It'll be funny if fascism ends up failing in the USA not because of "our norms" or "our institutions" but because these particular fascists are a bunch of messy, incompetent queens.

Eh, that's what they were last time too

Himmler put his masseuse in a prominent role in the military.

It's not just these particular fascists. Fascists are always washed up bums that get off by punching down. Which is why I'm so baffled about how they get (re)elected.

Then again, as wary as I am of conspiracy theories, the current generation of fascists have powerful enablers. Maybe previous ones as well, IDK.

Could it possibly be that he was never qualified for the job and is now stress-drinking and skipping work to cope?

Anyone got an archive link?

I can only imagine their concern. After all, he alarms me when he's present and fully sober. I imagine it's a lot of work keeping up with cognitive dissonance. And one can hope he is kept awake at night fearing what will happen to him when the rule of law returns.

I would never wish rape on anyone, but I do hope he has nightmares about large cell mates.

You twisted little weirdo who would never advocate rape but advocates rapes.

Is it bad to hope for turnabout? I mean, what he's done being done to him?

How can I line myself up for the job so I can leak the files?

I don't even think they are checking refrences at this point.

Americans apply and resistance from the inside! Can't let the government be full of nazis and cowards.

Last I heard, there is a loyalty test involved. Where they are even hiring since the hiring freeze.

You mean hiring Don jr’s coke dealer to run the FBI was a bad idea?
