What happend at Ft. Bragg makes me very sad for our country. Washington is rolling in his grave.



The crowd at Fort Bragg was told to Boo former President Joe Biden today

A man who held nothing but respect for the military

A man who lost his son who served honorably

And the piece of garbage, who they were told to cheer for today, is a draft-dodging, traitor who is now going to rename military bases after Confederate Generals

WTF is happening to our country?

I’m at the point that every time someone that I know of that supports this bullshit dies, I just say that it’s one less Trump voter. No other emotions.

Every tv is tuned to Fox or Newsmax.
They’ve been shoving “Christian nationalism” down recruits’ throats at every academy for decades.

The military is naturally fascistic and authoritarian.

If not, add that to the list of things the next Dem president has to do.

Trump praised Robert E. Lee.

Robert E. Lee deserves no accolades.

When the Southern army went north of the Mason-Dixon line, they engaged in slave hunts.

Did Lee as head of the commanding army put a stop to this practice? No.

Lee was given the chance to do the right thing by Lincoln; but he refused.

Lee might say he was a child of Virginia but in fact he only lived a few miles from Washington DC.

And Trump's idea that who follows him will not change the name is sure nonsense.

It will be changed again.

is what I called it a few times during his first term. I expected him then to make some movement toward restoring slavery, maybe expanding prison labor or worse. You know damn well the guy with a history of shafting his employees and others and who couldn't care less about other people would own and whip a hundred slaves into submission if he could. Maybe he and his gang will try to repeal the 13th Amendment. I just noticed one of the GQPers is questioning the existence of a minimum wage. Maybe that's where they'll start.
