(43,155 posts)Afternoon Fox is the where they place the slightly more realistic based people who sometimes show a grip on reality. Of course it's in the middle of the afternoon, so barely anyone watches.
Compare this to Morning Fox and Evening Fox, both of whom will be angrily insisting that this was nothing but a Deep State conspiracy against Trump.

starts the verbal diahrea/ballet, paraphrasing:
trumps yesterday rally was the most fantastic hes ever seen, not to say his precious werent great, and it must be because their internal polls were so great, and he never said those things and the proof that it was another dem hit job is that there was an ad about it on msnbc already this morning so they must have had it ready proving the coordination with release of another hit job, and it was probably all to distract from the pelosi story, which was starting to get legs! and the loser story could not be true because otherwise it would already have leaked and sarah sanders says it wasnt true and anyway trump is totally anti-needless war, while hes built defense up like never before every allegation against trump has been a lie from the leftist socialist marxist deep state democrats, and theyre trying to distract from a great economic numbers, pelosi, bidens age and mental problems . and so on
so 20 mil hear that and the millions of frightened uncertainty avoiding sex on the wrong brain teabag dittoheads hear all this mush and limbaugh will end it with a comforting conclusion oozing with certitude the democrats are lying.
this is the standard technique when something goes bad and the smorgasbord of excuses will be there for the rest of the days blowhards to pick through and regurgitate to awaiting twits and if they waver there will be dittoheads to call in and correct them
they had a prerecorded hannity radio show maybe because hannity had no clue what to do and what he was going to say was getting undercut by their own channel
and no kidding, really, no kidding, one of the rw stations ads right after that is about some in-office treatment to get the plaque out of you penile tissues guaranteed to improve your erection! ..i havent called but heres the number 720 552 8181

Regarding McCain, "The President just hated John McCain. He always asked, 'Why do you see him as a hero?" Two sources confirmed the President did not want flags lowered but others in the White House ordered them at half mast. There was a stand off and then the President relented.

President Trump's staff explained he could cancel (his visit to the cemetery), but he was warned, 'They (the press) are going to kill you for this'." The President was mad as a hornet when they did.

When asked IF the President could have driven to the Aisne-Marne Cemetery, this former official said confidently:
"The President drives a lot. The other world leaders drove to the cemeteries. He just didn't want to go."

(7,510 posts)The ones who got shot at and wounded, shot and killed the enemy, and saw their friends die or be maimed.
The gung ho vets tend to be those who served in peacetime or who were stationed far from personal danger.
Looking forward to hearing from my grand nephew who just got back from Afghanistan. But I think his experience was basically like serving a prison sentence -- confined to base for a year doing guard duty.

(10,053 posts)The comments posted after their article that "trumpy never said such things" are interesting.....
This completely tracks with his previous comments and his entire personality.
Trump says he couldn't get to the cemetery in France because of bad weather. Yet, Merkel, Trudeau, and Macron all managed to get there. That's what leaders do.
Exactly. Trump was concerned more about his "hair" getting wet than paying respects to fallen American Heroes. It was funny, and a sign of US Military disdain for Trump when they placed a fan at the West Point podium blowing his comb over up and over his bald spot. Which might explain why he was so nervous he couldn't even raise a glass of water to his mouth, or walk down some steps.
They should just use the usual excuse, and say that he was obviously joking....
Kayleigh McEnany taking no questions today at the White House press briefing pretty much confirms this is as true.
Heck, the military might remove him well before he refuses to leave at this point. LOL
*while there are still trumpy lovin diehards there, kind of surprised to see the negative comments. I love it!

(5,721 posts)"Both sides had draft dodgers, but while liberals vociferously oppose war as anything but a last resort---something that could've gotten you killed back in the days of the Vietnam 'police action'---conservative chickenhawks root for it as long as someone else is taking the risk."
Today, the argument is different: Generalissimo Corpulente was afraid to fight (or just terrified of the prospect of Boot Camp) AND is openly contemptuous of those who serve in the military. There's a reason he smirks the way he does when he performs that grotesque pantomime with the American flag; he's laughing at the assholes who buy into his performance AND the non-assholes who find it offensive.
He. Hates. Everyone.

Donald Trump is the most loathsome creature ever to cast a dark shadow on our government.
But to be perfectly honest ...
I believe Vietnam WAS a stupid war, immoral and unjust. If I was born a few years earlier I would have been eligible for the draft and would have moved to Canada if necessary.
