@TheQuietVoter@BadSant04927827@atrupar Not at all. I don't give a shit if you're a dem or repub. I never looked at political affiliation, just enforced the law. If Trump or Biden wanted to sell me a kilo of cocaine, I'd set the deal up & buy bust em. The same dems who went after Kavenaugh for some BS embrace Platner.
@TheQuietVoter@BadSant04927827@atrupar I wouldn't call it ashamed. He only covered it when called out on it and while running for office (D). I'm sure he loved the original tat along with the way he mistreated women for many years. Not sure why the dems give him a pass on that. 🤔
@TheQuietVoter@BadSant04927827@atrupar Platner knew what he was getting that's the reason why he covered it up. Being a veteran doesn't always mean the person is righteous.
@TheQuietVoter@BadSant04927827@atrupar I paid a bunch of informants for 26 years. You pay to infiltrate and gather Intel/evidence to build a case.. You don't constantly fund actual criminal acts.
@turkeyloin That's correct🎯. The SPLC has paid informants to stir up and manufacture the hate they claim to fight. That's like a fire department paying arsonists to start fires then saying "look at our great work fighting fires." They're a fraudulent group.
All to keep the money flowing in.
“Retreat? Hell, We Just Got Here!”
Today, we remember the legacy of Marines who fought at the Battle of Belleau Wood during World War I, helping to cement the Corps' reputation as the world's premier fighting force.
During the intense battle, the 4th Marine Brigade, comprised of the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments, and the 6th Machine Gun Battalion, fought aggressively through the wheat fields and woodlands in France, helping to stop a major German advance toward Paris in 1918. The Battle of Belleau Wood became a major turning point for the Corps, providing Marines with experience in large scale operations.
Legend has it that Marines were later called Teufel Hunden ("Devil Dogs" in German) due to the relentless tenacity while taking enemy positions during the battle. Because of the Marines’ unwavering commitment, the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments were awarded the French Croix de Guerre, an award presented to individuals or units for acts of valor and bravery on the battlefield.
Semper Fidelis.
