Most of them are “independent” libertarians… which is another crazy thing. They are against taxes that are literally used to give them a paycheck. The military had a lot of low information voters.

    Retired service member here. This caller is the kind of service member who always looked to bend and break the rules. If a plain standard was enforced they ALWAYS translated it as an attack. Fake victims in waiting.
    So of course he wants FPTrump to get special treatment as this caller demands the world function in this manner.
    Caller has zero grasp of facts but will laugh at actual facts to save his sensitive ego. I loved every second in which I wasn’t forced to have to navigate their entitled attitudes when I served. His self soothing arrogance is almost a trademark of these type of people. Respect their service but after that it falls hard.

      IF it ever goes to trial, Trump's defense will be that taking bribes from foreign governments was part of his "official duties" and he can't be prosecuted for it. I recall seeing that there was an investigation launched into this, but it was squashed. Everyone who signed off on that deserves to be tried BUT I don't know how that could happen if the main man is immune.

    I wonder if this guy is even a vet. After everything you pointed out about Trumps distain for the troops the deal made with the Taliban, all this guy had was..how great it is going to when Trump wins. His Schadenfreude is all he's got.
