Sadly, what about this statement is untrue?
50,000 souls? We never fought that war to win it. Thank you LBJ👍
That is 100% correct.

I remember the students marching in front of the White House, chanting " Hey Hey LBJ..how many Kids did ya kill today"
Be a Hero Today.... Adopt a Shelter Pet... The Beatles once sang "Can't Buy Me Love"... I disagree, unconditional Love can be bought, for the nominal adoption fee at your local Pet Shelter !

So now being a draft dodger (ok, he arranged a series of deferments then had a piss poor medical excuse) is supposedly more noble than serving your country and being a POW that was an undeniable war hero? That's some pretty fucked up thinking.

Click on her name Jennifer Griffin - she is from FOX News. Also this absolutely jives with everything we know of Trump, his actions, his words and his demeanor.
Fake News. Trump hater author John Bolton even confirmed.
As stated above trump is shown on camera uttering those quotes about McCain. Is that fake news ? And the Fox News correspondent, which Fox News has also confirmed, is also lieing ?

What's funny is something you (Show Me) labeled fake news a page or so ago in this thread, is now not only real news, but true, and Agent Orange gets kudos for it! Typical trumpesque type logic. Now say it often enough and other trumpies will believe it's true.

Never said his McCain comments were Fake. The Paris story was fake.

Yes and the one with the moral character of a spoiled rich kid let his emotions get the best of him. He absolutely could not help it; that's just who he is. It was a defining moment, one that clearly shows how ill-suited he is to be our President.

4 years in and you still don’t get it. That’s exactly why he won. He’s not a typical gutless phony politician like the rest of both Democrats and Republicans. He calls it like he sees. And too bad it offends people like yourself. I’m finally getting exactly what I voted for and I love it.

Oh Show Me, you're entitled to your opinion but you're not entitled to your own facts... I bet you and Ted Cruz could be BFFs. Trump could insult your dad, your wife, and call you the Zodiac killer and you would still be licking his boots. How does his leather high heels taste?

Also take the Wave and lay the points next Saturday if it's under 17. The bars in Louisiana have been open for over a month secretly under restaurant licenses and the cases have gone down. Your politicians are lying to you. Believe me, i've been intimately involved on all fronts including actually having this virus of a lifetime. Play Ball!!

Based on his comments and mindless tweets he is ill suited. But based on his actions and policies he is extremely well suited. I'll tolerate his ramblings in exchange for good tax policy; lower regulations; stopping the 30-year China giveaway; forcing our "allies" to get off our back and walk with us; getting us out of the Globalists' mindless wars; and trying to expose and fix the corruption in D.C. (by both parties). I just wish he'd come out and push hard for Congressional term limits--the ultimate weapon against entrenched D.C. corruption--and throw in a 20-year term limit on Supreme Court justices, while we're amending the Constitution.

She didn't confirm it. Its the same anonymous sources. Just because the same anonymous sources tell the same lie to multiple people doesn't make it become true. Jennifer Griffin is about as much pro-Trump as Donna Brazile is, who's also on Fox. The only people who were there that have spoken ON THE RECORD about the event ALL deny it. Even John Bolton, who hates Trump.

Robert McNamara and his elitist, know-it-all “ Whiz Kids”, which proceeded to get 50,000 disadvantaged American boys killed. The ultimate example of DC insider manipulation of the American people—and it still continues today.

+1 It it is about what Trump has gotten done and not his style (that can boggle the mind at times). Even Jill Stein of Green Party stated during her 2016 campaign that Trump would clearly be safer for the world with regards to war than Hillary.

Its called politics. Ho Harris called Biden a racist to his face and said she believed all his women accusers of sexual harassment and yet he picked her as VP.
Of course since she’s been picked VP she no longer believes those things. :shock:

I suggest that we agree to a cease and desist. No one's vote has been changed by reading this forum nor will it be. Let historians and our grandchildren decide who was on the side of the angels.* Vote your choice in November. We all will deserve who we elect.

Agreed. No different than HeelsUpHarris calling Biden a rapist, and then agreeing to be his running mate. Its politics. McCain may have been a good soldier, but he was a terrible politician, unless you're a Democrat.
Pathetic Trump Zombie Cult, the man is like a Mafia leader, all his soldiers in jail for taking a hit for the general. Manaford campaign manager, witness tampering, lying to Congress, dealing with Russia/ Cohen, Trumps lawyer arranged payments to Trumps mistresses using campaign and charity funds, lying to Congress,/ Flynn, Trumps Security Advisor lying to the FBI dealing with Russian Ambassador, /Roger Stone, Trumps longtime friend lying under oath about the Russian Investigation/ Rick Gates, Trump's deputy campaign chairman guilty of conspiracy against the U.S. and lying to investigators/ Nader, Trump Foreign Advisor convicted of child pornography and bring child to U.S. for Sex/ PAPADOPOULOS, Trump campaign advisor lying to the FBI./ Steve Bannon has been charged with defrauding Trump supporters in a campaign to help build the president’s signature wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, prosecutors said on Thursday. Now these are facts Trumps inner circle in jail for crimes committed during the 2016 Presidential Campaign. In addition Trump lost in court and had to pay 25 million to students he defauded by creating a fake Trump University. HIs New York Charity shutdown for filtering children charity dollars to Trumps campaign and legal fees. Only Pathetic people would deny that Trump knew all about this criminal behavior going on for him!!! Now I thought Tulane fans and Tulane people were good not only in intelligence but in character. It really saddens me that the Tulane Nation can be filled with nieve people, and there is only two clear choices here: 1. People that are ignorant or deny all the corruption surrounding Trump. 2. People that just don't care and have compromised their principles to be part of the Trump Cult. Which is it???

You will never understand the love people have for Trump. It was my duty to defend our great president. Fight Fake News with Fake Facts.
