Harold Gonsalves threw himself on a grenade to save his fellow Marines during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II. Now Trump's Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is erasing Gonsalves from military databases as part of his anti-diversity purge.

On 20 Jan 2029, how on Earth can the next non-Republican Party administration even begin righting all the wrongs of the satanic Trumpf junta? And there's two more years of gehenna coming.

Bridges, highways, and an airport named after Trumpf, the US currency blighted with his signature and face, fired federal employees, destroyed USIC, CDC, and military careers, vaccine reversals, failed home mortgages, lost national parks to the oligarchs (watch Utah), trillions siphoned off by the plutocrats and the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF), heroes restored to prominence at the DOD (which must be renamed), resurrecting all the dead folks killed by the dismantling of USAID and malnutrition caused by the BBB, Gaza absorbed by Israel, reactionary SCOTUS justice appointments, endangered species killed, repairing the White House and Wash DC, more air and water pollution from those infernal AI surveillance centers, scrapping all the new police powers of DHS and ICE, restoring companies that went bankrupt, the trillion dollar federal debt, etc etc.

Gosh, I'm sure glad the 2024 Democrats were more concerned about 7.7m Israeli Jews over 346,113,769 Americans of all denominations and classes (Jews, Buddhists, atheists, Catholics, Muslims, Society of Friends (Quakers), Orthodox Christians, Sikhs, Unitarians, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Pentecosts).

Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, another day that will live in profound infamy.

"But the hostages!"

As the group approached the front, a Japanese grenade landed in their midst. Without hesitation or reservation, Gonsalves threw himself on it. He absorbed the full blast and fragmentation, saving his comrades who all emerged unharmed.

What a coincidence. Roofie Pete threw himself on an unconscious woman after he drugged her.

The Israeli stalkers are back! Like CutiePie and A. Fiend!

Where have 'ya been?

Since you're plonked like the other Israeli losers, your "FUNNY" response will suffice.

Good thing I don't need my cannister of Mace on drudge.com.

Woke...as in becoming aware of one's conditioning and need to change...one of the better things about me personally. I was raised as a white male in New England, and finally saw the need for full suffrage for women and those not white. One of the greatest gifts given to our America was that the move to civil rights was run by Martin Luther King Jr., in a non violent civil disobedience way.
What PFC Gonsalves did was of the greatest courage, in a time when a black man was definitely seen as a second class citizen.
