So, according to MAGAt Mussolini, the Dept. of War (oooooh, grrrrrrrrr) is ideal for domestic use.
No more fiction, just out there, in the open, dictatorial fascism on display.
From a guy who looks and behaves like he's the compere at a Ru Paul tribute show.

The Golden Circle sure brings back some grad school memories of the filibusters, the filibusteros), aka piratas norteamericanos. James Walker, who ended up in front of a firing squad, is the best known of these historical footnotes. Although Henry Crabb getting his head pickled in an olla of mezcal certainly was a highlight. And, on point, your Mussolini comparison seems most apt. Ridiculous, farcical, asinine, and very dangerous. But only because Mussolini was and Trump is surrounded by people totally lacking an ethical core.
