    Stephen Miller’s time is limited, and he knows it. His paranoia is very much justified. His neighbors in Arlington, VA have bullied him into moving away which is great, but this is also a first step so they can be safe when they launch open war on the protestors and start killing Democrats.

    Let’s hope there are some military members that feel similarly and can take their oath to the Constitution seriously (foreign and domestic).

      During fascist takeovers the military never sides with the people. They will follow orders. Especially after Trump ousted all those generals.

      Sound familiar?

        Yeah that was most of it, but there were also lots of small protests outside of his house, comments at them, and in rare cases people went to the door and made “threats” (what they call it because they’re pussies)

      While it’s a nice to stay hopeful, you know in those circumstances they do extensive background checks for anyone who could be in that kind of position and then those folks who are selected are also made to understand that their families are tied to the deal.

      The rest of the military bases have pretty tight controls on arms, because unlike civilian America, the military understands that having guns around all the time leads to bad things.
