Oversight panel probes federal agency over unhinged post claiming US is devolving into Nazi Germany
NY Post ^ | 12 Dec 2024 | Ryan King and Josh Christenson

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer demanded answers from the Selective Service agency for reposting a vulgar social media screed last month suggesting the US may be on a similar trajectory to Nazi Germany.

Although the report was subsequently scrubbed from the Selective Service’s official X account, Comer (R-Ky.) is keen on obtaining additional information on the matter and wants to ensure the perpetrator is fired....

One day after the Nov. 5 election, the Selective Service X account reposted a remark by user “SloJoe” likening the incoming Trump administration to Nazi Germany.

“For all you stupid [xxx] out there that still believe military service will be voluntary. Remember Germany 1936,” the post said....

USA has gotten perilously close to a Nazi/ communist dictatorship in recent years but maybe, just maybe, 🤔 it is pulling away from the precipice now.

Ironic.

I see Trump as more traditionally conservative, i.e. Constitution, limited government.

That is the ANTHESIS, of a centralized thinking person where the benefit to the masses supersedes the rights of the individual.

The left keeps saying these things, but I do not think they really know what national socialism was.

The indicator will be if people will be allowed to mock the government again. Censorship is #1 with nazis.
Calling Trump ‘Hitler’ shows ignorance. Hitler had no sense of humor, He thought of himself as a god. You would never see him wearing a McD’s apron or in a safety vest on a garbage truck.

1. Why the hell does the Selective Service need an X account to repost anything?

2. Hopefully they will find the little dirtbag who did it it.

3. This is precisely why the new Administration needs to make it easier to fire federal workers.

Yes. The leftist/ commie/ Nazi/ progressives do a tremendous amount of psychotic projecting. If you ever want to learn what they’re up to, just listen to all the lies they spread about President Trump or any other regular, moderate Americans.
It’s like the D- leftist look Into a mirror for their calumnious scripts

EVERYWHERE in the Federal bureaucracy...including at the very top...there are Maoists who are dedicated to “fundamentally transforming” this country.

Nazis, commies and democrats . Two wings and a tail of the same buzzard. Too bad you won’t believe the actual words of your nasty natzys.
NATIONALIST SOCIALISTS and COMMUNIST SOCIALISTS to the core! Birds of a feather stick together! No wonder the SOCIALISTS call everyone they don’t like after a third rate Italian Political Party (fascists) of the 1930s.
Goebbel’s own words...”Lenin is the greatest man, second only to Hitler, and that the difference between Communism and the Hitler faith is very slight.”-Joseph Goebbels
And...
“Controversial problems [between Germany and Russia] did not, in my opinion, exist anywhere along the line from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea and to the Far East. In addition, despite all the divergencies in their views of life, there was one thing common to the ideology of Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union: opposition to the capitalist democracies in the West.”—Julius Schnurre, Nazi trade rep to Russia.

The communist party of Gus Hall has never changed it’s position. The democrats have moved so far Left they are now the same as the commies.

That SS member is the one that will attempt to murder President Trump. I don’t believe he will succeed, but he will attempt.

Correct. And not until the average Joe understands what that means will they understand what comes after.

Spying on bank accounts
Monitoring phones
FBIing homes

As if they trust us NOT and want to know our daily moves.
They didn’t do any of this before last few elections.
The US government .. control.. and why? What would normal citizens be doing that needed watching>

And what did obama mean when he said he came to fundamentally change the US. Has he?
To me he is a foreigner.. not born in the 48 US states and his last name in the line of Presidents, stands out as not American name.

I want to add this..
In WWII, my father went ashore at Normandy,, after a month of training at a base in Texas. He left his street clothes and things at the base..
Before the men got off the boat at Normandy, they were given orders to follow.
Run.. do not stop till you reach shore and after.. do not stop to help a fallen soldier.. but if they are dead, take their rifle and ground equipment, if possible.
German soldiers were on the hill shooting at them as they ran... some didn’t make it.
they went ashore, knowing their chances were less than 50 50, yet they did not hesitate... they did as ordered.
they walked across cold and wet France, digging fox holes to stay in from the cold.. if only for one night.. they were wet and dirty for long periods,

Arlington holds many of those from that war... families lost husbands, brothers, sons... and today they sit in Washington making steps to consider us all the enemy. Those men in Washington were not born when men were dying for the freedoms those men are trying to take from us.

Trump is what - 78 yo? He never made a serious run at political office until age 69.

Hitler, OTOH, had become head of the German state at the age of 42, and had murdered millions and had committed suicide by the age of 55.

On its face, there’s no similarity.
