I backed into a spot near a guy in another semi facing the opposite direction. We parked and got our gear together for a team shower, and as I was climbing down, the driver from that semi walked up to me and asked what my sticker meant.
I said that it meant that Russia put Trump in office, and he countered No, they just proved that.
I told him the wording was Russian government, and it wasnt an ambassador who met with the campaign in the Trump Tower for supposed orphans. He shrugged it off, so I asked him if it was nothing, why did they lie about it. He said it didnt matter, and I asked him why he was ok with a hostile foreign power selecting our president, and his reply was that if they did, they did the best thing possible for us.
I told him he is shitting on every veteran who ever served and was a fucking traitor.
Then I lost my shit and told him what I really thought of him.
Felt good.

(565 posts)Shellback here too! I got mine during UNITAS 22 or 23 If I recall correctly. Keep up the good fight!

On Edit. Holy shit, I probably crossed on a Unitas exercise too, but in 80 or 81.

(565 posts)Crossed in 1983. USS Spiegel Grove LSD-32.

(108,977 posts)The only question is whether Barr is truthful in saying Mueller found that Trump people didn't coordinate this with the Russian government.
Bernardo de La Paz
(48,999 posts)The key term Mueller used was "did not establish collusion". That sounds like a high level of proof.
Barr twisted it and weasel-worded it: he say "did not find collusion". As if there was zero evidence which we know is false.
pnwmom
(108,977 posts)much more narrowly than in the Rosenstein appointment letter.
Rosenstein didn't limit the investigation into coordination with the Russian "government" and he didn't limit it to activities related to the social media and election interference.

(884 posts)Barr didn't say Mueller found that Trump people didn't coordinate.
He said Mueller didn't find that they did.
A somewhat logical conclusion to Mueller's investigation whatever the facts, if say, Barr killed it.

(1,117 posts)Seriously.
The average undereducated Trumper hates the namby pamby academic style conversation you typically see on TV and in the pages of the NYT. They understand yelling and passion.
I try to yell at Trumpers when I see them. Or just call them suckers, and if they yell at me I yell back.

(6,699 posts)Takes guts....and is also often dangerous to confront these nut cakes, but good for you. Proud of you. I'd do the same, but then I'd have to watch my vehicle for the cowardly bastards would want to key me. Much better to debate the ignorant traitors.
I salute you!

denbot
(9,899 posts)Ive had that sticker for over 2 years. It is an ingrained habit to only release my tractor brake and give the trailer a little tuggie-tug to make sure its connected every time Im out of site of my rig.
The fucking traitor is in a D&N rig across from me, and I am certain he knows Ill yard him out and collect my due if there is a single thing untoward in, on, or around my rig.☠️

(23 posts)Well said friend
Worth every penny, if for no other reason than it is money that Cadet Bone Spur won't be able to use for his stupid white supremacist wall.
Also don't forget that even though the investigation could cost up to $35 million, Paul Manafort agreed to forfeit assets estimated to be worth at least $42 million.
Peace, Shalom, Salaam, Ké.

(6,448 posts)I've been cautious about sounding off in public. I might get away with it now that I'm in a wheelchair. We'll see how gutless those folks are, attacking a guy with one leg.
You can't convince people of truths who refuse to acknowledge facts. They have blind confidence in the man because they don't know what a confidence man is.
