1. Trump prefers to attack people who can't fight back.

What better target than a dead guy?

2. He also prefers dead guys who "didn't get captured."

I keep asking myself "how did we come to this?"

And once I get past the obvious Russian intervention, I still keep asking.

I know that Trump didn't "create" anything. It was out there, and he exploited it.

He road-tested it with the "birther" nonsense. And once that worked for him, he knew it was time to run, and exploit it even further.

I AM encouraged that Lindsey Graham is getting called out for remaining silent on this and not defending his "old friend."

3. I can't imagine what Senator McCain and others endured.

What courage they had, what a strong will to live. I thank them and all the Vietnam Vets for their service.

4. Still sore about being excluded from the funeral.

5. Please, get off #45's back!!! He had bone spurs in his feet. The pain is extreme, and it

it only relieved by sex with prostitutes. #45 wanted to be inducted, but he was rejected by the army doctor.

You would understand if you ever had BS. Not a joking matter.

6. Uh oh, Lindsay steps up the the plate!:

As to @SenJohnMcCain and his devotion to his country:
He stepped forward to risk his life for his country, served
honorably under difficult circumstances, and was one of
the most consequential senators in the history of the body. (1/2)

Nothing about his service will ever be changed or diminished. (2/2)
