3:05 - Patel needed the FBI jacket so ICE wouldn’t deport him.
The optics of them talking about people dying and him falling asleep because he doesn't give af about any of them is spot on
"The Secretary of Defensiveness." PERFECT DESI👍
An alcoholic that avoids responsibility. Who could have guessed that.
Pete forgot the first rule in the military, as the superior officer you are responsible for those under your command.
I'm sure the troops feel heartened knowing there's a coward at the helm.
The admiral knew that it was an illegal order when he chose to carry it out. He is either a coward or a fool. Neither a coward nor a fool should be in command. Each of these men are responsible for what they did to serve their king.
Love, love Rubio speaking to a sleeping Orange Monster.
Home is where the heart is?!? While they're deporting US citizens??
Who amongst us hasn't thrown a friend under the bus for war crimes once or twice during the holiday season!
