First, I would not vote for Hillary Clinton Under any circumstances. Period. She is and always will be a dispicable, lying, money grubbing, sexual predator enabling cunt. She is the worst example of the American Political System.

But, Donald Trump's reaction to the retired Lt Colonel handing him a Purple Heart was unacceptable. The proper reaction would be, "I appreciate this great gesture, but the only person who should have one of these is a person who was wounded in combat. Thank you, but I cannot accept this".

Hillary is probably going to win this election. The Supreme Court will be a Liberal/Socialist/Progressive institution for the next 50 years. The Country will be even more divided than it is now.

I'm old. I can just coast until I die. But we now are faced with a situation where our kids, and their kids, are faced with living in an America that will be a shadow of it's former glory. Originally Posted by Jackie S

Trump's List of Supreme Court Nominees

Steven Colloton of Iowa,
Allison Eid of Colorado,
Raymond Gruender of Missouri,
Thomas Hardiman of Pennsylvania,
Raymond Kethledge of Michigan,
Joan Larsen of Michigan,
Thomas Lee of Utah,
William Pryor of Alabama,
David Stras of Minnesota,
Diane Sykes of Wisconsin and
Don Willett of Texas.

This was Trump at his finest. If he hadn't already, in a 30 second film clip he just threw away thousands of the votes of the military service with his disrespect of that medal. A friend of mine who served in Vietnam texted how disgusted he was, noting the "easy way" Trump said he got the Purple Heart.

Any of you posters here that are veterans of the military and still support Trump by deflecting this thread, saying Trump was "kidding" about his "easy way" of receiving it...please...wake up.

It hits you when you realize the country doesn't value you, and you can't do shit about it - except bitch at the assholes on a SHMB, and keep paying the bills since people depend upon you.

Not sure why you're surprised. Trump is who he is. He does't care about vets at all. You should have felt this way a long time ago when he TOTALLY denigrated the service of John Mccain. I felt bad for Mccain, here you have a guy who was tortured for 5 yrs and while Trump got 5 Military deferments so he wouldn't have to go to war.

He has no respect for the military and his actions yesterday with that Purple heart proved it. I just don't know what more he can do except come out and openly admit that he has no respect for his voters. Then again I'm sure some of you guys would just brush it off as if he didn't say it.

You are the one who wants to mind read and "interpret" what someone thought!

Again, the lack of outrage -- or at least disgust -- over yesterday's Drumpf moment is appalling.

As a patriotic American, a liberal and a veteran, I an totally disgusted by Drumpf's cavalier, minimizing attitude toward the sacrifices made by our troops.

But not surprised.

He is similarly as callous and unappreciative for anybody who has served the people of this nation.

Talk about privilege....

He'll abandon ship when Drumpf criticizes slavery.

I will vote for Trump, if for no other reason, what you see, is what you get. He is brash, he's an egomaniac, he is a narcissist. I personally think he is the reincarnation, (politically), of Andrew Jackson.

Of course, with Hillary, it's the same thing. What you see is a dispicable, lying, money grubbing, sexual predator enabling cunt, and what you get is a dispicable, lying, money grubbing, sexual predator enabling cunt.

Hildebeest is the only candidate who has announced that she intends to use the power of the federal government -- like Hitler -- to curtail the rights of American citizens stipulated in the First and Second Amendments, pro-plunged-ass.

The "Generals" think "ISIS/ISIL" are NOT a threat and are CONTAINED!

Right?
