    That’s the power of the E-4 mafia. Troops overweight? Not on paper they aren’t.

    Why didn’t they check their weight beforehand and save the money on shipping them around…

    The men should not be in the National Guard. They are clearly ICE material.

    When Texas sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

      We really need to build a very high, thick, strong wall around Texas. And make Texas pay for it. If you elect me President. I will make sure we build the wall!

        And then toss a bunch of guns over the wall and wait for the sounds of shooting to die down.

      Except their dicks. S’why they compensate so much, with all their guns and general assholeishness.

              Which is why Texas (state of freedum) regulates owning said devices. Can’t let women actually experience happiness.

                Women can only experience happiness when it is legally meted out by an eligible man. /S

    This is how you can enlist fellow patriots like Jimmy John and Jersey Mike to get out of having to point guns at your fellow citizens on the whim of some grotesque madman.
