“This crazy tariff war … like, the fact that nobody is questioning his mental acuity or fitness to serve is beyond wild to me, right?" said Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Tex., during a Thursday appearance on MSNBC’s “All In with Chris Hayes.”

“Like, the fact that they sat around, called Joe Biden ‘Sleepy Joe Biden’ … at least you could sleep at night because you didn’t have to worry about your 401(k) disappearing overnight," Crockett told Hayes.

“You didn’t have to worry about the cost of food just skyrocketing or skyrocketing costs of all of your electronics,” she said.

“Like, this is crazy work. For no reason.”

      you’re just a miserable little troll, aren’t you?

      edit: i am a veteran. every veteran matters. but anyone that actually served their country understand that the entire concept of a unit is to help each other. support each other. because we’re not all the same. and we’re not all strong at the same time.

        What you’re describing is “Empathy.”

        It just doesn’t apply to "Brothers in Arms.’

        It applies to each and every one of us.

        EXCEPT the psychopaths who want to dominate those less wealthy and powerful.

          it’s very much not empathy in the military. it’s teamwork. if the person never carries their share of the workload they’re just dragging you down. in most other workplaces that can be annoying to mildly dangerous. in the military, with everything that is involved in that, it can be exceptionally dangerous, for everyone on the boat or in your unit or whatever.

            I understand what you’re saying.

            But, extend that feeling to every other decent, moral citizen that you are so proud of “defending.”

      Ooo yeah Crockett is anything but dumb tbh. I’ve seen her go off on opposition during committees and councils. Shes one of the few ACTUAL smart politicians, with a real interest in helping the people that voted her into office.

        And white princesses like Mace and Green absolutely HATE her.

        I fear for Crockett’s safety, but admire the shit out of her bravery and scuples.
