    Nobody is saying Kelly can't be questioned. I love how the left has made this about Kelly and not about the reprehensible behavior of Congresswoman Wilson. It was absolutely wrong for her to weigh in on a call between the President and the widow. Wilson knew exactly what Trump was trying to convey, and instead of helping the widow with any misunderstanding, she turned the whole thing into a publicity stunt.

    Shame on her, and shame on anyone who buys into her BS.

    That isn't how debate works. You don't get to just say "nope" when you make an ass of yourself, and then drop out as if there was a difference of opinion... I stated facts. There is nothing to disagree on... they're ****ing facts. What assumption, pray tell, were you referring to that you thought I made, and how did you determine it was wrong?

    What an idiotic idea. It doesn't come as surprise though. Judging by some posts there are quite few deluded ones who would rather staff the White House with communists and their sympthasiers than patriotic Americans.For example, Obama's administration. A total disgrace.

    Russian Collusion in Democrat Inner Circle?
    http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/08/russian_collusion_in_democrat_inner_circle.html

    As I wrote previously, Obama's entire innermost circle were children of communists. That does not happen by coincidence.

    With the help of a partisan, unethical press, the Democrats normalized Obama's every aberrant trait. But Obama is aberrant. He is a Democrat in name only – in reality, he is a hard left "red diaper baby" – as were Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod. Obama has had literally lifelong radical ties, starting with his grandfather and mother, as well as his Kenyan father, and Obama's beloved teenage mentor, child molester Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Communist Party. According to Paul Kengor, Frank Davis's political work for the Soviets got him placed on the FBI's Security Index, so he could be immediately arrested in a national emergency – the Cold War equivalent of our terrorist watchlist.

    In the White House, President Obama surrounded himself with more red diaper babies and communist-supporters. CIA director John Brennan voted for the Communist Party candidate in the 1976 presidential election. Obama biographer David Maraniss was a red diaper baby. So was Obama's pick to head Homeland Security, Jeh Johnson.

    Cold War historian Paul Kengor goes deeply into Obama's communist background in an article in American Spectator, "Our First Red Diaper Baby President," and in an excellent Mark Levin interview. Another Kengor article describes the Chicago communists whose younger generation include David Axelrod, Valerie Jarrett, and Barack Hussein Obama. Add the openly Marxist, pro-communist Ayers, and you have many of the key players who put Obama into power.

    Axelrod himself was discovered and launched in his career by Stalinists in Chicago, the Cantor family...

    Not outrage, only an observation. He said pointedly that Obama did not call. Why did he say that when it was "fake"? And why did he say that when he had no idea whether Obama called? If he didn't know, then why make up "fake" stories?
    Get it?

    You think that I am a vile person for criticizing Trump? What planet are you from?
    Oh, and Margot is correct in her views of Trump in my view.

    Generals do what they are ordered to do, even when situations prove to be untenable. They deal the cards that they have.These retired Generals, in my view, are essential to keep an out of control Trump somewhat in line----maybe, hopefully, please?

    After all the fiascos the US military has got itself into, from Vietnam to Afghanistan via Iraq and Syria, perhaps someone ought to start questioning the generals? If they were up to the job they wouldn't keep losing their wars.

    The grim period of time is occurring right in front of you, in case you are not in tune to it.

    You know exactly what she means, my friend. What she means is that you can't place your hand where it does not belong - how many more times? So, enough already.

    I believe that our Presidents have been responsible for these poor decisions, and results.

    Arguable - their decisions were based on advice from the generals.

    bbbut he has a history of sexual predatory behavior and he said he grabs women and starts kissing, along with the statement
    that as a star, they 'let you grab them by the crotch.' That is an admission. Also, he now has Gloria Allred to deal with, and that can't be fun. And then there is the bragging to Howard Stern about his stroll among the beauty pageant contestants that were young and undressed in a room w/o men present, according to him. Don't sound innocent to me. You?

    I don't believe that Bush got advise from the Generals when he went into Iraq under false pretenses. I think he went there to kill Sadaam for his attempt on Bush senior's life after he was out of office. And I think he got his advise from Cheney. I don't believe that
    Trump is listening to our Generals at all. There is no way that they would advise him to mouth off.

    That's exactly how the thread starter wants you to think all the while forgetting who was responsible for those wars. Very little to do with generals. Most decisions were made by neocons and their liberal interventionist allies. So instead of blaming people like McCain, Graham, Hillary Clinton, Wolfowitz, Kagan's couple, Lieberman etc...you blame generals who had very little to do with decision making.

    One thing you need to realize is if you know that you are right and I know that I am right, then it is impossible to come to an agreement, therefore further dialogue is useless. I want you to think about what I just said since its the rational way to view things.

    secondly, please change the tenor of your language when debating with me, you score no points when you act like that. I'm hoping you take that to heart, lest having any debate with you would be a complete waste of time if there was ever any hope of agreeing on any debate in here. so please consider that as well.
