Discussion: Trump Claims He 'Spoke Of The Name' Of US Soldier In Call To Soldier's Widow

He’s probably going to donate his $400k-plus salary at the end of the year in order to take a tax deduction. On another tax filing we won’t see.

@spencersmom If young people who are inclined join the military for reasons including getting an education, I hope they’re paying attention to this administration’s plans to privatize the VA. Imperfect as it may, it’s cost effective and better than finding a primary care doctor in the private sector which has too few right now.

@Lacuna-Synecdoche Loren or Lollobrigida looks and an excess of mascara will only take a girl so far. There’s somebody younger and more eager in the wings.

I hate to ask this, but does Spencer have any medical conditions that might get him out of a possible draft?

That is it in a nutshell, isn’t it?

Frankly, that’s a sign of debilitating paranoia.

I read he’s giving it away quarterly. First, he gave it to Zinke for the National Parks Service and then secondly, at the beginning of July he gave the second installment to DeVos at the Dept. of Ed. All I’m saying is I want proof its been put to use, in full, in those departments and not rerouted by those two clowns.

Wacky President Trump is the gift that keeps on giving for the Democratic Party, a disaster for Cons. You watch him in action & vote D!*

Does anyone believe that either Zinke or DeVos will not take a personal chunk of it before they do what’s intended with it.

If Tramp spoke to one gold star family each time he played golf since January, he still would have had over a dozen games without having to be bothered by dead members of the military.

Since his occupancy, 21 US service members have died in combat and about 40 have died in other accidents (ship collisions, helicopter accidents,etc.)

This weekend Tramp tops 75 days of golf since the end of January. Nine months. 75+ days of golf. Let that sink in…

Indeed. Not even “your husband”. No wonder she felt that there was no respect.

he still doesn’t know Sgt Johnson’s name, and knows he doesn’t even care to know it because he hasn’t bothered to learn it before bringing this up again; in his arrogance, he believe he can continue to pretend and no one will notice, that he has everyone fooled with his “best words”

I think they’ll funnel it back into the RNC for their unaccountable fund for his legal defense. Something more like that…It’ll still end up benefitting that fucker somehow. That’s how graft works. That’s why he’s picking the most unethical, corrupt people for his administration. There is no other plausible reason.

Btw, DeVos just rescinded 72 guidance documents that were on the books to benefit the disabled.

(I’d link to WaPo but I used up my article allotment for the month)

Here are the 72 rescinded guidelines, many of which make absolutely no sense to rescind. Just more cruel political posturing.

Much as I like some of The Ramones’ songs, the truth is Joey Ramone was a reactionary right-wing Republican whack-job who, if he were still alive, would probably love Donald Trump. So I doubt Joey would regret his paean to Maria Bartiromo.

Edited to Add: Wow, I don’t usually stick my foot in my mouth that badly. And as someone who was a college radio dj for a number of years, there is no way I should have made this mistake, but as massie correctly notes below: I mixed up Johnny and Joey Ramone.

My bad, mea culpa. Apologies to all concerned.

But for Trump, it is all about him.

He has two things going on here. One he’s a master of media manipulation and unfettered access to it. Kelly’s useless to stop him, and so is anyone else. Two he also has something volatile to say which some day might come back to bite him on the ass. Self incriminating, or something like that.

He needs to be given a script that never changes that includes something like “the sacrifice of that heroic serviceperson” so he doesn’t have to be bothered with names. Take it a step further and make it one of those “smart” responses that puts in the name of the deceased based on the name associated with the number. All the widows, widowers, children, and other relatives could be given a number like 1-WHCondolen and a PIN to get their message. Let THEM call if they want condolences.

Now he’s accusing Sgt. Johnson’s widow of lying and his family that was in that car.
Starting Nov. 7th we the people who sick of the lies the racial epithets, the thievery of our healthcare our retirements benefits, stop the march to war can stop it by register to vote then VOTE.
