This one is from VoteVets, and is about an article that appeared yesterday in The Atlantic that you’ve probably seen: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/
It is damning. Damning for a human being, let alone a president.
The White House chief disinformation officer is of course calling it fake news:
Which I’ve started using as a sort of shortcut to confirm stories. Did they wheel out the press secretary to deny it? Yes, then it’s true. Life hack.
But mostly it rings true because of everything else we know and have seen him do. To believe Trump doesn’t think and say these things about the military would be to believe in a vast, all encompassing conspiracy which *includes Donald Trump*, who is sinisterly pulling the strings in front of the scenes to make himself do and say shitty things.

I didn’t expect to cry at that ad. I’m so glad my brother made it home from two tours each in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was 18 when he joined
Skipadedodah
Still don’t know he got elected after making fun of someone’s disabilities. I am constantly shocked at how his supported keep defending him.
Merky600
“He knew what he was getting into.” Trump to soldier’s widow about her husband’s sacrifice. Remember that?
Brutsarge
Yep
chufly
Even Fox News is confirming the story now.
AnythingMuchShorter
From looking at facebook, trumpers are stoutly in the "he didn't actually say that" phase.
AntennaDibb
even though he literally did god our country is full of fucking clowns
Nivvi
McEnemy is such a evil pos.
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
Staff Sargent Cody Legg was not a loser. Fuck that prick. Ill go to jail for cold clocking him if I ever see him.
Sakkura
#3 remind me again, what did Donald Trump say, in public, about John McCain's military service?
DarkSock
I am 100% on board with this man:
erikleorga
Hoo boy. He hit that nail with a single swing.
DanteLidge
A guy who for our of the army with a literal doctor's note is calling victims of wars he most likely profits from "losers" if this guy 1/2
DanteLidge
, tits piece of shit! Wins again, the US is irredeemable, please, if you live there, move out if you're able to
YourNeighborhoodLesbian
I think we need an under cover boss episode of Trump going through a day of bootcamp
TheGhostofElizabethShue
“Private Dawson, anyone ever tell you you bear an uncanny resemblance to the 74 year old 45th President of the United States?”
Falkornn
How about just a day of not being the most privileged man on the planet. Dude thinks you need photo ID to buy fukin breakfast cereal.
Falkornn
And his brain dead zombie worshipers think he stands for the little guy. It's like I'm taking crazy pills.
DaveSamsonite
Who would you trust, the worlds most famous pathological liar or four people with first-hand knowledge that all agree and were shocked by it
BosunMark
Trump Supporters. Vote for yourself. Trump respects no one who does anything for others. Write in yourself. It's what he would do.
Lorithias
I still can't understand how he can go that deep, every time I'm like "ok that was the bottom" but still he finds a way to dig more.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
There is no bottom. With ~5 months (at least) to go it’s going to get very very shitty.
ElevenAndCounting
My cousin was not a god damn fucking loser. He was brave and amazing and someone better hold me the fuck back cause I'm about to lose it.
ElevenAndCounting
He was only 21... my ex fiance who killed himself from ptsd from being in the war was not a loser he was haunted from thing trump will never
ElevenAndCounting
Understand. He was only 30. I dont know what to say... voting T out is not enough. He must suffer.
CrisprCAS
Find soft Trump voters and make them solid Biden voters. That's the way you get revenge.
ElevenAndCounting
All i can think of is keeping my grandma from mailing her ballot because she said she'll vote for trump no matter what. But that's illegal..
CrisprCAS
Was your grandfather in the military? That might be a place to start.
SisterMidnight
DarkSock
Why this trashy motherfucker is still sitting in the oval office I will never understand. Fuck him and fuck his idiot supporters.
Brutsarge
I can’t fathom why even one member of our military (past or present) could possibly vote for him.
NPaine
And the Atlantic is def not the most leftist outlet out there...more like right, center- right.
BrilliantButCowardly
The Atlantic has a center left/ left leaning bias but it has very reputable, factual reporting and sourcing methods.
dudedude09
God there’s just so much surreal insanity to this presidency! Didn’t he openly attack a gold Star family? Maybe before the 16 election? Shit

More than one, but yes.

imran khan and many others. he told a grieving marine widow "he knew what he signed up for" and people thought bone spurs respected them?
Timbagged
Just wait for the insane shit he tweets out to try and distract us from what he said.
dekket
It's true because well, it's on tape.
NiciasGyrfalcon
Does anyone have a source for this? I have been trying to find it and, as much as i hate that fat piece of shit, I can't find hard proof.
dekket
Which taped scandal are you looking for? Ya gotta be more specific when it comes to Agent Orange
merelyadequategooglymoogly
The problem is his constituents don't read the Atlantic, but they do read and believe these tweets.
BrilliantButCowardly
Agreed, and now even Fox News has confirmed the story. I wonder how my family will excuse this bullshit now.
whyWontKeiraKnightleyReturnMyPhoneCalls
I have 3 brothers who served (1 army, 2 marines) who all still support him bc Israel & boarshuns & whatever and it honestly bums me tf out

Naw, they’re making bank. It’s their hardcore supporters who are the suckers.

Don' you dare associate Generals Kelly and Mattis with him. I served under both and knew and spoke personally with Gen Kelly.They have honor

Whoop there it is and on Fox news!
graehall
I've been going through comments on tweets about it, Trump supporters saying that Fox News is liberal now and "as bad as CNN". So good :D
Derrial
Looks like one of those Fox News programs with actual news that airs at 3 in the afternoon that none of their viewers watch.
joot
It’s no use. They will just say the “former White House official” made it up

HOLLY F*CK! ON FOX NEWS??? I don't think there's a way back for him from that.

What exactly is Biden’s plan?
TheRealArclight
oh doing everything to undo the damage trump has done is one plan..doing everything the complete opposite from what trump wants is the other

You missed the point. Look at the date of the tweet. She only supports him for the paycheck

I mean. She’s not wrong.

I mean, it was also proven true soooo?

McEnany has always been so honest!
sgtxsarge
I had someone tell me "I don't know" today. I was asking her questions related to her field, but I touched on something out of the scope 1/2
sgtxsarge
of her knowledge. She was honest. She told me she didn't know, because she didn't want to spread misinformation. I take most things 2/2
sgtxsarge
with a grain of salt, except for those three words. I really felt the weight of them because she was being honest where she could have lied.
BloodmoneNL
That's being morally correct and honest. Values of a proud America we once weilded.

They don't cry themselves to sleep at night. And when brought to courts, they claim it was entertainment and not news...

She is single-handedly responsible for the average intelligence of blondes being so low.

Everything at all caps.
guiltyalias
Did she really say "the awful presidency of Obama?" Project. Project. Project. Think of how many people flopped after Trump became president

Everything she said could be true. In public, he expresses gratitude, and she sees that. She could be calling some other Atlantic story BS.
Maungroas
MeowWoof
I mean, what she's doing is still horrible. Lying by omission, cherry picking, etc. Imo, it shows More Evil intentions.

This is the appropriate response
SethCronyn
‘I will never lie to you.’
KawaNyx
Like, the biggest red flag. Also admits to the idea that the position is expected to lie. Also, didn't she say that after she was caught
beoluves
She lied, lyingly, through her lying teeth
DancingDoggo
She lied about Paw Patrol... Who tf lies about that?
WhatTheHellIsGoingOnBob
Thor should smack her in lying face with mjolnir.
Metals4J
When she said that I knew never to trust a thing she said thereafter.
HitandRyan
I cannot imagine Trump ever expressing heartfelt gratitude or admiration for anyone. Dude’s a narcissist.
Brutsarge
Especially for the military. His jealous resentment of the military’s bravery is cringeworthy.
ultradongle
Everything, ALL interactions with Trump are transactional. He wouldn't hold the door for someone unless he was getting something in return.
DayGloOrangeFrisbee
Bring out pretty lady to make horny, unsatisfied, piece of shit gremlin men to think with their tiny dicks. That's all that she is.
DownvotesRmyBadgeUvadge
Just like in Billy Maddison, everyone who read your stupid fucking comment on imgur is now dumber for having read it.

Shes a cunt. Trumps a cunt. Soldiers died for the bullshit rich cunts. Stop enlisting ffs. Stop defending cunts.

awesomelady
Seriously? Say that to your mother?
Knifeywifey
What exactly do you find so offensive about his comment?
GrokInFullnessThouArtGod
Well, my mother was neither a fascist nor a professional liar, so I'm going to say, No?
GrokInFullnessThouArtGod
Also, my mother would've called her even worse than that. She had zero tolerance for self-serving, amoral, faux-patriots.
Knifeywifey
I am fairly feminist and would love to reject the idea that she was hired for any reason besides being highly qualified, but I can't.
Drunkablancas
What does that have to do with being feminist?
Knifeywifey
@Soylencer Thank you! You defended my point accurately throughout the thread. Also, I love your username.
Soylencer
Thanks, I was worried about putting words in your mouth. Used to be Soylent Hero but I worried people would think I'm an energy drink shill.
Knifeywifey
I watched Solyent Green in 7th grade during a gifted education class. It will always stay with me. That and "It's a cookbook, Jim!"
Soylencer
Because assuming someone is in a position based on anything other than merit, particularly as it pertains to women & appearance is unfair.
Drunkablancas
No, feminism doesnt ignore the reality that women are used and presented in certain ways in a patriarchal society. Feminists arent stupid.
Soylencer
That's a bit of a leap, I didn't say that even a little bit. What I did say was so crystal clear in intent I don't even know how to rephrase
KitchenClean
I’m surprised she graduated from Harvard. She just must’ve given up on ethics.
Beanholio
So did Ben Shapiro - higher education doesn't mean anything anymore.
KitchenClean
You’re absolutely right.
VaultGirl69
When I went to college, I was pretty intimated. It was considered a very good college. Then I heard my classmates open their mouths...
Thornaxe
If parents suck up early in a kids education they can get them into the “honors” track where they’re considered a “good kid” 1/2
Thornaxe
And get bloated grades so as to not “hurt their potential”.
DavidRobertson19
To be fair, I might disagree with Ben Shapiro on a lot of things but the dude is smart af
TheBeerDoctor
He knows his gift. At this point genuinely thats all these people are is grifters
Beanholio
He's brilliant but using his gifts to defraud the gullible and create hate where there was none before.
