25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Trump is a disgrace to the office and to humanity. He has ZERO respect for the military. He is grossly incompetent and unqualified to be our commander in chief. What an embarrassment. That lying, treasonous, corrupt, racist, pedophile deserves the 25th, but the REPUBLICANS are spineless cowards.
San Diego has one of the largest concentrations of US Navy and Marines Corps forces in the world and serves as a hub for the US Pacific Fleet. 

San Diego County is home to over 110,000 active duty military members and roughly 60,000 military children. 

It's home to more than 200,000 veterans and retirees.

"Let them take out San Diego. This is a small price to pay." ~ Donald J Trump
