Marco Rubio as Sec. of State? Are you fucking kidding me?!?!?

To all those who served, and those currently in uniform: 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪.

From a long-haired, hippy-dippy, left-wing, tree-huggin' pot smokin' Deadhead: 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪.

We all owe you so very much.

Somebody once said, the best way to honor our veterans is to not create new ones. I like that.
