(50,555 posts)One of my online friends is heavily into dressage. She has a herd of horses and runs a school.
I have a suspicion we could talk her out of 12 cubic yards of manure pretty easily.

(5,812 posts)IMO, he's jealous of McCain. I never liked McCain's politics, but he was a good person and a heroic vet. The war prisoner camp -- he took it like a man and did not look for or accept special treatment. They offered to release him because of who his dad was -- McCain refused the special treatment. Because of this refusal, there was a lot I could forgive about his polics even tho I did not agree with much he supported.
McCain was a hero and THAT is the orange asshole's problem.

(32,634 posts)... which would be a huge mistake.
The next aircraft carriers will be completed so far in the future (2030 or later) that Trump will already be dead and dishonored when it happens. How come there's no ship named SS Richard Nixon? Because nobody would serve on her, and she'd be considered bad luck anyway. Same would happen if they ever built SS Donald Trump.

(1,622 posts)...The United States Navy actually covered up the name of a U.S. naval vessel bought and paid for with the American citizen's tax dollars in order not to exacerbate the inferiority complex of this dickhead?
This country has truly jumped the fucking shark...

(11,885 posts)Insecure and threatened he is from others greatness, and his failures, which is all he's got. What a laughing stock for our country, and a self absorbed idiot proving each day what a moron looks and sounds like. Having to lie like he does trying to get others to accept his self proclaimed greatness is nothing but ignorance in action from a narcissist , and a serial liar.

(5,810 posts)It shows how far the staff will go to try to prevent unpleasantness for their boss. They know him very well and try to anticipate things that will annoy him or piss him off. You can be sure they have heard him rant and rave about such petty details as an aircraft carrier with an offensive (to him) name on it. So quietly, behind the scenes, they arrange to get the name covered up and the crew of the carrier kept out of his sight. If that doesnt smack of Captain Queeg, I dont know what does.

(49 posts)That not only surprises me but scares the crap out of me. This is what I see:
He is conditioning the military to do something like this now something that is relatively superficial and pertains to imaging
Next time ask the military to do something a bit more serious like some field operations thing
and...
Next he orders the military to supplement police forces when we demonstrate in mass (he has already broken the Posse Comitatus Act sending troops to the border)
until... he orders the military to forcibly disband the US congress
I see this coming.
Notably his rallies are not political rallies but brainwashing regimes for the development of his "brown shirts".
I want this fool out of office, off the airways and completely destitute.

(6,831 posts)trump is hammered whale shit (because there is nothing lower on Earth).
trump could never have endured what John McCain (or Tanner) did in the Hanoi Hilton. Never. This punk ass coward would have ratted out and endangered every other sailor and the entire NAVY in the process to save his candy ass.
He is nothing but a chicken shit coward who FAKED a disability to evade military service.
FUCK HIM.
Ohioboy
(3,240 posts)Thank you for your service. I understand your sentiment.
McCain even could have been released early from prison, but chose to stay with his men. That took strength.

(11,885 posts)Claimed he was not helped by putin , but stood next to him in Helsinki when putin himself said he did back trump, and helped him. Who you believe liar trump or from putin's own mouth . He did screw up and admit putin helped him once, then reversed his position , again. trump's lying about this Navy thing, and is so insecure and hates that John McCain served his country and was declared a hero, and he dodged serving when he had the chance because of privilege, and will never be a hero, its eating his ego up alive.
