What to know about me: facts matter. I choose who I follow based on whether I can trust the information they put out. People make mistakes and can be duped by misinformation. Don't follow me if you can't handle a correction I make to your post based on facts and I present you with evidence.

A First Lady working hand in hand with a kidnapper and a bomber of schools and hospitals... incredible

STRANGER DANGER! What else should be expected from people protecting pedophiles though?

The top row are the ones I send emails nearly weekly telling them how horrific something(s) they did that week was. One time Lee responded back with a basement troll type response. I let him have it for that. Not with my tax $$$ you don't.

From the guy whose war Trump promised to end on Day 1. How's that peace going Donny?

I hope every scientist, doctor, lab assistant working on projects to better humanity who lost their jobs/funding can move to where they can continue their work. Important things were happening and the world needs them.

One small step forward: FOX finally acknowledges that Russia kidnapped Ukrainian children. maybe next Melania can convince them that Russia is the aggressor in the war and it is entirely their fault.

Doesn't dictator Putin only allow his oligarchs to have as much wealth as he allows them to have not to exceed his own? In fact I think all dictators operate that way. Why do they think it's going to end any differently for them when they transform our democracy?

Take note America: Republicans first target isn't only to take away your ability to afford healthcare but to eliminate any healthcare overall by "reduction-in-force" (RIF) the CDC. MAGA the pro-death party.

Nope - it's just a facility aka a building to train out of. It began under Biden in 2023. www.af.mil/News/Article...

Your ChatGBT contradicted itself in this post. Strictly under U.S. control - never on a foreign base. That means it's on a U.S. base whether here in the U.S. or on a U.S. base in another country. Nobody is better at detecting spying & sabotage than the very U.S. military providing the training.

Misinformation. Qatar is getting a facility on Mt. Home AFB to learn how to fly F-15s. A lot of countries come here for training. This has been in work for awhile (read near the end about Mt. Home) www.af.mil/News/Article...

Qatar is not building a military base here. It's a facility on Mt. Home AFB where they are going to learn how to fly F-15s. Lots of countries have come here for training and this has been in work for awhile (read near the end about Mt. Home) www.af.mil/News/Article...

Are you really quoting Hegseth believing he actually knows what he's saying? A facility at an AFB is a building out of which to operate - like a hangar. This has been planned for awhile (read towards the end about Mt. Home). www.af.mil/News/Article...

The people trained by the USAF undergo rigorous background checks; that doesn't happen with a private instructor who teaches any person off the street how to fly like what you referenced. As I explained to someone else - it's safer for the U.S. to make them our allies than to have them as enemies.

Willow2 @tswillow2.bsky.social · 2d

I didn't like it either, but the thought process is that it's safer for the U.S. to make allies out of them so they want to work with us rather than be their enemy and risk more 9/11 type attacks.

You know this is all about abortion/stem cell research and the use of placentas. Old habits from their abortion talking points. We lost years of stem cell research during Bush's ban because of this.

Willow2 @tswillow2.bsky.social · 2d

F-15s are really old and no competition for our allies or our own aircraft like the F-35. F-15s would be used against terrorist organizations like ISIS/ISIL in countries surrounding Qatar. If you hate this you'll really hate finding out the Saudis have been training here & us there for years.

You know what is a literal "sinkhole" - subsidizing the oil companies for the last 100 years. Record profits and any time they threaten to raise gas prices, boom, they get more subsidies.

I already responded to someone regarding my mistake of saying 'unitarian' versus 'unitary'. I would disagree regarding your other statement. Many people mistake authoritarianism with authority, & believe they should follow directions given by authorities. Fascism isn't confused for anything else.

They aren't giving them an airbase. They will have a facility at Mt. Home AFB to work out of to learn to fly F-15s. It's common to allow other countries to come here to learn the aircraft they are buying. Sheppard AFB in TX is a normal location but they are probably full up with F-22 and F-35 folks.
