Republicans are patriots and Christians. I’m sure there is nothing to worry about.

It’s unfortunate that a decorated veteran and Harvard grad, with 20 years of service to the nation, would probably be accorded more respect in Ukraine than he is here.

“Although he has served our country for more than 20 years and is a recipient of the Purple Heart after being injured while serving in Iraq, he has been called a variety of derogatory terms and some have even gone so far as to call him a spy and question his loyalty to the United States.”

It’s totally legit to suspect an American of espionage if they were born in another country.

Now, about Melania…

This is where we are now. Sad.

Has anyone accused him of using a body double* yet?

*He has an identical twin brother, Yevgeny, who is also an Army Lieutenant Colonel, and a JAG Officer who is assigned as an attorney on the National Security Council staff handling … wait for it … ethics issues.

The delicious irony is that our worst traitors – US and British – going back through the 1930s, WW2 and the Cold War were all native born.

The Democrats really need to do more of this…the vilification of people by the right wind news media needs to be stopped, because it ruins the lives of the people subjected to it. The woman who testified against Kavanaugh, Dr. Ford, apparently still receives death threats and had to make big changes to her life after her testimony. That just should not happen to any American, and it’s a right wing phenomenon that is encouraged from the very top of their party (and not just Trump).

After all, he was there until 3 years old. We can only imagine how hard wired he was for the motherland after living there for so long.
These people are idiots and can you imagine how much they’d vilify just a regular Joe off the street if it turned out he had credible dirt on the criminal in chief? Please, this party needs to be extinct.

Except that the minions are the ones to be concerned with. Those dopes have no sense of propriety or reason. If they thought this guy was a threat to their cult leader, they’d take him out in a NYC minute.

The concern is reasonable. And yes, I realize you were being sarcastic. :slight_smile:

The Catholic church once believed if you gave them a child to the age of 5, they were Catholics for live. So yeah, the Ukraine had 3 years of indoctrination.

Just like Obama’s family planted his birth announcement in the Honolulu newspaper to validate he was a US citizen…

Of course you did, where would we all be without your prescience.

And again thanks to Schumer. He knows how to play these things. The letter will raise up again the horrible slander spread by FOX, John Yoo (and is he not an agent for North Korea? Does he have an “affinaty” for foreign born Korean dictators?), and the Duffy dick-head. I want this story to get more coverage, and Schumer is doing his best to push the narrative.
