I take it to mean "it doesn't hurt any less when they're killed even when they know the risks."

The bigger thing is this: it is, as of now, not an actual quote. A democratic politician claims it is what she heard.

Why are we just going to take her word for it?

No, I think he cares but lacks empathy for others. I am ok with it because frick the snowflakes, but it definitely causes some cringeworthy moments.

Can't say I disagree. People seem to think volunteering in the army is some kind of joke. There is always potential for a war and imminent death. Want to eliminate your chance of dying? Don't join. Plain and simple.

Indefensible.


There is absolutely nothing wrong with noting that this serviceman was aware of the duties he would have to carry out and the dangers associated with those duties.

It's a testament to this man's honor and courage that he took on this task while being aware of what he could sacrifice.

Frederica Wilson is simply trying to make it political and anti-Trump and hoping there are idiots out there without the ability to see her foolishness for what it is.

Trump said nothing inappropriate or insensitive.

Yeah, it's an inane, unhelpful observation, but it's the best to be expected of a man wholly lacking any semblance of empathy.

When people post stupid stuff like this, it makes others less likely to believe them when there's a legitimate complaint about Trump.

And unless this Congresswoman is as stupid as Maxine Waters-which is always a possiblity, she knows exactly what Trump meant, and is just adding to the widow's grief.

Brought to you by the same people who believe and insist Trump mocked a disability.

It's equivalent to saying "death is a part of war, but it is still a tragedy".

Do you honestly think trump was trying to be a dick to his wife? Really? It's an out of context quote.

But is just a big old frick you in my opinion. Not just here, but everywhere.

Go about life without saying but, or its college cousin - however.

Instead, either outright agree or disagree.

Hey Rob, I'm not trying to brag at all, but I know you are a reagan fan so I think you'd find this interesting:

I was able to visit his private ranch (rancho del cielo) up in the mountains above santa barbara late last week. It is owned and operated by YAF (young america's foundation), which I am somewhat involved in. You can only go up there on private tours with private guides and its pretty inaccessible to the general public. It was my second time up there.

It was incredible. Everything is as it was when he owned it. His bookcase with all his books, his bed, the clothes in the closet. The actual ranch house is so small and simple, you'd never think it was a president's. His tools were still in the workshop. It was an amazing experience. I got to visit the secret service bunker that was built about 1000 yards up the hill from his ranch.

The groundskeeper was once the secret service guy who reagan used to ride horses with up there. I got teary eyed when he told me of the last time reagan tried to ride his horse, when the alzheimers was getting pretty bad. He was the one who had to break it to the president that it just wasn't possible anymore to ride.

That's because you are a fricking pussy,the rest of your post spells it out.

I should probably also tell you this: When I was 16, my Dad was kidnapped robbed and murdered.
Missing for days while we went nuts.In spite of our searches,His body was found by accident,by some duck hunters.

The best and worst thing that they told me "your Dad had a family photo opened in his wallet" That's the last thing he was looking at.

What do you think that did to me? Did it help me or hurt me?

That is fricking awesome!



I use to work with his son Michael 30 years ago when he did talk radio....he use to tell some great stories about Reagan...probably why I love him so much.
