    Trump was attacked for not contacting the families in the timeline sought by MSM ( that did not know he had already sent letters).. The issue and outrage is caused by the same media.. Those on the side of hating the word Trump dont care about facts however.

    I agree that Pres Trump handles himself extremely poorly when personal issues arise, but I do not think US Generals should not be allowed to serve in the Executive Office.

    In the interest of fairness though; while it is true that the general has worn the uniform and talked the talk and walked the walk for pretty much all of his adult life the talking leftist heads at CNN and the news rags of effete leftists journalists of The Washington Post and The New York Times have SNEERED at men and women in uniform. In the world of leftists that is pretty much the same thing as actually having put yourself on the line. It is in any event the closest that any of them will ever get to it.

    Nothing offends you, does it? Trump can be as stupid, low down, arrogant, lying and disgusting as humanly possible.. and you still mewl over him.

    Margot and the person who penned that diatribe forgets who our first President was.

    I was talking about the myth that Pres Trump started that Pres Bush and Obama called all the fallen soldiers families. Pres Trump is his own worst enemy, and he certainly handles himself poorly in such situations, children act better.

    I think they work for us. Trump also works for us, the American people. He thinks he works for his base. Trump thinks that the Generals are his, because everything is always about Trump.

    Kelly is cool .. He wasn't rattled.. and he's used to addressing men. When Trump is rattled or lying.. he goes into this manic, incoherent word salad.

    I didn't ask if you'd heard it before. Focus. Congresswoman Wilson clearly said that she "looked up" the meaning of empty barrel, and announced it was racist, and subsequently played the race card to exit the whole incident.

    I asked you where she supposedly looked this up. If you're going to hold the congresswoman up as symbol of virtue, show she's not lying (again) to score cheap political points. Answer where I can look up "empty barrel" = Racism, or admit Wilson is a liar. Don't make this more complicated than necessary.

    Nothing offended you, did it? Obama as president was consistently as nation-hating, corrupt to the core, low down, arrogant, narcissistic race-baiting and racist and lying as humanly possible . . . and you still mewled over him. Fascinating.

    Perhaps thinking people don't react in a knee-jerk, partisan fashion like some. I don't share your one sided assessment of the situation. Your TDS is blatantly on display.

    Well yes; Trump has never been a four star general. Trump is as thin skinned and easily rattled as Obama was. The only difference is that Trump is not a racist and does not hate this nation whereas Barack is and does.

    It's about his credibility. It would seem as traitors go, you find his peachy.

    That is true, because Trump will always manage to spew forth an outrageous statement at any moment, keeping you offended
    fairly regularly, yes?

    an excerpt:

    Since Kelly’s arrival, Trump has ignited explosive cultural confrontations, failed again to repeal Obamacare and looked thoroughly hapless in his inability to articulate or stick to any position for more than an hour or so.

    Trump blusters and threatens North Korea; he alarms European allies by threatening to trash the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Trump under Kelly’s “day care” still has not filled a slew of top-level posts.

    Trump is not becoming more competent, more focused, more civil or more respectful of others under Kelly’s tutelage. In fact, he’s getting worse on all four counts.

    Kelly’s eagerness to defend the president’s unconscionable behavior and Kelly’s own lack of respect for civilian politicians simply feed Trump’s demons.

    Obama was cool and could slow down and think on his feet. Trump can't.. He instantly gets defensive and incoherent.

    Didn't Obama compare himself to both Lincoln and Reagan? There's a law against that?
