Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), a moderate Republican, slammed President Trump’s decision to fire the director of the National Security Agency (NSA) and his top deputy after demands from far-right influencer Laura Loomer, saying Sunday that China and Russia are “laughing at us” after that decision.

“I will tell you, this puts us back. It hurts us,” Bacon said in an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.”

    Some of us are old enough to remember 9/11 and know that giving up on “American interests” in the way they are will mean the violent deaths of thousands of innocent people.

    You can be mad at our government, but maybe you should think about your fellow humans.

      The US is currently complicit on the genocide of hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza (counting before Oct 7th, and counting deaths to malnutrition and illness too). Anyway, thousands of innocents die in the US from police violence anyway, you just don’t care because they’re mostly not white.

      Earth Science. 2nd period. 9th grade.

      Don’t talk about 9/11 to me removed. I remember it all. The day of and all the authoritarian overreach and idiot racism afterwards. “Nothing to hide, nothing to fear” on signs at fucking Walmart. Sihks being murdered in the street by ignorant fuckwits. All of it.
