I see that MTG breathes thru her chin. The ol’ sliding mask routine again.
The military is hardly a hotbed of left wing George Soros loving, space lasers, and UV lamp loving democrats.
I gotta go outside for some fresh air…

I never thought I’d see “U.S. Military” and “Left Wing Extremism” on the same planet, much less in the same sentence.

Unless it was describing a new battle campaign.

MTG must be trying to distract from the heavy, actual, fundamentalist/wingnuts presence in the military.

No reporter should even take a quote from any one of these chickenhawks without first prefacing the question with:

“…and, before you respond, Congressperson–where did you serve?”

Fuck 'em if they can’t take a joke.

It was always their daydream fantasy, last-ditch hope and plan that if they needed to go violent to establish their permanent minority-rules white Christian hegemony, they’d have the military behind them.

Hey, if they want to get the military to hate them, I’m cool with that.

“So exhausting”

That’s because they are all huge farts.

More of this please. I can’t help but think that generates quotes from doughy right wing idiots questioning the manliness of the military is nothing but good for D’s and bad for R’s.

As a 22-year Navy veteran, retiring in 1996, my question to these 30 wack-job Republicans is "When did you serve? Which service branch? How long did you serve?

If they’re non-veterans, then fuck them and their incendiary complaints.

It’s somewhat reassuring to see their talent for making enemies.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around Rafael Cruz’s attempt to defend masculinity.

They’ve all done stints with the 101st Fighting Keyboardists.

Several received combat medals for leading the charge on January 6th.
