[Miles Archer]

Interesting to watch Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut talking about hoax Russian collusion when he was a phony Vietnam con artist!

Never in U.S.history has anyone lied or defrauded voters like Senator Richard Blumenthal. He told stories about his Vietnam battles and....

...conquests, how brave he was, and it was all a lie. He cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness like a child. Now he judges collusion?

You're one to talk about Vietnam. #VetsAgainstTrump

5 Draft Deferments, using your wealth and privilege to avoid fighting while others less "elite" were drafted. #VetsAgainstTrump

"He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured." - @realDonaldTrump

You fought to kick Vietnam Veteran street vendors off of 5th Avenue because you felt that Veterans made the street less "classy."

You attacked a Gold Star family, because they asked you to read the United States Constitution. #VetsAgainstTrump

You exploited a grief-stricken Gold Star Widow on national TV, using her as a political prop while her dead SEAL's Dad condemned you.

You took an un-earned Purple Heart medal, and bragged about how you "always wanted a Purple Heart... this is much easier."

You attacked Veterans with PTSD, saying that wounded warriors struggling with their experiences are "not strong."

1. How do the Repugnants get so much mileage from so little?

Dodger Drumph was "the greatest" athlete but could not serve because of a bone spur?

Where is the evidence he ever had such a spur?

And let's see that spur now.

Or has it magically disappeared?

2. Five-deferment Comrade Trump

thinks he's an expert on the Vietnam War and truth telling.

3. I'm glad they're counter-punching.

It needs to be thrown back in his face that he owes apologies for his cowardice and offensive comments toward veterans. He's a hypocrite.

6. Yes, and we need to keep bringing it up

You might get tired of hearing the Affordable Care Act promise that you could keep your (shitty, no coverage, high-deductible) insurance, but the right wing noise machine never gets tired of trotting it out, in spite of the fact that the ACA forced insurance companies to discontinue those shitty policies, and Republicans did their level best to keep decent coverage away from millions.

We need similar perseverance when it comes to Trump's saber-rattling, and remind everyone that when the time came for him to answer the nation's call, he cocooned into his unearned privilege and let others go over to Vietnam in his place.

4. And trump had the nerve to describe his avoidance of STD's as "my Viet Nam."

As if managing to steer clear of a dose of clap was just like taking enemy fire in Southeast Asia. What a loathsome, ignorant little man.
