Viral? There is nothing about this doing anything on socialmedia other than your propaganda.

He's my Senator, and a self-serving shill. He had a chance to stand up for what was right with the appointment of Hegseth, Gabbard, and Patel, and he failed the most basic test of a representative of the people who had sworn to uphold the constitution. He's a disgrace.

For clarity, the point I'm attempting to make is that without morality and selfless service in our society none of us would have the privilege, let alone opportunity, for anything close to self-investment. It's a luxury we benefit from built on the backs and blood of our fellow citizens.

Although I appreciate your intent and advice, I must point out the exclusion of morality and service in your statement. Although self-investment is a key pillar of a successful life, by leaving out a moral compass and service to others you're unintentionally degrading those pillars in our society.

Please stop posting things like this. It's misleading, and I know that's not your intent.
I support you highlighting commercial airline incidents seeing as they are a reflection of general aviation safety for the average American. Incidents with private pilots are a reflection of individual pilots.

The article should be titled "Ignorant racists who don't know the source material hijack the media to rant about complete made up shit"

Here's a Pew survey showing the political side. Although it doesn't represent social views, you can see the political liberal and independent trend among younger soldiers. Even among my service member friends that tend to support Republicans, when it comes to social issues they are very open minded.

I'm not sure if you'd be surprised to know, but a majority of younger service members tend to lean socially liberal or independent. However, they tend not to vote in numbers had high as the older generations. In the unit I recently deployed with a majority were more socially liberal or independent

This literally a post about service member impacts, who are part of the federal government, and you're trying to shame people and calling them stupid because they're not posting in the right place? Like I said, do you know what thread you're posting in?

This is the most dangerous thing to happen in federal law enforcement since Herbert Hoover and Nixon. Kash Patel is not only unqualified, he is dishonest, a documented liar, and lawless based on his own repeated comments.
I'm incredibly disgusted the GOP will not grown a spine and do what's right.

There was absolutely now reason to shudder the CFPB. They are one of the few agencies that actually gives the American people a positive return on investment and deters abuse by predatory financial organizations.

Stop "both-siding" your coverage. Have some dignity. Your headline should have been "Senator Ted Cruz misrepresents science research for political gains". The truth matters.

Second, comparing a Glock to military automatic weapons is disingenuous at best, and intentionally misleading at worst. You cannot compare the firepower of military weapons with a modified pistol.

First, it is impossible for a Glock to fire 1200 rounds a minute. It would not only melt the barrel shooting far fewer rounds than that, it would have a mechanical failure or jam long before that.
This is another example of a blatant lie for dramatic effect. The public deserves better than that.

From the article: ""Once installed, Glock switches allow pistols to fire up to 1,200 rounds per minute – a rate as fast as, or faster than, many fully automatic firearms and machine guns used by the United States military," the AG’s office said."

That sad part about this is that there are still thousands of service members living in moldy dilapidated quarts around the globe harming their health while billions are wasted in the DoD budget #DepartmentOfDefense #SoldiersFirst

For those unfamiliar with military culture, this will play well with a large portion of service members, not just the conservative media. It's a smart play on his part.

Now I'm not a fan of the name Fort Liberty. The name was a compromise between SF and the 82nd since they couldn't agree on a name. It should have been names Fort Benavidez after Roy Benavidez, a true American badass. But to rename it with a wink and a nod back to Bragg is an insult and forced.

Second, and the most absurd, this needless change will cost tens of millions of taxpayer dollars. Signs, stationary, business cards, coins, gear, memorabilia, and on and on will all now 1) need to be discarded and 2) replaced. We're talking changing thousands of things that cost money.

If you don't know about this incredibly incompetent asshole, his Wikipedia page is a good place to start. For those that don't know, Fort Liberty / Fort Bragg is the home of both SOF and the 82nd Airborne, all well as a number of other units. to name it after a traitor was an insult.
