saying the quiet part out loud: "If a member of your family in the US military gets killed in Iran soon, you can console


If a member of your family in the US military gets killed in Iran soon, you can console yourself by knowing that they died to distract from their Commander-in-Chief's pedophilia.

Every last one of them.

They can push all those Revolutionary Guards to the ground and twist their arms.

He got out just in time. He's a pretty conservative guy, but he thinks the Trump administration is bat shit crazy. He's lost friends over it.

Glad he is out, he was a conservative until Trump came first time been voting dem ever since. Even though he is only 46 he is old fashioned conservative which there isn't anymore. And though he didn't talk about it they are atheists and lived off base mostly for that reason there was a huge push for officers to go to church.

He and some other retired officers were working at the CDC for 3 years on a special project to retain scientists and doctors so they didn't go private. They were doing a great job. His whole team got laid off last year by Elons team.

He was out of work this year looking all over, has two masters one in business and one in counseling, he worked as a counselor at the academy.

Now that my grandson is finally finishing high school in San Antonio, the family is moving to WA state and he got a counseling license there and a great job he starts next month doing therapy in the country working with horses. The property is peaceful and beautiful very happy for him.
