"...Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego of Arizona, a Marine Corps veteran...:"

I respect Marines, but not ones who wish to destroy this country and who break the vow they have taken, becoming domestic enemies of this country themselves.

Marine, my ass.

Another ultimate down side of socialism. What the government gives it can take away. Once you realize that, you will submit. How many people are surviving on their social security and medicare? They can’t/wont take a chance of losing it.

It’s all about control. I remember years ago when people warned of this happening and were dismissed. “It can’t happen here.”

It is happening and it will eventually touch us all.

How about stripping all government benefits from anyone rioting in Portland and Seattle? (Welfare and Medicaid to start.)

“Ex post facto laws are prohibited by the Constitution. But...an ex post facto law is a law that punishes some act that was legal when it was done.”


I believe the same argument was used to deprive those convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence of firearm rights even before that law was passed.

So by Rep. Gallego’s standard he would also be cool with stripping benefits from any Vet that was in a Black Lives Matter riot? Also Antifa? Why stop there Gallego? How about any other crime - murder, DWI, etc?

How about we leave our Vets alone, other than supporting them on the civilian side and arranging for good healthcare? Is that too much to ask?
