@GovPritzker Which is code for are we going to be a country who enforces our own laws or are we going to be the whipping post for the rest of the world to take advantage of.
Nice try Pritzker. Americans believe that in America, we take care of Americans first. We are not the world’s ATM.
@Rep_McBride Your mental illness won’t even accept biological reality, what makes you think the American people care what your mentally unstable opinions are.
Also, wouldn’t Democrats be served by massive tax breaks for Billionaires. Most Billionaires are democrats after all.
@SenMarkKelly I guess we didn’t watch the same state of the union. Of course from your traitorous point of view you were trying to find ways to undermine the GOP and MAGA popularity. You sir, are a joke. A disgrace to the uniform you once wore.
@MarioNawfal That shit was funny. He was trying to make himself relevant again. Instead he was taken out less than 5 minutes in. So glad his district is gone. No Al Green in the 2027 SOTU.
@ThePatriotOasis This is absolutely stunning to watch. And somehow America as a whole is racist or misogynistic or stupid because the minority says so? Gimme a break.
@SenAdamSchiff From the Representative that was censured. From the representative that tried to sell us on the Russia Collusion Hoax. If character matters so much to you, why do you constantly tarnish your own.
@SenWarren The country just received another report that Elizabeth Warren is still not Native American and her credibility is garbage.
Term Limits NOW.
Your voting history speaks much louder than your empty and hollow platitudes. Thank The Lord I am not from Maine and you do not represent me. I would be deeply ashamed to even mention Maine as a home state after your blatant support of Biden and his communist regime, and then turning on the new #MAGA Republican Party.
After careful consideration, I have decided to vote against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for Secretary of Defense. While I appreciate his courageous military service and his ongoing commitment to our servicemembers and their families, I am concerned that he does not have the experience and perspective necessary to succeed in the job.
Our military is under tremendous pressure right now. Active conflicts in the Middle East and Europe combined with escalating threats in the Pacific, all against a backdrop of severe financial challenges and four years of ineffective leadership by the Biden Administration, make this an especially critical time for those who lead our military. The next Secretary of Defense will be responsible for managing a massive bureaucracy that includes nearly three million employees and a budget of nearly $850 billion. In addition, our next Secretary faces long-standing procurement and supply issues that continued to worsen under the Biden Administration.
In sum, the Secretary is going to be facing a number of incredibly complex problems that are going to require highly skilled management ability. I am concerned that Mr. Hegseth does not have the management experience and background that he will need in order to tackle these difficulties. His limited managerial experience involved running two small non-profit organizations that had decidedly mixed results.
I am also concerned about multiple statements, including some in the months just before he was nominated, that Mr. Hegseth has made about women serving in the military. He and I had a candid conversation in December about his past statements and apparently evolving views. I am not convinced that his position on women serving in combat roles has changed.
Women comprise nearly 18 percent of our active-duty military. They continue to make critical and valuable contributions to our national defense. I have long advocated that women who wish to serve in and can meet the rigorous standards of combat roles should be able to do so. And numerous women have proved that they can accomplish this difficult feat.
Currently, thousands of women are serving in combat roles and many others serve in non-combat functions. Their service is essential to the success of our military.
Mr. Hegseth also appears to lack a sufficient appreciation for some of the policies that the military is required to follow because they are codified in the laws of the United States of America. While I understand his points on the importance of up-to-date and workable rules of engagement, our prohibitions against torture come from American laws and treaties ratified by the United States, including the Geneva Conventions.
Therefore, I will vote against the nomination.
Attention, @Trumpertarian and other concerned citizens:
Benjamin Martin @OneRealPOV, a pardoned J6er, is being rejailed in Fresno, CA by a rogue judge who refuses to honor the Trump pardon.
He has to report to prison tomorrow. so please get this in front of as many people as possible.
@eagleEdMartin, can you help?
