I just heard that the war in Afghanistan is ending soon and all troops will be brought home. I know you guys aren't big fans of Trump but he gets things done.

Ok....then WHY didn't get rid of HIMSELF from the get go!!!

5 ( +11 / -6 )

He said he has been replacing them with “people who love our country.”

Euphemism for 'people who kowtow to me and also want to see the republic undermined so predatory capitalists like me (Trump) can prey on the general population unchecked'. That flag hugging pict is cringeworthy. Seeing a man who's only taken from his country and given less than he's been required to (Google Trump tax dodge - BTW has anyone seen his latest taxes?) do that is sickening. Almost as bad as Trump pretending to be a conductor while the national anthem's played. Only a person who evaded serving his country would be that disrespectful.

that his “journey” in the nation's highest office would have been a failure had he not be able to rid the government of people he says are “bad.”

He forgot to add “The only bad guy left is me”

The others all are nutless nutters!!!

Trump says getting rid of 'bad' people after using their talents to help him get where he is made him successful

. . . what about the Russians? . . . . https://www.msnbc.com/mtp-daily/watch/breaking-russia-is-aiding-pres-trump-in-2020-election-according-to-the-new-york-times-79106117926

If getting rid of bad people was what really made Trump successful, then he'd have jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge years ago.

In truth, Trump is successful because he's like a big fat shark without a moral compass who'll take a bite out of anybody that happens to get near him and not lose any sleep over it at the end of the day.

What a demented fellow. Can't wait till he's out of office.

Somebody at the Whitehouse will test positive one day, Trump will freak out

what about the Russians?

Trump, McConnell, Graham, Rubio, Cruz etal have sold American sovereignty for a few million more. They know the best way for them to get even richer is to stay in office and sell their services to the highest bidder, US or 'foreign'. They care two nothings about the country, its constitution, and those unable to contribute to their campaigns.

The Taliban has no governmental power, only thing will be brought are more Americans bodies, the Taliban were Bin Laden benefactor, who hatch his plot while he was allied with Mullah Omar

Trump came into office railing against what he and his allies call the “deep state” — career government employees and political appointees held over from prior administrations — claiming it was out to undermine him.

Donnie's going all in on the QAnon conspiracy theory, isn't he...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon

Tomorrow he'll tell us JFK Jr is on his side and will continue to report on the Deep State from a basement in Washington...

These folks are just flat out nuts...

And Donnie, stop molesting the flag...

Putin had NO IDEA how destructive Trump would prove to be to the American government.

He must be watching this train wreck in slack-jawed amazement - the "useful idiot" proves to be his greatest coup ever.

Finally, Russia finds a way to bring America to its knees -- and puts the Arsenal of Democracy under the thumb an inept con-man. Who could have seen THAT coming?

Wow, the you need to study the history of socialism and communism, the only people reaping the benefits are the people pushing and overseeing and Presiding over it.

That flag hugging pict is cringeworthy.

Why, he’s a Patriot and loves his country, I love the flag, deeply.

Seeing a man who's only taken from his country and given less than he's been required to (Google Trump tax dodge - BTW has anyone seen his latest taxes?)

That’s the liberals opinion, punish the rich, take from them and drizzle it over the less fortunate.

do that is sickening. Almost as bad as Trump pretending to be a conductor while the national anthem's played. Only a person who evaded serving his country would be that disrespectful.

He wasn’t the only President to have done that.

Mentally, emotionally and intellectually lacking and the flag should be respected not disrespected with infantile behaviour.

When liberals get upset over something that trivial, I always have to smile. Lol

-16 ( +2 / -18 )

Still a very much long way to go as there are many of the 1% mega rich I both Democratic and Republican parties. In addition both parties have lots of members sitting on fund/business corporate boards or heavily vested in 3,,5th party divestures that are hard to trace and making huge profits. Who says crime doesn't pay was not aware of white collar crime.

If you respect the flag you don't emotionally hug it like a child.

Yeah, who says so? Where does it specifically say that? Come on, I have yet to see Democrats wear the flag pin on their lapel jackets, they don’t. Tells a lot about how they feel about their country.

And Trump supporters need to study fascism -

Like liberals that want to block conservatives on college campuses to speak and silence geniuses like Ben Shapiro from speaking or alienating anyone that supports conservatives like him. Fascism in its purest form.

BS - a patriot serves his country during war in uniform

A Patriot also fights for his country and does whatever he must to keep it safe as the Commander In Chief.

Like farm subsidies...

Temporary

More weak, pathetic excuses - its all they've got...

No, it’s in the history books wiki Clinton and it’s all there.

Man, that's grotesque. Did someone spray the flag with Ivanka's perfume?

Sorry, but I don't regard lapel pins --- or any sort of demonstratively superficial garb, like MAGA hats or T-shirts --- as a reliable test of either good personal character or patriotic sentiment.

They may have been bad but he is worse.

No, it just says something about their attitude to smarmy, meaningless virtue-signalling in the form of lapel badges.

Yes, it’s the debate, so of course they will for that occasion. 

Same type of people who think you shouldn't burn the flag or stomp on it

They do? That would be a first.

Sorry, but I don't regard lapel pins --- or any sort of demonstratively superficial garb, like MAGA hats or T-shirts --- as a reliable test of either good personal character or patriotic sentiment.

True, but it’s just odd, how most liberals talk less about their country with pride compared to conservatives that lover every fiber of it. That’s a very good indicator though.

Mr. Trump, please do us a favor, please get rid of yourself...

Yeah, often liberals say that, but I hear liberals always bash it unlike most conservatives.

Mr. Trump, please do us a favor, please get rid of yourself..

In 4 years you’ll get your wish.

The American flag code stipulates that the flag should not be worn unless on a military uniform. That would presumably include flag pins worn by politicians. The code also states that it should not be used for advertising purposes.

yes, there is nothing specifically mentioning hugging the flag, but anybody but a Trump sycophant would consider this in extremely poor taste.

Trump hugs the flag because he cannot demonstrate respect in his actions. Everything for him is a show to draw attention to himself.

infantile.

In Trumpworld, "bad" = "competent."

Anyone who believes only the republicans are people who love their country and patriots are doing a great insult to the many millions of non republicans serving their country and communities in so many ways.

I’m not saying that, but what I am saying is most liberals always complain about their country, I have a lot of liberal friends in they are always complaining and when you compare that to most conservatives who are for the most part pretty content with their lives, especially now and many of my liberal friends who are very wealthy and they still complain. They may love their country, but it’s definitely not there as it is with conservatives. Especially when they spout of socialist ideas.

Um, your team’s motto is literally a complaint that there is something wrong with the county. Maga.
