You have two minutes to explain to John Adams and George Washington what has happened to the US, how it got that way, and ask them what modern day patriots should do about it.
Go.

Admiral Holsey is to this serial murder in the Caribbean as Hugh Thompson was to the butchery at My Lai --
that is to say a great American and a lone, solitary credit to its armed forces in a moment when a great and unremovable stain was put upon the honor of the entire American military.

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

Election Countdown, 99 Days to Go: Who Is Tim Walz?
A governor, a six-term Congressman, a National Guard artillery specialist, a school teacher for 20 years—and a geographer. A speech that will introduce you to him, and that contains surprises.

Narrator: Never in a 1000 years will any Conservative admit "maybe those hysterical libs had a point". They're wired to self-destruct before that happens. Other than that, no notes.

Asked about a Guard member who’s dead because of his bullshit and it takes him 30 seconds to make it all about how great he is.

Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.
