13. The most sickening part of all this is...
Tue Mar 31, 2026, 10:27 AM
Yesterday

... the fact that I have heard first-hand accounts from an active duty service member that 95% of his fellow enlistees are rabid Trump-humpers. The young fellow in question was one of them, but, I am relieved to report, he has since seen the light.
He did some homework after his grandmother, who raised him, told him not to bother coming home or calling her until he'd done the minimum of research necessary to see what an evil sonofabitch Trump actually is. She gave him the Cliff Notes version of Trump's history, he followed up, and was aghast at how ill-informed he and his buddies really were.
One small happy ending.
