It took 20 years of a bipartisan consensus in spending American blood and treasure in an unconstitutional military intervention to evolve into the necessary but messy withdrawal from Afghanistan. Those responsible for this need to exit public service.

Or Obama, who talked about having the judgment not to intervene in the Gulf Region but didn't do a damn thing to withdraw.... He also had the "judgment" to organize drone kill lists in other countries and intervene in Libya and elsewhere.

Wow. Scheller committed career suicide. Anyone who has ever joined the military (I did earlier in life) know what Scheller did here was illegal and immoral. He has his rights at the ballot box, but inserting himself into politics, in uniform, is so out of the box... https://t.co/AUTq2p8a9x

Trump's order for Vindman not to testify was manifestly self-serving, corrupt and illegal. Vindman is a hero for sacrificing his career to testify to the truth about Trump's unconstitutional, impeachable misconduct. Trump should have been impeached over retaliation.

What is this leftist obsession with having the Senate Minority Leader condemn red state governors? When did the leftists go after political whores like Nursing Home Killer Cuomo (other than for metoo crimes), Newsom, or Whitmer?

This right-wing comparison between Scheller and Vindman is beyond disingenuous. Vindman didn't go public on social media; he followed whistleblower policy in reporting misconduct. Scheller was venting political views in uniform, contrary to published policy for military members.

Al Gore lost. Matter of fact. Bush won two statewide objective machine counts. The fact is the disputed ballots were released and counted by independent journalists later and they confirmed Bush's victory. Gore tried to reverse the election through unconstitutional manipulation.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) September 1, 2021
Nope. The morally corrupt sore loser Gore lost 7-2 on the salient point of singling out Dem-controlled precincts to try to reverse the outcome. Journalists later confirmed Bush's victory on released ballots.
