Hell No We Won’t Go!
(Sorry had mental flash there)
Our dear leader has decided that he might do something that presidents of the past have done…call up the national guard for police work….
Vets are strong against using any military against civilians….that is tantamount of the policies of a third world dictator.

The word is “ANTIFA” (caps for effect only)…..

Personally I was pleased to see these folks show up and take on the fascist scum….and now the word ANTIFA is once again in the news……and once again the old professor will help you understand these protesters.
