My Veteran husband just keeps mumbling around the house: "A God Damn DRAFT DODGER and they're gonna let 'em start a ground war." He is soooo... angry at this shit.!!

Linda Wilson-Gordon's avatar

Please let him know that we ALL are so angry at this shit!

Trump doesn’t give a shit what anybody else thinks especially the people he is screwing the most, the American people.

Trump is just a symptom of a very evil government known as the American government and if you don’t know what the American government is maybe somebody can explain to you that the American government are the billionaires and the corporations.

Americans better wise up and stop thinking of themselves as citizens because we’re not citizens. We are taxpayers and consumers. Donald Trump is king and we are his subjects.

If you think this government is going to magically reform itself and becomes something respectable, Trump has some swamp land in Florida he’d like to try to sell you.

Trump is only for Trump and Trump's fucking Family, why is Jarad sitting in on Top Secret meeting @the White House? During Trump's first term, Jared could not get a top-secret clearance.

ramonaj's avatar

Still probably doesn't. He waltzed right into the Knick game as well. Makes me sick. Entitled , spoiled, snarky weird ghoul. He is weird. And corrupt. They all are.

Hound's avatar

A lot of commentators say that Trump is humiliated by the boos And the lawsuits and everything else but he’s not human because in order to be humiliated you have to have humility and humanity and he has neither. People have tolerated Trump and other people like him. It’d be like tolerating a mosquito or a scorpion. There’s only one way to deal with a mosquito or a scorpion.

Marie Herzer's avatar

I agree, it all boils down to common sense and what you see happening!

Annette Evangelisti's avatar

It has to be absolutely galling as a veteran to see this moron mucking up every single thing he touches.

Jean Conley's avatar

My husband is retired military. He doesn't say too much (about anything!) but everything the warmonger Dictator has done as far as "wars" goes, he's said a lot more than ever about this Moron's actions. So, yes, it is galling and an insult to all who serve. I can't imagine going to fight just because there's an a**h**e in the Oval Office ordering you to go to fight HIS useless and uncalled for war.

Rob Jonas's avatar

My grandson had ideas about joining the U.S. navy. I am a retired military, with 21 years of total US military service. I told my grandson in no uncertain terms that I WOULD NOT and CANNOT support him joining the U.S. military, until the megalomaniac called t/rump is gone. So far he has listened to me and I pray he stays out of the service until the t/rump regime is gone. My grandson wanted me to administer the oath of enlistment to him. I told him that WILL NOT happen if he decides to join the military during the reign of the Orange menace. I meant what I said and I said what I meant.

Annette Evangelisti's avatar

I think uour grandson was given sound advise from you. Hopefully he takes to heart what you said. God Bless America. Peace.

Jean's avatar

We live near a high school, and an Asian girl told me she was planning to sign up. I told her they don't want her and there's no future for her because she's Asian and female. I'm hoping she's changed her mind.

Jean Conley's avatar

You got it! I know you won't nag, but remind her of that often. You are absolutely right.

Jean's avatar

She stopped coming by right after our conversation. I don't know whether I'll find out what she decides to do, but I don't regret speaking out.

Susan Troy's avatar

I'm with you on that, and I'm glad people with military experience are fighting back against Agent Orange. We need to stand up together for our country against the Billionaire Goon Squad. This is their war. Let them up their own damn boots on the ground.

Jean Conley's avatar

I believe your grandson is smart and will NOT join the navy UNTIL the Draft-dodging numbskull is out of office. Dump is not worth fighting for. He really believes that the entire military supports him (and will FIGHT FOR HIM) and his idiocy--just like he's too stupid to believe that the majority of us in this country don't.

ramonaj's avatar

I'm so glad that most of the family I had that served, are no longer here to see the assault on the sacrifices they made for America.

Stomped on by criminals and thugs.

Embarrassing.

Annette Evangelisti's avatar

Very true. My father passed at 87 but during Trump's first term my dad would ask me if Trump was dead yet, when he woke up first thing in the morning. Than God my father isn't here to see this desecration of our country.

ramonaj's avatar

All my uncles, both our fathers, two brothers, cousins . Male and female . Would be 87 and more. A few, too young but no the less, being spared this insult. May all veterans no longer with us Rest in Peace. 🥺

Karen Echols's avatar

My dad was extremely proud to have served his country. He talked to me at times about what he did there and what it was like, but he didn’t talk about it much with other people. He did talk about one thing that has stuck with me. He came home from Europe by ship. They actually pulled into port in NYC on Christmas Day. He described getting close on that day and seeing the Statue of Liberty. He would sometimes tear up talking about seeing that just coming home from service and honored he was to have served. I remember, not too long ago, sitting at his graveside, flag draped over his coffin, and the 21 gun salute and Taps. I felt humble yet so very honored for my dad to have earned that service!

I miss my dad every day; but I’m so grateful he isn’t seeing what’s happening! Like those of you here with husbands who are retired veterans, it would have just gutted him!

My heart goes out to each of you who have served or have family who are veterans. I’m so sorry you have to witness what this evil monster is doing for the country you served!!!

Robin D's avatar

Incredible. I have a similar story. My dad was based in England in the 8th AF '44 and released Jan '45. 2nd to last mission was the Battle of the Bulge (over Xmas). My Dad died 10 years before the internet. When I got my PC in the late 1990s I only had some pictures and some medals and something from Gowen Field in Idaho. It took me years to learn what it was I was even looking for...I knew nothing. Finding my Dad's base was a godsend, it is now a small museum and I had been in contact with the archivist/historian there for several years during my research and he helped me a lot. I had forgotten my older sister remembered my dad telling her when she was young (he rarely talked about the war) that when he sailed home into New York Harbor and saw the Statue of Liberty, he broke down and cried. 😭 I was surprised his base had no record of how he got home, so the archivist and I went back to ancestry dot com and there was a record from from a ship in 1945 I had seen so many times over the years, but my dad's first name was misspelled so I never clicked on it, plus back then, the date of 1945 wouldn't have meant anything to me. It was the record (and manifest) with 5 members of his crew too. Everything was secret then. The name of the ship.was not listed correctly (or was faked) but they sailed home on the Queen Mary that was converted for wartime use. He would have been utterly distraught to.see what has happened to us. He would have been 105 next month if he lived. He was a young guy like most were in WWII. He saw so many friends blown out of the sky and die...for this??? I am."glad" at least when all of the older generations passed, they thought their children and grandchildren and family were safe and the world was "okay". I don't feel this at all. I am sickened for the world my family kids have to inherit.

ramonaj's avatar

I have ever less info. My dad never talked about the war . WW 2 . I know he drove a tank. And was drafted in. 1944 or 45. Was in Germany. Have a few photos. I dont even know how I would begin to find out what he went thru.

Susan Troy's avatar

Embarrassing, lawless, witless, and completely unnecessary. We have to win this war against Agent Orange without firing a shot.

Karen K. Cobeen's avatar

Members of every generation of my family back to the beginning has fought and/or died in every US War. I know they are turning over in their graves !!!!

Jean Conley's avatar

Amen to that......

Skitealwedrop's avatar

To the expense of 1 Billion a day.

Katrina Nuciforo's avatar

More than that For context, here is a partial tally of U.S. aircraft losses in this war between February 28 and June 8: one F-35 (82.5 million), three F-15Es (120 million), one A-10 (18.8 million), one AH-64 Apache (52 million), one E-3 Sentry AWACS (valued at roughly $700 million), multiple KC-135 tankers (62.2 million EACH), 28 MQ-9 Reapers (952 million), one MQ-4C Triton (240 million), two MC-130Js (228.4 million), several helicopters (???), and more (???).

So, on just the math (given in 2020 dollars - the latest figures available to the public) we've lost over 2.46 BILLION in aircraft alone. This does not include tge crews of these aircrafts, the fuel spent to get them to their targets (or rather to BE targets), the daily maintenance costs or the costs to morale when their comrades find out they were lost.

We, as a nation, can not afford to continue this. The human cost alone is too high, regardless of the billions of dollars we've spent.

I will close this with a quote from a President who said this during his acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize (NOT a fake FIFA prize)...

"We will not learn to live together in peace by killing each other's children."

-Jimmy Carter

Jean Conley's avatar

Katrina--I seem to remember that Jimmy Carter didn't end up being that popular but boy, was he absolutely right. We sure could use him now.

Susan Troy's avatar

I have a similar husband who doesn't say much except that we're both on the same page, and he doesn't want to talk about it at the end of the day. But sometimes I overhear him talking during the day, and he has a great deal to say about Agent Orange and his minions.

R Nelson's avatar

Given Turnip's open contempt of people who serve in the military, calling them losers and suckers and asking "what's in it for them," it's hard to understand why so many enlisted admire that draft-dodging grandson of a draft-dodger, until you remember that Fox is on the screens 24/7 at every post and base.

Annette Evangelisti's avatar

So sadly misinformed about many things. Hard to develop critical thinking skills when you stick to repeating "fake news" as a go to response.

Timothy Richley's avatar

IDK if VA hospitals and clinics and PX snack bars have gone back to Fox but I remember when they were all changed to HGTV around 2010 because it was leading to some pretty loud arguments instead of people calming down in waiting rooms BPs were getting high and people were getting very upset

Ann Marie's avatar

And he and kegsbreath would gladly sacrifice them in a ground attack.

Susan Troy's avatar

That is truly frightening and sickening at the same time.

Madannie's avatar

he's not alone, A F'ing imbecile maga and his criminal cabal ALSO NEED TO BE held accountable for the hideousness happening now!

C Bowlby's avatar

Me too! djt may have set a record on this

Multiple cowardly lying

DRAFT DODGING!

Sophia's avatar

Please thank him for his service, I appreciate it so much and tell him we are also angry at this incompetent draft dodger’s shit!!!

Mia C's avatar

......not to mention the fact that he started this to change the narrative and deflect from the Epstein files! He can't even decide if he should call it a war or not.

Richard Waddell's avatar

Every aspect of this administration's choices is directly tied

to their desire to hide and run from The Epstein Files, period.

Who voted for the war in Iran? Nobody, so it is a criminal act

from the outset.

Susan Troy's avatar

Well, as the sign read at one of the protests, "Elect a rapist and expect to get F---ed."

Richard Waddell's avatar

There you go again, being logical.

Susan Troy's avatar

Can't help it. It's in my DNA.

William Farrar's avatar

I am a retired special ops officer, a mustang at that, not only am I pissed that we are being commanded (not led) by a cowardly, corrupt, incompetent, and childish man,but his Sec of "War" is a disgrace, a failed O-4, in the Reserve and National guard, 19 years, if he had served one more year he could have retired, it is obvious that he was incompetent and passed over for promotion to Lt Col O-5) and forced out, that is why he didn't retire.

Susan Troy's avatar

As he should be. It's always those who never served who get us into stupid, senseless, forever wars.

Steven Rosenzweig's avatar

Keep reporting, Ben. We are reading.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Oh, I love the Musk inflatable with the "man boobs" and all 😂👏

JohnC-Va's avatar

And the ❤️Ketamine tattoo on the left arm! This is perfect.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

LMAO!!! I didn't notice that! I'll have to go back and have a look again. That's hilarious! 🤣

R Nelson's avatar

You'd think a trillion dollars could fix that...

Jean Conley's avatar

These comments just keep on getting better and better!!!!!!!

Karen Echols's avatar

Jean, I’ve started reading the comments here every day. It feels like a comforting comraderie!

Jean Conley's avatar

Yes, Karen, and it really is comforting instead of getting all this depressing "news" on the TV about the Dimwit in the Oval Office. It has really helped me feel--well--guess I should put it--less alone? Brian especially always cheers me up! His countdowns are great and most of the time, make me laugh!

ramonaj's avatar

Is there such a thing as a MOOB JOB?

Skitealwedrop's avatar

🤣 OMG! y’all are so bad

Jean Conley's avatar

Yes, but fun and great medicine for all of us!

ramonaj's avatar

Love to laugh. With all of you. At them.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

It really is. We all need a good laugh these days 😎

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Oh that's funny, now!! 🤣🤣

Skitealwedrop's avatar

NYC is the only place you can get away with such a hilarious spectacle of Musk. I freaking love it! 😊

ramonaj's avatar

You could put JUNIORS head on that. He got moobs!

Jean Conley's avatar

Now THAT'S funny! Thanks for the laugh!

ramonaj's avatar

My pleasure . 🤣🤣

Jean Conley's avatar

Me, too, Joanne! Great laugh of the day. (Of course, there's probably more to come!!!)

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

It'll be hard to top that one! Pun intended! 🤣

ramonaj's avatar

I have spit my ice tea all over myself. Hilarious 😂 😃 😄 love ya all.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I made sure I'm not drinking anything 😜

Skitealwedrop's avatar

I got a big chuckle out of that. What do you think? A “C Cup” maybe? 😎

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I agree with Jean. "D Cup" 🤣

Skitealwedrop's avatar

I wouldn’t flatter that asshole by saying he’s a “D cup”.

Jean Conley's avatar

Giggle, giggle, giggle! No way! It would have to be a "D"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I think it's a "D Cup" as well. 🤣

Jean Conley's avatar

I don't think there's an "E" cup, but if there was.........well.......you know!!!!!

Skitealwedrop's avatar

🤣 I’ve got an excellent bra shop if he needs one. It’s a little pricey but it happens to be in Austin TX. Close to his house. He looks like he could use a fitting.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Yes, he needs an uplift for sure 🤣

ramonaj's avatar

Remember that bra commercial.." lift and separate "

Jean Conley's avatar

Giggle, giggle, giggle! But hey--could they actually be SEPARATED? He's still working on them, you know!!!!!

Skitealwedrop's avatar

Yes. It’s the cross your heart bra. Playtex 🤣

Nickie Morgan's avatar

Too bad the nipples weren’t all enlarged and inflamed - tRump and he being such close bros.

Jean Conley's avatar

Spelled your name wrong below, Nickie. Oh--I just realize that the stupid "spell check" corrected me!!!!! I happened to catch this one!

Jean Conley's avatar

We all are having a field day with this one!!!!!! Love it, Nice!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

LOL!!! Trump would be all over his nipples!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

The Trump regime has really underestimated the power of Iran. They think they are primitive and riding around on camels 🐪

Suel J's avatar

Lol not. The country is better educated than we are.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Absolutely, without a doubt. Very intelligent people indeed!

Barb O's avatar

American "exceptionalism." Too many never gave up on that concept. Which is why we are here.

ramonaj's avatar

I can't believe he is in the job he has , and had NO IDEA about our history with Iran. Incompetent leadership and advisors who are worse.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

It's crazy, isn't it? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Heather Barr's avatar

If you think we could win a ground war…. Look at a topo map of Iran

Gotta celebrate Iran blowing up that disgusting D...bagDoge's stuff😂

Suel J's avatar

This did bring me some joy. About time his shit is targeted

Pam Birkenfeld's avatar

Except we bought it so it was paid for with our money. So much for that!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Don't believe it. I see another market manipulation on the horizon.

ramonaj's avatar

He will keep on doing it until someone one tells him NO, in whatever language he will understand.

Carole Langston's avatar

Boots on the ground again. K Island. More market shit or he just rinses and repeats.

If only Musk or any of those DOSE Douches are on location, have at it Iran. If any are AI Data Centers, level them.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Looking forward to Iran taking out Starlink and SpaceX shit!! Whoo Hoo!

Pam Birkenfeld's avatar

Unfortunately Ukraine depends on Starlink for info on the war there.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

That's right, Pam. I had forgotten about that.

Mike Hammer's avatar

There are currently no US armed forces on the ground in Iran.

Carole Langston's avatar

I know.

He's waffling his predictable blather about it again.

I did post, rinse and repeat.

Someone needs to incapacitate Trump and do damage control. By that, I mean someone who actually gives a s**t about Americans and the U.S.

Annette Evangelisti's avatar

How hard could it possibly be? I have some fool-proof ideas.

dh's avatar

Three burritos and the truth. His bowels and his brain would explode.

R Nelson's avatar

Please, no bowel explosions. At least one widely viewed video out there shows Turnip having an intestinal event in the presence of press and staff. In this one, the press is rushed out and the folks standing behind Turnip are seen reacting to a bad smell, holding their breath, and trying to contain guffaws.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fi_PcYSs9A

R Nelson's avatar

Not that there's anything "wrong" with incontinence or wearing diapers. Apparently many adults are in that boat, because of various medical conditions. The problem in Turnip's case is his infernal lying. He claims to have excellent health, gonna live to be 200, aced the cognitive tests, just put on a little weight, that's all. Meanwhile, we see the reality with our own eyes.

JohnC-Va's avatar

“The pattern here is obvious: Trump is rattled.”

Great. What could go wrong , when a senile old diaper-wearing moronic idiotic lunatic with his greasy finger on the nuclear button gets rattled? So far the military is complicit in his war crimes, despite Senator Kelly and others warning them months ago, but someone had better be ready to prevent this, because if they think he won’t do it, they’re sadly and deathly mistaken. He will. He’s out of his fucking mind.

ramonaj's avatar

Agree 100 JohnC. There are ways to stop all of this very quickly. One would be Congress needs to do it's job. Spineless, twisted, greedy little scum bags. All of them that are guilty of wanting this.

The other... more of this BS and we all , probably, die.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

He's a deranged dumb fuck.

dh's avatar

Yeah, what could go wrong? I've seen the Animaniacs, what could happen with Wackko Yackko and Dot in the room.

Geri Cochran's avatar

Oh no, not another epstein island for the uber wealthy. smdh

Alan Mikuni's avatar

I wonder if there's a growing demand in the speculation betting arena for Trump's threats to take some sort of action, then to, predictably, back-off, or change his mind. I guess that would be a sure-thing bet, per "T.A.C.O."

Mike Hammer's avatar

From the murders or war crimes of the “narcoterrorist” boats to the worst imaginable Iran warplans I’d say there’s going to be some reckoning for any and all involved. We won’t forget even though that’s their game.

The 8647 goes to a guy on Utube. I asked if I could use it last year and spread it like rancid orange hair dye on every chat I could. He came up with it and I spread it like fleas in a shag carpet. I will thank him for you.
