What connection is there, if any, between U.S. presidential candidate Kamala Harris promising to ensure that the U.S. has "...the most lethal fighting force in the world" (see video at :23; August 22, 2024) and #Drumph's Pentagon claiming the same thing: "...and all personnel, including Matt McNitt, reflect the administration’s shared mission to ensure our military is the most lethal fighting force in the world.”(August 5, 2025; Phila Inquirer, p. 4)?

What is better framing for a democratically-minded, peace-oriented military?

Kamala Harris: I Will Ensure America Has The strongest, Most lethal Fighting Force In The World

YouTube

Just moving forward with the Nazi agenda regardless of judicial, political or MAGA opposition.

You know, what they planned to do all along, maybe in a different order. Nazi stuff.

Nothing to see? Nothing to cause revolts or true general strikes against American business as usual, such that it has become?

"The U.S. dollar has fallen to its lowest value since 1973" When, checks notes, Nixon was president. Coincidence..... I think not. #isamericagreatagainnow #bigrob #drumph
@nilsskirnir @Strandjunker 31% of eligible voters voted for #Drumph; 29% voted for #harris. 40% of eligible voters did not vote.

@spiegelmama @xankarn @nightdream

Fair enough.

I'm interested in the pathway to get to "once this madness is over." Strategically, it might be better to consider what messaging -- and action -- would have convinced the missing 40%.

As for the 31% that did vote for #Drumph, there was already so much compelling information about what he symbolized, and what he said he'd do, that I don't think the 31% will suddenly get it. I hope I'm wrong;

I'm not sharing a link here because, paywall. But I'll just share this screenshot of a headline from noted bleeding heart liberal publication the Wall Street Journal on Trump's "beautiful" tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada.

With Drumph stripping departments of any power and putting idiots in charge is it a good time to clone key government sites like CISA and NIST so we can preserve them?

Remember during some of the government shutdowns not being about to reach important sites like that.

@SteveThompson By this, #Drumph is concluding the ascend to a true totalitarian regime. A feature of any totality is ALWAYS the regime encouraging neighbours to rat and inform to the regime on each other (often for direct or indirect profit).

This is the surest way to destroy communities and society.

Failing to use power to protect and defend the Constitution from someone who intends from day one to eviscerate it IS an abuse of power. #drumph

Failing to withhold support from a foreign government which continually flouts international law to kill those under their power is also an abuse of power. #israel

Continuing to take money from and allowing others to take money from those who are pushing those with power to serve them rather than the source of Constitutional power, the people, is also an abuse of power. #oligarchs #billionaires #corporations

#BidenAdministration

@TheConversationUS #Drumph received about 30% of eligible voters' votes. That's not a mandate. Besides, populism isn’t necessarily democratic.
