Don’t you see a lot of Trump qualities in yourself?

Narcissism, prone to exaggeration to make himself look important, desperately wants to be liked, can’t take criticism, inability to admit when he is wrong, etc.

Funny and true.

I’ve often thought that myself.

Not sure what he’s like in real life, but Flagpole’s online persona is very reminiscent of Trump’s.

There was already a thread a few years back dedicated to bashing Flagpole. Let us avoid going down that path again here.

You lost me at “John Kerry: War Hero.”

It should be pointed out that John Kerry served in the military in Vietnam. He won 3 purple hearts, 1 bronze star and 1 silver star. His service was called into question by George W Bush and friends. George W Bush avoided serving in Vietnam by invoking "daddy is a political big shot" privileges.

Perhaps you also were lost at "Robert Mueller" whose integrity is questioned by President Bone Spurs.

Ouch

““I gotta ask you a question,” she says. “I do not believe in, I can’t trust Obama. I have read about him, and he’s not a . . . he’s an Arab.”
“No, ma’am,” McCain replies, shaking his head and taking the microphone from her. “He’s a decent family man and citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues, and that’s what this campaign is all about.”
In those final weeks, McCain would try to make his campaign more about the issues, upsetting a party base that accused him of not hitting harder at Barack Obama’s background or questioning his patriotism. As the campaign ended, it would become dominated by their anger, at times egged on by the pre-Trumpian populist whom McCain had chosen as his running mate, then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
The party’s next nominee, 2012’s Mitt Romney, would run afoul of the same dynamic. But in 2016 Republicans would find in Trump a nominee who spoke to, indeed encouraged, the fears of the woman in red.”

There are no "daddy is a political big shot" Privileges in the Military, No Ones father or relatives can get one into the Military, No amount of money can get you into the military, The Military has STANDARDS one has to meet, and if you don't meet those standards Jeff Bezos does NOT have enough Money to get you in, No General, or President, can get you in.

George W. Bush was in the Coast Guard his father George H.W. Bush had no say WHATSOEVER on if he got in or not, or what service he went into, Shaking My Head at how little people know about the Military, Flat Feet, Irregular Heartbeat, History of Mental Problems etc. can disqualify you, They Can NOT let everyone in, if they did there would be 330 Million people in it, and no one to keep up the Infrastructure.

President Trump never realized his dream of being in the Military, But he can take consolation in being Commander and Chief of the Military.

DB's post is so wrong, on so many points, that I have to wonder whether s/he is poe-ing us. If it's just a troll post, then...well played! If it's serious, then...hoooooo boy.

The question was not about GWB's getting into *some* branch of the military, but specifically about his getting into the Texas Air National Guard ("Coast Guard"? Where'd you pull that out of? Never mind, I think I know), thereby avoiding duty in SEAsia--despite a poor result in standardized testing and a college record that would ordinarily disqualify a candidate from pilot training. There is *plenty* of reason to think that GWB might have been "influenced" into the TANG and flight training.

By the way, POTUS is the Commander IN Chief of the U.S. armed forces, not Commander AND Chief. Talk about "how little people know about the military"!

Link?

That Trump refuses to allow the WH flag to fly at half staff in respect to McCain shows you all you need to know about that horrible man.

Yeah he's fighting, idiot magas. Just ask what he is fighting for and whether that is your fight too.

to be accurate, WH flags did fly at half mast for a few hours - less than normal.

And there has been and will be no official WH statement about McCain.

He didn't allow the flag to fly half-staff for a single business day and refused to say anything about McCain in any honorable mention.

I wonder how that will play when Arizona votes to replace Jeff Flake in November?

McCain's seat will be appointed by the governor of Arizona and it has to be a Republican by rule since McCain was.

That will open up for a special election two year term in 2020.

Trump is so petty it's ridiculous.

And selfish and classless and clueless and unethical and immoral and cowardly and uncivil and pandering and disingenuous and... there are not enough negative adjectives to describe Trump, his henchmen and his legion of like-minded goose-steppers.

Meanwhile, the economy continues to boom and the stock market hits record highs today, as US and Mexico are close to resolve trade issues, which gets us closer to a NAFTA deal.

Dow breaks 26000!!!!!

Democrats lose again!!!!!

The stock market peaked in January and had been down all year.

Your record highs are basically a net gain of 0-1% on the year.

And real wage growth is pretty anemic.

Most people going to the polls aren't reading about corporate profits, they are looking at their paycheck and what they can buy with it.

I will say that the continued low unemployment is very good for people.

Trump needs to stop making negative headlines with dumb tweets and vindictive comments and just let the good economic news speak for itself.

And people are still nervous about where is tariffs and proposed trade deals will go.

As for McCain, it would be so easy to do a simple tweet that said he was a good man and don't raise the flag back up for a few days.

Small and steady economic gains don't inspire people to come back out and vote for the president.

We learned that with Obama. His last 6 years saw positive employment gains every single month and good corporate profits, but he lost the House in 2010 and the Senate on 2014 despite those positive economic trends.

Hate inspires people to vote. Complacency doesn't.

People hate Trump.

They keep talking about her, but Hillary is not on the ballot.

Unless we have mandatory voting, elections will be more affected by who is pissed off and want too vote than by any policies.

I see the announcement of a tentative deal with Mexico and then the next step would be to pursue one with Canada.

Trump wants to get rid of the term NAFTA.

Could you please summarize the new deal and explain how it would be better than the NAFTA agreement that was originally in place.

It's like a sugar high. Your Orange Moran blew a trillion-plus dollar hole in the budget and has very little to do with the economic improvement. President Barack Obama was responsible for saving America from a horrible recession caused by his predecessor.

Only the DJIA peaked in January; however, it has gone above 26000 for the first time since January and is riding an uptrend. You failed to mention the broader indices such as the SPY, QQQ, NASDAQ and IWM which ARE at record highs.

Thanks Obama.

NAFTA -- yet one more thing Obama f-ed up that Trump came in and fixed.

Obama (10 years ago, nothing was ever done): "I would immediately, uh, call, uh, the President of Mexico, the President of Canada, to try to, uh, amend NAFTA because I think that we can get labor agreements in that, uh, agreement right now."

Trump: "Done. Next."
