Part 2, with more from the veteran. Please note that security is perp walking the Marine out of the hearing WITH HIS BROKEN ARM TWISTED BEHIND HIS BACK.

I don’t really know what to say. That veteran is incredibly brave. That senator is a fascist piece of shit. This is…shit. Idk what else to say right now. I’m glad it was recorded.

Imagine serving as a Marine and then being injured at home, on purpose, by a sitting Senator while exercising your constitutionally-protected rights.

[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone]

Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.

I'm going to take a wild guess that Comer will either do this one completely publicly to make her sympathetic against those mean Democrats or privately where the members won't snap a creepshot and send it to a Russian influencer. (Or paid by the Russians.)

For six dead soldiers in a war of choice: silence and full‑staff flags.

For a partisan media ally: an immediate nationwide half‑staff order and a multi‑day state‑by‑state show of grief. That’s not β€œrespect for the flag.” That’s a hierarchy of whose lives this government thinks are worth mourning.

Listening to Trump's clowns say that people who question his war with Iran aren't patriots reminds me of when I, as a combat-Marine who served under Reagan, Bush 1, and Clinton, was called unpatriotic and a traitor because I said Bush 2 had no idea what he was doing and we should wait for more info.

He will probably build another resort. That's probably why he went to war with Iran in the first place-to protect his future Gaza Resort.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Argument being made that Iran started the war, unconventionally, by its use of proxies.
Fine. But Israel has been the America’s proxy since WWII, so on the basis the US still started it.

β–  It's the basic question. Bullets or Butter?

β–  Democrats go for butter. They embrace working class need for affordability for food, housing and healthcare

β–  Republicans go for bullets. More money for the military which feeds the defense industry with more profits.

β–  A clear choice for voters.

Its a war
It’s not a war
it’s a strategic strike
We were defending
It’s a war
It’s a special military exercise
It’s a defensive operation

Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war.

War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.

I need to stress something here:

The US destroying Iran’s navy is about as impressive as prime Michael Jordan dunking on a toddler.

I know the administration needs something to brag about, but this outcome was literally never in question.

Bunch of Senators on both sides sounding the alarm about possible boots on the ground in Iran after their classified briefing today.

I was told Kamala was going to send my children to fight in Iran. What happened?

I think it's melanoma. Skin cancer. The cream he's using could be the cream used before cutting it out.
