@SmartMAGAguy I believe in America. While we sometimes make mistakes & there's always room for improvement, the USA remains the greatest force for good in the world. I am proud to be an American. I believe that most Americans irrespective of their political beliefs or party, feel the same way.

REPORTER: You have focused on what #Ukraine is giving up. What concessions will #Putin be asked to make? #HEGSETH: Um. I would start by saying the arguments that have been made that somehow coming to the table right now is making concessions to #VladimirPutin, I just reject that at its face... REPORTER: Right, but every “peace talk” so far has been about what Ukraine has to give up—territory, NATO aspirations, sovereignty. So what exactly is Putin putting on the table? HEGSETH: Well, I don’t think it’s fair to say we’re just handing Putin concessions. REPORTER: Okay, so is he withdrawing troops? Paying reparations? Admitting war crimes? Or is his big “compromise” just taking less of Ukraine than he originally wanted? HEGSETH: Look, negotiations require both sides to make sacrifices. REPORTER: Yeah, but only one side started a full-scale invasion. If a guy steals your house and offers to return half of your living room, that’s not a “compromise”—that’s a hostage deal. HEGSETH: I just think it’s time for diplomacy. REPORTER: Diplomacy is great when both sides want peace. But when one side just wants a “pause” to reload, that’s not diplomacy—it’s a setup for the next invasion. HEGSETH: So you’re saying no negotiations, just endless war? REPORTER: No, I’m saying a peace deal where only one side makes sacrifices isn’t peace—it’s surrender with better branding.

@DymondSongs @Jtheranger_wtf I agree that whether or not our tax money should be spent to prevent issues in other countries, is a legitimate issue for the American taxpayer. But, the shocking claim by Musk & the Trump Administration that our tax money was buying condoms for Hamas terrorists, is 100% false.

#JamesCarville #PBS #FiringLine on #KamalaHarris: "We ran a presidential #election, if we were playing a #SUPERBOWL, we started our 7th string quarterback." Carville noted that #Democratic voters would've been enthralled to have a presidential candidate that could "actually complete a sentence."
