it’s so surreal to see the left openly defending the military industrial complex

Well, it's more like the uniparty, so yes. Lion party is the only truly right party

I was just going to say: "So who is this woman? A 'pro-war liberal'?"

Politics and war are very lucrative to some people, too bad they are often the same people.

You're saying that we want a board seat on Raytheon, Halliburton, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics like it's a bad thing. If you want to make an omelette you gotta crack a few eggs, son.

Translation (from TDS to English): "Donald Trump Jr. agrees with Dwight D. Eisenhower that the Military-Industrial Complex is a thing."

Didn’t this used to be a fairly standard viewpoint on the left? Lol what happened? Military industrial complex now good because orange mad bad.

Of course that is what is going on. Are these tweets seriously trying to make out that is not the case?

These blue checks and their use of fake outrage to hide the truth. This has been talked about for literally decades.

A lot of former Army and Navy officers know this is true.

And did she bother to look up who sits on these boards. I know for a fact the fucking stupid government worker Naval commander who stuck taxpayers with the clittoral ship disaster is fat and happy on one of the big defense contractor boards.

Raytheon BOD: 3 ret gens (or adm) and 1 ex SecDef (R Work) Lockheed Martin BOD: 2 rgs and 1 ex SecHS (the cagey Jeh Johnson himself!) Northrop Grumman BOD: 2 rgs General Dynamics BOD: 3 rgs and 1 SecDef

The above also tend to have ex-execs from Verizon, Caterpillar and Abbott Labs, oddly enough.
