tkhayes 348 #3 May 29, 2018 more distractions to the real damage done. Of course Trump tweets about how amazing he is.... you should be used to that by now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanG 1 #4 May 29, 2018 Whatever. If Trump tweeted that Jesus was a false savior, Russian communism is way of the future, and all marriages going forward would be gay marriages you'd find a way to agree with him. I'm happy that you've found a new savior that you can pledge unconditional loyalty to. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,523 #5 May 29, 2018 RonD1120As a veteran who voted for him, it made sense to me. For God and country. He's violated just about every commandment. He seems to only worship himself and money. Trump is a draft dodger. 'Cadet Bone Spurs' sure seems to be fine now. He's also sold out to both Russia and China. So much for 'freedom and democracy." But I'm not surprised you still support him."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

billvon 2,998 #9 May 29, 2018 He sent out two tweets. The first one used Memorial Day to toot his own horn and try to shore up his flagging support. It was about Trump, not about people who have died for this country. The second one used Memorial Day to sell stuff on his website. If that's what Memorial Day means to you, then we will have to agree to disagree on its meaning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,998 #13 May 29, 2018 RonD1120I referred to the original post. I do not follow Tweets at all. You posted a tweet - and it happened to be the one in which he used Memorial Day to tout his own accomplishments, and stroke his own ego. Again, if you think that's why Americans died defending this country, then we think very differently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonD1120 62 #14 May 29, 2018 DanGSo how do you feel about the second tweet, using Memorial Day to make a profit? Mixed feelings. How about skydiving or Bar-B-Queing and getting drunk on Memorial Day? The only way to truly observe the day is to attend a ceremony. After that, what matters? What about the way you people view and celebrate Easter?Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

billvon 2,998 #18 May 29, 2018 >I believe they fought for freedom to produce a secure country and a good if not robust economy. There ya go. I think Memorial Day is a day to remember the people who died defending this country's Constitution and core principles - freedom, a fair justice system and a representative system of government. You believe they died for good - if not excellent - sales numbers. We will agree to disagree. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanG 1 #19 May 29, 2018 QuoteMixed feelings. How about skydiving or Bar-B-Queing and getting drunk on Memorial Day? Individuals doing stuff like that is fine. The president and commander in chief using the sacrifice of fellow Americans to make a profit is abhorrent. I own a small business. I briefly considered a Memorial Day sale. And by briefly I mean it took me about two seconds to be disappointed in myself for even thinking about it. But then again I don't feel the need to look at everything with your What Would Trump Do glasses. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,523 #20 May 29, 2018 DanG ...The president and commander in chief using the sacrifice of fellow Americans to make a profit is abhorrent... And tell everyone what a great job he's doing. Don't forget that part.

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #22 May 29, 2018 DanGI agree that the tweet bragging about his accomplishments was inappropriate. The tweet hawking his Chinese made wares was beyond the pale. I fully agree. But the most disheartening part about it is how the Trumpettes, who claim to be 'patriotic Americans" don't care. A close second is that, among his many 'accomplishments', this is pretty minor."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

Faicon9493 141 #24 May 30, 2018 In his recent speech to the Naval Academy graduates, there is a two minute stretch where he fired off six lies. I can imagine what the Navy brass had to say behind closed doors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob_Church 7 #25 May 30, 2018 This is where Trump's assistants earn every penny they make. They're in a can't win situation. Anything he says is going to sound bad coming from him and his background. But not saying anything is going to be ever worse. Well, probably. But either way, I'd want a huge paycheck for that job, the sort that lets you resign at the end of his term and hide on some island paradise for the rest of your life.
