Did the democratic party go on vacation?

Democratic in name only.

A few elected Dems have Tweeted sternly and issued press releases, but very few and mostly mild. We're in a coup, and only the coup-plotters have representation.

It's Peter Marocco

I was just reading his resume. It sounds fake, but in a way that is difficult to immediately verify

  • US Marine, platoon sergeant at 3rd Force Recon in Mobile, Alabama

  • holds a post-graduate certificate in international security from Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Center

  • while earning a Master’s degree in international human rights law from the University of Oxford

None of that actually means he has a degree, his bio makes no mention of any undergraduate work

His bio reads like a few Marines I used to serve with, they would always go top shelf with their ultimately made up accolades that sound impressive to them but sound blatantly made up to everyone else that isn't a moron
