If he would just shut up, get off TWITter, and act like an adult, the economy alone would likely carry his re-election for him.
Good summation.

Cannot imagine Ron Paul's reaction to his son in Moscow.

The best part of tRump's juvenile little snit over his defunct parade?

He's blaming it on the mayor of DC.

He's such a weakling.

You are the one spinning it.

Avoiding is not dodging. And it was not 5 times, it was one time. The others were college deferments.

During the Vietnam War, people used a variety of approaches to dodging the draft. Fake physical impairments, such as phony bone spurs, was one.

If you prefer the term "avoiding" over "dodging the draft," that's fine. All the same he used his phony bone spur impairment to avoid military service.

Instead of lying, Muhammad Ali cited religious objections to serving, and stated, “I ain't got no quarrel with those Vietcong."

As I recall, his case went all the way to the SCOTUS.

Did he serve in the military or not? You think for one minute a guy who says McCain is no hero would ever put his life on the line for this country?



Here is why Trump is a draft dodger despite your dicing and slicing the semantics:

Note: the Trump cult will do anything and say anything in deference to their dear leader. You people need help.

WE have large parades on Memorial Day in small towns across the country. He does not know this.

We show our pride in our ability to speak freely. Trump does not believe in free speech.


Not even worth a reply other than to quote it for it's obvious hypocrisy.

It will take a lot more than that. Many of the leftest papers like the NYT seem downright tame to some of the kooky communist rags many progressives/leftists read, such as Daily KOS, Mother Jones, etc.
These people probably also read Pravda, but wouldn't admit it now since they are suppose to be anti-Putin/communism since it might harm Trump.
