VA Secretary Swats Down Report On Trump Calling Fallen Soldiers ‘Losers’ | Talking Points Memo

Brings to mind the morning I found that Scalia had passed. My elation tempered by the fact it hadn’t happened sooner.

Agreed, it’s a crap headline.

I’m so relieved. As a life-long Democrat/Liberal this election will be so satisfying. If Biden wins, of course we won’t get Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, student debt relief, banking reform or an end to perpetual war. What we will get is a Democrat who’s not a republican; and that, my fellow libs, is good enough.

That could explain the 180 degree swing to a eunuch like Slenderman…

If he dies in office, he’s a martyr and Pence gets an electoral bump.

If he survives, he goes to jail bigtime.

Remember, he was also rally pissed off at Macron that day, too.

True — and after the war, they would have been in the “I know nothing” contingent, just like now.

That was my first thought.
When you start trotting out the low-level flunkies it’s not a good look.

When asked whether he ever heard the President say disparaging things about service members during an interview on CNN, Wilkie replied, “Well, absolutely not.”

Ok, so he wasn’t present when Trump said these things, and took 3 days to even issue a response, only doing so when prompted, so he’s literally done nothing to “swat down” the report (by I believe 4 separate sources now) that Trump said those things. Whomever write the TPM headlines needs to get their head out of their ass and stop with the click bait shit.

I think Macron might have said something that showed dignity, humanity, honorable observations. Didn’t trump give an interview that day where he laughed with the gravestones in the background? Or was that another fuck up?
