It was 3 strikes and you&#8217;re out and we must have had 15 strikes all night.  One fellow made me &#8220;pinky promise&#8221; to be good (can you believe that) and I made the pinky promise but never kept it. Joe probed and interrupted as these whiners went on, and his probes were appropriate and illuninating.  The poor whiners were extremely frustrated because Joe would not allow the lies.  Thank you Joe. I think Joe did leave the room finally but he came back in. There wasn&#8217;t anyone big enough to remove Joe if Joe didn&#8217;t want to go and that really has nothing to do with his size.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/img_0970.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8648 aligncenter\" title=\"img_0970\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/img_0970-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/img_0970-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/img_0970.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When they were done with their sad stories, then there was question and answer.  Joe basically told them they were a sorry lot and they never should have joined the military and it was despicable what they were doing to the Gold Star Families.  Things got heated and they took the mic from him.  Yours truly was up next and I finally got to shove their liberals leaders down their throats, in front of 48 bleeding heart liberals in the audience there soaking up their pity party.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/img_0976.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8647 aligncenter\" title=\"img_0976\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/img_0976-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/img_0976-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/img_0976.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>They told me they would call the Police and I told them go right ahead, I&#8217;m not leaving they&#8217;ll have to take me away.
