democrats have no idea of how to govern. For them, everything is a new government program funded by a new tax. Hey skateboard brain! shove it up your xxx.

I presume that by “govern”, you mean do so according to the US Constitution. No; they want more and more power and to rule by crisis and capricious decrees.

Whitey O’Rourke can’t get anyone to pay attention to him.

Democratic presidential candidate Beto (BET’-oh) O’Rourke is pledging to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and help create a federal health care fund to cover the costs of caring for those who serve in future wars by taxing those who don’t.

Don't we already have that? And isn't it called the VA?

I appreciate my veterans in my family..my spouse, 3 brothers, 3 Bil, both my mother and father......

but no way should anyone be penalized for not being in the service.....

of course we're well on our way to making our own red guard......

How about a DUI offender tax for good measure?
