From the mouth of the man who used fake bone spurs to avoid the draft! And he says the only good veterans/solders are those who didn’t get caught! He turns truths and reality into whatever will serve is very questionable sense of morality. I just can’t understand how anyone can still support his drivel! I commend you and your brother for bravely bringing forth the real info about your uncle. I have never been a fan of DJT and am energized that we have the hopeful and sane option of Harris/Walz.

As a retired Rehabilitation Counselor, I was incensed by his mockery in 2016 of a journalist who seemed to display the presentation of someone with CP. I had no idea that he also has a great nephew with disabilities. His lack of empathy and support for your brother’s family is unconscionable!

I’m very pissed off.

[The Medal of Freedom is] actually much better because everyone [who] gets the congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers,” Trump said.

“They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead. She gets it, and she’s a healthy, beautiful woman. And they’re rated equal.” DJT

The Medal of Honor is the country’s highest military award. It is awarded to a military service member who “distinguishes himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty”.

Lincoln, at Gettysburg:

“But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.”

Shame on Donald. Anyone still doubts that he called the Normandy dead “losers?”

It’s unsurprising that Trump, known for his divisive rhetoric and lack of substance, has brought Lewandowski back into the fold. Surrounding himself with yes-men, Trump continues to focus on insults and negativity, starkly contrasting with Kamala Harris’ vision of hope and positivity. His disgraceful comments about Medal of Honor recipients further highlight his lack of patriotism and unfitness for leadership.

No surprise that when someone who feels entitled to grabbing womens' privates feels entitled to make personal attacks toward women.

The amount of soldiers that gave their lives for their country that are turning in their graves right now must be astounding. They should all haunt him 👻👻👻👻. He’s a selfish greedy entitled gross prick that should be sitting in prison right now because any other ordinary citizen that committed the same crimes he has would be in prison right now.

“Matt Zeller, a former Army captain and CIA officer who served in Afghanistan and has since worked for years to resettle Afghan allies who served with U.S. and coalition partners during America's longest war, denounced the former president's comments.”

"People need to see that this is who Trump is and how he sees those of us who have served in the military. He's been disparaging us for years," Zeller told CBS News. "I can only hope this latest affront against military service is the one that finally makes the rest of my fellow veterans see the light — the man is a con."

Mary, apologies but I wanted to let you know this post does not appear in my Substack feed and I did not receive any pop up notice of its publication. Perhaps others had the same issue. Thank you.

Thanks for mentioning this, Lisa. I've been having the same issue. It seems confined to the morning posts, at least for me - they do not appear in my feed and there is no notification. But the afternoon/evening posts do appear and notify. I reached out to Substack support but it wasn't very helpful, unfortunately.

I am 86 years of age. I have had a pretty good life and the bad things that I have experienced I can mostly blame on my own stupid choices I want one thing before I die: To wake up one morning (SOON!) and turn on the news and hear these words "Donald Trump is dead!" I do not drink, but I have a bottle of champagne that would (WILL!) be popped open on that heavenly day and shared with a neighbor as we dance in the cul-de-sac where our houses are located.

Look folks. You've got four years of hard economic data from the TRUMP / XXNCE Term One which would closely resemble the TRUMP / XXNCE Term Two, though based on what Sir has said Term One might look great in comparison with what he plans now. Anyway, you've got four years of hard economic data from the BIDEN / HARRIS Term One which will likely closely resemble the HARRIS / WALZ Term One.

So quit your whinging.

Donald J. Trump is a career con artist, self-entitled psychopathic liar, sociopath, & malignant narcosis, born into wealth by fraud, has never worked for an honest living a day in his life or for no one but his father who supported and enabled his lack of ability manage money or be accountable for the consequences that other people suffered because of his mismanagement, like the millions of Americans experienced during the pandemic and died from one of the most devastating acts of irresponsibility and unaccountability by person with the title of "president" in the history of America. Donald Trump a committed liar, a coward, who commits criminal acts of any variety as needed to protect the delusion of reality his mental illness generates to provide a platform for mental delusions and justifications of "it wasn't my me or my fault, it's their fault." Donald Trump gave Rush Limbaugh the medal of freedom, and called John McCain a war hero, a loser, again Donald is a mentally ill career con artist, there is nowhere in his life that honor exist! His history as a citizen should have been more than enough to make him never eligible to run for any office that required taking a sworn oath to office.
