Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.
Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.
Employees working in the Pentagon food court are able to walk the building unescorted.
Also, while reporters have walked the building unescorted for decades, this administration has never offered any examples of this resulting in leaked classified info to justify this policy.
No evidence ever has been presented of reporters obtaining classified information while roaming the halls of the Pentagon.
Those halls, I would add, are unclassified spaces routinely visited by tourists, foreign military personnel, etc.
Classified spaces at the Pentagon are locked -- as one would expect.
Watching Fox News assure viewers the Iran war is going SUPER well and Trump is a total stud is like watching the same network assure viewers that Dominion Voting Systems rigged the 2020 election and Trump was the winner.
This is getting our troops killed. Period. Ukraine has been battling Iranian and Russian drones for 4 years and it appears our military has been completely unprepared. This is the fault of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. Hegseth has been obsessed with his asinine culture wars and not preparing our military for modern war. He must resign.
I knew and worked with Bob Mueller. I didn’t always agree with him, but he was a Patriot who never said no to his country’s call for service. To speak this way about any veteran is reprehensible; especially so when you are the Commander-in-Chief. Shame on the President.
So Trump says ‘he can take Cuba…. He can do anything he wants’.
His team says ‘Cuba’s President has to stand down.’
Do Republicans in Congress know this is nuts?
Should we allow Presidents to take military action against seven countries without consulting Congress?
Should a President threaten NATO if they don’t join an out of area. naval action to force combat passage of the Straits?
And now here we are.. Trump starts a war without congressional approval or approval from the majority of Americans, but now we have to pay the full bill for whatever he decides he wants to do because it would be unpatriotic not to let Trump do whatever he wants with our money.
Just so we're clear, the number of Americans who approve of Trump's Iran war is 27%.
So we're also clear, the number of Americans who approved of the Vietnam War at its end in 1973-4 was 29%.
