Our Military looks to be used to steal a resource from a country that doesn't want to just give it away.
We are the thieves.

This is disturbing as hell. Our immediate family is highly blended and each family member deserves equal respect. All of us are people, trying our best to get on in this world.

This vid needs a lot more airplay. It is spot on, and I am extremely thankful for people like @neguse.house.gov

TACO is NOT building a ballroom.

He is building a bunker.

Booze Allen is not an architecture firm.

It’s a defense contractor.
