We build bases of foreign soil. They foster a security relationship with the host nation, and puts our people closer to the threat.

I dont think we've had a foreign military base here since the Revolutionary war.

Can anyone explain to me how the US is made safer by building a Qatari airforce base in out heartland?

There are no foreign bases on our soil. Big shift from past security strategy.

Just a parking space for their bribe to POTUS?

Congress didn't work all august. Didn't talk to each other in September, and now they have a paid vacation during a shutdown for all this month.

Then we're going into the Holiday Blitz until January when many are out on earned PTO on top of the holidays.

They trying to sleep until the election?

Republicans care about your health care? Yeah, right.

Right now, Donald Trump and Republican leaders would rather keep the government closed than figure out a solution to save your health care. Watch what they do, not what they say.

This guy would speedrun it faster Stalin. He is thought to be responsible for as many as 60 million deaths in his 29-year tenure.

This cretin could blow that total away in whatever little time he has left if he stays on course.

Sorry, it's October. I think those kinds of pranks get a free pass.

I bet incitement of terror to the entirety of the Fox Media audience could really be a lot in damages.

Maybe Jesse's short tenure is over? One can dream.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

Members of the U.S. Congress continue to get paid during furlough. Most of their staff don't and cannot be on premises.

Weak shit right there. Imagine the kind of conversation that could happen if congress was all in the room together without the Heritage Foundation ghouls?

My Grandpa says it is necessary because the Philistines need to leave the Holy Land. I couldn't disagree more.

That looks like the safest, cheapest, and most logical way to try and move people. /s

By the way, how much of our money has been supplying this war? $22 Billion?

~70k Palestinians dead so far
>95% displaced
~160k wounded
~50,000 malnourished kids

I took to the floor of the Senate tonight to talk about War Powers, how President Trump is using a well-worn authoritarian playbook and how nobody gets to rewrite the Constitution.

Not a President. Not an advisor. No one.

If the annual cost goes up as much as we fear, I may just opt out of the private plan, get what I can through the VA, and cross my fingers on the rest.

Or my union will have a discussion with our employer.
