25. *AND* they will be mocked by the wingnuts

Tue Jul 27, 2021, 11:03 AM

Jul 2021

For all of my 74 years except for the past five years I have heard the Republicans claim to be more American, more patriotic, more supportive of the military and law enforcement. Since 2015 their leader - AND THEY - have attacked and denigrated all of those categories, things they would have called treason if done by anybody else.

The witnesses have cried describing their injuries and the physical and emotional pain, the insults against their service and their patriotism and their race - and it is predictable that they will be mocked by the wingnuts for their tears.
