Your post inspired me to take a look over at DU - just an aside, but I see a LOT of them getting very defensive and portraying our side as conspiracy theorists. Some try to make their comments in cogent terms but invariably they fail. One thing I did get from the view over there - we will NEVER be able to peacefully co-exist with them.

So hair length is an accurate indicator of political affiliation?

Really?

Some of the other Crooks donation images have been scrubbed, so this might not stay up long either.

I’m not sure it’s the right guy — California residence.
Although it might explain the Arizona plates...or not.

I forget his other contributing factors from his lifestyle
which added together with that factor, pretty well eliminated
him from being a Conservative.

You do realize he shot Trump right?

He shot Trump.

I know it’s hard for some folks to put the pieces together,
but this one should be pretty easy for you.
