oh, Erik Prince, international war criminal, very cool
I was wondering where that jackass had been.
Oh my, that’s some good ol’ fashioned privatized fascism there. Don’t want to have it socialized.
I’m sure taxpayers will foot the bill for this through…their…taxes??
America: YOU NEED TO STOP TRUMP.
The pipeline is you muster a private paramilitary, use it to seize total power, then you eliminate the paramilitary leaders who may turn against you, roll the rest into the proper military, and let the fanaticism corrupt the whole thing to your benefit.
night of the long knives: coming to a north american nation near you!
Not just Trump. Non-MAGA America needs to stand up to all of MAGA. Removing some of the leadership would help, but it’s doubtful now whether that can happen through any democratic or judicial means.
No, we need to stop conservative evangelical christian fascists.
Isn’t all facsism privatized? Like, isn’t that part of the definition?
Gee, I wonder what colour uniforms that “citizen army” will wear?
Silver is traditional in America.
A nationalist, fascist group, the paramilitary Silver Legion wore a uniform modeled after the Nazis’ brown shirts, consisting of a silver shirt with a blue tie, along with a campaign hat and blue corduroy trousers with leggings. The uniform shirts bore a scarlet letter L over the heart, which according to Pelley was “standing for Love, Loyalty, and Liberation.” The blocky slab serif L-emblem was in a typeface similar to the present-day Rockwell Extra Bold. The organizational flag was a plain silver field with a red L in the canton on the upper left hand corner. By 1934, the Legion claimed that it had 15,000 members.
personally i think the “L” stands for “loser”
i just see a blank comment

I don’t think that’s the tradition they’re going to follow, though.
Isn’t this kinda how the SS came to be?
SA, but close enough
“I don’t see how you could do private sector, deputized law enforcement officers,” Sandweg said. “That’s subject to an immediate injunction by a court.”
Remind me who would enforce such an injunction?
The ones the injunction is against, of course!
