That's how many Birtish service members died serving alongside Americans in Afghanistan. Many more suffered life-altering and serious wounds.
I'm deeply ashamed that our abominable President has insulted their sacrifice.

A hideous, unbelievable insult to our allies, who suffered a full third of the war dead in Afghanistan. And this from a soulless swine who knows everything about using his bone spurs to stay all the way back, entirely off the front lines.
Every day, he shames the United States as a nation.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm.
“A review by the editorial board relying on analyses from news organizations shows that Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion.
We know this number to be an underestimate because some of his profits remain hidden from public view. And they continue to grow.”

Jack Smith testifying will be satisfying on one level, but primarily it will be deeply frustrating. Trump should have been prosecuted for J6, should not be President. I think this is mostly on Merrick Garland, who will go down in history for his failure.
