Oh my god, Trump actually got the NRA to come out to defend trans people owning a gun.
I have done a million different jobs. I'm ravenously curious. I am a safe space and will not tolerate hate or ignorance. I believe that only knowledge will guide us through dark times.

Even if you want to retire, you cant always. You have to wait until the end of your commitment and then it has to get approved. Sometime at a congressional level (generals).
