Having grown accustomed to your usual well thought out and carefully measured responses, I was somewhat thrown back by this one.

And then I laughed and laughed.

I understand the point and when it got to gold star families and the like it made sense, but we really need to stop with the "life was awesome" nonsense.


There are many things from that time that should be revived

That's 90% of the liberal problem. Dumb assess want to throw the baby out with the bath water.

I meant talking it out with the widow, not the congresswoman. My fault, I wasn't very clear on that

Quit trying to pick Trump's brain on what his intention was with the phone cal


It took all of 2 seconds to realize the dumbass didn’t follow the advice of the father of a fallen soldier. A father whom he seeked the advice of.

Sorry if it takes Trumpkins most of the day to do what most do in seconds. That’s a you problem.

And if Trump hadn't made the call then the media would have been all up in his face about having no compassion and that would be the lie you would be running with this morning.

You are a person of no conviction, just conjecture.

do believe Trump was taken out of contest to one extent or another, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he said some of the wrong things and came off as insensitive. Consoling the family in this situation is already a hard thing to do (and Trump already seems to be lacking that empathy gene or something)but. a president should be able to pull it off.
He should have talked it out with her (the widow) even after the allegations instead of going into full attack mode. I mean, he wants to be about patriotism, this would have been a good time to take the high road but he just doesn't seem capable of doing that in any circumstance. You have to be the bigger man sometimes.

I agree with all of this. That is why general Kelly advised him not to call.

With the divisiveness of our country, and each side hell bent on saying "we won". Each side looks for ways to be offended and/or make the other side look bad.

This is typical political BS. When BHO was selling the US down the road giving countries like Iran nuclear capability, he was an absolute shite bag. When George W was signing stupid arse legislation in, like No child left behind....he too was a shite bag.

Anyone that has been in charge of a group of more than 2 or 3 people realizes that it impossible to please everybody. My hope is that whomever is in the oval office does what is fair and truly best for the country. That may not be the most popular thing, but if it is for the overall good of the country, then I'm for it. While The Donald has done some stupid arse crap in office, he does appear to love this country and try honor the men and women who serve it. I also believe because he was elected under the (R) ticket, that the media has him under a microscope and will inflate anything he does to make him look bad. Case in point, Sheriff Bart's wife picking up the mantle on this latest instance where POTUS called to offer condolences for a fallen soldier.

Let us not forget that 41% of Congress is made up of lawyers. That is nothing but straight up grandstanding.

The most sensible post I have seen in the past two days on this topic.

Proud to associate myself with your remarks.

no. You're projecting. The general advising not to call because that would be the advice I would give to any president

Just like the famous situation where the mother yelled at George Bush the reality is there is no consoling a grieving mother. And whether you like it or not when you're president you are going to be perceived by that grieving mother as the person who sent their child to their death.

It's also why the commanders of the soldiers would be advised not to call. It just creates a tough situation although many Commanders probably would love to call and express sorrow to the family

You liberals really need to get out of being ate up with fricking hate long enough to use your brains.

false and a lie. You were agreeing with the idea that advice to not call was due to it being Trump.

The advice would have been given to any president therefore you are incorrect

Wrong. And a lie. Kelly gave his reasons and I heard them. And I believed them. You are projecting your hate onto anyone who is not a Trumpkin. The reasons were exactly as you had typed

I reread the comments you agreed with and recognize that I read them incorrectly the first time. Hence I stand corrected. You were not in this thread at least asserting that General Kelly was concerned about Trump specifically

Really getting tired of this fantasticlly disingenuous argument.

As if you and the rest of your blood-lusting ilk would not then have stitched a narrative out of whole cloth about how inept and unfeeling your President was for not calling the families...
