“What Adam Schiff was saying is there are times in your life when you’re an elected official where you have to show as much courage as someone in battle.”
.
.
.
“I think about Claire McCaskill and Heidi Heitkamp when they voted with their party but against their own political interest when they voted against Judge Kavanaugh. There are so many examples of that in our country’s history of profiles of courage, and that’s what Adam Schiff’s pleaded to them.”

[Hattie]

That is not even a reasonable statement. Ask anyone that’s been through the military and wars what they think of that statement

[Fido969]

Her campaign is running out of money. She needs more ex-boyfriends.

[chris37]

Oh shut up, you absolute nincompoop.

[Nateman]

More like profiles of evil.

Amy- you would not last even a 1/4 of 1 single day in basic training- let alone battle, so enough with the idiotic comparisons, k? Thanks!

[Paladin2]

So she is voting for Trump?

[o-n-money]

And hearsay is best evidence.

Amy should get just yell and abuse her staff. No one else has to listen to this nitwit. Fortunately for the nation, other than the NYT, no one does.

[DoodleBob]

Yea, it's the same thing.

[A Navy Vet]

Unbelievably ignorant and insensitive thing to say. Sure thing Klob, let’s minimize the bravery of combat troops to the level of self-serving egocentric politicians. Pfft.

[EEGator]

Seriously, what a stupid F’n bitch.

Klofubar is right to a certain extent....

War is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means. - Carl von Clausewitz

The difference is, Clausewitz was talking about warfare between countries. DemonicRATS have taken that philosophy and applied it towards domestic politics.

Republicans better get on board with that.

[RonnG]

[Pearls Before Swine]

Uhhh.... Amy, I think Congress is less stressful than combat.

[Pajamajan]

Give me a break-corrupt lying biatch. Covering up for criminals has NOTHING in common with battle. Has more in common with🐂💨💩
