    Let's face it, if Trump said the old rhyme "Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning" someone would say he was calling to legalize red-light districts near navy bases. The concept of #OrangeManBad is still alive and well for many.

    "Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers."

    He also said they were "suckers" for getting killed.

    Trump may not hate the troops, but he has no respect for them, and I think that's even worse than hating them...

    trump derangement syndrome is a real thing and i think it needs more attention. my ex had it and she would talk about trump all day long. she said she HATED me just because i voted for trump. she said trump is a rapist and all other kinds of shit. she used to have CNN on full volume when she got home from work and watched it religiously.

    she knows nothing about politics but she was so involved with hating trump, it affected her mind during the waking hours.

    we couldnt have a conversation in the car when we were driving without her bringing up trump and how horrible he is and how he is going to prison.
    glad i got out of that.

    A lot of folks hate Trump the person. The question is do they like Trump the President. The Trump haters have no clue what a President does. They only like someone that talks sweet and agrees with them. They may never do what they ask but as long as they agree with them they love them. Trump pulls no punches like so many politicians do today. He's the real deal and people hate him for it.

    I have referred to Trump as our first Third Party President. Sure, he's listed as a republican but there are plenty of GOP members that can't stand him and if he was able to make a deal to move things forward with the DNC he would, regardless of platform.

    His background isn't in politics, he's a New York land developer. When you remember that, much of his persona and actions start to make a lot more sense. The fact that he didn't change those once he took office is what makes so many people love him for his "bare knuckle" attitude an so many revile him for his "bully" tactics.

    He reminds me a LOT of Theodore Roosevelt.

    for one, there is no proof he said that. and if he DID say that, maybe he was in a pissy mood. i say nasty things when i am under incredible stress. thinks about what this guy has been going through his entire presidency. most people cant even handle a portion of what he has handled. i think his venting is what keeps him going.

    regardless, i dont want a president who visits cemetaries and does other dumb shit. i want him to get this country back on track.

    obama fucking ate hamburgers on tv, hugged people, tapdanced, sang and did all kinds of bullshit for the press. he drove this country into a world of shit.

    He seems dead set on destroying everything the Democrats built over the last 8 years. And he's constantly pushing Republican agendas. This guy is even less 3rd party than Bernie Sanders is.

    He's not reviled for his "bully" tactics. he's reviled for his inability to tell the truth on pretty much anything, and how he only does things if they will benefit him or his family personally.

    For the Lefties, "inability to tell the truth" means "doesn't follow the false Leftie Narrative."

    No, he's literally incapable of telling the truth about simple things that are easily verifiable, that have no bearing on politics. For example, he said his father was born in a "very wonderful place in Germany" (His father was born in New York. There's paperwork.)

    He claimed he secured "the first pay raise in over a decade" for our troops and that it was "one of the biggest ever". Troops pay had increased every year prior to that, execpt for in 1983. and pay raises in 2009, 2010, and 2012 were bigger than the one Trump was trying to take credit for...

    Trump has told dozens, if not hundreds of easily fact-checked lies about stupid little things that have no purpose other than to try and make himself look good.

    He's a fucking disgrace.

    The DNC has never had good relations with the military. They have always been the party of "make love, not war" and consistently call for massive reductions in the armed forces.

    That has nothing to do with sports antics and it's been a fact for a very
    long time. That is a different mixed bag of conversation entirely.

    He's a populist... Theodore Roosevelt wasn't so much. Trump is also
    much more against the establishment than we've seen in a very long time
    in the White House, which is probably why he won in the first place.
    Clinton was the ultimate insider and Trump, the ultimate outsider.

    I think that Trump has softened a bit, and fallen into a few pitholes
    when it comes to the executive branch though. I don't like some of the
    policy changes regarding the EPA, and really don't like the director of

    I am saying that the only people I know that don't support the troops are
    all members of the American Left. Not saying they all don't. Also saying that what was allegedly said was delivered by media associated with the American Left. I have seen nor heard any soundbites that prove it was said. I have seen several who were involved in the decision not to go that have said it
    was an outright untruth... that the decision was based soley on the weather
    and the advice of his handlers.

    "Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers."

    He also said they were "suckers" for getting killed.

    Trump may not hate the troops, but he has no respect for them, and I >> think that's even worse than hating them...

    So, what you are saying is that he was trying to appeal to the
    American Left?



    I think I understand the context of what he said, but I still don't appreciate it. I don't think he hates the troops, however I don't think has a strong respect for the past.


    for one, there is no proof he said that. and if he DID say that, maybe he w a portion of what he has handled. i think his venting is what keeps him goi

    regardless, i dont want a president who visits cemetaries and does other dum

    obama fucking ate hamburgers on tv, hugged people, tapdanced, sang and did a

    i want a president who gets things done and so far that is trump.

    No one is stepping up to say he actually said anything about the troops. On several occasions he called John McCain a loser, however McCain was not known to be a pleasant character. In the Navy his nickname was McNasty. There is a lso a social stigma where it is politically incorrect to say anything bad
    about anyone in the military at the individual level. Some generals were assholes and everyone under thier command will say that. I worked with a
    bunch of knuckleheads who were vets, and I knew several vets that were great
    to work with. I think people foget the armed forces consist of a cross
    section of our society.

    The problem is that this country has swung so far right that moderates are now considered "far left" Even GWB could be considered "liberal" now.

    Going to have to disagree with you on this one. What has come out are people on the further polarized sides - those that are more conservative and more liberal - as well as (and I list these as an additional group, not further defining) people adopting far more radical views.

    Add to that a personalization of politics, a 24/7 news cycle and social media and you get a much more divisive view of the American political landscape.

    What has happened today is those more radical elements have taken a much stronger leadership role in the DNC. On issues like abortion recent legislation has codified the ability to have an abortion as late as 32 to 36 weeks.

    As recently as last week you have California changing their criminal statutes regarding same-sex sexual acts between a minor and someone not more than 10 years older - so, say a 24 and 14 year old.

    In the midst of all of this there is still a "middle" and truthfully it isn't shrinking as much as you might think. The megaphones just make it difficult to talk over.

    like how they are scared of what biden might say, back in the day
    they were worried someone would piss off mccain and set him off. i was reading about it years ago in my barbershop. i cant remember what the person said but they really got his goat and he turned red with anger but it was at the end of the ralley and they pulled him out.

    Really... 100 nights of riots, demanding to dismantle police forces, and pushes for Marxism, and your take away is the center has pushed so far
    to the right?

    GWB was a centrist, despite speaches for "the base," he was largely a centrist, establishment crony. Much like Obama after him.

    Trump is a totally narcassistic, childish asshole in so many ways. But
    he's not really a conservative, he's a populist through and through.
    He'd be my preference over Biden or Hillary mostly because I agree with
    about 2/3 of hist policy actions vs. me agreeing with less than 1/3 of
    current Democrat policy trends.

    I'm a pragmatic Libertarion, if I had my choices, it wouldn't be either.
    I didn't vote for Trump, I didn't vote for Obama either. In the end
    it really depends on specifics of policy action.

    I do find it funny that Trump was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for succeeding on implementing many of Obama's campaign promises. 2
    historic treaties in the middle east, a troop reduction plan as well as
    the first president since Carter not to create new military conflict zones.

    The US has a roughtly 8% population of "Far Left" largely embraced by
    the Democrat party.

    The US has a roughly 4-5% population of what is labelled as "Far Right"
    or actual fascist leaning, largely rejected by the Republican party.

    That's the real difference. Roughly twice as many far left (Marxist
    leaning) that are embraced by one party, as the other extreme which
    really aren't embraced by the opposing party.

    Absolutely agreed though I wasn't sure on the percentages I knew it was
    slim. Embraced is a good word for it as well. Platform planks that carry
    names difficult to challenge like "Single Payer Healthcare", "Women's Reproductive Health", "Cashless Bail", "The New Green Deal" and others.

    The ability to have a reasoned conversation where you disagree on anything
    is completely gone right now as well. I've had what I call the "Theory
    of Five" concept when it comes to political conversations... within 5
    complete round-trip exchanges, 5 comments or 5 shares/reposts any thread
    about politics will begin to pick up personal attacks on either the
    orginal poster or one of the other participants.

    Sadly that theory is proven right many more times than wrong.

    McCain could've sat out the entire war and stayed in his role as a flight instructor. In Steven Coonts book The Cannibal Queen he made reference to
    the Navy Blue Angels being important for recruitment, so they weren't rotated into combat units umless they volunterred. Why would a pilot in an elite aero batic team wish to leave the poshy life to do a tour on an oily ship?
    Medals. The pilots coming back had loads of shiny service awards and tour badges, and that made them feel like a lesser man. Coonts said you can tell
    if a pilot was a Blue Angel by the way they carriend themself, plus their
    boots were polished and their flight suits weren't saturated and stained by hydraulic fluid. He recalled a story about one pilot who tried to make
    several passes over an anti-aircraft gun versus flying in low and fast, pickling off all his bombs at once. By the third flyby the NVA figured his approach angle out and weren't taking prisoners that day. The NVA were not entertained by his impromptu airshow.
