America’s message to the tens of thousands of people who fought and bled and died for us is that you are worthless and the small possibility that one of you might eventually go on to do something bad in the future means that if things go sideways, we’ll leave you to die.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

We don’t know yet why they were shot, and I truly hope they will be OK, but one thing is certain - If Donald hadn’t been treating our National Guard like his f-n show ponies, these two Guardsman would likely be with their families right now and not lying in a hospital in critical condition. 🤬

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."
