The daughters hate Trump so much that they would publicly crow about their father being an unethical medical professional. Wow. All Dems should be lucky to have kids like that.

....and there is no evidence that there was anything that wasn't above board in Biden's April 1968 exam, with his history known, that resulted in his deferment where asthma was mentioned.
You see why Trump made losers comment about WWI dead. Losers die, draft dodging winners amass fortune and become presidents. Be smart like Trump. The fact that citizenry does not care whether or not fleecing elite members put their lives on the line in the line of service is beginning of the end. This attitude inevitably leads to degeneration of the elites and nothing screams degeneration like Trump.
It is a serious matter when weaseling, avoiding risks and lying buys you an elite membership ticket. A country like that is doomed.
Whatever one thinks about elites of the past, they put their lives on the line to get to the top. It is a distinct marker of decline when established elites switch from risking it mode to avoiding the risks mode.
" while Trump gets a free pass to cheat and skip out on serving the country.
Just 1 question, why isn't there the SAME criticism of biden?
They have IDENTICAL paths. biden got college deferments. So did Trump. Biden a medical deferment for the asthma he supposedly had as a young kid. Trump got a medical deferment for a bone spurs.
What is the difference? We know biden is dem and Trump is a repub. The SAME can be said of biden,
Its interesting how Jane Fonda was against the Vietnam War and called a traitor while BIDEN gets a free pass to cheat and skip out on serving the country.
Dems. hypocrites to the core!
The major beneficiaries of our wars are the rich.
In any of our wars, it should be compulsory for the rich to be the first ones to line up so they have skin in the game. I dont care if Trump was missing a leg or 2, he can be propped up in a chair on the front lines with a rifle.
Fighting in the Vietnam war was not serving this country. At all. It's why they had to enact the Draft, because the majority of Americans wouldn't have volunteered for it because they knew it was a BS war. And it's also why Nixon was voted, so he would get our troops out since the democrats back then were all gun ho to send our men into harms way, and for what??????
Should I flood open the threads on this forum about Hanoi Jane and the right trashing her and add Trump to it?
Don't even bring up John McCain. I did the research on him when we were in AZ and voting, and there is nothing to brag about there. Simply google "Was John McCain a hero?" I could not stand him.
I am not sure what the purpose of the thread is. If someone says that President Trump didn't have bone spurs decades ago, and cheated the system like other sons of wealthy people, does that mean I should not vote for him?
Here is another one that had a "disappearing diagnosis":
"Just a few months before President Donald Trump received his now-infamous diagnosis of “bone spurs in the heels,” former high school football star Biden got the same 1-Y draft deferment for “asthma as a teenager.” It was one of five deferments Biden received (the same number as notorious GOP “draft dodger” Dick Cheney) and allowed him to avoid being drafted at the height of the war. The year 1968 was one of the bloodiest of the Vietnam conflict with 296,406 Americans drafted into military service — the second-highest during the war."
So, what was the purpose of this thread?
the college kids were exempt the wealthy families didn't have their sons go into the war.
You should become a fiction writer the way you spin things to fit you B.S.
Everything said in his post was fact. Gore, Kerry (both John and Bob) were actual war vets who were demonized by the right.
The B.S. here is that you are doing the same thing to Tammy Duckworth right now. Right wingers don't give a damn about people's "service" unless their politics are suitable.
