This is getting out of hand.
It's weird that so many of these native born Americans are blind to what makes the United States appealing to those who choose to make it their home.
Rep. Kat Cammarck: "Today, one in six people in the US is foreign born. That quite frankly is not sustainable to maintain a culture that we are known for here in the United States."

The silver lining is that the White House and the DOD have hung the head of JSOC out to dry so quickly and enthusiastically that nobody will do war crimes for them anymore.

He would have said the exact same thing about the Epstein discharge petition.
This guy is just allergic to doing the work of leadership, and messaging to shape public opinion.
His strengths are only living proximate to millionaires and billionaires to fundraise, then dole out funds to the caucus.

At least nine elected Republicans in Indiana have been the target of swatting attacks in the weeks since President Trump publicly pressured state lawmakers to pass new congressional maps that would benefit Republicans.

It's surprisingly easy to trick people into thinking something that's none of their business is actually both the opposite and important and I don't think we'll be able to resolve our present condition until we figure this out.

one of the problems I have with Democrats (and other critics) labeling these "war crimes" is that it accepts the underlying claim that the people being murdered are enemy combatants. They're not! it's just murder!
Fox News' Joey Jones justifies the US military killing survivors after an initial boat strike: "An enemy combatant does not have to have a gun to be a danger or a threat... if you leave anybody alive, they can signal and let others know what’s happening and they can also retaliate through radio."
