NEW: Liz Cheney issued a statement in response to Donald Trump’s threat on Meet the Press to jail her over her role in the January 6th committee:
“This morning, President-elect Trump again lied about the January 6th Select Committee, and said members of the Committee 'should go to jail' for carrying out our constitutional responsibilities. Here is the truth: Donald Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and seize power. He mobilized an angry mob and sent them to the United States Capitol, where they attacked police officers, invaded the building and halted the official counting of electoral votes. Trump watched on television as police officers were brutally beaten and the Capitol was assaulted, refusing for hours to tell the mob to leave.
This was the worst breach of our Constitution by any president in our nation’s history. Donald Trump’s suggestion that members of Congress who later investigated his illegal and unconstitutional actions should be jailed is a continuation of his assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our republic.”
Melania Trump is trailer trash.
She will always be a gold-digger, arm ornament & trophy wife who lied to get an Einstein Visa to enter the U.S.
Like her corrupt, criminal husband, Melania is a cynical, venal grifter preoccupied w/enriching herself at the expense of others.
The election was rigged.. this was not a free and fair election.. i dont know how they did it but i know that Elon and Russia found a way to rigg the election.. what i dont understand is why wont the democratic Party do something about this??
Sweetie, since you didn't serve and, well, I did, I thought I'd point out a few things about Gen. Milley's uniform you clearly don't understand.
See that blue thing above his ribbons?
That's the Combat Infantryman Badge. It's awarded to Army soldiers in the Infantry or Special Forces in the rank of colonel or below who have engaged in direct combat.
You don't earn that by being a senior officer in the rear. There are plenty of senior officers who deployed and never earned a CIB, including general officers.
If you look really close, his badge has a star at the top, which means it's his second CIB. You only get to earn one per war. He engaged in direct combat in both Panama (1989) and the Global War on Terrorism, and thus, he earned that rare star.
If you look closely at his ribbon rack--and I'll grant you, this photo is a bit grainy--you'll notice he's earned three Legions of Merit and four Bronze Stars.
On his left shoulder are the Special Forces tab and the Ranger tab, meaning he's both a former Green Beret and Ranger-qualified.
There are some other cool things: both Master Parachutist and Special Operations Diver, the latter of which is a *very* hard course.
But all of that pales in comparison to what you can't see in this photo: on his right sleeve, a quarter inch above the sleeve braid, are 10 overseas service bars.
Each one of those bars represents six months of completed service while deployed in a theater of war.
Gen. Milley spent five years of his career serving in combat zones: Panama, Bosnia, Haiti, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
I imagine it must make someone like you feel pretty damn insecure that a leader who has committed his entire adult life to service in uniform thinks your orange daddy is a coward who avoided military service, but that's not a good enough reason to lie about his service record.
Far right extremists in the House are once again threatening to cut Social Security benefits for hardworking American taxpayers.
Is anyone surprised they lied to the American people?
Starting in less than one month, the Inflation Reduction Act will cap out-of-pocket drug costs on Medicare at $2,000 a year.
@SenateDems passed the bill. Every single Republican voted against. When it comes to saving seniors thousands of dollars, actions speak louder than words.
There is NO way over 7 MILLION LESS Democrats came out to vote for the first Female and the first Black Woman for President than they did during a FU*KING DEADLY PANDEMIC! Especially since registrations were UP! No F'n WAY!!
Elon Musk, whose net worth is over $500 billion, met with US Senators, whose average net worth is $2.3 million and who make $15,000 a month with fully paid health benefits, to discuss cutting social security benefits to people who get an average of $1700 per month.
Let that sink in.
🔥🔥@RepDeluzio does NOT hold back, calling out the incoming Trump admin proposal to slash $119 billion from the VA budget—gutting critical care for those who served:
"You want to cut healthcare for the Veterans who risked their lives for this country?!"
