This is who our President is...

Well, well, Trump’s BFF Putin, really is giving intelligence to Iran about US military bases! Of course, the Orange Buffoon will deny Putin is doing that. Trump is still and will forever be Putin’s useful idiot. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

I've been voting against Republicans every opportunity since 1976.

There is systemic rot in the GOP. The whole party is complicit.

Bravo! Such a brave young girl. Prayers and love sending your way. πŸ’™

I know; my point was it was ALL Republican Presidents that got us into these wars.

Poor wording on my part.

I have never voted for a Republican, ever. Chill ....

My first opportunity to vote was for Jimmy Carter in 1976; we had to be 21 then. My generation fought hard to reduce the voting age to 18; if you're sending kids off to war ... by God they ought to have an opinion about it.

Unfortunately, the US has supported Israel in too many conflicts; Dems and GOP both, one administration into the next. This is generational.

Netanyahu keeps a conflict going for the same reason as Trump; to stay in office so they can't be charged. When Netanyahu is gone he will be charged.

3/ Wheelchair guy was "okay" sent to a rehab facility ... litter guy stayed in the psych ward for weeks, than transferred to the VA.

God, we hated that war. I get anxiety thinking about these kids today. My generation pushed to have 18 yr olds vote; you're welcome.

*sigh* Here it comes again ....

2/ They knew of, but didn't KNOW ... have my own PTSD. One that still stays with me; read the tag on a litter patient, weeping, shaking violently; no physical injuries. His buddy was strapped in a wheelchair; lost his legs, his manhood. "I told you we'd make it! We're home, man, we made it!"

Tks for the reminder; my girls know I lost my mother young, raised in family foster.

I didn't tell them of the rawness of receiving Vietnam wounded as an AF medic (stateside) and transporting them to the hospital; so many amputees, blinded, burned, PTSD. It was gut wrenching. Beautiful young men.

β€œLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.

He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will β€” and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

Kamala Harris: "I predicted a lot about what's happening right now. I'm not here to say 'I told you so,' but we did see it coming."

Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.

Their guy said he'd pardon the J6 insurrectionists--and then shockingly did it.

I haven't heard any potential Democratic candidate promise to pardon everybody arrested for protesting ICE.

That'd go a long way toward showing me they're opposition and not just controlled.

Today, Michelle and I are proud to announce that we will be hosting the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on June 18th in Chicago, and welcoming the public on June 19th.

We can’t wait for you to visit. Go to obama.org to learn more.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

No Republican Presidents; father/son Bush and Trump. All three responsible for Mideast wars.

Clinton isn't in good health but came; Bush isn't either and has been on a long term effort painting wounded/deceased soldiers. Think/hope his issue is more penance.

Mary, you're absolutely correct. But at a deeper level he is a psychopath as well ... he is cruel and relishes it.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

What the fuck is wrong with America. That his approval is anywhere near 40 is madness. He should be closer to 20.

Fuck sake the dems and others are not making the case that he is STEALING democracy from under their noses. In plain sight.

Something must be done.

I'll save them the trouble. How is the government afraid of an opinionated 78 yr old veteran woman with a lifelong πŸ’™voting record?

The GOP is evil ... their Gestapo appointed violent arm is ICE to quell descent.

How's that?

Louisville and Lexington players paused the USL Championship season opener for 60 seconds after kickoff, letting the clock run without play. A fearless show of unity from the USL Players Association as negotiations reach a critical stage. It’s time for the league to act. #StandUpForStandards

Can someone explain to me why Trump says Ukraine is being unreasonable?
