the Nazi government that American soldiers were fighting 80 years ago."
TRUTH!
Giggle. I take your tongue-in-cheekiness, @Mark.
"...Must be commies."
From HCR, via @davidmoran:
"...Third, fascists would insist that “the world has but two choices—either fascism or communism, and they label as ‘communists’ everyone who refus…
"...Americans should not be fooled into thinking that fascism could not come to America..." Um, yup. We are witnessing the realization of every aspect which that booklet describes. You think uncle Pete Hegseth would let anyone in uniform go anywher…

The ICE Criminals have carte blanche, just like the Orange Behemoth Felon. "Katy bar the door." The criminal Feds will block State and local officials in the investigation... AGAIN. Bet me?
"Never say never." I have every confidence that the Repugnant Party will quickly manage to make their spines just vanish when the convenient pretext is provided by Der Fuhrer.
You got that right.
Let's say the seditious Repugnants get voted out in November; how much ya wanna bet they will find some pretext to challenge the result? And because (until Jan, '27) they control the levers of gummint, they can use procedural me…
