We'll put a boot in their ass courtesy of the red white and blue. We are the only ones that can protect you. MURICA!....And the media and citizens fall right in line.
If it is a democratic administration then it is all about what they didn't do to keep us safe. They are weak and the terrorist are not afraid. The terrorist are emboldened, they see America as weak. We are the only ones that can protect you. And the media and citizens fall right in line.
