2 pictures you will never see in a Trump family album. Me leaving for Afghanistan and saying goodbye to my 5 month old daughter. She would be 15 months old and walking by the time I got home. There’s not a single Trump that has experienced this.
Gripen for the win.
Rumours there will be a mixed fleet of fighter aircraft.
Lets face it, they have to pander to the crybabies.
Lets put some thought into this.
They pretend the F-35 is stealth. Lets humour them.
The F-35 can't have its radar on or else enemies would see it.
So it won't be able to secretly shoot

Just a little spying on the average American. Nothing to see here. 🤣

Everyone can change for the better. I’d definitely be proud to walk alongside someone, like him, who can see the error of their ways and makes the efforts to redeem themselves.
He spent decades helping bring the right to power, but now he's in the clergy's fight against ICE

As a veteran I normally don’t like honours being given to civilians. However, this man dedicated his life to helping other veterans and in the end lost his life trying to protect someone. He deserves this and more IMHO.

And before any naysayers tell this account that boycotts don’t work, ask Jim Bean and Jack Daniels how the boycott with is Canadians is going for them. It works.
Reminder:

Boycott Target, Boycott Home Depot, Boycott Starbucks.

If you can't do these simple things, then you don't really care, and you DEFINITELY shouldn't be yelling at Democrats to "dO sOmEtHiNg!" when you can't do the simplest effective things yourself.

Put your money where your mouth is.

Thank you Sir Rod Stewart.

He mentions parents, and rightfully so. Lot of us were parents ourselves. I’d like you all to meet my friend. MCpl Joshua Brian Roberts KIA Spin Pir, Afghanistan, Aug 09 2008. The son he never got to meet will graduate high school this year.

US congressman railing against NATO while talking to a literal, paid, Russian useful idiot. We are living in the twilight zone.
Rep. Greg Steube: "You see Macron and the French sending troops to Greenland. I would love to see the US military up against French troops in Greenland, because it would not last very long. It would be a very small skirmish ... we don't care about what Macron and the French want."

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Canada would lose 159 soldiers, ~2000 wounded in Afghanistan. We would also lose 23 troops in the Balkans on IFOR/SFOR. Canada would sustain the highest casualties out of NATO troops there. We would also lose scores more when we got home and they continued to fight their wars.

I’ll remember them

You know how everyone keeps telling maga they will eventually turn on them. This line here that terrorism stemming from “class-based or economic grievances.” Is now a leading threat makes it easier to brand anyone and everyone a terrorist and, is trumps fav, enemy of the “people”

This guys cooled. The US is the only to cal ALL of the non article 5 missions in the Balkans and the only art 5.
Trump on NATO: "We never ask for anything, and we never got anything. We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force, where we would be frankly unstoppable. But I won't do that. Okay?"

Why is this guy not getting impeached for being a strait up fucking toddler.
JFC.

Trump is now blaming his bullying and demands to be given Greenland on not being awarded the Nobel Prize. Why should he be nice when they're being so mean to him and not giving him the prize he insists he deserves.

Biggest human trafficking ring happening right under everyone’s noses.
This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.

ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

This guy obviously has no clue how NATO is funded. The US has called on NATO more than any other ally.
WELKER: Is Greenland or NATO more vital to natl security?

BESSENT: That's obviously a false choice

W: Not to European leaders

B: They will come around & understand they need to be under the US security umbrella. What would happen in Ukraine if the US pulled support? The whole thing would collapse

Seen this guy post on threads. Unfortunately can’t find it. He was talking all big and tough. Look at him now 🤣

Translation: how dare Canada not submit to our bullying.

This guy should be rotting in prison right now.
