Half of trumps voters are deplorable, the other half are irredeemable. ~ HRC

“Politically incorrect”

I didn’t think his voters were so thin skinned as to take offense at a silly offhand comment like that. Maybe they’re too soft to participate in politics...

“Politically incorrect.”

Hateful, untrue and stupid. Political Correctness is avoiding or ignoring the truth to avoid offending someone.

Texas Dem group crops Melania out of viral presidents photo

Nice......

Democrats and the Liberal Media dislike her for the simple fact that she is married to Trump...

Cruel attacks on Melania Trump obscure her positive role
Never has there been so much lingering hostility so long after a presidential election.

Much of this hostility has been aimed at the first family, with a particularly cruel emphasis on Melania Trump.

And yet, despite the barrage of insults attacking her, including the New York Times reporter who referred to her as a hooker and the ex-boxer who called her a golddigger, the first lady continues to demonstrate grace, kindness and patience.

The Dems and JB: Disparage, Demean and Smear first, ask questions later!

I actually had a problem with him before all this stuff came out, simply because he was unqualified.

The articles you reference are talking about 1 incident. You had 2 dozen retired and current military members speak out against him. Did they just all get together in some conspiracy against him?

Then, the guy quit. If you're innocent, why quit? Why not fight? The VA is a big monster of a thing, we don't need soft people that fold up and quit. He's back to his old job.

The VA is a big monster of a thing,

Monsters like King Kong and Godzilla usually are killed off. Right?

The VA needs to evaluated so some of it can be semi privatized or fully private, like Medicare but wider scope of benefits paid by taxpayers for mental health, PTSD, artificial robotic limbs from best minds and inventors, more R&D from private medical device firms. Rehab, PT, special housing and get rid of 60% of all the DR. Administrators in DC.

Like the space program, the eventual spin offs to consumer medical products could be huge. Its a win win for everybody.

Political Correctness is avoiding or ignoring the truth to avoid offending someone.

“Politically correct” used to mean avoiding offending someone or some group.
“Politically Incorrect” seems to have become a trendy excuse for being deliberately rude or hurtful.

Somehow, this drug abusing, womanizing alcoholic managed to rise to the rank of Read Admiral, pass every background check by the FBI, CIA and Secret Service.

Unbelievable. You'd think President Obama would pick better people.

Politically correct: Pushing an unfit, radical Islamist through the ranks and different assignments because you don't want to be labeled a racist.

Then when he kills people in the name of Allah, calling it work place violence.

Politically incorrect: Calling President Obama and Air Force leaders lying cowards for covering it up.

Hateful Ignorance: Calling people who wont vote for you, deplorable or irredeemable.

Unbelievable.

And, look who's President. You can rise up with having issues. And drug abusing, womanizing? Do you have new info on him? And passed different checks? Doesn't Trump always go off on the FBI and such?

And do you think those 2 dozen people are just making stuff up? And he quit because? He wouldn't have if he was innocent.

Ahh.. deflection. running out of bullshit on this story so change the subject. Nobody voted for Admiral Jackson. He rose through the ranks with hard work and merit.

That you so happily repeated every slander b/c you don't like the man who appointed him says a lot.

That you so happily repeated every slander says b/c you don't like the man who appointed him says a lot.

Again, you can rise thru the ranks with having issues. You really don't think there are officers with drug or alcohol problems?

And again, I didn't think he was a good fit before all of this.

And you're dodging questions. Why did he quit? Do you think those 23 are lying? Or do you think he's completely innocent and just soft?

 

[mr-x]

You keep peddling the same bullshit. If he's writing scripts and abusing drugs, why wasn't he reported or arrested?

Completely clean record until three weeks ago. Amazing the bullshit you'll repeat.

You dodging questions is basically answering them for me.

You have to believe 23 people are lying and he quit for no reason. That's Trump fan thinking, not logical thinking. He quit, he didn't have to but he quit. That was for a reason. We don't need quitters for top positions like that.

Maybe this is why:

Trump’s Doctor Accused of Handing Out Ambien. D.E.A. Calls the Practice Illegal.

"The practice may have been accepted, but it is also illegal. “You could be prosecuted,” said Melvin Patterson, a spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration."

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/26/health/trump-doctor-ambien.html

At the press conference about Trump's health, he talked about passing out and recommending people take pills like Ambien when going overseas. I've taken many a flight overseas, never had to take a pill. Too many people taking and relying on pills, don't need some pill pusher.

The Calculated Trashing Of Admiral Ronny Jackson
https://www.redstate.com/streiff/2018/04/28/calculated-trashing-admiral-ronny-jackson/

The Washington Post, helpfully, provides a list of the allegations. To date, not a single one of the allegations has been supported by a single bit of evidence. And at least one has been conclusively denied.

 

[JB Lions]

White House Correspondents Dinner 2018, the right has been triggered. These things are basically roasts. I can understand by Trump skips them, unlike other Presidents.

Even journalist hated it.

Michael Hayden: The End of Intelligence
Hayden was CIA director from 2006 to 2009 during the George W. Bush presidency. He was the National Security Agency director from 1999 to 2005, spanning the presidencies of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush

Bush with help from Democrats, plunged this country into a decades long war and a recession.

Even after seeing the horrors of Bosnian war, Hayden supported going to Iraq.

"His 10-year tenure in these top intelligence positions was no ordinary decade. In addition to the Iraq War, there were the Sept. 11 attacks, the expansion of NSA data collection and the investigations into claims of torture by CIA interrogators.

Hayden writes about this period in a new memoir, Playing to the Edge."

Liberals attacking Trump should keep in mind, there was a calculated effort by liberal media that helped Trump beat better men in the republican primaries.

When President Trump made public plans for extraction from Syria, liberals attacked him as naive and stupid.

President Trump may be a a dishonest prick.. but he's truthful and straightforward in analyzing challenges and finding solutions.

President Ronald Reagan was a kind, thoughtful man who treated everyone with respect. That didn't stop liberals from slandering, mocking him. While there was some respect for Reagan from the media, Hollywood and popular culture hated him.

Trump has it harder but he's a knife fighter from Brooklyn.
