    I’d like to see some journalist pretending that they don’t understand and ask something like: “excuse me, why do you keep talking about armies of maggots”?

    Now here’s a series of words I never thought I’d be typing/reading:

    This alcoholic, model-for-non-self care, amoral, greedy, lying, cheating, sack of shit gives other alcoholic, model-for-non-self care, amoral, greedy, lying, cheating, sacks of shit a bad name.

    And he co-exists in the world of trump, boebert, mcconnell and jones.

    Judging by the number of people who showed up at the Stormy Daniels trial the army is pretty understrength.

    I won’t say they are not dangerous but I think there’s like a couple thousand of them that are actually ready to go to war at this stage, which if it doesn’t grow, is nowhere near enough

      There are certainly more than that ready to go to war. But they’re also smart enough not to out themselves for some petty stuff like this or the Trump trial. They’ll stay hidden until the time is right to try something serious. Don’t underestimate how many right-wing Americans are out there ready for violence.

        Yep yep. For a time had a job that handled new and old pistol permits and amendments. In the months before 1/6 people were filing amendments for gun modifications and were giving the serial numbers as political slogans.(I live in a blue state.) Never once going back a hundred years of records had seen that done before. Oh boy are they out there.

    If they are an ‘army’ then when. This comes to a head around the election, I sincerely hope that every last one of them is shot dead. Fascist pigs deserve nothing less.

    This fuggin’ guy is more delusional than Trump. He’s like cosplaying some sort of military figure, but is too much of a pussy to own up to the shit he’s done. He’s just saying it out loud now because he truly believes when he gets out of jail, he’ll be in a position where he cannot be touched. That will not be the case lol.

      And I think the thing he doesn’t understand is that, if he ever actually achieves his goal of implementing a fascist totalitarian state, guys like him are the first to get liquidated by the regime. He thinks he’s going to be a duke or something, but he’ll be tossed aside like trash.

        So much this. I’m sure he thinks he is some kind of student of history and playing nine dimensional chess, but this is the basic stuff - people like him almost always end up against the wall, killed by people much like him.

        Yeah, totalitarian states aren’t really fun for anybody in the end. It just devolves into a paranoid scheme and murder web for survival.
