Because liberals will support even murderers as long as they are
liberal blacks.

I don't think anybody ever accused Sharpton of murder except of the
English language...

I thoughgt it was an oblique reference to Sharpton [allegedly!]
smearing MLK's blood on him after his assassination but realized
he's referring to the Freddie's Fashion incident, in which Al got
people to set the store on fire with people inside.

I understood that Hegseth was a Navy Seal. That hardly equates to
"minimal military experience".

Oops. I was apparently misinformed. But his experience is still hardly
what I would call "minimal" given that he was in the military for 18
years as an officer:

I'll take your word, I don't give enough of a shit about that clown to >>look up his bio.

Harry Truman never rose above captain.

By that "logic" Nixon was a far better president than JFK since he
exited the navy as a lt. commander while JFK's final rank was
lieutenant. (He was a lieutenant jg when he gained fame in PT-109)

Don't bother trying to apply logic to someone with chronic TFS.
