He was an Eisenhower Republican who took pride in his Naval service - on the U.S.S. Ranger.

he is a retired Marine, retired leo and full throttle big mouthed MAGAt.

After trumps first indictment, he started flying a very large "ULTRA MAGA" flag. All I see is "LOOK HOW STUPID I AM" flag.

He will never be contrite, or self aware.

I would like to pick his 4 brain cells so he can make me understand why his hero is his hero. Anti-military, anti police.......How do they justify this? I keep thinking about the movie "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." For the life of me, I am unable to logically figure this out.

And I've seen trucks around here flying those flags and one even had a full sized Confederate flag - and I'm in New York. All I can think is that it's a kind of mental illness, being susceptible to propaganda. And why would anyone subscribe to something so offensive?
