It’s ironic to use an Army base named after an incompetent Confederate general to attack an elected official.
If we spent less time fighting political battles and more time on the actual quality of life for the troops here—fixing housing and schools—we’d all be better off.

Again, this is for military families in Fort Bragg. This is ostensibly a military event and therefore nonpartisan. (Also, Braxton Bragg was a terrible general, even by Confederacy standards).
Trump, speaking to troops in North Carolina, is now attacking ex-governor and Democratic Senate candidate Roy Cooper as a "disaster" who was culpable for a woman getting her "throat slit"

The Christian nationalists are tormenting hungry children.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Oh good grief. He mentions white food. Lordy. Does he think there’s a shortage of biscuits and lard-laden food in this country?

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
