I don't doubt he used those words, but that's not the important part. thid congresswoman seems off her rocker so idk. In a normal situation you might be right. In light of the massive evidence we have of Trumps character and comments? No, he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. Him being this insensitive is 'normal'. | ||

I don't doubt he used those words, but that's not the important part. thid congresswoman seems off her rocker so idk. This entire thing could be avoided had Trump not seen the need to brag about how much he cared about the troops and how much better he was than the past Presidents. It's an absurd situation. In the UK we had a minor controversy when Prime Minister Gordon Brown wrote a letter of condolence to the mother of a soldier killed in action and called her "Mrs James", not "Mrs Janes". The difference is Gordon Brown apologized, called her to express his regret, and is half blind. People capable of expressing humility don't run into these issues. We don't need to dismember the entire transcript and try and prove once and for all who was in the right. Who is in the right isn't the issue, nobody thinks that Trump was deliberately trying to upset the widow, no more than anyone thinks that Brown got the name wrong as an intentional slight. He just needs to apologize and move the hell on. | ||

This was about the most predictable development to this story that could possibly have happened lol. | ||

A) My job is to run the country, I have more important shit to do than this, she should be thankful she got the letter she got. B) Getting shot at is literally his job. He got shot. I'm sorry it happened but this is basically what he was out there for. C) I was blinded as a child, I can't see for shit. D) If I had my secretary write the letter and just signed it then you'd get one without errors but bitch about me not taking enough time. This is what I get for doing it myself. he'd have been in the right. But not everything is about being in the right. Totally pwning that widow isn't a winning proposition. The question that remains is whether anyone can explain that to Trump in a way that he'll understand. | ||

Roy obviously just following Trumpsters. https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/319/624 probably the best argument on your Freedom of Speech. Even your job can't stop you. | ||

Dude's a former US Attorney with a work history of going after the KKK; he's a bit light on charisma imo, but he compares quite well with Roy Moore overall. | ||
