> ... like most of his SEAL buddies.
I've been told by people in the NAVY that the psychological screening is the first and most important screening for being accepted to BUD/S. Specifically, that they're intently looking for psychopaths (calculated, charming, and emotionally cold) that they can train to be compliant killers. Notice how almost every SEAL is always caught up in some controversy of them lying about their military exploits and abilities. That program intently looks for mentally broken men to train. The worst cases of war crimes in Iraq/ Afghanistan were by the SEALs.

# What even is a Republican anymore?
We need to have this conversation next, because our assumptions of that, and their own lies about what their party represents, is all that's holding them up. Republican Thomas Massie has already told us that ["every Republican has an AIPAC babysitter."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74ZA-GdeQP4) We've confirmed it. They don't deny it.
So, again, what does it mean to be a Republican? Certainly not what we assume it to be. Not anymore.
The question after that is, "Who are we?" What party represents us?
This is why George Washington, in his resignation speech 240+ years ago, warned us against political parties.

Sen. Sheehy is a piece of shit--like most of his SEAL buddies.
