Personally none of the things this article says surprise me. But unfortunately, the author doesn't seem to provide any sources for Trumps statements, only the denials of those statements. Idk if people are just scared and want to remain anonymous or what but it loses integrity when people refuse to identify themselves or rather when A reporters article doesn't have sources like this.

Better than someone losing their life for not remaining anonymous IMO.

Wow, tankies may actually drop the mask and openly support their orange hero

I don't like those losers. I like the generals who knew where to put the suitcase.

There was no evidence of election irregeluarities in 2020, and Trump's "deny everything, and always claim victory" has included admissions by him that there was no evidence, but the philosophy was more important. Generals supporting sending an army to assist insurection, or other unconstitutional acts such as rounding up all Haitians in a city, because a neighbour reported their cat missing, with suspicion of one neighbour (cat came back next day).

This is as serious of a concern as his promise to provide absolute immunity to all police abuse. Israel's token concession to ICJ to prosecute rape torture of prisoners, would turn out the same in USA, if Trump supremacists destroy everything with immunity, and those not happy about Trump fascism get fascisted.

There was plenty of evidence of election irregularities. People have gone to jail for stuffing extra votes for Trump.

He means the ones that got tired of hitler and tried to kill him.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Not because they disagreed with him morally or anything of course. They just thought that they could do a better job.

Tbf, British high command agreed that the potential replacements, which included his best generals, would have been better at leading the nazis. They also realised hitler would kill them all when he found out.

Still, shame they found out though hey?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago

You don't deserve the kind of generals Hitler had. That's why you have JD Vance and Elon Musk.

No problem dude, we'll put a few of them on your upcoming juries.

Is he aware that Germany lost?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure he would consider murdering millions of Mexicans as a win, even if it ends with a bullet to his temple.

Ya know I realise this is complete conspiracy theory.

However, I'm still willing to give a 2-5% chance that if Trump gets back into power, within the last 12-18 months of his presidency he'll declare a special operation into North Mexico to 'secure the border', 'stop the illegal immigrants' and 'remove the drug cartels'.

Then he'll claim it's too dangerous to hold the election, or not appropriate, or whatever excuse because of the special operation. And then he'll postpone the election with the approval of the SC as a presidential duty and therefore not illegal.

And I know this is insane but every time I ask myself "would trump attempt something like this?" The answer is always "yes"

If someone tells you they're a Nazi, believe them and treat them accordingly.
