This is so offensive and wrong especially when the country is at war. The last thing we need is a Jan 6th insurrectionist cos-playing a news reporter at the pentagon.

No Democratic President ever used the SOTU to vilify and dehumanize the entire Republican Party the way Trump has against the Dems.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

nursesonja • 7h & Threads Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight.
