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.”

    giving up on “American interests” in the way they are will mean the violent deaths of thousands of innocent people

    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.

      I am aware.

      What’s your fucking point? We should cripple our defense and intelligence agencies because cops kill people?

        My point is maybe stop murdering your own people and people in other countries first, and then worry about “Gyna and Rusha”
