No. He didn't.

Quote:Trump went to a gun shop that sold weapons to a Nazi who murdered a crowd. Trump was making a deniable but not particularly surreptitious statement that he supports Nazis. I think that is an excellent reason to vote for Trump in the Republican primary since he makes it wonderfully clear that his secret heart is with his people even if he cannot outright declare he supports Nazis. He is truly the most talented politician of all Presidential candidates from the GOP.

That's what Trump did.
Period. End of sentence.

Trump went to a gun shop but because he is charged with 91 felonies, he can't touch them. There's a smart photo opt.

I'm sure that somebody there bought him that piece with his face on it.
Maybe they'll give it to him on January 20th, 2025 when he's inaugurated.

Milley says the military doesn’t swear oath to a ‘wannabe dictator’ in apparent swipe at Trump
“We are unique among the world’s militaries,” Milley said. “We don’t take an oath to a country, we don’t take an oath to a tribe, we don’t take an oath to a religion. We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or a tyrant or a dictator.”
“And we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator,” he spat. “We take an oath to the Constitution and we take an oath to the idea that is America – and we’re willing to die to protect it.” But are you willing to kill the wannabe dictator? The wannabe dictator said that Milley should die for being a traitor. Milley should have made clear what he would do about the wannabe dictator. Alas, he did not.
“It is that document that all of us in uniform swear to protect and defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” Milley said, emphasizing the words “all” in “all enemies” and the “and” between “foreign and domestic.”

Arguments about the proper role of virtue in the public square or arguments over the proper balance between order and liberty, are helpless in the face of prophecies, like the declarations from Christian “apostles” that Donald Trump is God’s appointed leader, destined to save the nation from destruction. Sometimes there’s no need for a prophet to deliver the message. Instead, Christians will claim that the Holy Spirit spoke to them directly. As one longtime friend told me, “David, I was with you on opposing Trump until the Holy Spirit told me that God had appointed him to lead.”
Several weeks ago, I wrote about the “rage and joy” of MAGA America. Outsiders see the rage and hatred directed at them and miss that a key part of Trump’s appeal is the joy and fellowship that Trump supporters feel with each other. But there’s one last element that cements that bond with Trump: faith, including a burning sense of certainty that by supporting him, they are instruments of God’s divine plan.
For this reason, I’ve started answering questions about Christian nationalism by saying it’s not serious, but it’s very dangerous. It’s not a serious position to argue that this diverse, secularizing country will shed liberal democracy for Catholic or Protestant religious rule. But it’s exceedingly dangerous and destabilizing when millions of citizens believe that the fate of the church is bound up in the person they believe is the once and future president of the United States.
That’s why the Trump fever won’t break. That’s why even the most biblically based arguments against Trump fall on deaf ears. That’s why the very act of Christian opposition to Trump is often seen as a grave betrayal of Christ himself. In 2024, this nation will wrestle with Christian nationalism once again, but it won’t be the nationalism of ideas. It will be a nationalism rooted more in emotion and mysticism than theology. The fever may not break until the “prophecies” change, and that is a factor that is entirely out of our control.

And the march toward the Democratic Party being the mouthpiece of the US Military continues.
Somebody needs to write a book about how they fucked your heads up so bad.

Oh bullshit.
You wouldn't catch me within 500 feet of a church unless I'm being dragged out to one after somebody dies.
Democrats better fix everything they broke, because relying on "Biden isn't Trump" is a losing strategy for 2024.
And you dumb motherfuckers still talk about Trump 100 times more than Biden*'s name is ever brought up, going on 3 years into his failed Presidency*.

Quote:The Trumptards I know are a bunch of losers. Some go to Church and some don't, but they all feel a great need for a higher power, such as Trump, to intervene in their lives. The American government doesn't do that. Neither do most Churches, except for the Mormons and some Catholics. Vote for anybody, but the thing that will fix your life is you and the people you know. Certainly not God, and not the Federal government.
