I also was told that my entire time growing up, in school and throughout my career. I don't need to be a "lady." F that.

Yeah, because those soldiers who died just made it easy. So messed up.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

Opinion | Trump Is the Anti-Trump

This whole "he ended wars" is a joke.

I agree. They have no idea of the hornets' nest they have kicked and released into the world now, with a focus on retribution against US specifically.

The fact that he is looking down while walking instead of ahead is not a good sign. He is declining rapidly.

I just saw that. They are actively creating new radical enemies.

I thought that exactly!
And he is always fluffing out his suit jacket, as shown in this photo.

It will surely work as well to have the son of the person he killed in charge of Iran.

Everyone knows that DJT can be easily manipulated if you flatter him, give him a fake award or promise him money. It is a national security iss.

I'm sorry to hear this. I thought your articles were on point.

Except they are spending our tax money to do it, not their salaries. And they have no shame in doing that because they don't think there will be any accountability.

Trump said it was "like a movie." This isn't real to him. They refuse to see the lives affected and destroyed by their war "games."

Former CIA agent would like to share his knowledge about our current situation.

I hope this means we no longer have to see her face or watch that endless vanity video while waiting in line at TSA now.

Doesn't he fall asleep anytime now if he doesn't hear his name being mentioned over and over?

Yes, so very true. It isn't an easy path even with family support. It is so much harder without that family support and understanding.
And to be attacked by people who know nothing about any of it? Cruel beyond measure.

I could not agree more. If you knew some of their stories, you would be astonished what some trans kids go through to get through HS and college.
My son was an RA, and he personally helped many students. He freely shared the resources he had to help others. We all should do the same.

It is evil - especially against children. Trans people want to live their lives in the best way possible and be with people who love and care about them.
Let them live their lives without harassment. Why is their life anyone else's business?

It is astonishing that we have to suffer through this BS again after everything that happened before.
I blame him for my father's death in May '20. He was physically strong yet died 10 days later. It was mishandled from the start.

It sits on the same shelf as the FIFA Peace Prize.
She deserves to banned from ever being involved in government again. I heard
they are trying to prevent her from running against someone else in SD.
