There were over 54,000 Americans killed in the Korean War. They did not die so an American president could on Memorial Day ignore North Korean missiles and join Chairman Kim in attacking a former Vice President of the United States.
Impeach this traitor now!

2. Just let this sink in

Low everything Smokey eyed Sanders supports the notion of Low IQ Joe Biden.
Bet he can walk in to any restaurant in DC

[Scarsdale]

31. Yes.

Plus he would be greeted warmly. S.Sanders is a disgrace. Scowling, wonky eyed lump.

We must thank the brave soldiers who died in the service of a nation where removing fascist authoritarian monsters like Stubby-Fingered Blobfish & the GOP from office is at least a possibility. #MemorialDay

6. Oh, ow. Stubby-Fingered Blobfish. eom

[peggysue2]

26. Brutal

But I like it!

[sprinkleeninow]

28. Quite creative!

Did you ever expect to have one such as this occupying the highest office in our land be the recipient of so very many demeaning descriptions? [* wrote his own ticket.]

It is disturbing where we all are this very day.

May take an intervention of a 'divine' nature to bring about a turnaround in the direction to the place to which we are accustomed and do expect.

4. How Many Americans Died In Korea?

BY CBSNEWS.COM STAFF
JUNE 5, 2000 / 5:13 PM / CBS

June 5, 2000 - As the 50th anniversary of the start of the Korean War approaches, one key statistic is being reclarified— the one detailing just how many Americans were killed in the war.

For years after the war ended in 1953, the Pentagon published a figure of 54,260. That combined the 33,643 "battle deaths" with 20,617 "other deaths."

But in 1989 the Pentagon began revising the totals because "other deaths" included U.S. military deaths worldwide during the three years of the war, rather than just those soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who died in and around the Korean peninsula.

In the 1994 version of its annual publication, Service and Casualties in Major Wars and Conflicts, the Pentagon put Korean War battle deaths at 33,652 and "other deaths" meaning deaths in the war zone from illness, accidents and other non-battle causes at 3,262. That yields a total of 36,914 ...

16. Watoos, that is just false. Why are you doing this?

"Why are Republicans Trump's biggest critics?"

[MontanaMama]

19. Uh. They aren't.

Not sure what you even meant there...

[Hekate]

22. Not sure what's "meant" ...

....but it really is divisive.

[UniteFightBack]

24. I think you forgot the n't on that are right there...... nt

7. Hay Richard W., when ya gonna change your middle initial to

Richard D.? 🤔 ☺

[WhiskeyGrinder]

10. Never.

He primaried a sitting Democratic senator and refused to call himself a Democrat. He can eat a bag of dicks.

8. tRump is remaking his own version of unpatriotic traitor into his follower's CiC.

It's the world is upside down principle. His weaknesses are his strengths.

[demigoddess]

9. I know my dad was wounded there. Took a year to recover. carried the shrapnel the

rest of his life. Died too young. And he was a greater man than trump the draft dodger.

12. My brother fought in the Korean War

He did communications work in Korea. He passed on about 40 years ago. I am sure he would have had some choice words for Trump's treasonous remarks.
Trump tramples the graves of all those who fought and died there.
I don't see how any veteran can support this guy.

18. My father fought in Korea, too.

In Chosin.

He was badly injured when a missile landed in front of his jeep. Of the four men in the jeep, he was the only one to survive the blast. He nearly died from his injuries. I'm just glad that he is NOT around to hear this draft-dodging POS coward praise a murderous Korean dictator and disparage an American VP at the same time. I don't think his blood pressure could have tolerated it.

[Ponietz]

13. He will take a shit on Omaha beach on June 6th. How many Americans died in that war?

[Stonepounder]

14. Just a little thought experiment.

If I recall correctly, the Korean War isn't over. There is just a 'cease fire' in place. So, technically, we are still at war with N. Korea.

Trump is giving 'aid and comfort' to the enemy.

Ummm...isn't that the definition of TREASON? And we can't get the GOP to sign on to impeaching a TRAITOR?

WTF?

[Evolve Dammit]

15. Excellent question. Richard Painter (served under Bush Jr.) is a real patriot.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

27. Then why wasn't he speaking out

Against Cheney back then?

[geardaddy]

35. Bingo.

[Evolve Dammit]

38. See response to Stonepounder. I see your points and how short-sighted of me.

[Evolve Dammit]

37. Good question. I don't know what he did or didn't do, but would love to ask him directly.

The Bush/ Cheney "fake news" war against Iraq was carried out with virtually no consequences. Sickens me to this day. I gave Painter some slack based on his recent (last 2 years) condemnations of Liar-in-Chief.

[SCVDem]

17. Are we really still at "war"?

As I recall, it was never a war.

Conflict or police action perhaps.

I'm sure the dead don't appreciate the distinction!

[Stonepounder]

20. There was never a actual end to the Korean {put tech description here}.

North and South Korea are still operating under a 'cease fire' which, I suspect, does not count as an official 'end' of whatever you want to call it.

Whether giving aid or comfort to 'someone we are fighting and losing thousands of our military but are temporarily under a cease fire but not a negotiated peace' counts as Treason.

21. K!

[UniteFightBack]

25. This is an excellent point. I even saw Steve Cortez disagree with rump about this today...first

time I can remember seeing that. It's repulsive to ALL.

[Kid Berwyn]

29. Trump the Traitor

Putin’ America’s enemies first.

[YOHABLO]

30. Absolutely. Let's not forget the number of N.Koreans he has in concentration camps.
