Our children are not warriors. They are not Spartan hoplites, born and raised to fight and die and kill. They are citizens first last and always who are called upon to offer up their innocence in defense of the Constitution and the nation founded therein.

Let us not forget, it is our children who we entrust to our military. We expect them to be trained as soldiers, not cold blooded killers. This comic book "warrior ethos" is fantasy. We owe them better leaders who know the weight of their charge and will not squander their innocence needlessly.

The young men and women that we send into the military deserve better than they are getting now. The ideologues that are at the helm of the military now don't seem realize the responsibility that they are entrusted with. It is no small thing to take a human life even in the defense of ones country.

Huh! DOJ is going to sue the citizens of California for voting to redistrict something that's clearly within their right to do.
While nobody's saying anything about Texas's decision to just unilaterally redistrict without asking anybody's permission.
Nightmare 😮

There must be worse crimes for us to pursue.
Stephen Himmler, sorry, Miller, who never did a hard day's work in his life believes that the worst crime most people commit is wanting to live in the USA.

Having created a trade problem with China, this bafoon claims to have fixed the trade problem with China by returning trade to something just a little less than its previous state.

This idiot deal maker had the worst record on trade with China during his presidency and has come back with a deal that is less of a benefit to the United States than anything that was done during the Biden administration.

Exactly what is it that you're trying to do in a nicer manner?
Oh they actually think it’s a secret button they can push to ignore laws.
Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."
