lol, look at that old fart posturing at the challenger. He knows his time is over and he's afraid. Go the way of the dinosaur already, fatso. Make way for a fighting right wing force.

Oscar Nominated Clip from New Jersey Senator Cory Booker.



Maybe we should call him Mr. Rosario Dawson instead.

I liked Judge Brown's tear wipe as well. She looked halfway bored/embarrassed the whole time so that really helped break the awkwardness.

His whole spiel seems pre-rehearsed to me. Just a thought. :unsure:

In any case, no doubt as to where Booker's sympathies lie.

Booker is an asshat looking to be the center of attention.

Every now and then he gets his wish, and we all realize, again, what a fucking moron he really is.

Sometimes, I wonder about what the cooperation-to-mutiny ratio under the Biden administration will be, if he (or his handlers) blunders us into a war we can't win...

lets see he's openly disrespected the men to their faces on multiple occasions, he's fucked with their pay, and he regularly shoves woke bullshit down their throats that makes their lives more tedious.

And this is really the case with most security forces that the democrats deal with as elites go they treat the people who actually enforce shit like shit. And then there was the way he fucked up afganistan which man....that publically humilated the armed forces and is one of those things they don't forgive.

It depends on how bad it gets but the relationship is already bad.

Wonder how Biden will make it worse between now and 2024, then?

The troops may be expected to follow (legal) orders, but somehow, I suspect there’s a breaking point we’ll reach some time in the near future. :unsure:

The thing is, you have plenty of them who are true believers as far as the woke bullshit and social justice and all that. The old Commandant from right after I'd gotten out of AFROTC is one of those now. He's retired now, thankfully, because all I see from his Facebook anymore is leftist propaganda. I had real respect for him, too.

You also have the "good soldiers follow orders" types.

Good soldiers have to be paid and fed and given at least some respect.

All relationships are based on give and take, you forget that at your peril.

No, they have the USMJ to make sure no matter how bad the military and domestic situation is, there will always be MPs and JAG officers there to make sure anything that could threaten cohesiveness of the chain of command can be legally neutralized.

To the military the USMJ is more practically powerful, important, and impactful on their lives, compared to the Constitution, and if the two documents conflict, it's the latter that will be ignored more than the former.

There is no repentance in their at all, just blame deflection and more denial about his part in the suppression of the story.

If Jack really wanted to repent sincerely, he should help Musk buy out the company by selling his shares to Musk directly, and then actually start admitting he fucked up the Hunter story out of election year bias against Trump.

I suspect it's more that Jack, now that he's no longer at the center point of an enormous amount of cultural and political pressure, has only started to recognize and face what he was a part of.

Give it time, and we'll see if he has the guts to fully face it, or if he chickens out again and goes back to the party line.
