Welcome. Guidelines:

Be respectful. Disagree, but no personal attacks.

Correct with kindness: ok to correct comments, but cite source (a link is best!)

Zero tolerance for taking over sovereign nations!

Thanks for being here and for helping us keep this a space for allies, not enemies.

Before it gets better, it gets worse. The more we stand up to them, the more they will punish. But we outnumber them. We hold the power. We're the consumers. They need us.

Remember this as they commit atrocities...and they will. It's not normal. Don't allow them to scare you into submission.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of. It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.” #cdnpoli

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

When did the rules for training change? Or for even salutes?

In 25 years of service we were NEVER allowed to fire live rounds anywhere near the civilian population.

Who the fuck is in charge here?

USMC! You have FAILED!

Take your red stripes off and go home.

Failure on an epic scale.

FAIL!
