Trump insults the police and military on a daily basis.
Be interesting to see how they stand when the time comes.
You know the answer to that.
When the band plays "Hail to the Chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you
and they still bend over backwards to vote Republican every time.
hes also allegedly forcing all the officers in the military(former or current) in his birthday parade to sleep on cots.
I suppose I could do a fact check on that, but my mind is still reeling from the music video he released yesterday.
If you didn't see it, he's a rock star with a dozen go-go dancers behind him. And a flag guitar.
Good chunk of Military isn't trump stans. Neither are a decent sized group of nat parks/capitol police/various other LEO.
Wonder what the percentage is on that.
I'm gonna be real. Stuff like this news is why we in Canada aren't really changing our opinion of America overall and Americans. It's like everyone with a platform to say anything just says the bare minimum possible. Like if we heard a lot more public people say that Donald Trump is a literal traitor to the constitution we might change our opinion a bit. But it's just... this. Harshest language I see is on Lemmy and Reddit. Dude was almost killed during the insurrection but the best he can say is that they're "petty" and should "shove the plaque up their ass".
Our media has been working overtime to sane-wash everything and it's done immeasurable damage
That's very true but it's not just the media that is complicit in this. Damn near everyone in a position of power or authority who keeps saying nothing or the absolute bare minimum. The longer this goes on the longer Canadians will never trust Americans again, nevermind the rest of the planet. Every ounce of soft power you guys had has been obliterated and America is never going to get it or trust in it back within our lifetimes.
Can't say I blame you...
the alleged assassination, was mostly staged considering he had no injury to his ear.
Trump and the GOP would put up a plaque honoring the rioters.
They want to give the traitors reparations. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/us/politics/trumo-jan6-rioters-compensation.html
They put up with a plague to…something…something…
they gave 5mil to ashli babbits family, they might put a plaque or statue of her at some point.
They're literally paying Ashley Babbit's family $5 million after she was shot trying to crawl through the window of a barricaded door into the Speaker's Lobby.
I really hope that officer sues her estate for $5 million for the pain and suffering of having to kill someone committing multiple felonies.
Another appropriate word that comes to mind is traitors.
maga vs. the police LET'S GO
fuck both sides, police don't deserve any respect and trump is an asshole.
