#1 Mr. Trump's gift is ripping the mask off the oligarchy.

#2 I've never heard of a lawyer, after becoming a lawyer, picking up a weapon and fighting as an infantryman. Perhaps of the 1.3 million American lawyers there are one or two. If so, I stand corrected.

#3 I have learned to hate all traitors, and there is no disease that I spit on more than treachery.

#4 Trump has certainly exposed the fact that the political class coup was all but complete and Trumps efforts to clear it up were futile. They will make an example of Trump as to warn all others from fighting the Political elites. I suspect the supporters in office will get visits from the FBI and IRS until they are completely non effective.

A notable exception would be Tom Cotton.

#6 One of the officers in my (IDF) reserve unit was a (very) criminal lawyer.

#8 Josh Mandel, two-term Ohio state treasurer. Got his JD, then spent eight years in the Marine Corps Reserves, not as a JAG but working his way up to sergeant with an intelligence specialty. Served two tours in Iraq.

His wife fell ill with something undefined in 2018 while he was running to replace Senator Sherrod Brown, so he stepped aeay from politics to take care of her. They were quietly divorced earlier this year. I hope by 2022 he will be ready to return to the fray — he would work happily with the growing contingent of conservative warrior-politicians, especially in Washington, DC.

#9 /\ ME deployments were very rough on families. I tend to blame frequent calls home and email. I could hear the frustration while sitting in Morale and Welfare tents (MWR). Some of the conversations in the phone room were very sad. Suicides were another product of the calls and emails.

#10 Any president taking office under these circumstances is illegitimate, just like the FBI. Call him "President Bastard".

#11 Just make sure you say "DR. Mrs. Bastard"

#12 Which is why "they" went to such an extent to get rid of Trump (and "populism"): He is an outsider, not a part of the DC establishment or even the New York banker gang. "They" just weren't going to let it happen again.
