OVERHEARD....

OVERHEARD: 2 vets I know, both in their 60-70's...talking about the meeting with Piss drunk Pete and 'MuriKKKa's pedophile with the Generals. One said that it was a glorious rousing of the military, the other countered him it was a drunk and a draft dodger, when the first one, obviously a MAGAt, said, that he understood why trump didn't serve.

'We have to keep out future presidents safe from combat."

Read it again, that was on Saturday and I'm still mulling it over...

Believed back then. They felt they were above serving in the military and their skills were better suited for leadership positions elsewhere. Frankly, I thought that thinking was put to rest. But now I see that Trump is the culmination of all the bad ideas and twisted logic that I thought we had outgrown.

The possibiliy of contracting a sexually transmitted disease was so life threatening, Trump said dating was "like being in Vietnam." He described the effort to avoid venereal disease as his "personal Vietnam," adding "I feel like a great and very brave soldier." Trump is a decorated veteran in the Clap Wars.
