      Fascism.

      He’s also on a list for when their squads start knocking down doors and murdering their enemies, I guarantee it.

      He’s probably got at least another year before that frog is boiled enough though. Hope he enjoys it.

    It takes a lot of courage to speak out against fascists in power. Not enough Germans did it and look what happened.

    If you’re a good person, you probably don’t want to work for a corporation that enables fascists. Hope this person finds a better employer.

    It’s good to reach out to WDJT-TV (DJT huh?) and tell them they are cowards. It’s also good to reach out via her public social media and let Sam Kuffel know that what she did has support.

      They’re too busy arguing that Elon didn’t actually perform either Nazi salute he very clearly performed on video.

      And I’m not joking.
