Supporting MAGA isn’t even conservatism. It’s cuckoldry.

I thought you Harris supporters might want a taste of how you sound with your "Trump is Hitler" accusations.

13 Ex-Trump Aides Back Kelly’s ‘Dictator’ Warning, Saying Trump Seeks ‘Absolute, Unchecked Power’
It's not Trump Derangement Syndrome: Even Trump's former generals say, 'He's a fascist'
John Kelly recently called Trump a fascist. He's not the only former staffer to turn against the president.
A number of former Trump staffers and allies have turned against him.
Some have warned that Trump is a fascist and a danger to the country.
They include his former vice president, chief of staff, and national security advisor, among others.

And 51 intelligence officials certified that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinfo. You lefties keep trotting out these old lies. It smells like desperation.
Trump fired Kelly so he's making up these absurd lies about him.
People get trapped in TDS, because the more you have it,the more you'll believe crap like this, which further reinforces your TDS.
What did he actually do during his 4 years in officer that was "Hitler-esque"?

I don't give a shit about Hunter Biden. Never have. If he broke the law he should be punished accordingly. It's been my stance the entire time.
Has nothing to do with Harris or Trump.
I don't believe for a second that Kelly (or the majority of people who worked for Trump [including Bill Barr who wasn't fired, but quit]) is lying about Trump.

It seems you missed the obvious connection that the establishment has already proven that people will come out in spades to lie in order to hurt Trump, and most of those had no real reason to have a personal Vendetta against Trump as Kelly did.

Keep pointing to an imaginary boogy-man and don't pay attention to what we're actually DOING.

Not buying it. I've seen too much of Trump for too many years.
They just confirm what I see.

Not true/Fake news
What is Department of Defense Directive 5240.01? Pentagon's Military Update
The Pentagon has denied claims running rampant online around an updated Defense Department (DOD) document outlining how military intelligence can be shared with local and federal authorities, after numerous sources claimed the directive opened the door for the use of force against civilians ahead of the U.S. elections.
"The policies concerning the use of force by DOD addressed in [the directive] are not new, and do not authorize the DOD to use lethal force against U.S. citizens or people located inside the United States, contrary to rumors and rhetoric circulating on social media," Department of Defense spokesperson Sue Gough told Newsweek.
"While the paragraph that's been most frequently referenced on social media is new to this directive, it does not reflect any change to DOD's policy regarding the use of lethal force by DOD personnel."

False. 51 former intelligence officials said that they didn't know, but it smelled like Russians to them:

This was the added passage. It states the Secretary of defense can deploy "lethal assets" on US Citizens. This would be military assets. Anyway, you might not think this is an issue, but it's interesting to me how the left seems more concerned with ridiculous rumors and not tangible things that are actually happening right now.

What is Directive 5240.01?
The Pentagon updated Directive 5240.01, a document setting out how military intelligence could be used by local law enforcement and other U.S. authorities, in late September.
The Secretary of Defense can approve "assistance in responding with assets with potential for lethality, or any situation in which it is reasonably foreseeable that providing the requested assistance may involve the use of force that is likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury," in the official wording of the document.
The Seattle-based Center for an Informed Public at the University of Washington then noted that "rumors started to spread between multiple social media platforms and across political communities" around the directive shortly after the update.
The claims were shared by on a variety of platforms, including accounts self-described as supporting former President Donald Trump, accounts associated with sharing false information and even prominent political voices. Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who has promoted vaccine-related conspiracy theories, said in a post to social media that Directive 5240.01 empowered the Pentagon "for the first time in history—to use lethal force to kill Americans on U.S. soil who protest government policies."
What Has Changed?
The directive does not hand over new powers to the military. The directive is actually just a reminder for the Pentagon that if they are backing up law enforcement or police in a scenario where there could be a use of force, this must be greenlit by the Secretary of Defense, said Matthew Savill, the director of military sciences at the London-based Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) think tank.
"There are still a host of legal protections around domestic activity and this doesn't override anything; it's a statement of policy, not a change in the law," Savill told Newsweek.
This is not a change of policy, stressed Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, a Washington D.C.-based law and policy institute. Another directive—3025.18—has already been applied to the defense intelligence bodies since the Trump administration, just under a broader umbrella.
The substance is the "exact same," Goitein said. This has been "the policy for some time," Goitein told Newsweek. "They were already subject to it."
"It is not an authorization for any sort of action by defense intelligence components, certainly not an authorization to use lethal force," Goitein added. "It is a procedural restriction on any such operations."
"There are already situations in which the Department of Defense is authorized to provide assistance to civilian law enforcement in situations where there is the potential for lethal force," including when the military is deployed under the Insurrection Act, Goitein said. This is not an "expansion or diminishment" of current law, Goitein added.
One account said the directive now "includes the legal use of lethal force against civilians by the military if directed by DoD [Department of Defense], overriding Posse Comitatus laws that should protect us."
However, Goitein said: "The directive is explicit that none of this assistance can be in violation of Posse Comitatus Act." She added this act generally bans the federal military getting involved with civilian law enforcement anyway, with few exceptions. One of these is the Insurrection Act, but this directive doesn't in any way expand the Insurrection Act, Goitein said.
"This directive simply confirms, or simply reiterates, existing Department of Defense policy that the Secretary of Defense has to personally sign off."

If you're really worried about this you should vote for Harris. It will keep you safe.
