They refuse to realize the military is bad.

and it's worse than boot worship, you could throw fucking blackwater under the bus without disrupting the default american politic of troop glazing.

To quell their conscious, another patch of grass will be replaced with a drab grey square of concrete with a flag next to it as a "memorial park" / bathroom

Same people who are very concerned anti semitism on the left love this guy.

I am not a hardliner, I believe some american veterans are ok. Platner is not one of them. He is literally a caricature of a nazi grifting to leftists

there's what, Chelsea? all the others i can think of are dead: Bushnell, dorner, Hugh Thompson the helicopter guy who stopped the incorrectly named My Lai massacre, maybe Pat Tillman.

You know, if nothing else this guy is a case study in how political scandals just don't really matter in a post-Trump era. This dude is just eating nonstop smears (largely justified, some ridiculous) and is still gonna win by like 20 points.

he talks good, they just didn't bother to find someone who can talk the same talk and didn't murder children for fun

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

How else are you going to manufacture another key votes death-to-the-poor without some easy blackwater BUDS blackmail?

[–] huf@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

they couldnt bring themselves to trust someone who hasnt killed some children for fun

They're surprisingly rare.

i don't think they're literally one in a million. and with his background if he is genuinely reformed he should've devoted himself to finding somebody to support rather than chasing power

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 3 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

I'm curious if he stopped chasing ass to chase power or if he's flexing two hobbies

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

He says he’ll make the rent go down and he talks like a normal, personable guy. Thats literally all it takes

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

maybe-later-honey Look you purity tankie-ponies, they elected Trump when they knew he had all this incriminating baggage. We can have a sus AF with less years of baggage as a treat.

Killing is fine (when you're Army and it's brown people), but the sanctity of marriage should never be impugned!

He also doesn't know what a symbol is.

[–] Meh@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

He's going to delete the message chain and replace it with a tinder profile

I'm sure this will get the "progressive" lib to turn on him finally right?
