Every eligible voter needs to get out there and vote in the midterms. If the Democrats don’t take back Congress, our country is lost forever.
The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words: “Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.” That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition
