As a Retired US Army paratrooper, pictures like these hit hard. Trump never had the courage to pick up a rifle and man a post when he was called to serve.
Yet he has the nerve to promote AI pictures like this showing him wearing things like Parachutist badges, and rows of ribbons he never had to courage to obtain. Anyone who has ever served should be pissed at garbage like this.
His father paid a doctor’s note so he wouldn't have to serve. But remember that for every one of the draft deferments, someone else had to go in his place.
A pure disgrace.
"President Trump demands Canada change its French language, Quebec culture and Canadian identity as a condition for reversing tariffs. This is no longer about a trade deal-it is about a takeover of Canada's sovereignty and identity."
🚨 BREAKING: Barack Obama has been named the most admired U.S. president in history, according to a CNN/SSRS poll.
Do you agree with this ranking? 🇺🇸
A) YES 👍
B) NO 👎
@lisa_remillard1 Humanity? Being a decent man, as opposed to an evil narcissistic psychopath interested only in using the presidency to amass unspeakable wealth and influence for himself? Will that do for starters?
We need missiles for Patriots, and only our partners can provide them. We ain’t talking about gifts. Ukraine is ready to buy the weapons we need. What matters is that decisions be made, first and foremost in the U.S. I am grateful to everyone who is helping Ukraine save lives.
My post, quoting things that the President of the United States has said to or about women, is being flagged by Space Baby for abuse. Let that sink in.
@TheRickWilson Rick, I’m in the UK & my interest (nay, obsession) w the US Trump calamity was initiated circa 10y ago by reading ETTD. Terrific.Then came podcasts, at which point my only go-to ones were yours (w Molly J-F) & Mea Culpa. So I’m crushed w dismay at MC’s ugly fall and volte-face.😓
Doris Miller had no gunnery training. He was a mess attendant — that’s all the Navy let Black sailors be in 1941. When the bombs hit Pearl Harbor, he ran toward the guns anyway, dragged wounded men to safety, and fought back until he ran out of ammo.
He was the first Black American ever awarded the Navy Cross.
Donald Trump got four draft deferments and a “bone spurs” diagnosis nobody can find a doctor’s name attributed to. He has never worn the uniform, never taken fire, never done a single thing that required courage. Ever.
The Navy named a future carrier after Miller in 2020 — first ever named for an enlisted sailor, first for a Black American. Now they’re reportedly considering stripping his name off it to put Trump’s on instead.
A coward’s name, on a hero’s ship. That should make everyone sick.
