Does trump think JD is a sucker? He'll be a loser soon enough, but I'm just curious. Seems like somebody might want to tell what's-his-name, that disparaging someone else's military record while campaigning with a draft-dodger, is probably not a great strategy.
djt is incapable of accepting feedback on anything, even campaign strategy in 2024, when the stakes are indescribably high for him. (When he loses, those federal cases will proceed, and imprisonment is likely.)
Someone close to me grew up in a very dysfunctional family; as a result, this person is very self-destructive, tho in an atypical way. Even when their own survival is on the line, they are paralyzed by anxiety because of the screwed-up messages they received in childhood (= that it was unacceptable to succeed, or to act in ways that would help them stay well and safe). It's painful to see. The damage that dysf families do lasts a lifetime, even for people who have undergone lots of therapy -- and djt has undergone none.
Very true. Trump used his money and privilege to avoid the war, although I still don't use the word 'draft dodger' for almost anyone who didn't want to serve in Vietnam, whether they went to Canada or were conscientious objectors. It was a terrible war we never should have been involved in, like most of our wars since WWII. But Vance criticizing other people for retiring from decades of military service before a new war was even announced is beyond hypocritical. I was glad the NYT pointed out that Vance did not see combat when covering his attacks on Walz, even if it was almost the last line in their piece.
Nothing whatsoever. Fuck Vance and the rest of the bullshit spewing jackals who have no issue with their ongoing support for their phony, draft dodging felon. The GOP has nothing on Walz and the media continues to ignore the facts and sensationalize the daily lies. If only there were more like Lawrence O'Donnell doing their jobs correctly.
Love, Lawrence O'Donnell doing his job correctly- as has Tim Walz and Kamala Harris! Just opposite of daddy's boy, who didn't earn his own keep, or his kids who haven't figured out what a job is.
It's true. My dad served in the Navy in WWII. He was stationed in the Philippines at Subic Bay. He did not see active combat and when he was offered a chance to go on an honor flight with his younger brother (who served in Korea) he said he didn't deserve to go because he didn't see combat. The trip planners told him that was nonsense. They convinced him to go and it turned out to be one of the most meaningful things in his life. He finally felt like his service meant something, and he was proud.
He was only 18 years old when he was called. He had to leave the family farm, go to basic training, learn how to swim, travel halfway around the world and served his country as an MP. He was honorably discharged after the war. When you serve, it is a selfless act. Every person contributes to the cause and each soldier is important. Each one should be cherished and honored. We celebrate those who come home and remember all of those who do not. Not one person who served was a sucker or a loser. My dad died in 2020. He never had COVID but died because of it anyway. The hospitals were overwhelmed and a procedure he needed could not happen as planned. He died at home. I was with him and will be forever grateful for that.
Trump just doesn't get it. These people who serve are special. They don't question the cause. They are called and they go. For Vance to criticize anyone who has served, is really a terrible thing. It's offensive to anyone who loves a former or current service member. Trump has disrespected so many people but his disdain for our Armed Forces is unforgiveable. My dad was not a sucker or a loser. He was a selfless and caring individual who put others above himself his entire life. What has trump ever done for anyone?
I'm a retired Army Special Forces Chief Warrant Officer 3 and I have no problem with Tim Walz's retirement. He's a great man and was a great soldier.
Amen. 24 years of service is NOTHING to disparage

That’s just like when Trump said that convicted felons shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Whoops.

Also, while all service is valuable and to be respected , it’s the NCO’s like Tim Waltz that make the Army work.
What's the difference between a Command Sergeant Major and God?
A Command Sergeant Major really can save your ass.

Watching Band of Brothers on Netflix. Wow, is that ever true!

Excellent post! I’m sorry for the loss of your beloved father.
Thank you. He lived a long and good life. He was 95. I still talk to him.
And we're not mercenaries either, low pay,serving your country is it's own reward.
Thank you for your service, sir.
Thank you for your service 👏🏼
Thank you for your service, Michael!
