Guy Chamberlin Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I remember when a U.S. military general realized he'd been tricked into doing a photo op with Trump, iirc it was after Trump had a group of protestors cleared off the streets so he could stand in front of a church with a Bible and supporters, implying the general was one of them. The general quickly held a press conference explaining why it shouldn't have happened. I may be going out on a limb here, but I do believe the military has a stronger code of honor than the average police force. 1 Link to comment

Note that the $4.2 billion was removed from bridge repairs, which the burned bridge is clearly going to need. I'm not asserting cause and effect for the bridge being damaged. Edit to add: I agree the tweets are not the best, probably should have just found the article: $4.2 billion diverted from PennDOT road and bridge repairs to fund state police, new audit reveals 1 Link to comment
Archy1221 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 What he’s saying isn’t wrong but it always just amounts to bluster and it doesn’t get fixed. Hopefully Congress does something this time to rein it in. 1 2 Link to comment
