Himes on the difference between Trump's boat strikes and Obama's drone strikes: "The most important distinction is that Congress authorized the war on terror ... the original sin of this whole thing is that there is no congressional authorization."

Never forget that Trump called the troops who lost their lives that day, along with the veterans who survived the attack on Pearl Harbor, "suckers & losers."

This is such an important point.

No shit. Traitor Trump has installed the worst people ever into his cabinet, and it's fucking shown this past year.

Especially that murderous DUI-hire, Captain Morgan, Pete Kegsbreath. Double-Tap needs to be brought to justice. Like ALL of them do.

What Senator Cotton says here would be a bad defense for the Germans convicted in WWI and WWII war crimes trials -- including for firing on shipwrecked in fully operational lifeboats.

This line of response hurts the US and US servicemembers. It will cause long-term damage unless we get this right.
WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?

If you call it a “male immaturity epidemic,” a very different set of phenomena come into focus, as this thread shows
I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

The Democratic Party’s work:

Do you say you can’t stand these “socialist” policies? Yet, you benefit from them.

Now the other party is taking them away, do you happily trade off these policies for the joy of owning the libs?

Trump says that tariffs will replace income tax

Another lie

At their current levels, tariffs will bring in around $350 Billion/year

Income taxes bring in $5.1 Trillion/year

Tariff levels would have to be 15 times what they are now
FACT FOCUS: Trump says tariffs can eventually replace federal income taxes. Experts disagree
President Donald Trump has long praised tariffs as key to increasing wealth in the United States, idealizing Gilded Age policies that preceded the implementation of a modern federal income tax.
