Whiskey Pete, seen here with the Kash Patel virus, is such a beardo. Military leaders ignore his hygiene rule because, historically, he's looked like he's slept in an alley, lost fist-fights to raccoons over spilled liquor, blamed DEI, then texted one of the raccoons his battle plan. An A+ Fuckwit.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Many of the phrases, images, and attached media used by the Trump administration aren’t just regular social media content. They repurpose language, symbolism, and cultural references with direct connections to neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements.

Canada, Greenland ....... It's nothing less than MAGA's 21st century version of LEBENSRAUM. The chess pieces continue to be played towards an authoritarian regime. Let's not appease, as was done with Hitler in the 1930. LET'S NOT LET HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF. #fucktrump
