(22,797 posts)She's the one who said, in Trump's first term, that REPUBLICANS...not all of Congress, just Republicans...needed to "go behind closed doors," away from media scrutiny, and "FIX" Social Securiry.
She's the prototypical "empty vessel."

How old are all those Trump grandkids now? Jrs, Gummys, princess Kushners. About enough to serve, and grow some balls like Grandpappy willing to rid through the Straights on a tanker?

I tried to serve but daddy bone spur would not let me. Thats some real Haqueseth masculinity there. The kind of bravery to fill boots in the Fox drunks war machine.

(21,186 posts)I honestly don't doubt it. He accepted a purple heart from a gold star family who lost their son for Pete's sake. Any honorable man would have said, "No, you keep that and my condolences on your loss. Your son was brave and we appreciate his sacrifice."

Ron Johnson just shut down a bill to continue to allow disabled vets to receive the retirement payment after 20 years served, plus disability coverage if they were disabled in service. He said quote, Its a matter of dollars and cents!!!!!!!
They all GQP hate us. While they blow our taxes to line their fortunes.
And I fume everytime I go to the VA and see trucks plastered in trump shit and vets in the care waiting rooms with those damn red hats. No Trump ever served. Fred ran away from his country to get here to avoid serving HIS Homeland.
