If we want a better country, we all need to be better citizens.

  1. I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

    Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

  2. The UCMJ says service members “MUST” refuse to obey illegal orders. It isn’t a choice.

    Trump is freaking out because: 1) he’s never even heard of the UCMJ, and 2) he’s absolutely planning on using the military to murder protesters. This is where it’s always been headed.

  3. Remember when we were all about taking down terrorists and the networks that financed them?

    Now they get red carpet treatment at the White House, presidential pardons and investment opportunities with America.

    Times sure have changed.

  4. “Things happen.”

    Jamal Khashoggi was a journalist and Washington Post columnist who was literally murdered and dismembered by agents of the Saudi government inside a Saudi consulate.

    Shameful. So shameful.

    Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

  5. Yeah, everyone knows Saudi Arabia and MBS in particular are deeply committed to “Western values.”

    Rep. Moolenaar on Trump selling F-35s to Saudi Arabia: "I believe the president is bringing different countries into the coalition that would be more aligned with Western values and with respect for national security. I trust his team."
