She didn't want to deploy to D.C.
"She hated it. She cried about it."

Hitler killed people with disabilities. Ponder that. The “occupant” is quickening perception that it’s ok to mock, attack those who live with disabilities. And his minions slobber over him because he’s “pro-life”. 😫
It is not lost on me that Trump
& “friends” using the R word, and multiple other dehumanizing statements of any culture, is part of the war on people with disabilities and straight out of The Hitler playbook 😑
It’s not only to be the pig he is.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.
