The original Fort Bragg was named for Gen. Braxton Bragg, a Confederate general.
Pete Hegseth has renamed the the base to honor U.S. Army paratrooper Roland L. Bragg to keep the name.
Was he too drunk to know the difference or is he using a technicality to hide his racism?

A drunk renaming a US military base after a foreign power who fought to kill the US military seems as bit traitorous, no?

Thanks to Sen. Mark Warner, for releasing Memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge.
-Memo is a clear abuse of power and weaponization of DOJ
-Memo bolsters FBI lawsuits filed today. VERY clear the list is for retaliatory purposes

The “humane alternative to genocide“ is autogenocide. It’s great that people are finally aware of Curtis Yarvin. It would be so much greater if they would start reading Heather Marsh who is the counter to the evil tech bro ideology. #BindingChaos
“Curtis Yarvin” is “a good friend of mine…” - DOGE advisor Marc Andreessen. (Under his pen name, Yarvin once proposed converting unproductive people into biodiesel. Yarvin said he was joking but that the joke helps “describe the problem” & that the “goal” is a “humane alternative to genocide.”) 1/
