random thought from this thread: in the garden of beasts is a great book and a little insight into what motivates people to become ambassadors as well

Also a great book to read first hand accounts of how a democracy can fail at the hands of a populist blowhard with nothing but simple answers for the masses while good men sit idly by watching it happen.

It all goes back to the GOP belief that if you're a member of the armed forces serving our country, or a veteran, you simply can do no wrong, no matter how much evidence and testimony is against you. Unless, of course, you publicly criticize the GOP and its policies or criticize Dear Leader in any way, or point out things that Dear Leader is doing that's unlawful or harming our country. Then you're a worthless liar and maybe a secret agent for a foreign government, like Vindman.

Is warfighter a new term?

Is warfighter a new term?

No, it's been around a while. Just another way of saying soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines.

Is warfighter a new term?

i believe it's the military's preferred nomenclature. like calling a helicopter or ship or gun a "weapons platform"

Hmm a child of a politician getting something based off their last name? Surely not with the Trumps.

Nope, this isn't who you thought it was at first glance...

Are you sure that's Rudy's kid? He looks a lot like a Trump.

Yeah. He doesn’t look like Rudy at all.

OMG, that is totally the same guy who was the fat kid mugging at Rudy's swearing in ceremony way back when.

 

[bcobbdeacs]

Think he was at Duke on golf team but after his junior year coach dismissed him from team because of his behavior.

And the 1996 World Series celebration, IIRC.
