    I don’t want people with no thought or foresight into something they permanently put on their body to lead me and I don’t want an “ex” drug addict to run our nations healthcare. Why is this so much to ask in 2026? The bar is below the Mariana Trench.

      I don’t even think getting the tattoo is disqualifying, but the way he handled it was sus. Even if it was a stupid, drunk decision, it’s likely he figured it out at some point afterwards, and only got it covered up when it started hurting the campaign.

      The part about being a Blackwater merc though, that’s pretty hard to look past. “Killer for hire turned politician.” One way or another, it’s a sad state of affairs that this is where we’re at.
