Feel this is a good accompanying piece for all the folk insisting on caping for a Blackwater merc wth a nazi tattoo because he said something they liked.

    You have a hard on for this guy. He was a Marine infantryman. They are not the deepest of thinkers. If I got condemned for all the stupid shit I did when I was on active duty then I would have no friends. We all make mistakes and mature. You have a nice day.

      We all make mistakes and mature.

      Was it maturing when he joined Blackwater? What about when he defended his nazi tattoo 5 years back?

      Believe me, I am all for giving people room to grow. He hasn’t done that. He shot a bunch of brown people for uncle sam, joined Blackwater, shot a bunch of brown people for money, and then took over an oyster farm where he himself acknowledges he is dependent on his disability checks. And, during that time, found a chance to defend the nazi tattoo he had on his chest to randos on the internet.

      Then, when he was caught, 20 years after getting it, 5 years after defending it, he lied about not knowing what it was.

      And, during that time, he seems to have never done much meaningful activist or charity work and has no political career whatsoever.


      Also: Personally, I don’t think “only ate crayons, didn’t shove them up his nose” is a good qualifier for the Senate. I at LEAST want to know that my senators will just sign their names in crayon rather than consume them.
