Reporter needs to go back to school and finish his schooling. I think a scholarship to Eff U would be appropriate.
I wonder if widdle Eli has actually ever been cold, hungry, tired or scared?

Libtards off the deep end again.
They would collect and frame a tissue on which Buttcrack Obama had wiped his nose.

Kirby is an idiot who got kicked to the curb. He is butthurt because Pickles didn’t win. BTW Kirby does not have any combat related decorations. He was a RIMF for the better part of his career. I think his plan was to be SOS if Pickles had won. Trumpster tumped his tractor in the sandbox. One less swamp critter.
...oops, I misspelled “butt”.
When I was in the military every guardhouse and check point had a photo of the President of the USA in there. In those years it was LBJ and later Richard Nixon.
Courts martial?
The clueless CNN. That is not engaging in political activities.
According to CNN, going to Commanders Call is a political event.
Know these idiots.
