It’s so fun watching how little it takes to trigger the Commies.

Good thing we’re not playing the drinking game based on that.

We’d be in a drunken stupor with the Left all the time.

The Star Spangled Banner

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

I saw the Beach Boys play on the famous art museum steps in Philly on July 4th in 1985. Jimmy Page actually came out and p!ayed a set with them.

“There are also road wheels for tanks.”

I didn’t know that. I’m guessing they were designed specifically so the tanks can be “driven” down roads without doing unnecessary damage. If there are enough tires to evenly distribute the load onto the road surface there should be no problem.

“Tanks on trailers, sure. Tanks on the streets? Tank tracks will do a real number on asphalt in the summer.”

Don’t sweat it, there are ways to deal with that:

The CIC can put a M1A2 in Statuary hall if he felt like it.

The District of Columbia should not be represented in the House.
(Repeal The 23rd)


As I understand it, she is a non voting delegate in Congress, and does not vote on legislation.

Why do DC and Puerto Rico, and I think the Virgin Islands and Guam also, have non-voting delegates in Congress? I don’t know the answer to that.

She’s just another stupid Affirmative Action bitch put into a position WAAAYY beyond her competence.
And hasn’t anybody ever told the idiot, desk bound, fake generals at the Pentagon that tanks can be equipped with highway tracks, just hard rubber grousers on the treads.

Doesn’t anybody know anything about moving heavy equipment on hard surface streets?
