She says they hate it. They want everything to be easy.

It’s never going to be easy for them. We have the genes of people who came over on the Mayflower running through the population.

We have the genes of people who left their homeland to live in a democracy running through the population.

It will never be easy.

And my maternal grandmother came here at 15 from Poland in 1912. And both of my grandfathers, one Irish, the other Polish, fought in WWI. And yet TFG has the nerve to lecture career military officers tomorrow??

My paternal ancestors came here in the mid to late 1800s and my maternal ancestors, well, some were here for millennia, the European part got here in the early 1700s. My paternal grandfather fought in WWI, my dad in WWII and the Korean thing, was involved with recon during the Cuban missile thing. I grew up in the military and I respect those who serve. This really pisses me off, if half of the vets from those wars mentioned were young enough to do something now, they'd have already done something about these fuckers. At this point, I'm glad that most aren't here to see this shitshow.
