We haven’t been the same since. Think of how different our country would be if President Obama kept the house and senate all 8 years. Ugh!!!!

Goobers being ginned up by Faux "News", OANN and similar Rethug megaphones. One need look no further than chanting "Lock her up" at the "protest" in Michigan, referring to the female (Michigan) governor who has imposed fairly strict standards in an effort to slow down the catastrophic loss of life in that state. These morons all crave to belong to the group that is "sticking it to those Liberals". Fuck 'em.

Phony tough guys, snowflakes. Corporal Bonespurs is their hero but either he nor these goons have any idea of sacrifice for the good of the country. During a real war, WWII, true Americans went without basics for years.

These are tiny numbers. The block I live on has at least a hundred residents.
The high school football teams around here have 50-60 players on the roster.

Again, insignificant numbers at the protests.
