I read the article.

Its all leftist lies.

President Trump would never do anything like that.


I honestly can't tell if this is genuine or sarcastic.


This guy.


Pretty sure you could post that after every one of his posts and it would fit

A lot of Aggies have family in the military or have lost family serving in the military, I'm one. F this president. Him and his 5 deferments for "bone spurs". Such a joke.


Why is this any kind of surprise? Trump is a pretty open narcissist and spent his personal life using society's conventions to do what he wanted to do.

There are people in DC who are truly public servants but none of them have been nominated for President in a few decades.

Okay. Glad I have never been a premium poster then. I'm cheap.

And my star is deceptive. I have none of those privileges it was just a way for Brandon to converse with me after the folderal that unfolded with a certain unnamed poster. (We have since made friends of a sort. He doesn't stalk and hate me anymore, at least.)


Brandon used to stalk and hate you?!... I could see that.

For anyone claiming this can't be true, this was just corroborated by the Associated Press (and also video evidence of Trump's claims about McCain).

This board claims Trump loves this country, yet he denigrates the very men and women who gave this country the ultimate sacrifice. Trump knows nothing of honor.
Stil waiting for a named source...

Yeah, it's not like he had a real problem like a distant history of asthma and a stuttering problem that no one knew about until he developed dementia.

Trumpism is a cult.


Quote:

When McCain died, in August 2018, Trump told his senior staff, according to three sources with direct knowledge of this event, "We're not going to support that loser's funeral," and he became furious, according to witnesses, when he saw flags lowered to half-staff. "What the F are we doing that for? Guy was a f-ing loser," the president told aides.

How many of you supported McCain during his presidential run? He spits on veterans and doesn't give a damn about serving YOUR country.


Quote:

The two men were set to visit Section 60, the 14-acre area of the cemetery that is the burial ground for those killed in America's most recent wars. Kelly's son Robert is buried in Section 60. A first lieutenant in the Marine Corps, Robert Kelly was killed in 2010 in Afghanistan. He was 29. Trump was meant, on this visit, to join John Kelly in paying respects at his son's grave, and to comfort the families of other fallen service members. But according to sources with knowledge of this visit, Trump, while standing by Robert Kelly's grave, turned directly to his father and said, "I don't get it. What was in it for them?" Kelly (who declined to comment for this story) initially believed, people close to him said, that Trump was making a ham-handed reference to the selflessness of America's all-volunteer force. But later he came to realize that Trump simply does not understand non-transactional life choices.

Sorry, don't have a clue what Trumpism is. I support him with enthusiasm because he did what he said he'd do. He's not perfect, far from it, but I support him. There are millions of others like me who support him in spite of his flaws. Until someone else steps up who is willing to take on the deeply entrenched interests in Washington DC, we will stand behind him. There is nothing cult like whatsoever in that.

I voted for McCain but he was a lukewarm conservative who sold out regularly. He didn't like President Trump and was vocal about it. If you take on somebody in the political arena, you need to be prepared for the response. I appreciate McCain's sacrifice as a POW, but that doesn't mean he's immune to criticism because of it. He was a Casper milquetoast presidential candidate who got his ass handed to him because he wasn't prepared to take the gloves off vs. Barack Obama, and as a result, our nation was set back and damaged deeply.

We are in the mess we are in right now because of the division Obama created in our nation. He purposely placed a wedge in the divide he started and then slammed it with a sledge hammer. I place the blame for all this squarely on the shoulders of John McCain; the hero who abdicated his responsibility to do what it takes to win. Again, I appreciate his sacrifice, but he was a wimp when his country needed him most.

Hell, he even compounded his major f*** up when he failed to vote against Obamacare when he had the chance out of a personal vendetta against President Trump. Personal politics over country personified. If that's not a measure of his true colors, not sure what is.

I have no clue whatsoever about the veracity of his 'quote from Section 60'. Even if he said that verbatim, if you don't know the context, or his mindset, or what he's trying to get at, it's really a baseless hit piece looking for a sucker to buy into some misguided and agenda driven narrative. Looks like the writers found one in you.

I am a US Marine Recon Man. I would pick up a rifle and follow President Trump's command in an instant if I were needed. I have ZERO doubt in his appreciation of our military or in his valuation of the ultimate sacrifice paid by tens of thousands of brothers in arms, several who died right in front of me. His attitude about and appreciation of our military is so far above the sick attitude displayed by our previous President and his wife that they aren't even in the same universe.

He would call the entire marine corps a bunch of 'losers' and no one would change their vote

Because they are voting against the 'libs' not for trump.


Im am definitely voting against the liberal Democrats policies at least as much as im voting for trump.

You got me there.

I vote for the one who most/best represents my position. The words they use are FAR less important than the actions they take. I don't like everything he's said, but the actions he's taken meet with my approval in a big way.

You seem like a person who gets caught up in the words people use. Democrats are very good at saying what people like hearing while they stick a knife in your ribs.

Deeds, not words.

Do you actually think Biden and any of his staunch supporters are actually Marxist? At most, he's a centralist.

Nothing that the Atlantic writes could persuade me. If they had him on tape burning George Washington in effigy and executing kittens for sport I would only ensure that I registered to vote for him sooner than I otherwise would have.


You don't see anything wrong with blindly following 'the leader' - and what repercussions that kind of Blind 'loyalty' might have.

I don't feel like catching a ban tonight but let's be real... this kind of loco behavior does nothing to serve our republic and only to serve the interests of the person who you serve. This is the kind of behavior that brought down the Roman Republic/Empire and led to chaos throughout the world.

Say what you will about the globalists and 'the Soros' - but without a steady hand at the wheel - country's slip into chaos and war.

Trump thinks Putin is on his side against China and using China as the enemy will help him. If China is an enemy - why disband the TPP. The new NATO - that was going to be hard to surround China - but the first thing he did was dismantle it and Sell the Philippines down the river.

It's ether that or trump just knows his audience and doesn't care about actually solving problems but making sure the other guy is so "evil" you have to choose him.

Devil you know v the one you don't kinda thing.

50 years from now this Time period will be known As the "great mistake" and we will all pray it does not bring this country on the path to "the end".

"Anonymous sources" confirming "anonymous sources," the same bull**** we've been hearing from the media for 4 years now.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
