> [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > Fool doubles down, then doubles again and gets slapped down > This comes after another story revealing that Majewski – who described himself in campaign promotional material as a “combat veteran” and said he was deployed to special operations in Afghanistan so harsh he was forced to go weeks at a time without showering – actually worked loading aircraft at a U.S. air base in Qatar. OMFG, _weeks_ without showering? While despicable in any event, stolen valor is _illegal_ only if money – like applying for benefits – is involved. I’d like to see that expanded to committed while running for office. ---

> “In a statement, Majewski acknowledged that he was punished for drunken driving, though he didn’t address why his campaign previously said his demotion was the result of a fight,” said the report. “‘This mistake is now more than 20 years old. I’m sure we’ve all done something as young adults that we look back on and wonder ‘what was I thinking?’ and I’m sure our parents and grandparents share these sentiments,’ Majewski said.” 20 years ago you were a drunk driver. Now, you’re a drunk driver and a liar. ---

Actually I don’t think dead girl will do it. If Trump was found with a dead prostitute the assumption by many would be that she was antifa and it was self defense. ---

How do you think that, no matter where you are in America – at a Trump rally in Oskaloosa, at a Nevada bordello, or at a Hardee’s in Mankato, Minnesota where the FBI seized your cell phone – the cell phone network knows just where to find you, and how to make the nearest cell tower cause your phone to go ringy-dingy? What I love about Trumpists is that their abject lack of intelligence is demonstrated so vividly and so often. ---

I guess that’s a corollary to something I’ve said often: “I understand it takes all kinds to make up a world, but why do I have to meet them”. Honestly, I’m tired of meatting trumpists.
