Trump’s Department of State sending our national stockpile of PPE to China in February is one thing. But not directing companies to replenish that stockpile and then falsely accusing President Obama for leaving him with nothing is lying negligence almost to the point of treason.
More American troops are now in the Middle East than at the end of President Obama’s term. The rate of drone strikes is up, too.
President Trump is not ending wars; he’s expanding them. He’s not bringing troops home; he’s sending them there.
In covering US wars, I've been in foxholes and VA hospitals, on medic choppers and patrols. Brave Americans serve their nation, not political parties. The accusation that somehow one party supports the enemy is a debasement of everything that should define us as a country.
When it comes to war, we see talking heads on television and graphics and maps. But on the ground the truth of war always is one of blood and tragedy. My prayers are with those in harm’s way and for a cooling of the passions of escalation.
This Media Post will serve as a reminder that war powers reside in the Congress under the United States Constitution. And that you should read the War Powers Act. And that you’re not a dictator.
With respect to my colleagues attempting to shut down any witnesses to the impeachment trial, I have this to say:
Trials have witnesses... cover ups don’t.
Donald Trump's day so far:
- This dumb motherfucker got our military attacked
- US troops under attack at Al Asad base
- PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS
- This isn't #IranvsUSA – it's Iran vs Trump
- Get this stupid fuck out of office now
- Trump is going to prison
- It's still only 7:50pm
