Hell likely be deported soon back to his native New Zealand, despite serving in the U.S. military for seven years, and building a life in Central Florida for more than 25 years.
Semper Fi from a USAF vet. My country makes me cry.

That's been clearly stated in Russell Vought's obscene bible, Project 2025. This is state-sponsored terrorism; there's no other word for it, and even if we don't get beat up or murdered on our own street, we will live in constant fear of it, and that's their gold ring on this carousel of cruelty. Constantly terrified people are easier to control. Until they aren't.
There's going to be a lot more bloodshed before this is over, and a desperate psychopath like Trump is capable of anything. Don't ever forget that, and only deluded fools dismiss it.

(6,879 posts)One 1900-1904. The other 1904-1929. They cared enough about their new country and were willing to give it their all. We native born don't always appreciate how much it means to be an American.
Or is it that you don't understand why our stupid leaders care so little about those who care so much? I can agree, wholeheartedly, with that thought.
