For me, one of the most heinous acts of the Trump presidency was pardoning and then extolling the virtues of war criminals, particularly the psychopath Eddie Gallagher.
It turns out that he and Gallagher have the same character:
Remember that whole narrative from some folks about Eddie Gallagher being the ultimate warrior?
Well, they left out the part where he accidentally stabbed himself with a hatchet and tried to get a Purple Heart.
From “Alpha” by @David_Philipps:
Or the part where he told his team an area was clear when it wasn’t and someone immediately got shot. And he wouldn’t call in a casevac because he lied about the unit’s location and didn’t want to get in trouble, and told the dude who got shot to lie about it, too.
Good stuff.

I will be shocked if that guy doesn’t run for office as a Republican and win.
