I hope Biden appoints him to office as rumored (as long as we can keep the Senate)

I want to be rid of him

Endless War globalists are a poison.

******** countries are always going to be ******** countries.

Stop spending valuable American lives and hundreds of billions of American dollars to demonstrate that.

His kids and family won’t go! Mitt, I donated a cousin to the Vietnam effort, a nephew to the Iraq effort, my dad and father in law were in the Air Force and Navy respectably, my brother in laws (2) and 1 sister in law were Marines.

What have you contributed??

My nephew is in Arlington National Cemetery, where is yours?

Romney should volunteer his magic underwear & allow soldiers to reunite with their family. No one would care if Romney was a casualty of war.

It really makes a difference. I havent done it in awhile but during Bush Years I sent a lot every week.

I tried not to get attached to anyone in case they got killed.

I sent most to those that were forlorn, weary, didnt have anyone to send them anything, etc.

I was always kind of amazed that they trusted strangers to send them things..because it could have been poisoned.

Romney is trash. No man who avoided the draft or did not volunteer is trash. 20 years? Two Sf A teams took over Afghan fast. Troops riding up and down roads is sad.

Like the Biden crime family, Romney has been neck-deep in corruption over Ukraine and many other places.

In 2011, Romney said the “right timetable” for withdrawal from Afghanistan was 2014. Now in 2020, it’s too soon to withdraw.

It’s complicated.

“So, Mitt. What EXACTLY are our objectives in being there, so we know (A) why we are there and (B) when we can leave by fulfilling them. Can’t answer that one can ya Mitt?”
