(5,723 posts)Republicans accused Real-President Obama of trying to steal the credit from Seal Team Six (which of course was absolute horseshit).
Now the same ones who still live will either sit quietly, or go on TV to scream their support while Puppet Sharpie gives himself medals and finally gets his damn military parade. The Dotard will be bellowing "Thank me!" at random victims even more often than usual for days to come.
