Horrible for the Widow.

Consistent with how he speaks/tweets about Puerto Rico.

Then - Frum wraps it together with implications about the WH staff - read the following twitter thread (click on it to get the whole thread):

It is despicable that bereaved families are having to make public comments about this. Absolutely despicable.

And by his continued tweeting…it keeps these wounds so fresh and tender.

My disgust in this man knows no depths.

I was just going to write something similar to David Frum, it’s not only Donny, who isn’t quite right, there is a serous staff problem, somebody should have prepared notes, crib-sheets etc for Donald before such a call and walked him through the moves.

We saw it early on, when the WH forgot to wish ‘happy new Chinese New Year’ both to the Chinas, but also the Chinese-Americans. Amateur hour all day long, for10 months.

And the nutjobs will attack them on this basis; that it’s disrespectful to Trumpler to comment on a private conversation. Shows they’re really not grieving.

Think I’m being fanciful? Just watch.

I have no use for politicizing this. I’m simply ashamed. As an American, I’m ashamed.

So maybe the poor solder “knew what he signed up for” as far as the dangers and potential for death.

HOWEVER…he didn’t sign up to have his grieving widow and mother insulted AND then made into a political prop.

I’m not sure I can take any more of this…every day it’s another hideous insult to humanity…and that’s not even taking into account his failures in the mundane world of day-to-day politics.

Meanwhile, in an alternate universe, Fox is focused like a laser on an “explosive report” about Clinton & Comey. This is important because it builds the case that Clinton must be impeached.

Note also how Fox’s “Fair and Balanced” journalists cover the grieving widow story: Second tier, silliest image they can find of the congresswoman, “Talking through her hat?” – but nothing about the mother confirming what Wilson said.

This is why your Republican friends and family are living on the planet Zarphon.

First he asked her to get an abortion.

But I’m sure Paul Ryan will be along any moment now to explain that the commander-in-chief’s comments “aren’t helpful”, or some such vapid bullshit.

I don’t even want articles of impeachment today, I just want Republicans to tell the country that they are all ashamed.

Not that great.

If they had only apologized to him for letting him down so badly, none of this would have happened. We all know he only likes heroes who don’t get themselves killed.
