What surprises me about this story is that there’s no mention of his remarks concerning Senator McCain, where he said essentially the exact same thing.

The McCain comments have definitely been making the rounds in other stories on the topic.

It’s interesting that, just as this story breaks everywhere, the Pentagon is forcing the Stars & Stripes to shut down, globally, permanently.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

T rump backtracked on the Stars & Stripes thing. Maybe even in the story I posted.

I read an interesting comments that as scary as riots and looting are to suburbanites, angry white men -- or 17-year-old boys -- with AR-15s are scarier.

Worry not, Trumpo has this front covered all by himself today - by engaging in a multi-post tweet storm claiming that he never called McCain a loser.

And of course there are plenty of responses with video literally showing him doing exactly that, AND a tweet from 2015 by Trump himself proudly showing how he called McCain a loser.

100% par for the course for this loser. And nothing changes for his cult.

If you read The Atlantic article that kicked off this round, it definitely mentions McCain: Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

Trump’s understanding of concepts such as patriotism, service, and sacrifice has interested me since he expressed contempt for the war record of the late Senator John McCain, who spent more than five years as a prisoner of the North Vietnamese. “He’s not a war hero,” Trump said in 2015 while running for the Republican nomination for president. “I like people who weren’t captured.”

Read: John McCain’s death brought out the worst in the Trump administration

There was no precedent in American politics for the expression of this sort of contempt, but the performatively patriotic Trump did no damage to his candidacy by attacking McCain in this manner. Nor did he set his campaign back by attacking the parents of Humayun Khan, an Army captain who was killed in Iraq in 2004.

Trump remained fixated on McCain, one of the few prominent Republicans to continue criticizing him after he won the nomination. When McCain died, in August 2018, Trump told his senior staff, according to three sources with direct knowledge of this event, “We’re not going to support that loser’s funeral,” and he became furious, according to witnesses, when he saw flags lowered to half-staff. “What the fuck are we doing that for? Guy was a fucking loser,” the president told aides. 

In any event, this stuff is appalling, but much of it isn’t new, so I suspect we’ll just see more excuses for the president.

Also a Fox News correspondent has confirmed some of it with her sources (not that it’s kept others at Fox from claiming this is all fake news) :

Hey, it diverts attention from the Pelosi beauty salon setup anyway.

First thing I thought of was the McCain incident.

Looks like the NYPD is  in on the NYC car mowing through crowd incident, too.

Well I have wanted to punch him in the face since before he won! I don’t understand the vets who think this guy gives a shit about them. When my man Mattis says he’s a joke, you best listen.

That’s because they know that lying pisses off the opposition party, so they revel in it.

Trump looked pusillanimous compared to John McCain and Trump knew it.

NYPD’s union endorsed Trump. The fallout from the Trump years will be raining down for years to come, as you’ve been saying.

Meanwhile, the cops keep gunning down Black men. And white men, but not so many. And Americans far and wide are stocking up on long guns and ammunition.

Between killing meals on wheels, jacking up the Post Office which employs a lot of vets, promising to kill SS and medicare, and his original bid to repeal Obamacare, it's almost as if he just wanted to become president to fuck them over.

My buddies who served under Mattis stopped bringing up Trump when he peaced out.

It’s beyond me how anyone follows this chump, I guess there are a lot of disgusting people out there, more than I thought . Based on the things that trend and the comments I read in various places we have a serious educational crisis in this country.

Police reform is going to be a massive battle for years to come. Something massive needs to be don e, and it will be very right vs left. (I don’t agree with “defund the police” as it is too alarmist, but definitely reform the police and destroy the police unions - nothing will change until those unions are demolished).

I’d be stocking up on short guns too, especially if I lived in certain areas. That reminds me, I was going to shop for one - as the out of town “militia” types have also been seen in my area (one that is usually in the more first world part of Murka), who knows when it could be needed.

Public employee unions are a plague. They’re the reason most public education is garbage, too. Good luck getting rid of them , though,  considering they r ival major corporations in their lobbying and budgets for it.

I’m a teacher and my union fancies itself a strong one and I am running for union rep at my school and I would not disagree with anything you’ve said here.

We need a system like they have in Britain with unarmed cops that no doubt the inner-city folks would be quite happy to see instead of heavily-armed para military types.

I think any change from the status quo would help right now. I wish the police would take a stand against the “militia” types invading other areas looking for a fight.

I’m repeating, but don’t “defund” the police, reform the police, and bust the unions and their spoiled fratboy-like protect-the-bad-apples system.

How many cops are closeted “militia” types? Or not-so-closeted?

My views on cops have shifted dramatically. I think being a cop would suck right now.

Frat boy? Like they went to college?

Destroying the union protections could change that issue. The “punisher” mentality is definitely alive, due in part because there’s little accountability and even fewer consequences.

B eing a good cop would suck right now. It’s a great time to be a bad one

Frat boy mentality - good old boys club, good ones cover for the bad guys, and daddys is always there to sweep things under the rug.

As a non union teacher at private schools, unions  definitely aren’t the only reason education as a whole is garbage.
