I admit I only know the highlights. It would make sense for Hegseth to focus on appearances over substance.

I mean, insofar as Hegseth has internalized the culture war and can't stop being a fox news host long enough to do his job. I think priming the Military to eventually use it against the American population was the main purpose of this gathering.

Oh, whoops. I see people realizing their mistake most quickly with black people; black panthers and other community defense groups in black neighborhoods have been making a come back. Pray more people get on the band wagon. And if you can't legally own guns, there are alternatives. Crossbows, compound bows, muzzle loaders. Being armed in some way is the best way to keep your communities safe from outside violence.

Pretty much everyone already understands that but it's good to see politicians say it out loud for a change.

I'll never stop being disgusted by Stephen Miller. And somehow he actually looks like the Villain he is. Like does the fucker stare in the mirror each morning and practice his bad guy face?

At any point in the past, most people would criticize "running from the police" but now it's the most socially acceptable it's ever been to cheer someone on.
