GOP says: fuck veterans.
Grasping at ANY straw that presents itself the Liar-in-Chief stops at nothing, no character assassination too craven, no lie too outlandish, no foreign strongman too smelly to bed.
Conversely, since Nazis and the Racists and the other assorted Despicables think of Trump as a member of their respective group, Trump must be a Nazi, a Racist, and a Despicable Bigot.
The RNC logic works both ways.
So now, McR. can no longer be considered to be one of “Rump’s military.” If Rump labels someone a Democrat (rightfully or not) that’s it. They become persona non grata and certainly not a patriot. Because loyalty to Rump IS patriotism.
From what I’ve heard elsewhere, it’s not like McR really gives two sh*ts about that.
The RNC has no choice but to back trump… and pray his takeover of our democracy succeeds. Otherwise, they’re going to be in Mueller’s sites for distributing Russian money to their candidates. Most republicans in congress understand this. They’ve all been caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Some knew it was Russian money (McConnell) while others learned of it’s origin after the fact. Some are quietly resigning and hoping to get away clean. Others are going all-in with trump. With trump loyalists atop the RNC, they’re going all-in.
The rMoney niece says this.
RNC Backs Trump Up, Insists That Adm. McRaven Is A Political Figure
Keep digging.
Yet another damaging dimension of goppioni (=GOP Partisan Interest Over National Interest)
Dump is the party and the party is Dump. May the shitshow of the next two years relegate it to minor party status for generations.
You cannot expect any courage or leadership from an organization whose leader changed her name to placate Trump. Which is why Republicans will suffer again in 2020. Ordinary Americans cannot be happy about this.
I’m old enough to remember when national security was in the wheelhouse of the Republican Party. And now they’re trashing the military’s brightest stars? Unbelievable.
It’s a Valerie Plame / John Kerry redux.
You have to be some kind of world class chump to believe the GOP gives a wet slap about military or public service.
It is amazing how complete the transformation of the Republican party has been. The only thing we will ever have to thank Donald Trump for is the marginalization, if not complete end of, the corrupt, immoral Republican Party. History will not be kind.
Please proceed, GOPers, follow your leader right into the bowl he just flushed.
The tribalism is strong…
If I were in the military I would be so over the “commander” in chief.
How can they have any respect for the man who has only given them lip service.
Yes, they’re no longer a loyal opposition, they are would-be totalitarians. Scary.
In addition to the Racist support, I have been investigating the possibility of having Little Donnie committed to a mental health facility on the grounds that he poses a threat to the lives of every person on the face of the earth. Using RNC logic that means that Trump is a mentally deranged mass killer.
Next up, they claim he is a mean person. Just a meanie. Then they collapse in vapors and insist on people carrying them as they have no will to go on.
The SEALS should invite their Commander in Chief to lead their next mission and show them the right way to do it. As Trump said about the Parkland shooting, if I were there I would have charged into the school!
