"My family pays $1200 a month in insurance premiums" Well, guess who did that, you delusional dipshit?

Does the stupid twat not realize that entitlement spending (medicare, medicaid, food stamps, section 8, welfare) dwarfs defense spending? But it's never enough, apparently.

No kidding. She's probably too young and dumb to realize that before Obamacare, insurance was actually affordable and reasonable.

Remember those pics of the horrible looking meals our sailors were supposedly getting?

Can't hate the media enough.

Consider the photographs first. The primary image circulating on 𝕏 and amplified by accounts like
@sentdefender, which describes itself as an open-source intelligence monitor focused on Europe and global conflicts, purports to show food served to American sailors during the operation. A basic reverse image search on Google reveals that at least one of the photographs had been circulating online since at least 2017, and the imagery appears to trace back to the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s. This is not a subtle error. It is not a case of mislabeled metadata or an honest mistake about which ship generated the photograph. It is a decades-old image of food from a foreign conflict being presented, without any apparent verification effort, as contemporary evidence of US Navy conditions. Any first-year journalism student knows that reverse image search is a baseline verification step, one that takes roughly 30 seconds and requires no specialized training. The drive-by media outlets that published these images either skipped that step deliberately or could not be bothered to perform it. Neither explanation is flattering, and one of them is far more sinister.

Surely, the hypocrisy is obvious to everyone by this point, right?

Right?

It’s obvious to half of us.

None of this will be settled without fighting. I just don’t see how when they continually seek corruption, exploitation of the justice system, and are just, generally, a bunch of disagreeable assholes who repeatedly wish death upon us.

I have been saying this for a few years now. I hate that it has come to this, but it has. We just can't coexist anymore. It's culturally impossible.

Dude, it makes me sick. The sane members of the democrat party need to take back hold of the reins, and tell the progressive minority to STFU and sit tf down. And then move a little back towards center. My fear is, they will stand by and let them continue to call the shots and treat every subsequent republican candidate as an iteration of Trump,I.e., reacting with the same hysteria and irrationality. May be the new norm.

I fear there are a lot of Rs that will continue to do this, as well. I fear they will have to choose real sides at some point in the future. I obviously hope not, but I'm not sure there is an alternative at this point.
