      I know you’re joking, but it’s not “nowadays”, it’s this administration. Corruption from the top down…

    Getting hep c and being discharged with 1 week of boot camp left seemed like a curse when I was 21…but now that I have seen all the bullshit Trump is doing…at 33 I can say thank God for hep c.

          Well, in your case is the “state fair carnival ride that was on the evening news”-kind of swinging and roundingabout.

          You know, the kind of a ride that you know at least three people that broke their elbows and somehow makes your cousin twitch every time he hears a pneumatic brake.

            That made me chuckle, thanks friend… I was having a mood swing, and ya put a smile on my face.

            It was definitely a funny way for the universe to save my ass. Took the wind outta my sails though. I wanted to serve since I was a wee lad. But I’m a different man now.

        I actually got the first cure. The shoots and pills Made me sick as a dog, but from what they told me, I was good. Honestly would like to get rechecked just to be sure.

        Which I got through a program.

          I have known a lot of people with hep c, all the older junkies from generations prior to mine had it it seemed, I used to have junkie roommates which ended very predictably, with them stealing my shit and selling it for pennies on the dollar. But some of their junkie acquaintances were ok, they were like in their 50’s and still doing fine, they just couldn’t drink much if at all and idk what else. Opiates for all of their faults don’t harm any organ systems.

            Yep. The thing for me is I was straight edge till I was discharged. I had wanted to serve since I was like 6 yrs old, and I kept myself out of trouble. I never knew how I got it. I will say, my mother got tested after I had called her from Paris Island and told her. She had it. My dad, however, refused to get tested.

      I’m the same age. When I graduated college 10 years ago my dad tried talking me into the air force. I’m so glad I didn’t do that; I would have despised serving under this President.

      I was considering going into the army, in 2001, after the election, I figured the leadership would get us into a war I would not want to be involved in. Nailed it.

    Kirk, a former Miss Arizona beauty pageant winner, was also recognized by Trump during the president’s State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress in February.

    She was hired because of nepotism her qualifications…

      She was hired because she’s proven herself to be a valuable psychopath and propaganda operative; those are the only relevant qualifications to the American nazi party.

          I don’t know about that, she’d be useful to point to so they can say “see, we’re not racist! We tolerate her existence!”

          Vance is not getting the succession though. Ha. That fucking tool? No one likes him, that’s why he was chosen, so the big man wouldn’t be shunted aside for him.

          After the dust has settled, Vance will be chopped liver mark my words. Hopefully this cynical bitch throws in her lot with him and get wasted too. Silver lining.

    Oh my god, congratulations Erika. Look how far you got exploiting that bullet in your husband’s neck! Amazing. I’m sure his gay rumours were untrue, and that you loved each other so much! I hope you also one day get that closeted couch fucker away from his dirty foreigner wife! Such inspiration. Beautiful.

      Her ability to crank the afterburners on benefitting in her career from her husband dying has impressed even the Air Force’s most aggressive fighter pilots.

      Only the toughest Warfighters can execute sich high-Greed maneuvers.

      Screen presence, kinda attractive, sycophant, rich (ish). Ya’know, the only criteria he gives a fuck about.
