Donald Trump's longest-serving chief of staff is warning that the Republican presidential nominee meets the definition of a fascist and that while in office, Trump suggested that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler "did some good things."
@#5 ... Harris said that the remarks relayed by Kelly showed that Trump "does not want a military that is loyal to the United States constitution".
"He wants a military who will be loyal to him, personally, one that will obey his orders, even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the constitution of the United States," she said. ...
Yup. That seems to be the case.

And kudos to Prince and that amazing guitar playing near the end of the song. Such a tribute.
@#13 ... I think that plenty of people wanted trump's generals to be like general Rommel. ...
Too soon to tell ...
Erwin Rommel
en.wikipedia.org
... In 1944, Rommel was implicated in the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler. Because of Rommel's status as a national hero, Hitler wanted to eliminate him quietly instead of having him immediately executed, as many other plotters were.
Rommel was given a choice between suicide, in return for assurances that his reputation would remain intact and that his family would not be persecuted following his death, or facing a trial that would result in his disgrace and execution; he chose the former and took a cyanide pill.[8]
Rommel was given a state funeral, and it was announced that he had succumbed to his injuries from the strafing of his staff car in Normandy. ...
