The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

Trump likes troops "who weren't captured"
 
The Trump administration has decided to shutter Stars and Stripes, the award-winning independent military newspaper that began during the Civil War and has continuously published since World War II. The publication has broken many important stories, including highlighting predatory or unethical practices by military brass.

Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have been trying to prevent this move for months. “Stars and Stripes is an essential part of our nation’s freedom of the press that serves the very population charged with defending that freedom,” fifteen senators said in a letter sent to Defense Secretary Mark Esper.


Even Trump sycophant Lindsay Graham has attempted to save the paper, writing to Esper, “as a veteran who has served overseas, I know the value that the Stars and Stripes brings to its readers.”

But the administration announced it is going ahead with closing the publication as part of cost-cutting measures, ordering it to stop publishing by September 30th and setting a deadline at the end of January to dissolve it completely.

We all know Trump is not a fan of the press or accountability, and Stars and Stripes has won awards for its reporting on important issues affecting members of the military.

Despite the president’s insistence that he is “done more for the military than almost anybody else,” the closure of this vital resource speaks louder than his words. With its excellent reporting and editorial independence, the paper has held military leadership accountable in a powerful system that has little oversight. One of the best ways we can protect and support our troops is to ensure Stars and Stripes continues to exist.
 
Griffin also addressed criticism from Trump and his supporters who have focused on the fact that the sources cited in The Atlantic, Fox News, and a host of other outlets were anonymous. She noted that Deep Throat, the source behind Watergate, was an unnamed source, indicating that it's long been a legitimate journalistic practice. Griffin did acknowledge she'd prefer to have her sources appear on camera, but said "you can see how people get destroyed when" they come forward with negative stories about Trump, which has made many people "reluctant" to do so.

But you believe an anonymous source from a magazine that is a mega donar to Biden over 7 actual witnesses who have no reason to hide their name and a guy in Bolton that has zero reason to lie.

Brilliant but scary. Being a meth addict has done bad things to your brain.

It's funny how druggy fish, victimized Noas and others here not too long ago were literally crying over things like military spending and even wanted to slash it in half but now hypocritically act like their care about the military.

Different idealism depending on the day.

The less money the military has the fewer ways there are for our government to use it to place our troops in harms way.

How have I acted like I care about the military? I care about our president being a hypocrite. Also, how does less spending on the military mean I don't care about the military?

When I buy my daughter clothing I keep cost on mind. I don't simply buy her the most expensive thing possible. Doesn't mean I don't care about her.

If you weren't such a meth addict you'd remember our conversations about healthcare and how you wanted to slash the budget.

And if you cared about your daughter you would quit drugs. If you cared about yourself you would too.
