These things happen when at war...oooo I’m not supposed to say that out loud am I?
The evil war pigs have been pilfering our republic since Viet Nam and have no regard for anything except a dollar and walking on the backs of we peasants. These Godless ____’s are going to escalate to WWIII ...
LOL. The Adorno Doctrine: DC deep state corruption and war everywhere on the globe because it might be near an ally.
Lol...that too!
Anger is unbecoming.
Izzat choo, Lindsey Graham?
It’s as real as the Chinese parachute shots won.. I mean ballon.
At the end it appears to reboot and still going
Because then it would be a weapon and a legitimate target.

How did you live into an adulthood as such a dummy?:)
