The U.S. Government Is Copying the Nazis on Purpose
Trump kept Hitler's speeches by his bed in 1990. His government posts neo-Nazi slogans; his vice president tells a Black Senate nominee to "get the hell out."

I would say that we passed 1933 back in 2015. We’re now at the 1938/9 stage of Nazism. Trump is already in the process of destroying the professional officer class that is loyal to their constitutional oath and not to him. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/o...

In 1938, Hitler dismissed most generals in German army and installed Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel as head. This gave Hitler total control of the military as Keitel was a weak leader. He was executed by the Allies after the war for war crimes. — Just putting this historical fact up for no reason.

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

The Roberts court just ruled that trump’s junta can send immigrants to countries other than their own, ones where the chance they will be killed is fairly high. Welcome to medieval United States. I’m sure they would have sent freed enslaved people back to their masters.

Holy sh*t. Sen Schmitt just accused Jack Smith of going to an Atlanta Hawks bball game with the implication that he must of also met with then prosecutor Fani Willis BUT Smith went to an Iowa HAWKEYES game in Maryland instead. This GOP clown show is a disgrace.
