“Renowned historian Timothy Snyder leveled two explosive accusations against President Donald Trump: that his proposed 50% defense budget increase could be a bribe to secure military loyalty for a coup attempt, and that a staged domestic terror attack is his best remaining path to nullifying elections.” - Daniel Hampton

Up to 20 other highly trained U.S. military personnel in harm’s way looking for this officer as the FOTUS posts about fucking oil.

In my years of adulting, there have been times I’ve been embarrassed to be an American; the trials and tribulations of having a young family during most of the Reagan presidency’s crap comes to mind. Thing is, though, even Ronald Reagan appreciated the value of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. This shit’s REALLY embarrassing because while I am NO fan of the Iranian regime, I can’t help but think they - and everyone else - are laughing their asses off at the FOTUS.

“We’re coming back from the shelter, and the whole ride he just kept looking at me like this—eyes full of confusion, as if he wasn’t sure what was happening. I could see the uncertainty, maybe even fear, but also the tiniest flicker of hope.

He probably thinks he’s headed to another place, another cage, another lonely night. But what he doesn’t know yet is that this time, it’s different. This ride is taking him home.” - We Are Rescuer
