So, Republicans want to get rid of Muslims and immigrants, but Trump and Republicans also want to take Saudi and Qatari money and are fine with selling American property and businesses to Gulf Muslims.

Cool, got it.

Even if the incident CAUSED BY THE DEMENTED DESPOT and MAGA REGIME had not happened, this regime would renege on the promises made to the Afghan people and hand them over to the Taliban

This is what MAGA does

Thank you.
Do not punish all Afghan people for the deranged actions of one individual.

"Justo" is harvesting lettuce in Madera County CA. He labors 6 days a week, working 8-10 hrs shifts. "It's hard repetitive work. We have to be bent over all the time. We cut the lettuce clean off the extra leaves bag it and put it in a box. I earn minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

I am heartbroken by the tragic news that two National Guard members were shot near the White House today. My thoughts are with the families and everyone affected as we learn more. This kind of senseless violence has no place in our country.

Rumor is even GOP House members are sick of being treated like potted plants, with many more threatening early departure.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

D.C. Shooter was CIA asset and appears to have done exactly what Trump, Miller and Homan would want.

At Law Dork overnight, I wrote about Wednesday's shooting of two National Guard troops — their presence, the shooting, and Trump's response.

Quite simply, all of it is wrong. The troops shouldn't have been in DC, violence is unacceptable, and "more troops" is not the answer.
The two shot National Guard troops never should have been in DC. More troops is no answer.
The violence is horrible and unacceptable. Trump, Pete Hegseth, and West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey never should have put the troops in this position.

🇮🇷Khamenei:

"During the twelve-day conflict, the United States faced severe setbacks — significant setbacks.

It deployed its most advanced military technology: submarines, fighter jets, and cutting-edge missile defense systems, yet it failed to accomplish its goals".

Wishing the injured National Guard a full recovery. No one signs up to be used as political pawns.

Nov 20 - a judge ruled Trump’s deployment was illegal. The court blocked him from sending troops into the District, with a 21 day pause for appeal.

Bottom line: the Guard shouldn’t have been in DC.
