This will not fly with mikitary people!

The politics is that putin has long been jealous of our amazing military, so chump feels need to denegrate them.

He wasn't put in this position because he has any clue about veteran affairs.

It was a very convoluted sentence but he basically said trump has done more for veterans and the military than any one since WWII.

He claims he’s also seen trump write letters of condolences to the families of fallen soldiers.

Joe Biden will write those letters himself. He’s done it before. He’s not afraid of grieving family. Nor is he disgusted by wounded veterans. I’ve seen him at funerals for police who were killed on the job. I saw him bury his face in his hands. I saw him spend a lot of time with the man’s widow and three-year-old daughter.

We need to force the point about trump's insults aimed at Sen. McCain. "I don't like people who have been captured". We need to keep bringing it up on all forms of social media and hopefully, someone in the media can question him about it. If the media doesn't bring it up, we can. Let's show the world what an America hating asshole he really is.

speakers and strangle him.

He kept on changing the subject to how great Trump is doing with the VA-- even though the VA is not demonstrably better.

As a VA client, I will say it's gotten somewhat better over the many years, but nothing points to Trump or this ass kisser.
