I am watching Brooke Baldwin on CNN right now. She made a point of stating Trump's comments were unverified, but then went right to a guest who was obviously anti-Trump and let him rant for a few minutes about how despicable Trump is for making the comments. And now she is showing a segment with Biden doing the same.

Journalistic standards lowered once again.

McCain was a loser.
He shut down investigations into POW's that were left behind after the Vietnam war.
Why would McCain do that?

Many other surviving Vietnam POW's hated McCain for what he did.

Republicans are dead dinosaurs, and you'd be listening to cackling murder lady on TV every day if it weren't for Trump.


The sooner you old GOPers figure that out, the better. Without Trump there IS no Republican party. Join the Democrats if you must. You haven't been America First for years now, so it's probably a better fit anyway.

Look at the stunts G.W. Bush pulled - landing on an aircraft carrier, surprise Thanksgiving visit to troops in Iraq. And tough-guy Trump was deterred by some rain and clouds.



When this story fails to gain traction in the polls Democrats will go back to their usual disregard for the military, and will go back to propping up candidates who believe American military personnel are imperialist baby murderers.

McCain wasn't ever going to be running for President again when he said that.

Trump made the comment about McCain while Trump was running for President. It wasn't a Presidential thing to say. McCain wasn't the leader of another country, so the comment was essentially 'punching down'. It was uncalled for. Trump should have let McCain's comment roll off of his back, but Trump couldn't harness the discipline/self control/statesmanship to do that.

MAGAs pretend to support the military, but it's quite obvious they only support those in the military who support Trump. The rest of them are not honorable and deserve no recognition of their service and their sacrifice by their CIC.

What self-respecting member of the military would support or respect such a commander?


Your reply is funnier than my somewhat similar reply.

Bolton said he never heard Trump say anything like that and he was there.


https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...#disqus_thread


Former National Security Advisor John Bolton has disputed a story in The Atlantic claiming that President Donald Trump called fallen World War I soldiers “losers.” Bolton told the New York Times Friday that “I was there” and “I didn’t hear that"
