What do military vetrans, on this site, think about Trump's comments on the Medal of Honor

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Democrats have no idea the precedent they've set may well be used against them.

Then how loudly you'll complain!

Not much chance, though. Republicans only want to prosecute actual crimes.

That's got Democrats very nervous. And with good reason.

You pinned yourself yet again.

"... legal contortions performed in the city of New York to torture a guilty verdict out of a highly biased jury was a sham...."

-----------------------------------------------------
Too many MAGAloons hate today's America. They hate the judicial system.

For example, and poster 'justoffal' ain't alone....but I use him as an example: The conviction of Don Trump followed evidence & testimony presented to at least two grand juries,,,,,perhaps a total of 20 or more citizens. Those citizens handed down indictments against Don Trump.

As we all know, an indictment is a signal from the public that the investigative bodies — police, prosecutors, etc. — have enough evidence that the people feel comfortable charging a particular individual and bringing a criminal charge to trial.

And that's just the indictment phase, then comes the trial before a judge and jury. A jury, again of fellow citizens, who are summoned via a legal and vetted process using a strong element of randomness to ensure minimizing bias. And then they are filtered and vetted by competent voir dire from experienced and, in Trump's case, high priced legal representation. Again, with the intent to weed out bias.

THAT is the American legal system.

And too many MAGAloons hate America and they hate our judicial system so they will not accept the protocols and the decisions resulting from the American legal system.

Those MAGAloons are not American patriots.
They are anti-American.

imho

LOL nobody is actually nervous.

Then why are Democrats trying so hard to keep him from being elected? It's not like you give a shit about America or Americans.

I didn't disregard or dismiss this. I simply added more.

Trump's own chief of staff, a retired Marine General, confirmed that Trump called our soldiers who died on the shores of Normandy 'suckers and losers'. And MAGA vets didn't give the slightest shit.

Why would they care now?

No creature in any military trusts the idiot.

Billionaire Republican megadonor Miriam Adelson appears to have a blank check policy when it comes to her support of former President Donald Trump, as she aims to help get him back to the White House.

Adelson’s political aide Andy Abboud was overheard telling attendees at a campaign event at Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday that whatever the GOP presidential nominee needs from Adelson, he’s going to get in support from his boss, according to Abboud and a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

This person and one other in this story were granted anonymity in order to speak freely about private matters.

“We’re going to do whatever it takes for him to win,” Abboud said in a brief phone interview on Friday with CNBC, confirming those overheard comments. “In her [Adelson’s] mind, and in the minds of those who run the political action committee [Preserve America], we are going to do whatever it takes for him to win.”

She already bought herself the Medal of Freedom. What's her blank check going to buy her this time? One hopes it's a whole bunch of despair.

Odd how no witnesses to those comments ever came forth.

^^^ Snopes link. So you can't claim it's a Trump propaganda mouthpiece.

But you hate Trump, so it must be true, right?

 

[Kilroy2]

How's that working out for you? What do you believe I'm obligated to do, and why?

Did I ask you to do anything?

Trump comments are irrelevant and there is another thread with the same topic. Trump will say what he wants to say. Freedom of speech has to mean something.

The former president is standing by his take that the Presidential Medal of Freedom is better because it doesn't involve sacrifice

Indeed. Then why does the left hate it so?

How did all these thinned skinned 'veterans' who are whining about some civilian's comments ever get through basic training? Did they replace drill sergeants with teddy bears when nobody was looking?

Utterly despicable. Detestable words from a former commander in chief who’s seeking the job again.

Lots of veterans here make believe they like people who get captured, but I believe they believe more like Trump does.
