Dave, the stock market is up 25% since the election.......if it surprises you it's only because you don't have any money. Here's hint for you too: If the market stays up and gaining throughout his Presidency plenty of "die hard liberals" will re-elect him when they get in the booth, along with conservatives.

That is, 'your son knew the risks and he went to war despite the risks'. I'd like to read/hear what he actually said. Yep. It's not war, but I have personally worked with 7 Police Officers who were killed in the line of duty, including a partner. They all knew what they were getting into and that sentiment is expressed quite often by other Officers. It's meant, as you said, as a matter of respect for their courage and sacrifice. Every time a Police Officer or Soldier runs toward the gunfire they know damn well what they're getting into and, still, they go. To make hay out of President Trump's comment, if he actually even said it, without any context of the conversation, is pretty much borne by ignorance IMO. Edited by Left Brain 2017-10-19 9:03 AM |

If the soldier's mother said she felt offended, the only thing a president should respond with is an apology. Maybe, maybe not. With the involvement from the Representative it kind of muddies the water. I've listened to the call. She sure didn't seem to be offended at the time. I don't think the President owes her anything else. Apology included. I'd feel the same way no matter who was President under the same circumstances. Once you make something political all bets are off. That's the price of poker at that point. No apology needed. |

I'll tell you something else that's not working.....the constant barrage on Trump by the Left to see if ANYTHING can possibly stick. Had breakfast this morning with a few teachers who Ive always known to be way left of center. All expressed that if the Democrat party kept it up they would no longer consider themselves part of the party. This is what happened to get Trump elected, and the Dems couldn't see it then, and they don't see it now. This has turned into buffoonery from the Left. PLEASE keep it up!!! |

1300 | Subject: RE: Commander in Grief Originally posted by Left Brain That would be a refreshing conversation. Pretty much everyone I know on the left is blaming the world coming unglued on Trump. ANYTHING he does is constant fodder. Those on the right I know are a “little” better with at least you can discuss how the left is always wrong.

Champion 10154 Alabama | Subject: RE: Commander in Grief These women are being used as pawns to try to make Trump look bad. I just watched an interview with the window who was saying "Why can't he remember my husband's name. The only reason he finally did was when he looked down at a folder with his name." He husband's name was La David. She want on talking about people who go off to fight and we owe it to them to remember their names or something like that. I think apologies by people after there is 'outrage' is phony anyway. It wouldn't matter if Trump apologized. The left would find something wrong with his choice or words or timing for delivery.....it's a no-win situation so don't even go there. I stick my original analysis and that is he meant to honor the soldier's courage. In other news......the Russian collusion investigation now has a Clinton staffer in the crosshairs. Go figure. |
