Why don't you two bozos go and whine at Gen. Milley and Gen. Kelly? Or just shut the fuck up.
And if you don't like your fascist nominee getting called a fascist, stop nominating fascists.
Anyways, doesn't he LIKE getting shot at? He's making bank selling T-SHIRTs about getting shot at, right? He's peddling GOLD WATCHES about getting shot at.

The LDF recently released the most in-depth legal analysis of Project 2025โs impact on Black communities. It highlights how Black Americans would be harmed due to policies that would weaken anti-discrimination laws; dismantle the Department of Education; threaten Black political power; increase the use of the death penalty; and exacerbate health disparities caused by environmental racism.

ยซWestern countries are so far removed from fascism, coddled by modern society's comforts, and lucky enough to have avoided war on their soil, that the populations therein have legitimately forgotten what it's like to live in a world without democracy. Taking it for granted. We forget that the ease with which we move through life is dependent upon complicated governmental/cultural/social/economic systems, which people before us spent entire generations developing so that we may bear their fruit.ยป
