I’ve outed several here.

A great thing, especially once their venom starts flying.

Why give him a pass??? He did this while he was supposed to be mayor of south bend. He puffed his record instead of doing the job the people who voted for him wanted him to do

His military records from the Department of the Navy are redacted He was a 'reservist' in the navy.... 6 months of active duty in Afghanistan. ..his mission was to identify and disrupt terrorist organizations 'finance and support'... does 'not appear to have seen any combat'. Sailors who do receive what's called the Navy Combat Action Ribbon. The mayor received no such ribbon, his total active duty service prior to his time in Afghanistan is just shy of two months.

They get angry enough at me here personally already.

Any fascist who says “Bikers at Waco got what they deserved”.

A POS in my recent history last week who felt his service entitled his leftist views to not be disagreed with.

Catherineofaragon was my personal bully in 2016.

A few others who feel compelled to out themselves whenever I use the word “Cruzbot”, or disagree with what the Hussein Heads here call a “natural born citizen”.

They really, REALLY believe Kamala Harris is eligible for POTUS as of last week in my posts.

“Why do dems insist on puffing their military service???”

They know conservatives respect military service, and erroneously believe we will support anything said by a veteran, otherwise we “hate all veterans”.

The same conversation I had with a Hussein Head here last week that seemed to rile him up so much, he’s not here anymore, hahahahahahahaha.

Ben and Ami need to raise $$$ from 65,000 people to be debate worthy.
