We're at the point where true patriots are rallying behind a draft dodger and denigrating a 4-star General. Unbelievable to me.The whole Trump phenomenon is just so bizarre to me. I don't ever recall people being so dedicated to a politician to the point of ignoring mounds of evidence about X (corruption, incompetence, dishonesty, etc.). I mean, seriously - 5 years ago would anybody have said "I'll definitely support and stand behind Donald Trump over a decorated military man"? I completely get why people attempt to "defend the shield" of the GOP or many of the beliefs and policies of the right and conservatives. But for the life of me I just have no clue why they support this guy. A guy that will lie about giving someone a nickname.
And his approval went UP today! (Rasmussen)We're at the point where true patriots are rallying behind a draft dodger and denigrating a 4-star General. Unbelievable to me.
Just amazing. Every military and religious person* has come out against his actions.And his approval went UP today!We're at the point where true patriots are rallying behind a draft dodger and denigrating a 4-star General. Unbelievable to me.
Again - I 100% get why folks want to defend the GOP/Conservatism/Religion, etc. There's aspects of that that I still defend. But I'll never get why THIS GUY. It's beyond cutting off your nose to spite your face. I know no one will believe me but I consider myself fairly objective - I've voted R for President in basically every election but the last one - the guy seems to be running the party and the GOP in to the ground for years to come. At some point you'd have to think that his supporters have to question whether all of this is worth it.We're at the point where true patriots are rallying behind a draft dodger and denigrating a 4-star General. Unbelievable to me.

If you (and I mean the general "you") take a step back history is riddled with examples of this. Its a very old story and behavior. Now throw in the rapid, immediate response and opinion propping of social media and you get this. Its no mystery. Its a cult of personality in the social media age. Nothing else matters, but protecting The Leader.The whole Trump phenomenon is just so bizarre to me.

At least he finally gets his wall
I'm surprised he's not trying to build a moat.
put some sharks with freaking lasers on their heads in thereI'm surprised he's not trying to build a moat.

It's just easier to make the entire white house the bunker instead of having to go down to the bunker. The tax payers will appreciate it.Alpha
Are they ill tempered?Mutated sea bass ok?put some sharks with freaking lasers on their heads in there
Speaking of Austin Powers...Trump seems to resemble the image Dr Evil paints of his father.Are they ill tempered?

Ok so he doesn't drink...

Especially poignant as he claimed yesterday to have been the one to give Mattis the Mad Dog nickname.
"There is this thing called a question mark. Nobody had ever heard of it before. The fake news media will not tell you about it."

are you telling me Trump lied again to try and not make himself look like a fool again?Breaking via WaPo:
Trump's ex-chief of staff John Kelly defends Jim Mattis.
"The president did not fire him. He did not ask for his resignation," Kelly said. "The president has clearly forgotten how it actually happened or is confused."

All to bash a well respected general because he dared be critical of Trump.are you telling me Trump lied again to try and not make himself look like a fool again?
I'm losing track, but I think John Kelly was added as a Never Trumper. Ignore all the previous praise from the right about him being proof that Trump can hire competent people.are you telling me Trump lied again to try and not make himself look like a fool again?
Wait, is this real??whoknew said:Probably the only thing Barack Obama and I have in common is that we both had the honor of firing Jim Mattis, the world’s most overrated General. I asked for his letter of resignation, & felt great about. His nickname was “Chaos”, which I didn’t like, & changed it to “Mad Dog”...
....His primary strength was not military, but rather personal public relations. I gave him a new life, things to do, and battles to win, but he seldom “brought home the bacon”. I didn’t like his “leadership” style or much else about him, and many others agree. Glad he is gone!
I shouldn’t be surprised. But I genuinely am. I seriously thought you just made it up as your guess to what he might say.No. He actually tweeted that last night.

Amazing.
Well, maybe this will cost him a significant chunk of the military vote.He followed it up an hour ago (also real) -
The problem with asking for someone to give you a letter of resignation, which you do as a courtesy to help them save face, is that it is then harder to say you fired them. I did fire James Mattis. He was no good for Obama, who fired him also, and was no good for me!
Mattis was praised nearly universally here as a great choice.Well, maybe this will cost him a significant chunk of the military vote.
I remember thinking his staffing of mattis was one of his best decisions bc it’s hard to not at least respect the guy. Now that Trump is attacking him maybe it’ll have real impact.
Many. But not all.Mattis was praised nearly universally here as a great choice.
And now many of the Trump republicans have turned on him.
And supported that same guy who said he never was a fan of a Vietnam veteran who was tortured in Vietnam for years and when offered an opportunity to be sent home said he wouldn’t unless all other US prisoners could go home with him. I quit trying to figure his supporters out several years ago.AAABatteries said:The whole Trump phenomenon is just so bizarre to me.

A good recap of Trump's response in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder, plus the quote of the day from the presser:This address has been and will be extra Chavez/Fidel-level rambling and long
It's like he is intentionally drumming up hate. He makes me want to set something on fire. George Floyd would be happy he's dead because the president called everyone a terrorist and didn't do anything about what happened. That's a mental folks...A good recap of Trump's response in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder, plus the quote of the day from the presser:
https://twitter.com/AhmedBaba_/status/1268922256077533185
After calling George Floyd protestors "THUGS," unleashing brutality on peaceful protestors in DC, and sharing John Dowd's letters calling those same peaceful protestors "terrorists," Trump claims George Floyd would be happy with the #JobsReport that shows black unemployment rose.

It's disgusting.That's burying the actual George Floyd quote:
"Hopefully, George is looking down right now in saying this is a great thing happening for our country. A great day for him, a great day for everybody."
Apparently its a great day for a dead person.
I was talking about this with my son yesterday. I do expect this to cost Trump votes from the military.Well, maybe this will cost him a significant chunk of the military vote.

zero capacity for empathy, compassion...no words.It's disgusting.
I don't disagree with that sentiment but i'm not sure it's ever going to e 60/40 again...Latest CNN poll shows 51% of registered voters nationwide back former Vice President Joe Biden, while 42% support President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential race.
That this isn't at least 60/40 says...Democrats need better candidates.
Okay, it says a lot more than that. But it says that too.
That's the other thing it says - our body politic is really encamped.I don't disagree with that sentiment but i'm not sure it's ever going to e 60/40 again...
Looks like I'm voting <null> again for President.That 42% of any group support Trump versus a toaster oven says more about that group than it does about Trump.
