nikibatts's JournalYES! I do NOT want 45 to succeed!
If 45 succeeds, the nation fails.
It fails to live up to our stated values to be open and respectful of all peoples, their rights, their religions.
It fails to embrace a government that SERVES its people, that PROTECTS its people but rather serves and protects the greedy, self-serving, oligarchs from around the world. The oligarchs who have struck deals with people like 45 to buy up US property, businesses, and local governments to serve their own selfish and often corrupt needs and wants.
It fails to care for and build up our most vulnerable citizens by slashing the social safety net that has protected them for the several decades.
It fails in warding off disastrous consequences to our necessary environment its life-sustaining resources.
It utterly fails at being a democracy or even a republic.
And most importantly, it will succeed in becoming the evil we claim to abhor.
The military brass didn't seem to be all that enthused about the speech tonight.
And is it me, or did they look rather disgusted with 45's tribute to the Navy Seal after a while? I saw a brief camera shot of them on about the third applause line.
I thought the rebuttal speech was great. If you want someone to speak to those folks you say
were "forgotten" by the Democrats, this was the right speech, the right tone, by the right person. I think we need to stop bitching about not having a top Dem official give the rebuttal.
First, this was not a STOU.
Second, the plain spoken rebuttal reached the red belt where they live and understand and feel.
This was a welcome change for our new leadership vision. Believe me, the rebuttal to the STOU will be given by a heavy hitter.
This rebuttal wasn't for us. It was for the people we want to join us.
I thought it had been reported that the intel from the Yemen raid was old intel that we already had.
I am trying to find the news reports that came out right after the raid. Help me if you can.
