12 years ago today Conservatives were losing their minds because Obama wore a tan suit. They said he was embarrassing the country insisting "a president should be dignified."
They said they wanted to restore dignity, respect and honor back to the presidency.
So they elected Trump
There are guys that easily shit post on this site, from the comfort of his chair, guys like me. It's super easy to do and the stakes are very low. The only thing that might happen, is having my account closed, and worst case, be doxed, and I'm pretty mindful about that. It's what it is.
But then, there are the real dudes that actually put themselves on the line and do what very little of us would probably do. And that shit is the real fucking courage. These are special kind of people!
Major Jason Watson wore his Air Force uniform to the Capitol, named 13 service members killed by Trump's illegal strikes, and demanded impeachment.
Capitol Police arrested him for it.
The criminals who ordered those strikes are still free. The man who told the truth about them isn't. Remember that.
@TimHannan I know. I'm in southeastern PA, it's early summer, and we've already lost power twice. Our outdated, insufficient grids can't take the overload.
THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED FOR UNDER FASCISM โ BRAVERY
Before the attacks and the hot takes start, a few facts:
Major Jason Watson is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, a career logistics officer, a NATO officer, and a decorated veteran who volunteered for a 365-day tour in Afghanistan and later served in Kuwait and Iraq.
He led personnel across multiple countries, managed billions of dollars in military assets, and served as a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator to support fellow service members.
Defense Meritorious Service Medal. Meritorious Service Medals. Joint Service Commendation Medal. Years of service to this country and to our allies.
You can agree or disagree with his protest. Thatโs your right.
But rewriting his record, questioning his patriotism, or pretending he hasnโt devoted much of his adult life to serving the United States would be a lie.
His service happened. His sacrifices happened. His character was built long before todayโs headlines. We should support his purpose.
Someone in PA just got 20 years for molesting four girls.
There is evidence that tRump molested and RAPED dozens (hundreds?) of boys and girls yet he's never been arrested. And sits in the Oval Office with unlimited support. Don't tell me two-tier justice doesn't exist.
When a Nigerian born nun is being picked up by ICE on her way to mass in Texas, you know it was never about "violent criminals," just the color of someone's skin.

My husband is busting his ass today in a steel mill in 90+ degree heat 60 hours a week all summer long and Iโll be at my job on July 4 at the hospital while you enjoy your holiday you starchy shirted jackass. Tell me we donโt work as hard as you.
He wore the uniform.
He knew the law.
He knew the prison time.
He stepped onto the Capitol steps and said: IMPEACH Trump.
They arrested him. Not because he was wrongโbecause he was loud.
Courage isn't safe. It's standing up when silence is cheaper.
History won't forget...
