Agreed. This is the kind of stuff demeaning to the office.

It’s what I hate most about Trump.

This. He is far too defensive on these trivial things, but I certainly get where it comes from.

And the reason that the Left is so vociferous and indignant re Trump's Tweets. He is single-handedly ripping the Left and the MSM to shreds. It's their own fault; they've been low-hanging fruit for anybody with the guts to take em' on for a long time. Rush has done it for decades. But from the Bully Pulpit...lethal!

Do you struggle identifying emotions? No wonder Errerrerrwere's insults hit the mark far better than your's; he at least doesn't just interpret everything as "rage."

Bingo. This is what a public castration looks like.
What's the retort, NT?

If you are closer to it, and you are calling all of the families you don't even know, wouldn't you be damn sure to call a guy you know fairly well?

The truth is always the truth. I honestly don't care if the end result paints Trump or Obama in a bad light - only that we hold both sides equally accountable to the same level of honesty.

Crazy premise, I know.

Trump wouldn't say what he has without knowing the truth from Kelly.


That's an interesting, if not strongly stable, statement.

Kelly isn't going to come out and make this a story himself. I think he has more respect for his son than that.


If he told Trump, either he is not terribly aware of how Trump would take such information, asked Trump to keep it to himself and expected him to adhere to it, or fully wanted it to become a story.

If your statement is true, I cannot think of a scenario that doesn't paint either himself or Trump in a negative light. I could, of course, be mistaken. That is why I was looking for additional information on the subject.

Is the backbone kernel to the business line of Windows Operating Systems, which in turn ended up replacing the old 16-bit kernel everyone knew from Windows 95/98/ME. The NT kernel was used in Win 2000, and then XP - and onward from there, allowing for 32 bit and then 64 bit architecture.

I'm not sure how it's relevant to all this, but there you go.

At this point I’m starting to think Trump is just testing his base to see what kind of classless and reprehensible shite he can say and they’ll still defend.

I would be really surprised if obama didn't offer condolences to Gen Kelly. Maybe he didn't call him, instead he did it in person.

Or maybe trump is making shite up. Probably that. this is the problem when you lie constantly, people think you lie constantly.

Telling people to ask a man about a phone call regarding his dead son in order to win a political gotcha is sad for America.

In this particular circumstance, the proverbial "cat let out of the bag" was let out by Trump, not General Kelly nor the media. It is hard to claim the moral high ground if you go around telling people how big of a shite stain someone else is and then reference events that no one is "allowed" to ask about.
