The 45th POTUS - Donald J. Trump

[E.H. Ruddock]

So on this day in 1948 Truman desegregated the military. Awesome timing for today, Trump. :/

[@SkitchP]

I think im going to sound like Trump here for a second.


Was John McCain actually ever really a hero or even especially brave? Is his greatest accomplishment literally that he didn't die when held captive? Is that heroic and brave or just you know, staying alive?

Maybe he's always been a coward but we're all too afraid to say it?

If I remember correctly, he was offered release by the Vietnamese because his father was an admiral and he refused to be release before other prisoners taken before him.

Okay, that answers my question and does in fact show a level of heroism beyond the baseline.

And it was done without being kinda a jerk about it

Thank you.

I forgot add "Also the Tigers suck" to the end.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Skitch, can we talk about this "baseline"? Say he was just a POW that survived. Where is this idea coming from that he is "more" brave than someone else in the same position? Just curious.

[Norah]

Rank the war heroes on level of bravery.

This is why I hate RM sometimes. I got pissed off at a post that somehow turned into me pissing off that poster and now I feel bad about it.

Also it's distracting you from real things.

You and skitch are board heros and will be fine.

I think McCain is a war hero for having survived being a POW.
I also think it had no relation at all to his political career.

Being heroic includes survival of horrible treatment such as torture etc., and not coming through the other end as a raving homicidal maniac.

Being a politician is kinda the opposite.

WH Press Briefing is actually going to be televised today.

[LoathedVermin72]

This is such a hideous load of toxic, hateful, ignorant bullshit. I hope Trump and all his supporters die miserably.

[doug rr]

Dylan sounds like a fucking winner.

[doug rr]

[Monkey_Driven]

this is really sickening

Doesn't make it any better there are probably millions of people out there right now who are happy with Trump's decision.

[Jammer XCI]

45 should end with a .45 to the dome, self inflicted.

Fucking retarded asshole, just like his willingly ignorant constituency of fucking morons. We could use another civil war right about now.

Now this is one issue on which I agree with Jammer's cruel vitriol
