Retired airline pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger on Friday condemned President Trump’s reported comments on fallen U.S. service members, saying the commander in chief has “completely failed to uphold his oath.”

Sullenberger, an Air Force veteran who landed the famous "Miracle on the Hudson," wrote a thread following the bombshell report this week from The Atlantic accusing the president of disparaging dead military veterans as “losers” and “suckers.”

“For the first time in American history, a president has repeatedly shown utter and vulgar contempt and disrespect for those who have served and died serving our country,” the former pilot wrote. “While I am not surprised, I am disgusted by the current occupant of the Oval Office.”

Sullenberger argued that Trump has shown himself to be “completely unfit for and to have no respect for the office he holds.” …

A guy who was railroaded and deemed “guilty” by “the system” with unprovable “facts”, now goes out to do the same thing on the President of the United States. The guy has gone senile.

He is from the SF Bay Area so not surprised—but I hoped for better! Scott Adams yesterday listed 6 reasons why this is an obvious hoax. Beginning with the timing.

You have a very selective memory, Sully:

"I loathe the military" -- Bill Clinton

"At this point, what difference does it make?" -- Hillary Clinton

"Today we honor a Marine corpse man." -- Barack Obama

"All this for a damn flag." -- Michelle Obama

And those are for starters. You're a hero, Sully. Don't cheapen your status like this.

Go fornicate with yourself Sully. There is no adjective in any known language in the Universe that is vile enough, perverse enough, despicable enough, degenerate enough,derogatory enough, to describe you.

This is a clear attempt to go after Trump’s strengths. They package the lie with known Trump words like “loser” to make it sound legit.

More to come. They have been going after Trump’s physical shape via pictures showing him about to slip on some ice and other garbage.

They will attack his mental capabilities and try to make it look like Trump is suffering dementia not Biden.

They will turn everything upside down and the MSM will carry it.

Why? 1) plant seeds of doubt 2) get Trump to squander resources defending himself against this crap and waste time on defense instead of offense.

All of this is so predictable.

He was a very good pilot who probably would not have been as successful with that landing if not for his copilot. He didn’t do any of that alone. The copilot, for some reason was never really honored nor remembered. He’s another of those who believes that all of the sunshine they pumped up his ass about how great he is makes him an expert by himself. Either that or he’s being paid for his commentary.

Just how does he know? Reliance on anonymous witnesses who are contradicted by the likes of John Bolton, no fan of Trump? The next topic Sully will be addressing is “what goes on at those Hollywood parties” bc he watched a Beverly Hillbillies episode once where they discussed it.

Hey, Silly...er, Sully, how about having some respect for the truth and waiting for all of the facts to come out.

Texas born Sully spent too much time in the Bay Area (Danville). Celebrities, usually very gifted at their specialties, display their stupidity on subjects outside of their professions with a dazzling frequency.

Well, what do you want from the guy who said “This is not the America I know and love” two years ago.

I heard (unverified) Sully is a pedophile.

Some say (anonymously) that he rapes his own grandchildren.

Other anonymous sources verify this...
