I am running out of people to blame for our despicable America.
Tomorrow I'll wear my Viet Nam Veteran hat (to me it is the same as MAGA).
Obama was the first president younger than me. I do not wish
"thoughts and prayers" because I am a NONES (none of the above religion).

MAGA , to me, is deplorable. I got fukin drafted without bone spurs. I was never AWOL,
No deferments like Cheney. I am a registered Democrat. I wear my vet hat to show my critics
that I served, I also have a FUGWB hat and Dennis Kucinich signs.

That cartoon makes me feel guilty.
