In a Senate-floor speech Saturday, Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) blasted President Trump as a “five-deferment draft dodger” and accused him of trying to bait North Korea into a war, putting both the military and the national security of the United States at risk.
It was a moment of fire for Duckworth, a veteran who lost both of her legs in 2004 while serving in the Iraq War, and who has advocated for military and disability issues since she was elected to national public office in 2012.
Duckworth said Saturday her speech was prompted by a tweet Trump had posted Saturday morning accusing Democrats of “holding our Military hostage” to have “unchecked illegal immigration.” The tweet was just one of many partisan attacks Trump launched over the weekend trying to blame Democrats for a congressional budget stalemate that had led to a shutdown of the federal government.
That Trump would accuse Democrats — like herself — of not caring about the military was galling, Duckworth said.

But she’s so great at feigning moral outrage while voting for that which is morally outrageous.
Seems more to me that NK is trying to bait US into a war.
By got, I was gonna use that one.
Joke thief!!
I would seek carnal knowledge of that one legged IHOP woman. I do not discriminate against the handicapped.
She’s pretty hot.
I’d spank that, film it and watch it again at 11...
You are a peach.
You should never discriminate against women.
American women.
They live in a 19th Amendment world and don’t need an 18th century caretaker....
You should discriminate against them to ensure they are all woman or in her her case, mostly woman...
or in her her case, mostly woman...
Second best laugh of the night.
How's the veal?
Oh, brother. . . first Durbin and now another Illinois legislator wants to be relevant.
“I guess the truth does hurt. Democrats do not care about the military and I think Duckworth is a deranged witch.”
She ran for at least two congressional seats — in two different districts — and couldn’t win, so she moved to yet another one and finally got elected. She only won her senate race because she was running against the reprehensible Mark Kirk — the very definition of RINO — who was even worse than Jeff Flake, John McCain, and Lindsay Graham combined.
The Rats started to tout her as presidential material because she hit the trifecta: Woman; ethnic minority; disabled.
I want to thank your son and son-in-law for their wonderful service to our country.
As a former democrat of 38 years (President Trump motivated me to switch parties so I could vote for him in my Maryland primary), I am extremely dismayed how the RATS don’t appreciate how vital it is to support our military!!!
I pray that President Trump will someday soon sign an actual Fiscal Year Budget that gives the Pentagon what it needs to restore our Military to tip-top shape!!!
Defense Secretary Mattis recent comments about how unprepared and incapable our forces are was quite alarming.
Again, thanks for sharing and I salute your son and son-in-law for their service!!!
Out for one last walk of the evening, morning, and then it’s off to bed.
Gotta be up in 4 hours.
Insomniac...
I’ve already skipped two nights of sleep and need a recharge
Manana...
Oh, veal.
I have my 3800 lumen light this time.
Punks...
Scared the hell out me when they charged past me earlier...
Give them punks what fer.
Just shone my light into the bushes across from the 13th hole and saw 3 pair of eyes, gently looking left and right
These lil fellers are really beautiful...
If I had been out here around 1130, I would see this little fix that is always here like clock work.
He is gorgeous and aboit 30 pounds. The size of a cocker spaniel.
Maybe tomorrow.
I love seeing him...
I want your life.
So.
Just turned to the left and found another set of eyes.
Must be a family reunion....
So pretty out here and the clouds have left, leaving a gorgeous view of the the constellation.
You can clearly see the dippers.
Luv it...
Need to go for one of my infamous hikes, where I walk off into the woods for a few days, to listen to God and take inn the wonders of his creations, while be talks to me...
Those eyes are having a meeting about you. They are planning how to take you out. Tonight was a dry run. They gauged your reaction. Expect the big push any day now.
Beware nature's wrath, my friend.
And stay clear the moors.
Wow
Another group of three just galloped off.
Fantastic night and tomorrow must be getting ready for awesomeness...
God is great...
