Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Like a quote from the nephew is going to change anything by now. At this point there are a multitude of quotes straight from the Jackass' mouth that demonstrate his outright contempt for anyone serving in uniform aside from maybe the generals he's directly had to deal with and even then only if they didn't flat out refuse one of his idiotic/illegal proposals.

If you're a veteran, or a member of the military, and you vote for that asshole you deserve what you get.

Yeah I don't see how this is news. He's repeatedly called soldiers "losers" and "suckers", he's ditched appearances where he was supposed to be honoring fallen soldiers, and that business recently at the Arlington cemetery just really hammered home the fact that he has no respect for them in any way whatsoever.

This seems more like the nephew wants to cash in on 15 minutes of fame by just agreeing with things we all already knew... but he is a Trump so I guess it's not that surprising lol

You're correct; this isn't news. He's trying to cash in (same with Mary Trump), and the news outlets are too. Anything with trump in the headline generates clicks/ad revenue, so they'll run anything regardless of its actual news value. We should all be downvoting these articles and otherwise discouraging people from posting shit like this

Disagree. They have a duty to speak out and they do. It's news because for some fucking reason 40% of all registered voters are dumb as a sack of hammers.

Oh, so the nephew thinks someone who has publically shat on soldiers who were captured or killed doesn't think hisbuncle gives a shit about soldiers?

Really informative!

doesn't think hisbuncle gives a shit about soldiers

I'll call it sleep deprivation, but I initially read the the title as "spiders" instead of "soldiers" at least twice. I was like, "how the hell is this even propaganda?"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Not many world leaders do.

We knew this already. Look at all his old quotes about soldiers, look at how he shit-talks them at every turn, calling them losers and suckers, saying he doesn't understand why a smart person would ever join the military. Trump barely even bothers to veil his true feelings for soldiers, which lay somewhere between contempt and mockery.
