A elected scoundrel who wraps himself in the flag compromises the republic for which it stands. We know the parade was less a simple recognition of the sacrifices of our military than it was an unprecedented $45M ego boost for its Commander in Chief in the age of DOGE.

Context matters. Believe him when off camera he tells General Kelly what he thinks of the citizen soldiers, including the General’s son, who sacrificed themselves in the line of duty.

And yes, we wouldn’t turn on Planned Parenthood.
