That crowd of Ft Bragg soldiers behind the tRump MAGA-rally speechifying looked primed and ready to "go to war" for tRump, flag-waving and cheering his stupefying remarks. Not a good look...in fact downright frightening.

I was debating whether I needed to remark on it and decided the visual alone made the point. I'm taking this as confirmation that the visual was enough.

More than adequate, mate... point made!

The SS were similarly devoted to their Führer.

From UVA Larry Sabato, on Bluesky:

"Trump, at Fort Bragg, just had the soldiers behind him boo the news media, Biden, Newsom, Bass, and “men playing in women’s sports” while renaming Army bases back to great loyal Americans like Robert E. Lee. So now the nation’s soldiers are just props for an authoritarian president—a preview of the June 14 birthday parade to come."

This is where it's heading...whip up the military with MAGA shite, then turn them loose on the American public,

This is what comes of pumping years of Fox Noise into military bases, I reckon.

I've read elsewhere that the soldiers were hand-picked. Quelle surprise!

McLain's avatar

Yes. It was deeply depressing.

Agree Lance- made me sick and afraid

I would hope that the Smithsonian concludes after its review that nothing on display misrepresents American History. It would be nice if it also concludes that its exhibits regarding trump 1.0 (if any) don't include the WaPo list of his lies, and they thank him for letting it correct this oversight.

Doing this would be what we now can call "committing a Gavin Newsom"

Hotter than Hades in

Gitmo. I hope they're

prepared for all the

children they arrested

too. As for Elon, he

hasn't bowed low

enough, or kissed the

orange butt enough to

get back in good

standing. Thought I saw

major storms over DC on

the 14th. Hoping for lots

of lightning strikes in just

the perfect 🍊 place.

I'm an atheist but I'm on my knees praying that it literally rains on his parade.

My weather app is saying 80% chance of rain in DC on Saturday!

Master of Fabian tactics in courts as he is, it didn't take long for his regime to use ACB's administrative stay loophole to delay proceeds seemingly indefinitely. Those three judge labels are not as random as they appear to the public. Gitmo redux? God save us. Musk? (sigh). Can't wait for Trump's birthday day celebration.
