Even if temporary, it should not have happened and no normal, decent administration would have done so.

Notable examples they scrubbed, that I recall off top of my head:

Tuskegee Airman
Ira Hayes (Iwo Jima flag raiser)
Emily Jazmin Tatum Perez, first female African=American West Point graduate to die on combat. (Iraq-2006)

I believe after outcry some have been restored, but they are actively erasing and altering as much as possible to pure any non white influence in their "DEI" purge. Sadly the disingenuous DEI rhetoric resonated with a lot of working class (mainly male, but especially white males) voters who don't understand what DEI actually is for the most part, and have been propagandized to believe being diverse, inclusive, and equitable harms them lol. Quite sad.

Part of this is long game that neofascists play and is part of Project 2025. They are attempting to overtake education and eradicate things they do not like by scrubbing as much as possible from government archives etc. Not theory, objective fact via their actions and words.

Mini Goebbels himself, Stephen Miller was on tv ranting about "teaching children to love America again" lol. Such ultranationalist bs. Part of loving American is celebrating its positives such as diversity and understanding, admitting the negatives and working to change them. That is patriotism, Miller and Regime want nationalism, performative patriotism which garners obedience. Classic fascist tactics.

Its not true. I pulled the quote directly from their website.

That is long established and everyone seems to understand it, especially now except his supporters.



Far as the B-29, that is a shame as you've always been helpful, but that is your choice.

The brothers Otto and Gregor Strasser did much to grow the party by tying Hitler’s racist nationalism to socialist rhetoric that appealed to the suffering lower middle classes. In doing so, the Strassers also succeeded in expanding the Nazi reach beyond its traditional Bavarian base. By the late 1920s, however, with the German economy in free fall, Hitler had enlisted support from wealthy industrialists who sought to pursue avowedly anti-socialist policies. Otto Strasser soon recognized that the Nazis were neither a party of socialists nor a party of workers, and in 1930 he broke away to form the anti-capitalist Schwarze Front (Black Front). Gregor remained the head of the left wing of the Nazi Party, but the lot for the ideological soul of the party had been cast.

pretty sure he swore an oath to uphold and protect the constitution, but what do I know.



Trump says, ‘I don’t know,’ when asked if he’s required to uphold Constitution

^ Well I can see the sources are all left leaning, so its a political hit piece trying to get POTUS47 to bring back the deported criminal illegal alien MS-13 gangbanger.

So why does he have to protect this person? As a voting legal US citizen I approve POTUS47's actions.

Yes. During his “Meet the Press” interview on May 4, 2025, President Trump was asked by NBC’s Kristen Welker whether he believes he is required to uphold the U.S. Constitution. He replied, “I don’t know,” adding that “I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said” NPRThe Washington Post.
This exchange came amid a broader discussion of due-process rights for noncitizens after the Supreme Court unanimously ordered the administration to facilitate the return of a wrongfully deported man. Trump questioned whether the Fifth Amendment applies to everyone in the country and repeatedly deferred interpretation to his legal team rather than acknowledging the presidential oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution” theguardian.comThe Washington Post.

Yes some more FOX NEWS! delivered by Jesse Watters no less



I see Austria maintains good borders, why can't we?

Austria maintains a high-level of border security through Schengen-compliant controls, Frontex cooperation, and national policing measures. Irregular entries are not “uncontrolled” but are declining in line with EU-wide trends—and Austria’s own asylum intake remains moderate by European standards.

This is the US politics thread. If you want to discuss Nazi Germany start another thread.

I'm sorry that's like the easiest of questions and instead of "Unequivocally yes", the technicalities of the constitution not withstanding he answers "I don't know" and refers to his lawyers, which are losing cases left, right and center, because of the EO's they are tasked with defending are violating the constitution
The 5th Amendment applies to any PERSON under the jurisdiction of the United States, not just citizens.
As proponents of gun control were so often lectured on this very forum:
Amend, or change the amendment to the constitution if you don't like what it's currently saying.

You can do what you want, but it should be done while still following the law of the land. I don't think anyone begrudges you trying to protect your borders. The matter at issue is how you're treating those that are already in the country.

Oh look he has a red Sith laser sword.

Trump let the world knew he would not seek a third term.


It would also be a bit exhausting to be president and pope at the same time.

However, he could increase the number of minutes per hour by 100 percent by decree in order to have enough time for both jobs.


But this could have a negative impact on his golf handicap, thats why he abandoned the idea.

Meanwhile Japan who owns the largest share of US Treasury bonds is telling Trump to play nice or they will dump them.

And did I just read the Tesla board of directors is ousting Elon?

“This is absolutely false (and this was communicated to the media before the report was published). The CEO of Tesla is Elon Musk and the Board is highly confident in his ability to continue executing on the exciting growth plan ahead.”

He is seeking a 3rd term. JD Vance will be his mouthpiece. Past presidents certainly provided insight after leaving the Whitehouse.

I see the latest weeks discussion here in the thread as a Domestic issue and I stay out of it, as a non-American citizens.

I have to point out one thing-A trump voter isn't a neonazist.
