record. i could never foresee the american people electing someone like donald trump. i m just wondering, it s a little off topic but i was curious when this happened to get your take on it. when the president talked about having the military and the police and construction workers and bikers on his side and that they re tough people and, you know, that they re peaceful and he hopes they stay that way but it would get really bad if they didn didn t, i was surprised by that. i don t know of other ways to look at it other than he s saying he has armed forces on his side, he s saying he has the police. that seems to be the kind of message you would hear from some dictator in some other country, from some wannabe strongman. when i heard that, i was infuriated. on multiple levels. first, what an insult to our military, particularly to the officer corps.
