    Default VETERAN TELLS DONALD TRUMP JR. TO JOIN MILITARY IF HE WANTS TO UNDERSTAND 'SACRIFICE'

    On Veterans Day, Iraq War Veteran Paul Rieckhoff criticized first son Donald Trump Jr. for comparing business deals his family gave up so his father could be president with the sacrifices veterans made.

    "Don Jr. is of age, if he really wants to understand what sacrifice is all about, he can join the military," Rieckhoff told CNN New Day host John Berman.

    In a segment of his new book, Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us, Trump Jr. described a visit to Arlington National Cemetery. While his father, then-President-Elect Donald Trump, stood in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Army played "Taps," which is performed at military funerals, Trump Jr. said he thought about his family's sacrifices.

    Bama should have, too.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    the military continues to overwhelmingly support republicans, and always will, because democrats are seen as anti-troops (and they are)

    Yeah...…...Barry Soetoro aka Muhammad Obama....Blow Job Bill....anyone? How about Deferred China Joe with a medical deferment? We suppose he grew out of his supposed Asthma? Sounds like the only thing he had allergies to was COMBAT. Then we have his Son...discharged as an officer and gentleman for being a dope head addict. Its not like the POTUS surrounds himself with the best military minds on the planet.

    Propaganda...anyone? No? Popcorn?

    The question is......what does the fascist left have against Peace and Prosperity? Why all the war mongering attempting to prompt a war...so the streets can be filled with anti-war protestors in 2020?

    Get Real @ Donald Trump.com We Got ya....SWAMP.

    Trump has not served? Really? What do you call being the Commander in Chief? No cognition to reason and or logic?

    Trump's kids are as stupid and crooked as he is. They prove it over and over again.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    Yeah....that ad hominem SNOWFLAKE attack will get'r done. FYI: apparently TRUMP's lawyers are better than the swamp's lawyers. I thought they were arranging a COUP.....what happened to the CREEPY PORN LAWYER. LIAR BASSIE FORD's lawyer? Whistleblower lawyer? Failures. What happened to the lawyers attempting to forbid TRUMP from being on the ballots in BLUE STATES?

    Can you spell.....US CONSTITUTION? Almost 200 Trump Lawyers appointed to federal judge seats. Reality: The rule of law is an amazing thing.

    Yeah with can with the duplicity of MAGA. Make American Great Again by promoting My Attorney's Get Attorneys. That works except for one thing....in 2020 Its KAG....Keep America Great. Go figure.

    PROGRESSIVE MY ASS. Last elections news.

    Yeah sure, and all those kids who live in towns all over the US are all REP and they're the only ones that enlist! Sure, you believe that don't you folks? I talked to a 4 STAR GEN and he assured my group that that was bullshit (he was more PC than that but his grin said it all). He said the US military was a mirror of the population and regional demograhics the ENLISTEES came from and he said they came from everywhere. How common sense of him. But then what would he know.

    What sacrifice did Obama's two kids make?

    In what branch of service did Obama serve? Bill Clinton?

    Sure you did. You claim to have done lots of things for which no proof is ever been provided. Do you have audio and/or video of the conversation you claim to have had?

    "In a segment of his new book, Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us, Trump Jr. described a visit to Arlington National Cemetery. While his father, then-President-Elect Donald Trump, stood in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Army played "Taps," which is performed at military funerals, Trump Jr. said he thought about his family's sacrifices.

    "In that moment, I also thought of all the attacks we'd already suffered as a family, and about all the sacrifices we'd have to make to help my father succeed—voluntarily giving up a huge chunk of our business and all international deals to avoid the appearance that we were 'profiting off the office,'" Trump Jr. wrote, according to Axios.

    Rieckhoff, who founded the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) organization, told Berman this was an example of how the president and his family are "tone-deaf about what it means to serve." While he acknowledged there are many different ways to serve your country, he called comparing losing business deals to the veterans buried at Arlington "ridiculous."

    "Unfortunately, that's the kind of tone that's permeated the last three years of this administration," Rieckhoff said.

    Rieckhoff wasn't alone in finding Trump Jr. comparing his own experience to those who served in the military to be inappropriate. Veteran Army Major Richard Ojeda posted on Twitter that the first son should be "banned from that hallowed ground."

    "His bloodline has nothing to do with the selfless courage that fills those gardens of stone," Ojeda wrote.

    Khizr Khan, whose son Humayun was killed in Iraq, told MSNBC on Sunday that Trump Jr.'s book segment was "disgusting" and "shameful." However, he added that he didn't expect "any better" from Trump or his family."

    Talk about out of it. Just ask Trump Jr.

    "I LOATHE THE MILITARY". - BILL CLINTON...



    ~ " ….And that is where I am now, writing to you because you have been good to me and have a right to know what I think and feel. I am writing too in the hope that my telling this one story will help you understand more clearly how so many fine people have come to find themselves still loving their country but loathing the military, to which you and other good men have devoted years, lifetimes, of the best service you could give. To many of us, it is no longer clear what is service and what is disservice, or, if it is clear, the conclusion is likely to be illegal....." ~

    Of course, only Trump has the right to make inaccurate claims in front of millions of people.
