Why do these mooks have such a hard-on for parading our professional military through the streets like an 8 year old with his toy soldiers?

As loathsome as he is, gotta grant Cotton props for actually serving in a combat theatre.

The fascist isn’t even trying to pretend. He keeps it up, and there will be real Hell to pay. So when do the sycophants begin to consider the 25th? Never? They’re going to let this “Enter into Hell” scenario completely unfold? Talk about weak! Talk about a bunch of jerks!

The fascist has described himself perfectly here. He knows NOTHING about governance or the Constitution. “You have to dominate, if you don’t dominate you’re wasting your time.” Hair Fuhrer in a furious tantrum…

I’d like to comment on this, but I’m unable to do so. My mind is…in a literal state of shock and horror.

I didn’t think 2020 could get worse. I seems that I didn’t know the definition of ‘worse’ though.

His apparent goal is to do for the US what US troops did for Iraq. No thanks.
