On paper there is no way in hell that Harris/Walz wins. Their background, social media, record, all of it, should send everybody left, right, and center running. But that's on paper. We know that the left will vote for any Democrat, regardless of how horrible they are.
I fixed it. I read that like four times before I realized my mistake.
Until she's getting tagged by 4 dudes that home invaded her, giving her the money shots while Tim the cuck, watches.
Zoinks!
Oh, if I were Vance, I'd be like, oh hells na bitch!
My brother in Christ, this is a misunderstanding of the bare facts of the case.
He claimed he served in OEF; that's not true. He "deployed" for a couple of months to Italy in support of the ODYSSEY series—not Iraq, not Afghanistan, Italy. He had ORDERS to Iraq. He retired. Another man took his place and deployed for *nearly two years*.
Now, you can make whatever equivocation you want due to whatever personal biases you may have, and that's fine. But Walz didn't earn the rank of E9, ever. Guess what? I was the SEL (in Air Force, "Chief") of a unit for a brief time while my E9 was deployed. Then I retired. Did I retire as a CMSgt? By your logic here, I sure did. Can't wait to tell people. In reality- nope. I was an E8. Cause that's what's on my retirement order. And that's what matters, and you're smart, and you know that. So that means you're being obtuse on purpose. Quit it.
You know as well as I do that "finishing your service" does NOT mean "retired" in the context of military service, and he most certainly never "deployed in support of OEF and carried weapons of war." That's a lie.
So the question is, was he wearing the rank or in a billet?
Billet. E8, in an E9 billet.
He was ‘wearing the rank’ because, for the third time, *the Army will let you put a patch with the rank on your uniform while serving in the position so your subordinates grant you professional deference but not promote you or pay you for that rank until you’re actually promoted to that rank*.
He was never an E9. He was not a CSM. He sat in the office and did the work. Then he retired cause he didn’t wanna go to Iraq. So the army retired him as an E8. Because he wasn’t an E9.
Bro you obviously have the internet. Please help me help you here.

Some Leftists and RINO's don't think projection be like it is, but it do.

The Army, Guard/Reserves in paticular, is weird in that we'd do what you're describing with your brother (Frocking) as well as actually promote people before PME and demote them if they didn't complete it.
It's called a STEP promotion now, used to be called a conditional promotion. You get the rank and pay under this, then you'd need to complete your school within 12-36 months (depending on rules) or you'd lose the promotion.
I see this type of promotion much more often than I do frocking.
Doesn't change that he retired as an E8, but it is possible he was an E9 with pay.

Frocking is a big thing for navy enlisted. All the responsibility of the higher rank, none of the bennies.
If he was being paid as an E9, he’s an E9. But I’ll stop beating this dead horse and go back to watching dudes bench pressing chicks.
Everyone acting like the "voters" are going to put some sense into this election. Vote for whoever you like, live with the consequences.
I can see Harris winning, the hatred for Trump is so deep. They could do a few interviews saying they won't ban fracking (Pennsylvania), we will push universal healthcare/abortion (Minnesota, Michigan), swing states won etc, then turn around and turn this place into Venezuela within a few years.
