(24,455 posts)For comparison....1968 was the worst year for US deaths in Vietnam - 16,900. We'll meet that in 2 weeks. Total US deaths in Vietnam for all years - 56,000. we'll pass that in less than 2 months. There is going to be a lot of unhappiness in the USA in a very short time.
Keep talking Trump....I can't wait to see your performance in 2 weeks.
Edited to fix date - was: 1958 fixed to: 1968

(24,455 posts)Typo on my part. Obviously 1958 was just the very start of that decade long disaster.

(24,455 posts)Because it really is all on Trump. No easy way out of his criminal crimes against US humanity.
Ignorant? Stupid? Naive? Owned? A combo platter, perhaps? Remember, these are the actions of an already impeached President. saved by a Republican CYA vote. How do you like losing the US military, Republicans? Maybe you have a huge problem on your hands....and your act of inaction tells me that you are all in with Trump. Why??
Cuz Republicans have been selling out this country since 1984 when they ran a movie actor, Ronald Reagan, to play President. He was the Happy Face of the Party, while the managing directors started selling off publicly owned assets for pennies on the dollar. I'll give Republicans a pass for nominating Nixon in 1962....the Party was Eisenhower Republicans and that was a different Party that Nixon hijacked.
Please read the 1952 vs.1956 Republican platform and marvel at how different this Party is now. The paranoics had control in 52, Ike had control in 1956.....and I would be damn proud to be an Eisenhower Republican today.
