Today the Democrat House managers are concluding the presentation of their case at the Senate impeachment trial, and Rep. Joaquin Castro basically told the senators that January 6th proved that they’re not getting much for the trillions of dollars the U.S. spends to equip and maintain a military:

Rep. Joaquin Castro: "We have spent trillions of dollars building the strongest military in the world, and billions of dollars on the most sophisticated weaponry on the planet, to prevent the kind of attack that occurred at this Capitol on January 6" https://t.co/YubPpuDO6i pic.twitter.com/055YlMym7R

Wait, seriously?

We don't use the military for domestic law enforcement. And he's either the dumbest member of Congress or he knows it and is playing for the cameras. https://t.co/OG6gy5xCrW

Or he gets it but hopes nobody else does…

Democrats want to use the power of the Military on it's own citizens. https://t.co/XNsW9XOsBS

Sometimes they just make it easy by saying that out loud.

Insane, traitorous bullsht. You built the strongest military in the world to crush domestic conservative protests? Libs are so clueless they have no idea how terrible this stuff sounds. https://t.co/2hteB27eXW
