It’s sad when a man who dodged military service decides that people who are brave enough to volunteer for it, aren’t allowed to.

These discussions about who’s OK to serve and who isn’t have been going on for decades and as far as I can recall the actual combat folks have always said they don’t care about anything but whether you can do the job. For some reason that seems like the most important thing to them.

I just watched the video Josh posted.

Ignorant, racist crap from an ignorant, chubby racist. Playing to a small crowd in SC.

SC is better than that. We saw it after the Charleston massacre. It was people like this jerk that influenced Dylann Roof.

There ought to be a law.

And Tammy wasn’t captured by the enemy and put in a POW camp for 5 years after being shot down, so Trump can’t make fun of her the way he did another military veteran who shall remain nameless. Although he probably thinks she’s a second-rate soldier because she lost her legs in service to her country.
After all, Donald has such compassion for current and veteran members of the armed forces. Bigly compassion.

That charming hunk o’ man in the video is probably Lindsey Graham’s leather daddy.

According to Trump, it makes one ineligible.

How many young people have those? I’m sure some do, and they actually remember which foot.

We really, really need you in the White House press pool, Ira. I know you’d only last about 4 1/2 minutes before Sanders had you removed by catapult, but it sure would be fun to watch you make flames shoot out of Sarah’s ears while it lasted.

Trump is an emotional, mental and physical wreck who needs a babysitter.

Can we all stop pretending this is normal, please.

There is none so deaf as he who will not hear. All of our military service leaders–every one of them, including the commandant of the Coast Guard–have spoken out against Trump’s ban. But Der Furor won’t listen.
