![]() ‘Marjorie Taylor Greene was put in her place by Ruben Gallego after she tweeted that Democrats are the "enemy within" and that our policies put "America last." Ruben's response was perfect: "I was trying to figure what type of pen to stab your friends with if they overran us on the floor of the House of Representatives while trying to conduct a democratic transition of power. So please shut your seditious, Qanon loving mouth when it comes to who loves America." Ruben is running against Kari Lake for Kristen Sinema’s seat in the U.S. Senate. Ruben, the son of immigrants, grew up on the south side of Chicago. He became the first college graduate in his family when he earned a degree from Harvard. Ruben served as an infantryman in Iraq with the United States Marines Corps. He currently represents AZ 3 in Congress.’ |

![]() In other news, quote: what I remember about that time, is that the draft was "full-on in effect". There were only a few types of deferments that might allow you to be omitted. The numbering system came AFTER my enlistment so there were NO lottery number exceptions. For kids like me it was you had to be in college or you would be drafted. Or, you had to be missing an arm or a leg or something else equally bad.
