    What a great use of government’s time and money.

    Jesus, these people are such assholes. They won’t root out xtian nationalists, but I guess they’ll spend lots of energy on trying to find people that were expressing emotions that are…what’s that phrase I’m thinking of?..oh, yeah: politically incorrect.

    When the Confederates were bitching and moaning about “political correctness”, they were projecting.

    Again.

    They loooooove enforcing political correctness - the actual types of political correctness, not the imagined kinds.

      Enough time and effort, when the order to kill American “dissidents” comes in the ones that are left will be more than happy to oblige.

      Its literally a USCIS question for naturalization interview.

      Question like: “Have you ever been a member of the nazi party”, “Have you ever persecuted, or tried to persecute, anyone for religion/race/national origin/political opinions” (correct answer is “no”); “do you support the constitution and form of government [aka: Democracy, Separation of powers, etc…]” (correct answer is “yes”)

      If magats were assessed on this standard, they would absolutely fail (provided that the interviewers were unbiased).

      Like holy shit, you could be denied citizenship or even be deported for smoking weed (since that’s still illegal federally, even under democratic administrations). Like, hypothetically if you got citizenship in, say, 2016 right before trump first got elected, then they find out now in 2025 that you smoked weed in 2015, they could retroactively revoke your citizenship for the crime of violating the controlled substances act, and denaturalization happens in Civil Court where standards of proof is lower than “Beyond Resonable Doubt” (that is, assuming they even obey the law).

      All that stringent process, but then we have these obvious traitors sitting on the highest office of the land. What an absolute insult to all of the naturalized citizens who swore their allegience to the constitution.

      Btw: List of questions they ask: https://www.literacymn.org/sites/default/files/yes_no_qs.pdf magas will never pass this test

      My Grandpa was in the military, and he went to prison for being mean to Nazis.

      Of course that was a German POW prison.

      And by being mean I mean dropping bombs on them from his B-24.

    Please hunt down and dishonorably discharge a bunch of combat trained individuals ideologically opposed to the current regime. I see no way that could backfire.

    Purging the military for ideological reasons actively harms US defense. Pete Hegseth is a traitor.

    1st Amendment rights, anyone?

    Funny how the right is always the first one to attack enshrined rights as soon as they are used against them.

    This is what one step of a purge looks like. I don’t know which step or how close to an obedient and loyal military that will betray the constitution we are but one step closer.

    You know, the real concern shouldn’t be someone looking up our posts, or even who is losing their jobs… thinking about 9/11, we’re really prepping ourselves up for a similar terrorist act. Pissing off everyone, losing people in charge of espionage, wasting time investigating people making fun of Kirk instead of actual threats, and so on.
