a military full of Nordic pagans.”

It’s hard to miss the comparison to the events in the thirties and forties especially with the White Supremacist’s currently in power openly endorsing and embracing the symbology of the time.
I guess when Americans said never again they meant never again in another land but perfectly fantastic in the homeland, amirite?
The one thing which brings me hope.. well, they are more than one thing as they are a force to be reckoned with are the youth of today. They are organized, savvy in ways I’m astounded to discover all the time, and wise, almost as if they’ve fought this fight before.
Based on my observations I’ve learned so much from them, mostly to get out of their way as they have a job to do so chop chop, get to it. As an old one who can’t move all that fast I’m quite content to sit on the side until there is something I can do to contribute. Thus far it’s been cheering their accomplishments, efforts that are appreciated, so there is that. I am very good at what I do.
Added note: had to check my sources but he said it, he really said it.
What? Who said what?
Trump really said he wanted to use blue cities as training sites for the military.
And it’s been crickets from traditional media. I looked. Not the biggest story of the day.
We are in uncharted territory. Again, I have hope. Not a lot but it’s enough.
With this government shut down affecting all our service people we all need to pray to Jesus now. That painting and beards should be the LEAST of our concerns.
What will “praying to Jesus”, or any other deity, do to help this situation? What you need to be doing is yelling at your congressmen and congresswomen, especially the Republican ones since they control both houses of Congress, to do their jobs and pass a reasonable budget.
Also, the incompetence and and fascism of this administration should be everyone’s concern since they are looking to dismantle the US government and the US Constitution.
Let’s see, seems like the U.S. military, in Iraq and Afghanistan, got its ass kicked by men wearing dresses, beards, and sandals.
So, Petey Hogsbreath focusing on beards? Yeah, I’m sure that’ll improve readiness.
Prayer? I take your Lord and Savior with me everywhere I go:
“I don’t care if it rains or freezes,
long as I got my plastic Jesus,
riding on the dash board of my car!
Don’t you stare bend yer head in prayer
Hegseth leads troops, I don’t care
you all got just what you voted for.
When they fuck you over, it’s your choice,
don’t be sad don’t raise your voice,
be just like talking to a fucking door.
Cost of living on the rise,
without healthcare MAGA dies,
but y’all done ‘lected you a bunch of flies.
They’ll swarm your house, they’ll swarm your car,
Thoughts and prayers won’t get you far,
They’ll take every right that you thought you had.
Martial law an imposition,
upon your challenged heart condition,
take your meds don’t worry about the price.
Rob the people, treasury money,
this shit now just aint that funny,
not exactly what I voted for.
Don’t despair get yer self a chair, sit there in your underwear, talking to your favorite kitchen door.
Going bald, losing hair,
just remember you still got prayer.
When all seems lost remember that they don’t care.
Pray real hard with your slippers on,
keep telling yerself that MAGA won,
all that matters is them eating liberal stew.
Shed some tears in the land of empty,
be a man don’t be so wimpy,
You got what you wanted, it was up to you.
I don’t care if it rains or freezes, long as I got my plastic Jesus, riding on the dashboard of my car!”
Good luck MAGATs. You ain’t never seen no wreck like you ‘bout to get into! :-)
Donnie Boy got you on the MAGAT express. A carbon fiber submersible, “look, I can see the titanic!”
