When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.

I know the orange pedophile administration has normalized corruption in the United States government, but the IOC has been making a ‘sport’ out of it for decades.
1) IOC voting member Shamil Tarpischev of Russia receiving a medal for his "work" from his boss, Putin.
2) IOC President & Kremlin asset Kirsty Coventry of Zimbabwe reporting for duty after her handler Tarpischev secured the minimum votes for her to win, no doubt through bribery.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
