And don't tell me to say "thank you for your service" to any and all veterans. Our government trains these people to be murderers and when they come out and continue to use their training on innocent people we shouldn't be surprised. We had no business starting wars in Iraq - both times.

A person has no idea what kind of service you did or when or if you were on the battlefield humping the boonies or just serving up hash in the local armory. We need to stop the glorification of war.

If this Johnathan Ross is so innocent, as the righties would have us believe, then why did he abruptly leave the scene then pack up and move within hours?

I'm sure they will take care of their ICE agents and keep them safe from actual law enforcement.

They took all of our ACA subsidy money to fund this gestapo - they have a huge budget.

So, he was one of the propaganda-addled #rump supporters who helped make our Covid death rate twice that of other developed countries by doing the dumbest things they could think of to show how little they cared.
