GOP senator slams 'radical leftist' Tim Walz for 'getting married on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square'

Republican Senator Ron Johnson attacked Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz over his ties to China, claiming it’s a red flag that the “radical leftist” got married “on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square.”

Speaking to Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business, the Wisconsin lawmaker and member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee said of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate: “She’s a radical leftist. She chose another radical leftist. They’re just assuming the mainstream media is not going to cover his background.

“The House is going to investigate it now — it’s very strange. He got married on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square. He’s gone to China. He’s taught in China. He’s got deep connections to China.”

Donald Trump’s conservative allies have tried hard to attack the Minnesota governor on a range of issues since he was chosen by Vice President Harris to join her on the Democratic ticket earlier this month, angered by Walz’s repeated attacks on Trump and his deputy JD Vance as “weird.”

1. Johnson is stupid and obviously scared that whatever Trump has on him might be released if he doesn't do as told

Even an idiot like him SHOULD know weddings are planned in advance and not suddenly decided because China takes action against protesters. But then, my neighbor who hails from WI says Johnson is so fucking dumb it's amazing he remembers to breathe in and out.

[heckles65]

12. What do you expect when

the Koch brothers appoint your senator?

[liberalgunwilltravel]

40. Don't forget

This is a Senator who spent the Fourth of July celebrating with Putin.

[KS Toronado]

57. So did mine, Jerry Moran

[BHDem53]

101. And mine, Thune.

[Harker]

82. +33. The hypocrisy is much larger than a bread box. n/t

[greblach]

93. That still amazes me...

Everyone of them that attended the Putin picnic needs to have their feet to the fire...Corn-pone Kennedy was there too I believe...maybe they had to be there to get their campaign contributions firmed up...

[3catwoman3]

68. "... it's amazing he remembers to breathe in and out."

There's a whole lotta folks who would be in big trouble if breathing were not a reflex.

[Cartoonist]

2. How is their investigation of Ivanka going?

And Jared?

[DENVERPOPS]

90. Shame the Republicans

didn't investigate what Ivanka and daddy had to give china in return for all the Chinese Patents they gave Ivanka......

8. I hear half the appliances in his house were manufactured in China.

Open and shut case

[usaf-vet]

94. He woudn't have a pot to p**s in if he hadn't married into wealth.

He is a useless excuse for a human being. I hope we will hold some congressional investigation when we control the reins of power.

1. RoJo relationship with Putin.
2. His involvement with ferrying the illegal elector's paperwork from Wisconsin to Washington to help Trump try to STEAL the 2020 election.

[Bev54]

4. LOL, this is what they are going with? Meet stupid.

[PedroXimenez]

5. so they downloaded all the data they could find on Walz

and ran it through a super computer, and this is all they could come up with?

[Irish_Dem]

17. Obviously they found nothing on Walz.

So they have to invent stuff.

[Blue Owl]

6. What a goddamned buffoon

[et tu]

7. and who went to russia on the 4th of july?

or was it another far right extreme country? so much

96. ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ this!!! ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️

[C0RI0LANUS]

9. Absurd. Asinine. GOP Senator Ron Johnson is a rank imbecile.

[Pinback]

10. Says the guy who spent July the 4th in Moscow

in 2018.

[SunSeeker]

35. I was just about about to post that! Republicans are masters of projection!

And Johnson is a total traitor.

From the WaPo article:

“What does July 4th mean to me? Freedom,” Sen. Ron Johnson chirruped on Twitter on Independence Day.

For the Wisconsin Republican, it meant, specifically, the freedom to spend July 4 in Moscow with seven other Republican lawmakers posing for propaganda photos with Russian officials. On the same day it was reported in Britain that two more people had been poisoned by a Russian nerve agent British officials say came from Vladimir Putin’s regime. On the day after the Senate Intelligence Committee affirmed the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia interfered in the election to help Donald Trump.

Johnson and his colleagues apparently exercised their freedom not to meet with opposition or civil society figures (those whom the Putin regime has not imprisoned or killed), avoiding the risk of offending their hosts. They also exercised their freedom to soft-pedal their criticism of the Russian government, leading Russian politicians and state media to mock them as supplicants.Yet despite this lavish display of the freedom to kowtow, they didn’t get the meeting they hoped for with Putin himself. He was busy, the Kremlin said.

There was a time, in the pre-Trump era, when Republicans would have erupted in fireworks over an Independence Day visit by submissive American lawmakers to the country the 2012 Republican presidential nominee called “our number one geopolitical foe.” (Relations have worsened considerably since then.) They called Jane Fonda “Hanoi Jane” and a traitor when she went to North Vietnam in 1972. After Democrats visited Iraq in 2002, Republicans ridiculed them as “Baghdad boys.”

[OAITW r.2.0]

95. I am betting that Russia probably broke into the GOP email systems.

And probably shared that info with Donald Trump. I'm also guessing that the trip to Moscow was mandatory for these Congress people.

[Walleye]

11. We should turn it on them, like they did with deplorables. We can wear T-shirts to say radical leftist.

[BattleRow]

86. How come I never hear the term

Radical Rightist?

[Walleye]

88. I guess because we know they're all radical. It's OK if you're a Republican.

[Butterflylady]

98. Yes there

We are radicals. We are going to eat babies, don't ya know.

[Jilly_in_VA]

116. On account of

the correct term is "Reactionary Rightist"!

[BattleRow]

119. I kind of like

Rabid Republicans..picture a tee shirt with a dog foaming at the mouth..

[Jilly_in_VA]

123. Not a dog though

Dogs are nice. Maybe a rat. Or a skunk. Skunks are known to carry rabies.

[BattleRow]

126. I was thinking

Mad Dog Donald..

[catbyte]

13. They're really reaching. Tiananmen Square was a democracy movement.

But, since Johnson is a Putin stooge, democracy is repugnant to the likes of him.

(Full disclosure, my late husband and I deliberately decided to get married on Bastille Day, lol.)

I hope my good neighbors across the Lake do a better job when this boob comes up for re-election.

[PedroXimenez]

23. that's a great point

he's suggesting Walz is pro-CCP but they don't exactly celebrate Tiananmen Square:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre

The Chinese government continues to forbid discussions about the Tiananmen Square protests[310][311] and has taken measures to block or censor related information, in an attempt to suppress the public's memory of the Tiananmen Square protests.[312] Textbooks contain little, if any, information about the protests.

[RussellCattle]

52. Exactly. That was my thought. He went to China "to join in their annual celebration of crushing.....

.......the student revolt". Ron, could you be more dumb?

[barbtries]

66. i got married on Flag Day

inadvertently. long since divorced, but i will never forget the date.

[Retrograde]

91. So did I!

It took Mr Retrgrade decades to remember my birthday but he never forgets our anniversary

[barbtries]

97. my ex forgot our anniversary once while we were still married.

i made him pay by cooking a great steak dinner, did I bake a cake? it's possible, and gave him 4 cards. he never forgot it again. he reused one of the cards I gave him and that was my gift. Funny thing as I recall I wasn't all that pissed off at him, but I just wanted him to suffer I guess.

[central scrutinizer]

14. I'm sure every date on the calendar is the anniversary of several somethings

Just go back far enough to find whatever fits your narrative

[durablend]

32. Trump born on June 14th--the same day China detonated a hydrogen bomb

That alone should disqualify him.

[C0RI0LANUS]

41. From one feline to another: Good shot!

[TheRickles]

43. I tried Googling to find Sen. Johnson's wedding date, to see what he commemorated by choosing that day.

And I couldn't find it anywhere online. So obviously he's hiding something big, and has scrubbed that damaging info from the Internet. He probably worked with the CIA on this, or Elon Musk. When will we find the real truth here?

(See how easy that was....)

[MoseShrute]

15. Damn

I’m screwed. My birth anniversary is 9/11. Few years earlier than the day that made rudyG famous, but still.

[onenote]

16. You know who doesn't want the June 4 massacre remembered? The Chinese government.

Johnson is a combination of stupid and stooge.

[DENVERPOPS]

92. The chinese massacre

doesn't bother the Repubs any more than any school shooting has in the U.S.

[hermetic]

18. Ron is a LIAR

Lies about everything. He lied about putting his assets in a blind trust. Said he'd only run for 2 terms. Claimed the '17 Tax Cut Jobs Act was for the Middle Class. Said no one was ever in danger during the Jan. 6 riot. Claimed Listerine was effective against COVID. Claims the 2020 election was stolen. Claimed 87,000 IRS agents are coming after us.
What a weirdo!

[IronLionZion]

19. He probably knows how to use chopsticks

the horror, the horror

[Blue Full Moon]

20. tRump lifted sanctions

And his dear daughter got an unbelievable amount of Chinese trademarks. Maybe there should be an investigation into his business and political dealings with them.

[EarlG]

21. OMG he got MARRIED on the anniversary of TIANANMEN SQUARE?

That was April 15, so he also got married on the anniversary of:

The sinking of the Titanic
The death of Abraham Lincoln
The debut of Jackie Robinson
The opening of the first McDonalds

Which frankly leaves me with several burning questions. Why did Jackie Robinson make his debut appearance on the anniversary of the death of Abraham Lincoln? Why did the first McDonalds open on the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic?

And more importantly, IS TIM WALZ RESPONSIBLE? AND IF SO, FOR WHAT?

I think Ron Johnson should start an investigation into these disturbing questions.

EDITED TO ADD IMPORTANT UPDATE:

It's been brought to my attention by Ron Johnson that Tim Walz actually got married on June 4, which is the first day of the Tiananmen Square massacre, not April 15, which is when the protests began. This means that he also got married on the same day that:

The Battle of Midway started
Jack Kevorkian carried out his first publicly assisted suicide
Mission Impossible won an Emmy for outstanding dramatic series
The original Gerber baby died aged 95

In other words, Tim Walz is definitely guilty of something.

[area51]

24. You win the internet today.

[yardwork]

29. And don't forget to ask why Trump is using the theme from Titanic.

Which just so happens to commemorate the uprising in Tiananmen Square.

Coincidence? I think not.

[question everything]

31. June 4

The protests were halted in a deadly crackdown, known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre, by the Chinese government on June 4 and 5, 1989.

https://www.history.com/topics/asian-history/tiananmen-square

In fact, Walz planned his wedding date to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the Tiananmen crackdown on June 4: “He wanted to have a date he’d always remember,” his future wife, then known as Gwen Whipple, told the newspaper.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016383219

[EarlG]

34. Thanks, I saw that just now and edited my post

I'm glad the facts have been straightened out and we can all agree that Tim Walz is definitely guilty of getting married on June 4.

[onenote]

60. Walz chose that date specifically because it was the date of the massacre, but not to honor it.

He wants it to be remembered. The only ones who don't want the date of the massacre to be remembered are the Chinese government officials who seek to stop any remembrance events each year. Oh, and I guess Ron Johnson doesn't want folks to remember the actions of the Chinese government in perpetrating the massacre either.

[Hekate]

115. We demand answers!

[BattleRow]

120. I got married on April 1

That's April Fool's Day..that proved prophetic.I tell ya!

[Jean Genie]

22. You can call me RJ, or...

Thanks, Senator. You nit-picking nimrod!

[question everything]

25. No earth shattering news. Open "secret"

Tim Walz Is Fascinated by China--and Disturbed by Its Human-Rights Record

[33taw]

26. Can I vote against him twice next time he runs?

[yardwork]

27. Ron Johnson may be the stupidest person who ever lived.

Just theoretically, if somebody WAS in cahoots with China - like Trump's daughter, for instance - why would they want to celebrate the uprising in Tiananmen Square?

[dobleremolque]

55. Oh, I think he'd give Tommy Tuberville a run for his renmenbi. n/t

[Mr.WeRP]

28. Weird.

[Aristus]

30. I was born on the 191st anniversary of the colonial victory at Saratoga.

That means I'm more patriotic than all of y'all.

Get out of my country!

[LymphocyteLover]

47. LOL!

[LisaM]

65. I was born on the anniversary of the first flight.

Therefore, the skies belong to me. Oh, and thanks to the state of North Carolina for honoring my birthday on all their license plates.

[fargone]

131. You gotta share with me

[Zoomie1986]

71. I'm the GOP's worst nightmare

I was born on the 49th anniversary of the ratification of the 16th Amendment that created the income tax.

[Zoomie1986]

74. My wedding anniversary?

Juneteenth (19 June). Easy to remember, especially now that it's a federal holiday.

[Stark Raving Sane]

33. Ron Johnson married on anniversary of Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia

On August 20, 1968, the Soviet Union led Warsaw Pact troops in an invasion of Czechoslovakia to crack down on reformist trends in Prague. Although the Soviet Union's action successfully halted the pace of reform in Czechoslovakia, it had unintended consequences for the unity of the communist bloc.

Ron Johnson anniversary post:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1296071053759547&id=119707748062556&set=a.119981308035200

[hadEnuf]

124. So while the US was embroiled in the Cold-War with the Soviet Union

Comrade Johnson decided to get married on the 9th anniversary of the Czechoslovakian invasion on August 20th, 1977? Was that a special date for you, Ronnie-Ivan??

And, it was only 5 days after the infamous "Wow!" signal. What's up with that, Ronnie??


Ron Johnson needs to resign and a full investigation needs to commence immediately.

[gordianot]

36. Just think some staffer came up with that tidbit.

Just imagine the tingle they got running down the leg to see this in print.

[keithbvadu2]

37. The same RoJo who celebrated July 4th in Russia?

[Blue Full Moon]

38. On 2nd thought

This is the most asinine statement. So in that spirit on 8/20/1977 Ron's marriage to Jane.
Hua Guofeng, the Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party and de facto leader. Declared that the Cultural Revolution was over. The purge of the gang of four marked a triumph conclusion. "Now, we are able to achieve stability and unity and attain great order across the land in compliance with Chairman Mao's instructions."
Sounds like a page from Project 2025. So him and Jane must have chosen that date to celebrate and work their hardest to get it installed here.

[underpants]

39. How about the four current US Senators who spent July 4 2018 in MOSCOW?

The GOP lawmakers, Sen. Richard Shelby (Ala.), Steve Daines (Mont.), John Thune (S.D.), John Kennedy (La.), Jerry Moran (Kan.) and John Hoeven (N.D.), and Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas), spent July 4 in Moscow’s U.S. Embassy, NPR reported.

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/395719-gop-senators-visited-moscow-on-july-4/

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

50. Ron Johnson himself was there too! On July 4, 2018 with 6 other senators

There were 7: The visit by seven Senate Republicans and one Republican from the House of Representatives included Wisconsin’s Senior Senator Ron Johnson, who chairs the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee Subcommittee on Europe and Regional Security Cooperation.

[underpants]

51. I thought he was but couldn't find a link with his name.

In addition to Shelby, who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee and has limited foreign policy responsibilities, the official congressional delegation featured Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), and Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas).

[RussBLib]

42. Walz taught for 1 yr in China

...from Wiki. I was not aware of this part of Walz history. Maybe he chose the date of the massacre on purpose. So what?

After graduating from Chadron State College in 1989, Walz accepted a one-year teaching position with WorldTeach in Foshan No.1 High School in Guangdong, China.[20][21] He described the Tiananmen Square massacre that happened right before he arrived as an important moment in his life.[22] He has said that the problem with China is not the people but the government, and that with the right leadership the Chinese people could accomplish anything.[23] After returning, he took a job teaching and coaching in Alliance, a town of ten thousand in western Nebraska,[23] and in 1993 was named Outstanding Young Nebraskan by the Nebraska Junior Chamber.[24]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Walz#:~:text=Early%20career-,Teaching,important%20moment%20in%20his%20life.

[mwb970]

44. OMG that's so stupid!!

Who listens to this moron anyway?

[rurallib]

45. Johnson probably can't tell us the date but I looked it up

April 15th, 1989. That's usually tax day in the US. But I then asked about April 15th in history and got this page here:

https://www.timeanddate.com/on-this-day/april/15

looks to me like this may be the big thing of the day:
1945 The German concentration camp Bergen-Belsen is liberated
British and Canadian troops found about 53,000 prisoners inside the camp. Tens of thousands died before and after the liberation.

Jesus Christ, Johnson anybody that doesn't laugh in your face on that one most be dead

[Zoomie1986]

79. Your date is off

That's when the protests started. They ended on 4 June. The Walzs married on the massacre date, 5 years later.

I seriously doubt that Tiananmen had anything to do with that. Do you know anyone who would want their big day, an occasion all about love and joy, to be about something like that?

Only traitor GOP would ever think someone could choose such a date to get married.

[rurallib]

83. Damn Google - Anyway no matter which of the 365(+1) days of the year

someone picks something good and something bad probably happened. Also someone good and someone really bad was probably born.

That was a hell of a reach for the mini-mind of Johnson.

Thanks for the correction BTW - I thought that date sounded off.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

46. Hey Ron you might want to leave out the bit about the wedding date - sounds a little

borderline psychotic. So what else ya got besides he visited China once or twice?

[Wednesdays]

48. Well, my anniversary is April 30

I guess we should have reconsidered it, considering that was the anniversary of the Fall of Saigon.

[magicarpet]

49. So let's take this adsurd thinking one step further.

Me being a devout ReThug Conservative,...

... my wife was about to give birth to our first child on the anniversary of the day Ronald Reagan died.

Should I immediately run into the kitchen grabbing the sharpest knife I could find, then run back to the master bedroom and stab her repeatedly in the stomach. Then call 911 to summons an ambulance to take her to the hospital for an immediate abortion.

We can not dishonor Ronald Reagan to that extent. Besides if my wife lives through all this, we can always make another attempt for a healthy but more timely birth of our next chance of having child.

WTF ? What kind of bonkers thinking is this shit ?

These Fascist Conservative politicians will conjure up and concoct a variety of absurd ways to demean, debase, destroy, fabricate lies, and make up malicious stories to dehumanize while turning their political opponents into three headed fire breathing monsters in an attempt to totally discount and invalidate them.

Again repeat,.. Democrats don't bring a feather duster to a gun fight with a Fascist ReThug. When they come with an AR-15 fully loaded, while taking only head shots at you.

[BadgerKid]

53. Not The Onion.

[Lovie777]

54. Weirdly bonkers..............

[generalbetrayus]

56. My mother gave birth to me on the 92nd anniversary

of the First Battle of Bull Run [Battle of First Manassas], the first major battle of the US Civil War, fought near Manassas, Virginia and ending in a Confederate victory because she sympathized with American traitors.

[relayerbob]

58. Every day is an anniversary of something

They aren’t even grasping at straws now, just flailing about, waving their arms and screaming as they go under.

[tonekat]

59. Don't waste my tax dollars on GOP BS "Investigations"!

61. Memo to Senator Johnson:

Inauguration Day 2025 is January 20, which is MLK Day. And on that day, the first Black female President will be sworn into office by the first Black female Supreme Court Justice using the Lincoln Bible and there's nothing you can do about it so please STFD, STFU, and GFY.

63. Ron's just weird.

[Warpy]

64. Like that fucking GOP fraud gives a shit about any of that stuff

It just shows somebody in his office searched "on this date in history" and that's the best they could do.

Plus, I'm sure a closer examination would reveal his distaste for the Chinese students and satisfaction when the demonstrations were crushed by the government. Law n order, and all that.

[twodogsbarking]

67. Is he wearing his weird hat?

[AleksS]

69. You know what's a fricking red flag Ron Jo?

Visiting Russia on the 4th of July.

[Zoomie1986]

70. LOL

Morons. Here's some other stuff that happened on 4 June:

1561 - Lightning causes a fire that destroys St Paul's Cathedral.

1760 - New England colonists drive the Acadians out of Nova Scotia in what became known as the Great Upheaval (later memorialized in Longfellow's poem, Evangeline).

1783 - The Montgolfier brothers debut the hot air balloon. Exactly one year later, Élisabeth Thible becomes the first woman to pilot one.

1792 - George Vancouver claims Puget Sound for England.

1855 - Henry Wayne sets sail on an expedition to acquire camels for the US Camel Corps. Probably my favorite entry for 'This Day in History.'

1862 - Traitor Confederates abandon Fort Pillow, and Union troops occupy it as a base for taking Memphis soon thereafter.

1876 - First completed voyage of a US transcontinental train voyage. Considered an 'express' route, it took over 83 hours to run between NYC and SF.

1901 - Massachusetts passes the first minimum wage law.

1917 - First Pulitzer Prizes awarded. A fun trivia question would be to name a winner.

1919 - Congress approves the Nineteenth Amendment (women's right to vote), and sends it to states for ratification.

1939 - In perhaps the most repugnant display of anti-Semitism in American history, the US Government denies landing permission to the ship MS Saint Louis, which was carrying over 900 Jews fleeing Europe. More than 200 of them will later die in concentration camps.

1940 - End of Dunkirk evacuation of more than 335,000 British soldiers from France.

1942 - Start of Battle of Midway.

1944 - US troops under the command of Mark Clark (seriously) captures Rome.

1977 - JVC introduces the VHS video tape.

--------
All those things to choose from, and Tiananmen Square is what they pick from the bunch? Really? The choice says far more about this traitor Putin asset than it ever could about Walz.

You can’t convince me that’s merely a coincidence.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

112. We should be ashamed for Sen Cotton

But my neighbors are not

[woodsprite]

85. Wasn't Johnson one of the Reps who celebrated the anniversary of our Independance in Russia

rather than here, at home, with the misguided constituents who keep electing him?

100. Can't you just see that weasel Googling that date to find something.

I do use foul language when it is called for and for this I will use a favorite from the Outlander novels.

[Attilatheblond]

107. While on the topic of anniversaries, and now that the name Roosevelt has been invoked...

[OAITW r.2.0]

103. Is there a secret contest underway within the Republican Party as to who can say the stupidest thing this campatgn seaso

If so, I have to say Trump has got to be the runaway leader....Ron will have to step up his stupid game if he want's any chance to win the contest.

109. Or MAYBE it was the only day the VFW hall had open for a wedding reception.

[Vinca]

111. Ok, now that's just weird.

[CCExile]

114. Hmm...

I got married on the same day that, in 1975, Papua New Guinea gained independence from Australia. I wonder what I'm guilty of.

117. Ron Johnson

is sharing the same brain worm as RFK Jr.

[Jilly_in_VA]

118. I got married on Dec. 28

It's probably the anniversary of something I'm too lazy to look up, but I picked it because it's my parents' wedding anniversary and therefore easy to remember!

[Zoomie1986]

136. You married on the same day

That Spain recognized the independence of Mexico, and William Röntgen published his paper about his discover of X-ray radiation.

It's also the day that suffragette Constance Markievicz became the first woman to win election to the British Parliament. She ran her campaign from prison on drummed up charges related to the German plot in Ireland. I promise it will be worth your while to go down that Irish history rabbit hole.

How am I doing? Can I sell it to Hannity?

[RussellCattle]

134. Nice and probably right up Hannity's alley.

Ron Johnson is beyond dumb. Stupid is a step up from where he is. If it weren’t for his autonomic system, I swear he would suffocate because he’d forget to breathe.

[cpamomfromtexas]

127. Oh FFS

128. Ron Johnson comment

What is wrong with these ignorant people. Seriously, got married on the anniversary of Tiananmen square. I cannot deal with any of these fools anymore. How can they get up in the morning and look at themselves in the mirror.

[Emile]

129. Hyperbolic exaggerations is all they got, so sad.

[Gore1FL]

130. When did Johnson marry.

I am sure atrocities happened that day.

[WmChris]

132. Hypocrisy on steroids

Getting married on a day that the couple probably worked out for family and friends with no even vague thoughts about an occurrence in another country. How does that even begin to compare with spending a 4th of July holiday in Russia kissing Putin's ass?

[iemanja]

133. Because what CP fan doesn't celebrate Tiananmen Square?

These people are complete morons.

[republianmushroom]

135. Is that all he has to bitch about. Jeez

Johnson isn't playing with a full deck.

[Mysterian]

137. LMAO

Sergeant Major Walz.....a regular Che Guevara. LOL!
