I was skeptical at first. Just another opportunity for his cult followers to claim fake-news-deep-state and have it have no effect on him like every other damn thing. But I can't help to be more optimistic as I keep hearing more reaction. Even Fox News confirming, and no denial from Kelly.
Am I being too overly optimistic now? I learned to temper my enthusiasm over the last four years as no rules or norms ever apply to trump, but this feels different to me. Insulting our military pisses off a lot of people.

(21,552 posts)nothing he's said in the article is anything he hasn't already said in some fashion, namely about McCain, so i don't know why this will be any different............. maybe the scope of it since he is attacking all soldiers in general and not just a political rival?????? i hope you are right, but this rug has been pulled out from under us a million times.

Mcsally was appointed following McCain s passing, but b4 he passed, she said she wished he would hurry up and die. One of the reasons we are now seeing Mark Kelly with a 17 pt lead. And one of the reasons why Joe Biden is polling +9 on the Fox News swing state poll of 9/2.
Even if it isnt nation wide, which it should be, it obviously still sticks in the craw of most Arizonans. Hopefully Enough to hand us a victory that leads us to 270 and beyond.
Lets keep the noise front and center...its the least we can do

What you are seeing is a glimmer that could be the right thing, a glimmer of hope.
Take the hope, let it give you that bit of a break from the endless stress, but keep your eyes open.
That's all.

(22,025 posts)Great observation, LonePirate. Wouldn't it be remarkable if someone who was in the know would confirm Trump's comments? It wouldn't change some people's minds but it would have an impact.
Have a great weekend.

(14,300 posts)There will be election fuckery, but I think this story will sink him below a stealable margin. Thats all we need.
Hes not going to be cuffed and marched out, but he will be gone in January, God willing. After that he gets to face the music. Maybe then there will be cuffs.
