If Obama had fallen asleep on camera we'd still be hearing about it.

So the President can just use OUR MONEY to kill anyone he wants without our permission? I think people have forgotten who the President works for.

That's great Leadership right there. Throw your Generals and Commanders under the bus after they follow your orders.

Murder is murder and it doesn't matter if it's done by a private citizen or someone under military orders it is still murder. Adding the word authority to the equation does not change the morality of an action.

"Garbage." What a disgusting line of rhetoric. As for Ilhan Omar, I voted for her. I still support her.

Herr Trump and his Nazi's are breaking laws every second of every day .ignoring all responsibility just like ConDon has for 50 years. The lord of loopholes is still laughing at the justice system and the American people. Release of the Epstein files means nothing anything incriminating relating to Con Don will be redacted. Bottom line is Con Don is still here. And everyday Genocide Don and his Gestapo are destroying America in every way. Each day it will get worse and harder to stop. MTG in not and will never be your friend or ally just another diversion How Times have changed. Veterans Day Honored Arned Forces war heroes for great deeds for winning the second World war Defeating Nazi Germany liberating the Concentration camps. Something to be Proud of. Now the Armed Forces are Protecting Genocide Don and his Gestopo sinking fishing boats , aiding Netanyahu's genocide of Gaza , allowing Russia to pummel the Ukraine ,with the help of Ice and the national Guard Terrorize American Citizens of the USA building your own concentration camps, giving safe haven to Con Don’s cronies on your bases . I guess the Usa armed forces will not stand up and eliminate Trump either. The veterans are rolling over in their graves. Con Don has no Peace plan for the Ukraine it is the same as before allow Putin to pummel them into submission with dwindling aid from the USA. He is just in a tizzy because it is taking so long. He gave Putin his blessing to start the war just not while he was in office, so he could come back and be the hero peace maker. Time for the rest of NATO to step up. Same as in Gaza he planned the attack while he was out of office with Netanyahu so he could gain some beach front land. There is no cease fire never was. But of course just about all of the media world wide will never say what is really going on. Because the ones who are brave enough end up dead
