One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday.
These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.
No, it started when he began spreading misinformation, promoting racism and conspiracy theories, and supporting fascist politicians while interfering in politics in multiple countries
Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.
My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.
Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.
If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.
@DrewPavlou There is no such thing as an ethnic Australian. The closest thing to it is Aboriginals. The guys who were genocided and destroyed. Their populations are dwindling even today. This was due to the colonialists. The ones you are supposedly grieving in the post.
Middle Easterners are genuinely incapable of having a government without a cult of personality or tribalism.
"My dear leader" or "my asheera" bullshit is all they understand. They can't just cast a vote and have a civil society.
A Muslim scholar enters the DM to have a debate on Gaza and his first line was: Jesus was Muslim
How do you even continue after such a ridiculous statement
Do they have 72 versions in history too?
