Would you want your military to be unilaterally defeated by an enemy with some access codes? A general officer who is being blackmailed? A DoD civilian with a gun to their head?

Trump slams House probe into Jan.6 riot as a shame after it asked for his MENTAL HEALTH records from the White House and says 'executive privilege will be defended'

  • Trump slammed the Capitol riot panel Wednesday for demanding White House documents related to his mental health at the time of the January 6 attack
  • 'These Democrats only have one tired trick—political theater—and their latest request only reinforces that pathetic reality,' the former president wrote
  • Requests went to the National Archives for White House for information
  • Also seeking information from the Pentagon on staff changes in the final week
  • Other requests to FBI, Interior Department, and Director of National Intelligence
  • Seeks any resignation letters and 25th Amendment information
  • Targets documents on a variety of officials including Roger Stone, Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio, lawyer Sidney Powell, and lawyer Rudy Giuliani

The entirety of 2020 and 2021 has proven this fact.

My company even mandated masks again a couple weeks ago and the CDC just upgraded our area from substantial to highest transmission level. so weird!

Joe Biden is now the #1 state sponsor of terrorism, giving more arms and material to terrorists than any other person or group.

This is literally the biggest ****-up I can remember during my lifetime. Bigger than Saigon, with more potential for lives lost than 9/11. And the White House is projecting that they simply a) don't know what to do, or b) the thing to do is run away and leave $83 billion in arms and war machinery to a terrorist group.

The biggest thing of all--no heads will roll. There will be no accountability. You put your damn mask on or you'll kill people, while our government openly signs the death warrant of tens of thousands...

Think it's worth reporting the irs to the fbi for funding terrorism?

I find it sickening that money stolen from me is being used to fund terrorists.

Sickening is absolutely the right word.
