Yes, on June 8 1967 Israeli jets and torpedo boats attacked the USS Liberty in international waters during the Six-Day War. The assault lasted roughly 75-90 minutes, killing 34 Americans and wounding 171. Israel immediately claimed mistaken identity in the fog of war, citing communication failures and misidentification of the clearly marked US ship. Official US Navy and Israeli inquiries concluded it was a tragic accident, not deliberate. Israel apologized and paid compensation. The event remains debated by some survivors.
After a two week vacation when the Senate took drastic measures to prevent Trump from making any recess appointments, they finally reconvened at 3 pm and what did they accomplish?
They agreed to vote tomorrow on 2 judicial nominees, approved a “Mental Health Awareness in Agriculture Day”, and passed a resolution honoring former U.S. Senator Donald W. Riegle Jr. That it. That’s all they did and they adjourned at 6:27 pm.
They go on vacation for two weeks, set a return time of after 3 pm, clock out a few hours later, and call it a day. This is what we pay them for? This is how they earn lifetime pensions?
We don’t hate our own government enough but specifically @LeaderJohnThune@SenateGOP
Vote them all out!
@nicksortor Would it make any sense at all for Iran to do this? Isn’t it curious that this attack happened right after Trump ripped Bibi? This has Israel all over it.
@RepMikeRogersAL Isn’t it enough that we fight their wars, give them billions of dollars every year? Now you want to give them direct access to our military? This is treason.
