Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon for the good of the country. Hopefully, when we have a Democratic congress and President the party will have the wisdom to move on to governing on behalf of the people and stop pressing for sound bites and vengeance.
Words matter. Either side of the isle, authoritarian, Nazi, existential threat to democracy, and resist in your messaging reminds me of the French Resistance. I am not a fan of Trump but time to have civil discorse.
@Cappyarmy Agreed. Never forget the first resistance against the Mullahs was in 1981. Three years after the 1979 revolution. We are witnessing a state in it's last throes of terror.
@Cappyarmy Drones will continure to be persistant threat against the GCC and the Straight of H. Time to trade the Ukrainians whatever they need for anti-drone tech and anti drone systems. I predict we have 72 hours to get the Straight of H open.
@MichelephantHil@sarahadams@MaxAbrahms Who would imagine the UAE, Jordan, The Kingdom, Israel and the US would strike Iran. A sign of just how much Iran is a force of destabilization. About time!
@ProudElephant Absolutely. He seems to be the adult in the room and his policy moves, and experience would return us to elected presidents who are actually prepared to lead the country.
Marco Rubio has shown that he is an adult when it comes to advancing US interests in the world. His policies, comments, speeches, and execution have been a refreshing change from the decades of failed US policies under both parties.
In 1954, Joseph Welch posed this question to Senator Joesph McCarthy; "Have you left no sense of decency, sir? My question to congress would be; "Have you no sense of shame? You have the power, authority, and constitutional duty to serve all the American people. Now is the time.
No government shutdown. No pay. No leaving Washington DC. No other agenda items. One precondition. The Feds stop arresting people and the protesters take a break. Make congress do it's job.
We should demand at "Stay at Work Until Day" of the US congress. Immigration law is broken, everyone agrees. Ever single member of the Senate and House of Representatives must stay at work until comprehensive Immigration reform is drafted, debated, and signed into law.
