Rep. Keith Self: "All of the members of Congress that are bellyaching need to stop it. We've got young Americans in harm's way today. If you've got a complaint, let's deal with it afterwards, but right now if Congress wants to do something, let's get the defense industrial base moving faster."

Rep. Keith Self means: "let's kill more innocent Muslims. There are four dead American soldiers, so that justifies the 700 civilians, (incl 250 children), we already killed in a illegal attack, with no threat, and no congregational approval; and it should allow us to bag at least two thousand more."

Gotta love the gun control deflection extended to all aspects of governance. “We can address the thing that would have stopped this at a later date, now is not the time for self-reflection”

Patriot missiles cost over a $1million, drones can cost up to $10million. You do the maths. Pentagon has more money than they know what to do with - so let's start a war.

It's been reported that the Pentagon has half a trillion dollars they don't know how to spend and he wants Democrats to give them more money? Who put those young Americans into harm's way? Trump doesn't have authority to do that on his own, he should've had to lie to Congress like Bush did.

WHERE IS CONGRESS? Trump is waging an illegal war in Iran, and Americans are dying. Article I belongs to the People, not the President. Email, Fax or USPS Congress to demand an end to the strikes & immediate accountability: resist.bot/petitions/PA... 🚨🇺🇸 #WarPowers #NoWarWithIran #Impeach

So, Rep Self is for raising taxes on the Billionaires and Corporations who are profiting from putting Americans in Harms way to pay for his War? Or for just putting it on the credit card and making regular Americans not in those categories pay it off? Hmm....

Word-for-word the exact same thing they said about Iraq. “Dear Leader’s glorious crusade only failed because those meanie liberals didn’t clap loud enough!”

Fuck this guy. The #GOP put "young Americans in harm's way like they consistently put all Americans in harm's way from taking away Healthcare to making food unaffordable. Fuck'em all. And those over there? They enlisted, I assume, of their own free will.

If that's how that motherfucker feels he needs to strap on his flak jacket and get his ass to the front. I've been down You Hate America Because You Don't Support Our War Of Choice Blvd before and if I have to go back I'm bringing a Louisville Slugger.

Trump & his GOP diehards hope for massive American casualties. They tell themselves it would be sad but needed to rally the people behind Trump, but the elitists backing them will just turn to Dems if Trump falls. First, take away Trump’s power by voting out the GOP. Then, help Dems resist elitists.

Is it still called the defense industry? Like the old dept of defense, it should be named the war industry.

Congressman, how would you possibly get out of an unjust war, that no one knows the reason behind, if you are not allowed to talk about it while it is going on, you nimrod?! Just keep blindly sending kids off to the meat grinder, we'll settle the bill when it's all over?

You grossly underestimate the willingness of your fellow citizens to cheer on the slaughter of “the others” in far away lands. American bloodlust is undefeated

They'll try but in this case the collective conscience has moved on. Also, no hyper patriotism after a recent attack on our soil like last time

Awesome idea! Ban layoffs, and use the defense production act to compel the AI companies to start producing something useful, like physically mining rare earths

"Why don't you support our troops," say the war profiteers. "We need to send more soldiers to die in order to avenge the soldiers we already sent to die."

Someone posted that Operation Epic Fury is “EF” abbreviated… you know, just like the Epstein Files are “EF” abbreviated too. Coincidence? My heartfelt thanks to whoever (at the pentagon?) did this. Someone wanted to telegraph the truth about this war. 🙏

Wait! So, if it's illegal, let's just keep doing it. When we finish the illegal activity, we'll talk about that then. But, please do not interrupt our crimes while in process!

Iran has the right to defend themselves. They are tyrannical regime, but Israel and USA are not attacking because of that. They just want total control of oil reserves because they know Iran doesn't have nuclear power

Oh fuck that. The time to righteously complain is WHILE those young Americans are in harm's way today because of an illegal, irresponsible, reckless decision by a fucking idiot of a "president". Duh! 🙄

Awww fuck Rep. Keith Self. Our soldiers are in harm's way today because of trump, hegseth, and anyone else in this admin. and/or Congress who have permitted trump to do whatever the fuck he wants.

This is just “If you don’t support the troops then you’re in league with the terrorists!” Talking point from the Iraq War.

Because of this illegitimate war WE ARE ALL IN HARM'S WAY! Mass shooting in Texas by man wearing a praise Allah shirt with an Iranian flag on it. FBI remains on high alert, DHS memo warns of lone wolf attacks amid war with Iran Security alert: State Department updates warnings for U.S. travelers

That's the same way too many respond to domestic mass shootings: "Now is not the time to talk about it." A month later: "It's time to move on."

With rare exceptions you don't need the "R" or "D" tags anymore. If they're talking nonsense or hatred, 99% of the time it's the Pedo Party. There are crossovers, of course, and they disproportionately make news because they're unicorns.

Republicans hate our troops and hate America. That’s why they start wars, get a lot of people killed, and lie to us about it. Now is actually a good time to complain and deal with this travesty.

Keith Self has a major defense contractor in his district, so this checks out. L3 is a major employer in Greenville. I know because my dad worked there back when it was E-Systems and many of my friends’ dads worked there as well.

Yeah that's what we need. Let's get more bombs to drop for a war no one wants and our leaders have no idea what winning the war looks like.

"Look, I already shot someone, so I really need to keep shooting people. If you want to discuss whether or not I should shoot people, we can have that conversation after I'm done shooting people. Right now, you should just be finding me more bullets." ~ a serial killer, probably

Where have we heard this before? “You don’t support the troops!” Yes I do. I don’t want them killed or maimed in an illegal war of aggression. Let’s not bow to this transparent manipulation again.

If you start a war unprovoked & then have to (surprise!) backfill munitions/planes that are being used/destroyed by calling for urgent replacements you are a complete & utter fool

The people who shot down their own drone attacked another country a week later. Of course we are behind the men and women who are in danger because a deranged senile old man and a drunk have put them in danger because they are unqualified, uninformed and just plain stupid.

Perfect, Rep Keith Self can get himself added to the court case equivalent of the Nuremberg Trials once Agolf Shitler is finally in a mental institution, a prison cell or the ground!

Texas never fails. Elect morons, send your kids to die in a war for oil, blame the people that didn't want your kids, or their kids to die for oil. Hey Pam Bondi. Guess what's not 50,000 anymore?
