I call them all "Christian Barbie" since they're interchangeable in appearance and lack of brain.

Will (sadly) most likely be what the first female president looks like. For the GOP of course.

They are Christian in name only. There is absolutely NOTHING Christian about them if we’re following Christ’s teachings.

If Jesus showed up in the States tomorrow, MAGA Christians would have him back on the cross by sundown.

Trump fired Gen CQ Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Ah no, that Trump he ain’t racist.

Shopify, the e-commerce platform, has laid off its social impacts team and removed information about Black and Indigenous people from its site. Major partners who supported those programs have been ghosted.

The hits keep on coming.

Yeah my company is based in the US and has wiped its diversity initiatives as well as revoked access to our social media up here.

I'm saddened and disturbed by how restrictive everything is under this regime in what's supposed to be the "land of the free".

They became everything they insinuated the Dems were and worse.

Brown was confirmed just last year, I think, at a vote of 83 for 11 against.
So, obviously very unpopular, or maybe just a black person.

I know it was fake. Just wanted to get some laughs into this thread

No youre a realist and trump is a racist.
Also trump probably didnt like that Brown would likely not follow illegal orders and would uphold his oath to the constitution.

Who doesn’t think Trump is racist.

Anthony Brian Logan, The Officer Tatum, The Conservative Twins, Black Tea News, Modern Renaissance Man.

I don’t have the stomach to check in with what they’re saying now, but I’m sure it hasn’t changed.

I’m on my phone so I can’t post a gif, but imagine Peter Griffin going “I don’t know who any of those people are.”

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us.
Just a stranger on a bus
Tryna make his way home.

We’d have him executed. It’s right there in the book.

So Trump’s KGB code name is Krasnov? Interesting if that ex KGB spy’s claim is true.

I figured, but the world we live in. I had to check, sadly.

Isn’t it funny how the same people who love to peg MAGA supporters as bigots and misogynists have no problem throwing around judgments like this without a second thought? Funny how that works when they can’t hold themselves to the same standard. Hypocrisy at its finest.

I mean, yeah, that’s what he’s calling her. You sure took the longest way to that point and stumbled every step of the way until you fell backwards into it, but by god you got there.

President Trump tonight began a purge of the senior ranks of the United States armed forces in an apparent effort to intimidate the military and create an officer corps personally loyal to him. The president fired General C.Q. Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a remarkable move but also one that Trump and his MAGA allies signaled was coming.

Quote:

Trump and Hegseth have announced their intentions to fire several other senior officers—and perhaps even most ominously, including the head lawyers of each of the services. Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government. None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple.

This, uh, kinda feels like the point of no return.

That’s about the size of it. Criticism for some is off-limits, but for others, it’s open season. Funny how that works.
