I know Navy Seals, I have worked with Navy Divers. People close to me became Explosive Ordnance Disposal technicians.
These guys do not tend to make mistakes, but so ordered, (By the President) they do their best. Even unto death. Trump’s bad calls cost lives.
Take responsibility, Donald. But you can’t.
Do not smear POWs, while you are at it.
Early on Trump said his generals are “the greatest in history.”
That was okay, Until they disagree with his pull out of Syria “with no notice or advice from those same generals”, and then he claims that he fired them (when really they resigned.)
EDIT: NOW WE SEE THAT SYRIA WITHDRAWAL CAUSED ISIS TO THRIVE.
Thanks for making ISIS great again, was that the plan, Sir?
He says he's better than the generals that he fires or that quit.
*How did that happen, exactly?*
Like what strategy or tactics training did Trump ever get?
He obviously has no concept of tactics, strategy, operational theater strategy, or geo-political Power Balance or negotiation or the basics… I mean the Very Basics of international statecraft.
He wants to break up NATO, which was for many decades the only thing keeping Russia at bay.
During the Cold War the world was preserved by the solidarity of saying Western Europe is safe… because America will stand with them in case Russia decides to take over the continent as a leader of the Warsaw Pact.
But these days the Commander-in-Chief, Trump has pissed off the leaders of many of our past allies.
With this shutdown that he claims is for border security he has defunded the Coast Guard… such that the commandant of the Coast Guard is asking people outside the Coast Guard to donate to family relief organizations to help Coast Guard Junior enlisted service members to get by… and TSA agents are airports working with no pay.
Almost a million federal workers’ families face being homeless.
And this guy says “thank you for working without pay for me…I appreciate it. PS, if you need to pay your rent, you should hold a garage sale because this could go on for years.”
And then when asked what are people going to do make it through the shutdown, he would say “Americans are strong and resilient they will figure a way out - they always do.”
Except he's the one who's not paying them!
This is the guy who was born into millions of dollars that was just Handed To Him… like a kid’s dollar for lunch money.
He has no concept of what the life is like for someone who works minimum wage and doesn't have a gold toilet in their bathroom.
This is not conspiracy theory bullshit.
This is his Twitter postings. Recorded for all history.
He knows that the poorly educated can often be swayed by a charismatic demagogue combined with mass media.
You can open up Hitler's Playbook and replace Jews with immigrants, and his blaming the system labeling his opponents as the system that is broken and needs fixed and that he is the man to fix it…
People who are Americans who were born in America…piss him off… he says “send them back to their shithole country.”
That country, Sir, is America!
Combined with the underclass of mostly rural White America seeing that their numbers are dwindling as they age out so that soon they will be a minority…
Combined with Russia hacking social media and targeting swing voters with hate campaigns directed specifically toward each person's individual weakness as profiled by their social media profile…
“Moscow” Mitch McConnell stopping laws to secure our 2020 election?
Our intelligence agencies, doing their job, report the election hacking will continue, and is ongoing.
Why would that be? Why does McConnell not want election security?

That’s a really excessively long way of saying “orange man bad.”
Lol.
Vladimir Putin is his best friend? Stopped reading there.
If you want to trash him there are plenty of valid reasons to do so but spewing that type of lunacy means you aren’t to be taken seriously.

Lol, at least not anymore, but the sentiment he has expressed isn't surprising, even coming from a Republican right now.

Lol, at least not anymore, but the sentiment he has expressed isn't surprising, even coming from a Republican right now.The writer takes about growing up on public assistance, objects to racism, considers climate change to be a major problem and has major issues with the way Trump is dealing with immigrants. There are a lot of left wing sentiments getting expressed.

Stories from the New York Times told how he would build a tower or casino, and soon declare bankruptcy, time after time.
Stopped reading there.

Well, it's true Trump is a narcissistic lying scumbag and an unhinged moron without morals. What's wrong about the overall picture drawn of Trump? Fact is fact, truth is truth, water is wet, sky is blue. If you don't like to truth, shame on you.

I like how he complains of the factories leaving and taking away jobs when he was a kid. Dude, the Democrats controlled all 3 branches of government then.

Yeah and who was the candidate that actually brought this up as an issue? Trump and Bernie - not democrats or establishment republicans.
The democrat answer was, "well you know what...you just need to check your white male privilege and stop being a racist." Here's more regulations that makes America less appealing to work in.

Perhaps because there may be legitimate things to criticize. :confusedshrug:

I had expected something new. From what I saw I realized it was going to be like a re hash of every talking point.
The WaPo actually published the Mueller report.
The world is crazy.

I dont like how his points are almost are about military and then the angle hes looking from is not the most important. And btw ISIS(jihadists) are not thriving since US left, the last time I checked, theyre getting their shit pushed in in syria hard.
