Sen. Tammy Duckworth: I swore an oath to the Constitution, not to clap when Trump demands
https://www.washingtonpost.com/n…
Sen. Tammy Duckworth, who has emerged in recent weeks as one of President Trump’s most vocal critics, fired back after Trump called Democrats “treasonous” for not applauding him during his State of the Union address.
“We don’t live in a dictatorship or monarchy. I swore an oath — in the military and in the Senate — to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, not to mindlessly cater to the whims of Cadet Bone Spurs and clap when he demands I clap,” Duckworth (D-Ill.) wrote in a tweet, using a nickname she had given Trump, who had said in previous interviews that he was granted medical deferment during the Vietnam War after bone spurs in his feet were diagnosed.
- #CadetBoneSpurs is a real herocapn_ron
- she gives off "bad energy"********
- omg, ladies and gentlemen, criticising a decorated war veteran with more intestinal fortitude than most men, inc. Pres. Fucknut.face_melter
- She acts if she stands for a different American flag. There's only one sweetheart!********
- No she doesn’t.monospaced
- she would have done 100 pushups with her tongue if her drill sergeant told her to. Sulking about "dictatorship" because she didn't want to clap. stupid!********
- That isn't stupid. Trump doesn't deserve applause, and she has absolutely no obligation to clap for the moron either. Also, dictatorship is for idiots like youmonospaced
- "the mission to make America great again for all Americans", she didn't clap, so who does she stand for? Her head just whistling in a crosswind, just like yours********
- she simply isn't clapping for trump because his promise is empty ,and he's a lying, scumbag piece of shit, and she doesn't bow to dictatorship in this countrymonospaced
- she stands for her right to ignore Trump, the worst president this country has ever had ... that's her right, and her duty ,you dumb fuckmonospaced
- lol what a pathetic senator. It would be useful if she could do something worthwhile, other than being a loud mouth bitch like you.********
- she's a great senator, and she does a lot more than most, including speaking out against morons in commandmonospaced
- But only a degenerate would make light of people who suffer with bone spurs. You would think she would be sympathetic to folks with these medical conditions.********

Trump thinks not clapping is Treasonous.
Perhaps he could throw Speaker Ryan in Jail?

- that's crazy. i don't see him. carry on!kona
- i sent you an email with a qbn link capn.kona
- omg implied you were a racist, again, in a pathetic attempt to hide his own bigoted viewpointsmonospaced
- that little shoe of yours doesn't fit my feet. it would have to be on the foot of someone ignoring unemployed blacks in favor of hiring illegals instead.********
- that makes no sense, as usual, and not surprising considering you’re a fucking moronmonospaced
- that's because you're a walking argument for birth control.********

If they scrapped this "parade" idea and made it more of a car show / science fair thing where you could get your picture next to whatever the big dog has become, learn about weaponized software or fly around a tethered predator drone I would probably want to check it out.

The Army Plans On Stockpiling Thousands Of Artillery Shells Ahead Of The Next Big War
The Army’s proposed fiscal 2019 budget calls for purchasing an eye-popping 148,297 155mm shells, including 1,189 GPS-guided Excalibur rounds designed for use in danger-close situations, officials told reporters on Tuesday. The order reflects a 825% increase from the 16,573 155mm shells the Army planned on purchasing this fiscal year.
