Statement from Roger Pruitt on the U.S. Bombing of Iran’s Nuclear Sites “As an Air Force veteran, I will always support the brave men and women who serve in our armed forces. They carry out their missions with honor, and they deserve our deepest respect…
You stated our situation perfectly. The Republican Congress has ceded it's power and role in our democracy to the executive branch. We are no longer a democracy. We are under the totalitarian rule now. 77 million people voted for this. It's beyond the pale.
We did’t think the German military who carried out Nazi orders were “brave and noble”; following an order doesn’t put you in that category at all. Bombing the shit out of a country isn’t being fucking enlightened.
Do Congressional GOP ever do anything but obstruct and play performative political cosplay?
Trump Fascists are on the move. His Republican MAGA base includes ICE’s Gestapo, armed Military, and millions of Neo-Nazis who hate People of Color. Led by life-long racist Donald Trump, these MAGAts are trying to convert the USA into a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy.
I hope you will. I will always stand with the troops. Never will stand with the monster that put us at war.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Congress hasn't declared war on anyone since WWII. But how many conflicts have we been involved in? How many of our people have died as a result?
Way less than the people you killed!!!
Whoa, hang on, I'm with you. I'm rabidly anti-Trump since the beginning, and I've been anti-war for ages before that. I'm horrified by this.
I'm sorry, I am very angry today. Must be the WWIII thing.
Don't blame you one bit. I'm angry too.
Uhm with 'you' I meant the USA. Not you personally.
I know that. But I'm not in the segment of the US that supports this, and it sounded like you thought I was. Sorry if I was wrong.
Well, I don't live in the USA. For me, you are all Americans. That elected trump twice. Sorry if we are a little judgemental. Its for pulling us all into WWIII.
I understand. The US is very deeply divided and always has been, but that's not always clear to outsiders. I like to say that the Civil War never ended, it just went cold.
Dude there is so much wrong with your country, I can't believe anybody wants to live there. Unless your are a millionaire. Sorry, I really don't mean to be rude.
I'm proud of the ideals that the US was founded upon. I'm not happy with how we've consistently failed to live up to those ideals, particularly with racism. We are long overdue for a revolution.
But I give you a lot of credit for, well basically talking with me. Most Americans run away.
Founded upon? You mean the genocide of the native Americans? Or the fact that you (the USA) have been at war(s) for 223 years of your 250 year existence. Current war budget 1 fucking trillion dollars! Yeah it's not the impressive footprint you were taught to believe.
No offense taken. But you saw the protests last week. There are a lot of us who feel the same way. Trump is NOT popular here. Our system wasn't designed to handle somebody so shamelessly corrupt, who also has a whole corrupt party protecting him.
While I agree with your statement, Sir, we have our mouths full of allegiance to the Constitution, and that service men and women don't have to follow illegal orders. Yet, here we are.
Never mind all the diplomatic speak. This president has illegally dragged your country into an unwanted war. Democrats and citizens around the country should be taking to the streets and calling Republican senators and congressmen to scream their disapproval.
It was absolutely unconstitutional. bsky.app/profile/sall...
Respect Captain 🙏🏾💙
fuck war...do your job
Thank you @pruitt4sc2.bsky.social. 👍🏼
Following an illegal order will get you executed just the same.
Honor??
Suppose Trump's decision to bomb is unconstitutional & it escalates to the use of military personnel on the ground. In that case, nobody from the Armed Services is required to follow his orders, right?
Republicans shoehorn us into yet another 20 year world conflict. Watching his ugly mug gleefully say greatest biggest never before seen by me me me me 15 months get to work 26 is coming vote them all out

🎯💯🎯 Congressional Republicans have abdicated their spines and paved the way to dictatorship. We will not forget your treachery!
The Republican majority has decided to stand back and stand by as they make Donald Trump their proxy on deciding what’s constitutional or not. Republicans are NOT AMERICAN’S!
Statements are worthless. Impeach the mad king
I don't know if they will have the numbers to do so with the current GOP majority- same majority that has refused to do their jobs
Seems to me some of those deeply respected people obeyed an illegal order. But go ahead, keep worshiping you military.
