Blumenthal should have said āI will defer my comments until laterā
At least Senator Blumenthal actually served in the military, even if he exaggerated it.
Unlike the chickenshit, chickenhawk, orange dumb cluck.
āI have no idea about what is in his mind,ā Blumenthal said, asked about the personal nature of Trumpās attacks. āWhat I do know is I will not be distracted by this bullying. And these bullying tweets reinforce, for me, the need for a piece of legislation that I am helping to lede with Thom Tillis and others, a bipartisan coalition, to prevent firing of the special counsel, Robert Mueller, whom he has also sought to intimidate.ā
With every tantrum tweet, sTumpyās petard grows and grows. Sorta like Pinocchioās nose, but with the added bonus of getting to see his own shit blow sky-high.
So this feud has been going on for awhile
ā45ā needs to realize that neither Vince, Hunter or Shane are fans of burning money, but who knows/maybe heāll get lucky in getting Murphy out.*.
- -nah, not happening.
How ARE the presidentās patriotic bone spurs these days?
Maybe he should five of them.
As Stephen Colbert said, when Preshitident Trump says his Generals, he means his Genitals. Preshitent Trumpās Genitals were at great risk in his own personal Vietnam. Trumpās Genitals were valiantly fighting off sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea, syphillis, anal warts, HIV, various urine-borne disease etc.
I donāt think he was successful in the Battle of Syphilis Hill.
My recommended reply: āWell, thatās what weak Presidents do.ā
Trump said in the interview when Howard Stern asked how he handled making sure he wasnāt contracting STDs from the women he was sleeping with.
āItās amazing, I canāt even believe it. Iāve been so lucky in terms of
that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. Itās like Vietnam,
sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave
solider,ā
āItās not about me.ā
No Twitterstorm by President Trump is ever about anyone/anything other than Trump. Just like the rest of his presidency.
I like the idea of Blumenthal up there taking these hits and dishing back at Trump. We liberals have always allowed conservatives to push back on us with purity tests, accusing us of hypocrisy if our lives arenāt perfect. How dare we advocate any change in selfish behavior if weāre not pure ourselves? In 2000, I recall people accusing Gore of riding private jets as the reason to ignore his positions on climate change. Bill Clinton never bought into that bullshit, which is why he angered them so much.
We tend to get defensive and silent under such attacks for fear of looking bad. That type of argument, inane on its face, has often proven effective for the GOP. Trump used it to the extreme in 2016 - attacking Bill/Hillaryās marriage to excuse his demonstrably promiscuous and abusive behavior. Lying about her emails - to steer the media away from his treason.
Here - Blumenthal isnāt backing down. Heās not going to get into an explanation of his own military service. Heās just sticking to the point that Trump is dusting up a storm of distraction because he wants to fire Mueller and will attack anyone who stands in his way.
I am a veteran, you chicken hawk piece of trash. You have no room to talk. The only service you had was avoiding STDs

The closer Mueller gets, the uglier this is going to get. Iām trying to wring every bit of entertainment value I can out of Trumpās meltdown.
Trump is such a man child.
The closest Trump has gotten to anything Military is the private school his parents sent to, in hopes of helping himā¦OR just getting him out of their hair.
He mustāve been a horrid childā¦
Iām with you thereā¦
Especially as I expect the reign of Pence will be a joyless period.
He need not say any more than
āthis subject was discussed during my election to the Senate, and my constituents were satisfied enoungh to send me to Washington to represent their interestsā
ā¦then right back to needling Trump.
