The problem is, the environment is so toxic, who will be willing to take the arrows that will come from working for Trump. We’re talking going after those peoples’ families.

Are you willing to give up your cushy life to go work for Trump?

[llmc1]

How many people have to say what Trump does before you’re willing to believe them? We know Trump said McCain was a loser for being a P.O.W. Many people around Trump say he says the same disrespectful garbage when not on camera. Why believe Trump (a known self-absorbed liar) over all these other people? Sessions was about as decent and honorable as one can get, but if he said anything negative about Trump, suddenly he couldn’t be trusted. Why can’t his followers accept that this is what Trump is?

Just because someone parades around in a uniform shouldn't give them any cred. While McCain was singing like a canary to the VC, President Trump was fighting his personal VietNam as a Captain of Enterprise. And I guarantee he handled far more Assets at the time than any of those losers.

Oh please. "Personal Vietnam as a Captain of Enterprise"?

Like it or not, Ppesident Trump avoided the draft and declined to serve. His choice, but he can be evaluated on that choice. It speaks to character.

Well, for one too many lies have been said about Trump ( Russian Collusion, Ukraine and the first impeachment, he fomented an insurrection on January 6, etc. ). I’ll believe that it was Trump who said X if I see or hear him say X on video or audio but not until.

Anything else is disputable.

RE: Sessions was about as decent and honorable as one can get, but if he said anything negative about Trump, suddenly he couldn’t be trusted

Jeff Sessions might be a decent man, but he, through his timidity and inaction, unleashed a 3 year “Russian Collusion” fraud on the nation, costing tens of millions of dollars for nothing.

Absolutely agree with your synopsis.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

The original claims about Trump’s comments came from an article in The Atlantic that said the former president refused to visit a World War I memorial in France when he made the comments.

No. That's why if Trump wins his second term. He'll be a lame duck immediately.

[dfwgator]

And that my friends, is why we will never vote our way out of this mess.

Thanks, A Navy Vet. I’m retired Navy myself. 24 years NavAir.

[A Navy Vet]

I also was NavAir most of my 11 years. Planned on at least 20 but life and family and a great civilian job opportunity convinced me to discharge. Plus my rating was closing up and CPO was looking more distant. I discharged as E-6. "I was an ABF on the flight deck most of those years. May I ask what your rating was? What years years were you in? I was 1975-1986.

I was able to get Rota, Spain when I re-enlisted for my shore duty rotation. Interesting times, experience, and no months at sea...ha. I would do it all again if it were the same Navy I served. Fair Seas, shipmate.

Apologies for the delayed response. I haven’t been on this site for a while. Busy with life. I enlisted in 1978. I Enlisted as an AT. Retired as a Mustang as an LT. Got a degree in Electrical Engineering during my time in. Took many years to accomplish as life in the military is not conducive to spending 4 years in a college classroom.
Retired now. I live in Florida in a retirement community called The Villages. Fantastic place.
Though the summer is brutal. Heat and humidity are off the charts. But, if you don’t hide from it you do get used to it.
