I don't think it sounds bad, the man is a jackass diva.

And in the military we win the war first and worry about polite conversation and niceties
later.

I have been a strong advocate for women and gay rights since I have been a kid.
I have earned the right to say my say.

Newsom is right. Win the gd war by any means possible, sort the rest out later.

If we do not do this, NONE OF US WILL HAVE ANY RIGHTS EVER AGAIN.

We need to stay focused and beat the hell out of MAGA.
