Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

The one woman in the group, Anne KayKaty, is a freaking school counsellor. Or she was, at least. Seems to have disappeared very quickly from the school's website. Had to find her on the Wayback Machine:

Gov. Scott is calling on Republican Vermont State Sen. Samuel Douglass to resign after polarizing messages from a national group chat were leaked.

Douglass is allegedly in that chat and contributed to conversations involving racial stereotypes. #Trump #GOP www.mynbc5.com/article/scot...

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

It sure is interesting how the ages of these “Young Republicans” keeps dropping. The members are as old as 40 years old. Young Republicans are ages 18-40. FORTY.

JD is 41.
