Keeps doing things militarily against what I'm told is the most incredible fighting force in the world...

Trump is killing Americans at home and abroad only to satisfy his need to be a big shot. His ego, that is all that matters to our government anymore. Sad. Actually pathetic.

How anyone could still support or identify with him after what he said about McCain is shocking. But he’s depraved and they love it.

Link is to a CBS article so I take this with a grain of salt since Bari Weiss is a government propagandist.

“…one crew member from the plane was rescued by U.S. forces.”
