Two of Donald Trump's appointees testified before Congress today.

Adverbs of manner

One of them defended the Iran war after previously opposing it, and the other defended dueling.

Also, Trump wants to do regime change in Cuba.

For more on this, it's time for a closer look.

As we all know, Trump promised to end foreign wars.

But more than that, he promised that the US Would stop getting involved in other countries business.

American forces cannot be the policemen for the entire world.

We're all over the world, and a lot of times we're not even appreciated.

The United States cannot afford to be the policeman of the world anymore, folks.

We are losing billions and billions of dollars.

Our country has never been in more danger of World War 3 than it is right now, and

we don't want to be the world's policeman.

You know, based on how it's gone in recent years, I think the world is probably okay with that.

You know, people like the police the most when they arrive after you call them for help.

In recent years, we've been showing up uninvited, underprepared, like that border patrol agent in Minnesota who slipped and fell on his ass.

When we meddle in another country's affairs, we come in hot, fall on our asses, and

run away with our tails tucked between our legs while everyone laughs at us.

But while we're running away, we act all tough, like we meant to do that.

Like our captain said, Johnson, you go in first.

But when Trump decided he actually really likes blowing things up, MAGA turned on a dime.

I'm not against America being the policeman of the world, but certainly the policeman of the hemisphere.

We live in a world in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength.

Every once in a while, we gotta send a bunch of commandos to kick in your door and drag you into a helicopter in the middle of the night in handcuffs.

We are the dominant predator, quite frankly, force in the Western hemisphere, what rules the world and has ruled humanity is the law of the jungle.

Because when you do, you sound like you're playing Call of Duty in your parents.

Mom, can you bring us down some pizza rolls?

Today, during a hearing to become the next Homeland Security Secretary, Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullen actually defended dueling.

This was immediately an intense hearing at kickoff between the Republican chairman Rand Paul and Senator Mark Wayne Mulle, dating back to some history the two of them have, specifically as it relates to an attack by Rand Paul's neighbor in 2017.

In 2017, Rand Paul was attacked by one of his constituents, seriously injured, and

Mullen, at the time, made a comment about the fact that he understood why that person might have acted out violently against Rand Paul.

What I was simply pointing out is some of the rules that still apply to this body.

For instance, dueling with two consenting adults is still there.

I was pointing out what is still legal for 170 years.

I don't know which part of that is weirder that Mark Wayne thought dueling was still legal or that Rand immediately knew it hasn't been legal for 170 years.

If you challenged Rand to a duel and said, name the time and the place, he'd say, uh, I'm not sure about the place, but

let's make the time the year 1856 so we don't get arrested.

Also very funny to describe a duel as being between two consenting adults.

You know, because if only one person consents, that's murder.

Which is why even the voices within the administration who were the loudest against war with Iran are now changing their tune.

Like Tulsi Gabbard, who, when she was running for president as a Democrat in 2019.

Yeah, I also think that's weird now, said this about Donald Trump.

This president and his chicken hawk cabinet have led us to the brink of war with Iran.

This war with Iran would be far more devastating, far more costly than anything that we ever saw in Iraq.

This is why it's so important that every one of us, every single American, stand up and say, no war with Iran.

Now, a Chicken hawk is someone who goes to war but never served in one.

And I just want to say, how dare she call Stephen Miller a chicken hawk when he's clearly way more of a mad scientist who would try to combine a chicken and a hawk.

I've taken blood samples from both of the animals, cross referenced their DNA and spliced their genes to produce the first ever chicken hawk.

Gabbard was fully against the war with Iran until she started working for Trump.

During a hearing today, she even skipped over parts of her written statement that would have undercut the case for Trump's war.

In your printed testimony today on page six and your last paragraph on page six.

As a result of Operation Midnight Hammer, Iran's nuclear enrichment program was obliterated.

There's been no efforts to try to rebuild their enrichment capability.

You omitted that paragraph from your oral opening.

Was that because the President said there was an imminent threat?

That the time was running long and I skipped through some of the portions.

You chose to take my oral delivered remarks.

You chose to omit the parts that contradict the president.
