Yes, they’re Nazis. And they’re doing whatever they can to make Charlie Kirk’s murder their Reichstag Fire.

Josh Kovensky @joshkovensky.bsky.social · 20h

NSPM-7 watch: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said yesterday that Charlie Kirk's death was a "domestic 9/11" and that he's undertaking a commensurate response at home. Treasury is "compiling lists" and looking at funding streams, he said.

100% this. If you’re anti-MAGA, embrace other anti-MAGAs. Purity tests & gatekeepers rejecting those you deem insufficiently aligned with your values only help Trump win. We’re in dark times and any resistance is good resistance. You can go back to debating individual policies AFTER we win.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Reminder that during Vietnam, Trump paid a doctor to write up a phony diagnosis of bone spurs in order to dodge being drafted into service.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 10d

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

Good time to remember that if it hadn't been for a tiny sliver of credulous dumbasses who inexplicably believed his obvious lies on the campaign trail, Donald Trump would most likely be in an orange jumpsuit right now.

How does he feel about fat commanders-in-chief?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 16d

Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."
