Kelly isnt just an enabler of Trump. He's a believer in him. That makes him as odious as the rest. Dont be distracted by the uniform.

younger like a lot of people. The abuse of women goes back well before Harvey Weinstein.

There have been persecutions and injustices carried out in the name of religion since mankind existed.

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.

The black family is broken...

You might want to rethink your points I understand what you're saying mankind has always sinned and there's nothing new Under the Sun but we're definitely going down a progressive negative Direction in this country

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.

Trump asked Kelly.

Kelly suggested not to call for the reason being that it's a difficult call to make. Not because it would be seen as insensitive, rude, etc.

Meh. He is glossing over details from when he was younger like a lot of people. The abuse of women goes back well before Harvey Weinstein. There have been persecutions and injustices carried out in the name of religion since mankind existed. 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.

Wait, wait, hold up... So you are saying these BASIC common ground morale standards...are old fashioned and obselete because the democratic party says so?

I can actually agree with everything you said. It is my biggest issue with President Trump. He cannot let even the most minor of slights go. He feels compelled to respond.

quote:

I never took issue with what trump said. I took issue for him not ignoring the Congress cowgirl and taking the higher road. Act like the god damn president instead of responding to every single perceived slight. Particularly when talking about fallen members of the military. Just once I’d like to see trump not shoot himself in the foot

---

Unusually not rabid. I like it.

I agree. He should have sent out a surrogate assassin to deal with Cowpie Wilson. He doesn't need to be the attacker every time.

Don't get me wrong, she deserved attacked. He just didn't need to be the one doing it this time.

Hopefully, he'll change tactics a bit but I know that's going to be tough.

It’s pretty frustrating. I didn’t want him to be the president but damn I keep hoping he will lead and govern. I will Kelly would grab his phone and smash it

She certainly deserved as much ridicule as the right can pile on her. But trump has people who can do that. He needs to stop taking everything personal. It’s why he can’t get his agenda moving. He spends too much time with this bs

This simply should NOT be happening...

This family paid the ultimate sacrifice for this nation and now they are in the middle of a media storm that will not end, all because of the perceived need to score political points and create a gotcha moment...

No one is prepared to write that letter, make that phone call or make that personal visit... It does not matter how many times you do it, it will be received differently by each family... Some will hate you for the rest of your life because YOU are to blame, at least in their eyes, for the loss of their loved one...

As POTUS, Trump shares that blame... It is on him and I do not care the POTUS, I do not believe any of them have ever taken the loss of a service member's life lightly... Especially, one killed in combat action under your watch... As little as I thought of Obama, I always knew he had the burden of command in this situation...

This country, as a whole, really needs to evaluate where we currently stand, when the death of a service member is utilized as a political football... God help us all...

I agree with you on this one only because the basis of the issue is a fallen soldier.

But here is the deal. I would rather him defend himself over a conversation about a fallen soldier than not. I only think it is right that he defends himself when a person like Wilson took it in the direction she did. Otherwise the media will keep spinning the narrative the way they want it to go. Everybody with a brain knows Trump is pro military so why let the media spin it like he isn't. I guess we would all rather everybody think he is a dolt like "W" and never defended himself. This president isn't going to let anyone walk all over him.
