    1. @Life is better when I do something. The Democrats abandoned the working class when Clinton was electd in the 1990s. They are now GOP-lite wallowing in identity politics. Time to start a new party that is actually on the left

    2. Why aren’t you taking about the court decision in Pennsylvania? 🤣🤣. Court reverses certification you cheaters. Here we come Supreme Court.

    3. @N 827 lmao that Qanus meeting held in that hotel lobby? Lmao … that was nothing more than a big pity party 😁

  1. Sadly, people are mistaken if they think the cult can be reached, there has to be a desire for peace and some kind of relationship with the truth to bring people together, the cult has neither!

    1. The last person to realize it’s a cult….and the people inside the cult.

      Happy Thanksgiving, my man! 🦃🍲🍻🥧

    2. @Ro G I see you created your account only 14 years ago. I guess you’re a Chinese troll

    3. Why aren’t you taking about the court decision in Pennsylvania? 🤣🤣. Court reverses certification you cheaters. Here we come Supreme Court.

  2. We would all be lucky to have a friend like Mr Donahue. A man that goes halfway around the world just to give his friends a beer is a true friend for life. That would make for a great Quentin Tarantino movie!

  3. Someone with a patriotic character. To die for his country if that what fate had in store. Neither suckers or losers. Compare yourself to this man Mr. Trump. You are kind of small aren’t you?

    1. Why aren’t you taking about the court decision in Pennsylvania? 🤣🤣. Court reverses certification you cheaters. Here we come Supreme Court. We go to court in Georgia Monday 🤣

    1. @William H No, it was just a floor party. You don’t need a reason to celebrate to throw a party in college. Or did you not get into college, let alone get invited to any parties? 🤔

    1. Why aren’t you taking about the court decision in Pennsylvania? 🤣🤣. Court reverses certification you cheaters. Here we come Supreme Court.

    2. @N 827 Nothing burger, even if they turned Penn WHICH THEY LEGALLY CAN’T……BIDEN STILL HAS ENOUGH EC……TRUMP LOSES

    1. @William H Sorry Will but you guys have Zero evidence.
      Trump is still trying to prove Democrats cheated in 2016 and has zero luck.

  4. If you know someone who lost a love one due to the virus this year, they sure could use a call of compassion from you during the holidays. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

  5. Why aren’t you taking about the court decision in Pennsylvania? 🤣🤣. Court reverses certification you cheaters. Here we come Supreme Court.

  6. That’s not true the “greatest beer run” is my childhood, I’ve been driving since I was 9 years old. Because my dad was too wasted.

  7. *MAYBE* @1:13 the protestors were protesting against the WAR not “the GIs”? Mitchell smugly offers some claptrap at the end. Vietnam Vets Against the War & Sec. Kerry were vocal. We’re in the middle of one of the most divisive times since then & this is on? It’s supposed to be a “feel-good” holiday piece? Does Mitchell know/owe this guy? He can’t speak properly & he ‘wrote’ this book? I know that union hall, by old St. Vincent’s hospital; there was another on Astor Place & most Merchant Mariners can write well, if not Joseph Conrad. BTW they did sell beer, & lots more, in bars in Vietnam. He’s lucky he didn’t get anyone killed & also that his friends came back; a lot of us had friends who didn’t, or if they did, had drug & other serious problems even if they came back in one piece.
