This Getty shot from @axios today tells the full story of the incredibly insulting, and juvenile Trump and Hegseth show today in front of a clearly embarrassed U.S. military leadership. A helluva lot of medals of valor in that room, and not the kind you get for fake bone spurs.

Actually no. She’s a true leader and strong ally. Grew up under communism, broke the political glass ceiling in Germany and saw her nation united and democratic. Not comprehending any of this is why you’ll never be at such a ceremony: there’s no kids’ table for cornpone grifters.
Must have been an "awkward" moment for Angela Merkel to sit in ceremony as the Allies commemorated D-Day that broke the back of Nazi Germany.

Biden = Four New Years of safety, peace, competent team, and steady normalcy.
Trump = Four more years of chaos, violence, burning cities and dangerous incompetence.
Which is better for your family?

I watched the video again last night and thought about how that was my old friend and boss John McCain’s seat and I snapped and sent Mark Kelly money. Her cowardice on Trump and reveling in her press hate did it for me. Kelly is the Patriot in this race. Doubt JSM would disagree
McSally calling a reporter a “liberal hack” for asking a question, and then taking high fives from today’s “conservatives” for doing so, tempts me to say: If it’s liberal to hold public officials in our liberal democracy accountable for doing their job, then I guess I’m liberal.

I really don’t think Trump has the mental/intellectual rigor to distinguish between fact and fiction. He creates this avalanche of lies and then believes it because it feeds his massive ego and bottomless pit of insecurities. It’s bonkers. And dangerous. #Moron

A gutless, draft dodging coward like Trump wouldn’t understand, but having both arms broken in an ejector seat, then being beaten and bayoneted by a crowd when he landed in Hanoi, and then tortured in prison with iron bars, yes, John McCain had fucking trouble raising his arms.
Donald Trump mocks John McCain's injury sustained while a prisoner of war. McCain was unable to lift his arms above his shoulders.
"John McCain for some reason couldn’t get his arm up that day."

It’s an escalation, but this idea of a NATO enforced no fly zone over western Ukraine and Kyiv @AdamKinzinger and others are talking about is an interesting idea. Russian AirPower is no match for NATO. Taking away air support ability would really hobble Russian invasion.

Kudos to Biden this. How the old-school in politics knows to act.

Just watched. I think the pressure of falling behind in the polls during this Kamala surge is breaking him mentally. This weirdo cannot handle the job of President, let alone be a competent, coherent candidate.
He’s never been weaker, older, or more totally out of it.

Oh please. No ethic lectures from you, you cheap carny hustler. Mitt never begged Trump for anything. They pitched him the job. Every Romney criticism of Trump is based on Trump’s own vile actions, none of which offend you since you sold your moral compass for dimes long ago.
Know what makes me sick, Mitt? Not how disingenuous you were to take @realDonaldTrump $$ and then 4 yrs later jealously trash him & then love him again when you begged to be Sec of State, but makes me sick that you got GOP nomination and could have been @POTUS

It’s a grift to try to link contempt for Trump with disrespect for our military. Trump is a coward hiding behind their greatness, scraping for slivers of reflected honor from their service since he has none of his own.
Based on the hysterical reaction to Trump’s speech, I conclude Trump’s critics haven’t learned the lessons of 2015/2016. They continue to dismiss Trump, ignoring the tens of millions who love the flag, displays of patriotism and the military. They’re blinded by hatred to Trump.
