I don’t know how dependable this is, but I’ve never talked to a Marxist who didn’t want to hurt our military. I had hoped that once 0 became our dictator, he would see the military as his, and leave it alone. At least then patriots would have it when we retake this nation.

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She said, “I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.”

I bought her a bathroom scale.

And then the fight started ...
ouch!
