That was done to antagonize those in the military. Does that seem like a plan?
That will surely be overturned once President Trump occupies the Oval Office.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Navy officially commemorated the new USNS Harvey Milk, a 677-foot fleet oiler and first navy ship to be named after a member of the LGBTQ community.
Destroyer? Not so much.

He comes across as a pathetic figure devoid of even a sense of leadership.


A sad day for America to have a prez come across so weak, only propped up by his runaway ego.


So dependant on his propaganda provided protection, he now stands exposed for the hologram he has existed as for the last 8 years.


Brietbart???????

Republicans, hopped up on a steady drip of fake news, resort to wild hyperbole at every opportunity, and over time this gross exaggeration of reality becomes the norm.

Thats why fake news like Breitbart has now become accepted as mainstream journalism by low information Americans.

Let's see what Trump does with his turn in the bucket!

Americans didn't die here but they sure did die in the Middle East because the hypocrit Obama lied and committed troops to battle.

Constitution's First Amendment doesn't allow to incite violence which is exactly what online radicalization does. You cannot yell "Fire" in a crowded area... that is not covered by the First Amendment. Free Speech protected by the 1st Amendment doesn't mean you can say whatever you want without consequence... it does protect you from retribution for being critical of the government which is what Obama stressed.

nice spin

Actually, one can yell fire in a theater, and call for a revolution..... The government that is forbidden by the constitution to react, often does and the resentment toward governments overreach is increased each time. We are either Free with Liberties, or we are locked in their jail they call government.

In any case, it's not important that they love Obama. It's only important that they follow his orders to the letter.

And THAT they WILL do or else!
