Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadnβt happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.

I say this as a veteran, and a gun owner: if only people cared as much for the 5th and 14th amendment as they care for the 2nd. Apparently, supporting the 2nd makes you a patriot, but it's ok to not care about the rest so much.

I mean, if we were to employ the same logic they're using, if we ever get a Democrat president back in the white house, we should fire every single federal employee that still has a job at that time? Because according to them, they're only keeping the hardcore maga loyalists.

And this is the problem with what they're doing. It's not just the next 4 years. If we get some sort of democratic semblance back, the next term or two will be spent recovering from all the harm they're doing. Including improving the agencies' corrupt, loyalist culture they're creating now.
