    Sickening.

    Sorry Kamala I’m not sickened by this in a literal or even figurative sense. It’s good actually to not go kill peasents because they are filthy commies. I mean trump did it for the wrong reasons no doubt but by merely not going he is better than say… John McCain.

    I am literally sickened by some things though. Like sickened in the sense I feel ill thinking about it. Hind Rajab? Burning with an IV? Execution of prisoners after strip searching?

    This sickens me you immoral scumbag

    Your friends John Bolton and George W. Bush avoided Vietnam too. I’d say Trump has the moral high ground here compared to them because he didn’t start a war with Iran over a drone.

    Quite plausibly (by complete accident, but nevertheless) the single most moral thing Trump has ever done in his life was dodge the fucking draft.

      All of the most moral acts of Trump’s presidency were purely the result of him being a coward

      the way how he can both blatantly pander and say whatever his audience wants him to say AND not give a fuck and say whatever he feels like

      it’s weird, it’s refreshing. nobody else in politics does it, and it just completely breaks the dems. like, if they were like, “oh, we kinda agree with him on this or that point” it might actually get his supporters to stop and see he’s saying things they’d hate. But decorum dictates they take every stance you expect a republican to, with like a 20% politer tone. So all the MAGA heads see is Democrats getting angry, which is all they really want.

    How is this even controversial? Even in America, the number one thing Vietnam vets are known for is PTSD and getting owned by Agent Orange. Draft dodging was the objectively better choice, even if you got sent to prison for it.

      the rules based order and decorum dorks, it turns out, really don’t like it when people don’t pay lip service to dying like a dog for your country when called to do so.

    reminding people that Trump endorsed draft dodging when your party to lurching towards WW3 doesn’t seem like a rational political strategy, but I’m just part of the beanis gallery over here

        specifically, they were saying it was russian bots posting US atrocities to make russia seem comparatively less evil in their invasion of ukraine

        …nevermind that it was the anniversary of the massacre

          And never mind the fact that Russia, even in its currently degraded state, is objectively less evil than the United States
