This presidency is like "The Producers"

No matter how ridiculous, outrageous, and ridiculously outrageous the statements are, the Musical is a hit. At least with 40+ percent.

Springtime for Hitler, anyone?

Didn’t he do himself in when he dissed the gold star family? No? I mean what does it take for this guy to be despised by the military? Suppose he dropped an A-bomb on Fort Dix? Or launched a cruise missile strike on Parris Island? Or had one of our nuclear subs torpedo an aircraft carrier, Which would have been the USS John F Kennedy if it hadn’t been decommissioned. Or perhaps he would re-commission it so that he could blow it up. Wouldanything surprise you at this point?

My father served four years in the Pacific theater during World War II and saw nearly all of his military friends killed or horribly wounded. He would take a giant shit if he heard what came out today. It is disgraceful beyond human comprehension.

racism.

I'm not saying anyone act is a racist but I am saying that Trump has played that White Male American is being oppressed by all these liberal minorities card extremely well.

South Pacific. Never spoke about it. He might have voted for IT in 3016, but not now. He and Mom died in 2008, so he didn't have to see the dregs of humanity who call themselves Republican now.

I agree that all republicans are all in. They’re long passed the point of no return. Olympus has fallen and it can’t get up.

My step-dad were both lifers in the Navy, WWII, WESTPAC. My dad was shot down and rescued under lights out in water, he was a sub chaser/fly guy.

I grew up in the military and eventually, at the end of my working years, became a civilian uniformed civil servant for several agencies. This is beyond the pale and I hope it causes the military to reject his authority. And that's no small thing but I think it is the only thing they can do under the oaths they took.

at the end there are testimonials from relatives of guys who were there - one of them, the guy died of Alzheimer's and they said in the end, he forgot who his own children were but he never forgot being in the Pacific
