Our interaction with active military Army Master Sargeant this morning.

[yankeepants]

I have a dog board/training business and this man's dog has been coming here for 5 years for daycare and boarding. I have a strict "no politics" policy where my business is concerned. So before the morning rush to get dogs in, I joked with Mr. Yankeepants about asking Mst. Sarge how he feels about being called a Sucker.
Mr. Yankeepants being a vet and respectfully impulsive, asked our man (to my horror) "How do you feel about being called a sucker?

He paused and said "Oh that was in "The Atlantic" It's just fake news" . Mr. YP pressed further and asked basically "How do you square with dotard saying what he said about John McCain?" He trailed off incoherently and got in his car and left.

Mr.YP is in the doghouse for breaking business policy but it was an eye opening moment. The Mst. Sarge is not a sucker for serving this country, he's a sucker for believing in Trump.

1. sigh

yes, a delusional brainwashed sucker, part of his base.

8. The base does not care what tRump says as long as he hates liberals... That's the bottom line.

Like the evangelicals and the P***y comment.. It's ok as long as they get their anti liberal agenda pushed forward...

11. A GOPer told me she didn't believe the story because "Fox News lies all the time"

[Cha]

13. the only one who "LIES ALL the TIME" is her FAKE god, donaldtrump.

I can't even stand to write his name.. he's The Evil PUPPET.

[BainsBane]

3. his reaction

Is exactly how most of Trump's voters will respond. The fact is they don't care if it's true or not, and it won't affect their votes. They stopped caring about the truth a very long time ago.

4. Good for you for having a strict "no politics" policy.

More businesses should have that.

I am actually picturing Mr. Yankeepants as being in a literal doghouse at your business, and am getting a great deal of amusement from that mental image.

5. He's in the doghouse now....

9. Love Hank's music.. PBS had a great series on Country music and Hank was a big part of it..nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. Loving the backing music on those classic C/W recordings.

and that this music is still widely available today.

6. What I think is not talked about enough is that TRUMP thinks Trump voters are suckers and losers

He's said it a million times in a million different ways, and they just. won't. believe. him.

If the Dear Leader can't make them understand that he thinks that, what chance do us reality-based people have?

[TreasonousBastard]

7. I keep saying politics and religion have in common that...

that they both insist on the belief of unprovable things and even things that fly in the face of observed reality.

This is why they are not to be discussed in polite company

[Buckeyeblue]

10. I remember reading a section in Armies often Night...

Where Norman Mailer argued that we needed more liberals to join the military to keep it balanced. Is argument was that if only conservatives joined the military, it would be out of balance. In hindsight I think he was probably right.
