(25,586 posts)Parler is a United States-based microblogging and social networking service launched in August 2018. Parler has a significant user base of Trump supporters, conservatives, and Saudi nationalists. Posts on the website often contain far-right content,[9] antisemitism,[12][discuss] and conspiracy theories.[13] The site has been described as an alternative to Twitter, and is popular among people who have been banned from mainstream social networks, or who oppose their moderation policies.[14][4][15]
Sounds like a lovely place.

I will be surprised if we ever speak again. He's in TX (when he's state-side) and I am in IL. He's spent most of the last 20 yrs working for contractors in Iraq. I believe one of the contractors was Xe. He is a specialist in training bomb and drug sniffing dogs. He did that in the Army, too.
