Bragg was treasonous confederate general who rebeled and fought in the Civil War against his own country.

trump of course staged an insurrection against his own country.

No federal installations should've ever been named for traitors. I took us more than a century to correct that.

Of the Confederacy's worst generals, in addition to being a traitor. Go ahead, TFG, pick a battle worth fighting.

At least he didn't join the KKK (as far as we know).

This was from a time when there was a shameful rise in nostalgia for the Confederacy's lost cause. Trump is mistaken to think that nostalgia has popular support today (or maybe he doesn't care).

What a pathetic human being he is.

If he, by hook or crook, gets "installed" in the White House, he probably WILL be given the power to do what ever he wishes on his own.
That is what Tyrant Dictators do...........

WASF

to change the name back, at least if his forebears were in the South before 1860 and some of them in the Confederate Army. It doesn’t mean I agree with them or that I agree that the mythos of The Lost Cause belongs anywhere else other than in a rubbish bin.

But this guy…Most of his ancestors arrived after 1865, most of them weren’t Southerners, and he never showed much interest in southern history.

Donnie was a civilian since graduating from military school. He never served in the US Armed forces and scorns the people who did.


To my knowledge, he never put any effort into preserving Southern landmarks. Hell, I don’t think he ever put on a reenactor’s Confederate uniform. (OK, I’m a 65+ white male sexist. I don’t like Melania, but I think she’d look good in a replica Southern belle’s dress)


Just say “NO!” to the fake reenactor of Palm Beach.

trump rejecting liberty and accepting bragg sounds more literal than ironic.

Can you imagine the hellscape he will create if elected. Not for me,an average,retired white baby boomer but women, minoritys, union workers, you name it.

THE GRAPES OF WRATH, since eighth grade. It amazed me that my "take" on it in the 8th grade was totally different than reading it at age 76, and with all the knowledge and information I have gained in those many decades.

Your Hellscape, should include all white people below the 1%ers.........Steinbeck's book talks about the day to day existence of the masses of U.S. citizens, that had been driven into poverty by the Uber Rich and Monopolistic Corporations, and living literally hand to mouth, trying to survive each day, during the Great Depression......If you think today's homeless camps are something to see, the camps during the depression, (called Hoovervilles) were made up of un-fathomable numbers of average citizens.......and truly "Hellscapes"......

The "Power's To Be" actually banned the book when it came out, for a short period of time.......small wonder.........

If it hadn't been for FDR, it would have stayed that way, and we would be just another Banana Republic, Third World country.
Ruled by the same class, that wants to obliterate every last thing FDR did, and take us back to their "Gilded Age" run by their "Robber Barrons"......Carnegie, Rockefeller, Mellon, etc etc

And sadly, by them slowly chipping away at it, these past 45+ years, they are a millimeter away of pulling it off, and plan on ABSOLUTELY NOTHING standing in their way, this time around, during this election........

KATIE BAR THE DOOR

Isn't that an accurate definition of DJ Trump?

and so is Project 2025 and mass deportation and subjugating women and burning books and legitimizing hate for "the other" and white Christian dominance....

who says Republicans have no platform??

Or maybe ... "Fort Trump"?

This comes on the heels of Trump charging black Haitian legal immigrants of killing and eating pet dogs and cats in Springfield, OH. It turns out that the woman that started the rumor because her cat went missing only to be found a couple of days later in her own basement. But Trump doubled down by saying the Haitians were now killing the geese in Springfield, OH. This time a white man was arrested for illegally hunting geese on a golf course. The key word in this paragraph is "black".

Trump keeps returning to racist issues to gin up his base and that is what is behind his more recent call to rename Fort Liberty back after the racist Confederated General Bragg. My Great Grandfather joined the Iowa National Guard on his 16th birthday - the first day he was eligible to enlist. This was after two of his older brothers had been killed by Confederate soldiers earlier in the war. He was later injured himself in the battle for Atlanta. I was stationed at then Fort Bragg in 1963. I had no idea that the fort was named after a treacherous Confederate General and I now find it insulting to be asked to serve at a place named after an enemy of America. Being stationed at Fort Liberty, on the hand, would be an honor. See the difference? There is now way we can go back.

Why do we keep paying attention to that buffoon? He needs to be ignored, that will drive him nuts, more nuts I mean.

45 says nothing but stupid, cruel, evil, and Un-American traitorous things.

When 45 behaves and speaks like a decent human being - THAT is what matters.

I never want to see 45 Litter news story, after post, after thread again.

I'm sick and tired of seeing this things name.

Like the day I don't have to hear it anymore, the better.

Why more people don’t see through this blatantly dishonest pandering, I can’t figure out.

Or more appropriately, the next blimp.

and services that directly impact their lives in a tangible, meaningful and positive way. It's more important that they put the damned lib'ruls and commies in their place. All so they can feel better about their standing relative to POC, women, and LGBTQ. They would go back to the stone age if they could. They are e weak, insecure and fearful cohort ... so easily fooled and manipulated. They are all damaged people. Every frigging one of them -- including a few of my 8 siblings sadly.

And just think, tens of millions are still gonna vote for this deranged dude who sports a Cotton candy comb over, colors his face with orange stage makeup, and has a messiah complex.

Did you give Ranger Regiment its black berets back during your time as the fucking resident?

No.

So, fuck yourself, you five-fucking deferment poser, felon and rapist.

Darby Tan looks a hell of a lot sharper than black. Even if they pull the berets from the legs and REMFs the Rangers should keep the tan ones.

What is MOST important to his base

TFG's base are a bunch of racists who want to bring back the Confederacy

You wonder if this brontosaurus knows the Civil War ended in 1865, the racist, slave-owning Confederacy lost, and that Americans have more pressing needs, like universal health care or flood re-insurance?

At least those who knew him.

Is there ANY enemy of America, past or present, that MAGA does not love?

The Mexicans had abolished slavery before we did.

other than the fact that Trump would never be caught dead in uniform for anybody
