Trump criticizes father whose son died protecting Trump's freedoms

[someoneyouknow]

I was waiting for the Ego to come out and attack and he hasn't let me down. It wasn't bad enough that Khizir Khan lost his son in Iraq protecting Trump's freedoms, Trump now claims that him getting a $1 million loan from daddy so he could start his business is the same as a father having sacrificed his son to protect the country.

"I think I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard." (said Trump)

Also, Trump seems to think that a wife who says nothing while her husband gives a speech is somehow not allowed to speak or has nothing to say, which is quite odd because while Trump is up giving speeches with his lying wife at his side, she never says anything either.

So to all you cheerleaders of soldiers, just remember, working very, very hard is the same thing as dying for your country according to Donald.

This guy really is the most disgusting scumbag.


Only people who hate America and all of his values would vote for Putin's Puppet.

Yea he is.

Unfortunately same can be said for Clinton.

 

[Adre]

He's a very small man.

 

[Purifier]

Yes and no.

She obviously is of rather questionable character.

But would she bring America on the brink of civil war if elected?
Would she hand over everything Americans fought and died for in World Wars I and II to Putin's Russia?
Would she abolish all the freedoms the American Revolution were fought for?

In my opinion the answer is a clear no.

Ask the same questions about Donald Trump and the answer is yes.

Hillary Clinton would be just another rather mediocre president. Trump on the other hand might well be the death blow to American democracy.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Yes and no.

That's a matter of topics, as in they are scummy in different areas but both at the bottom of the barrel.

Overall it's really a draw imo.

She obviously is of rather questionable character.

But would she bring America on the brink of civil war if elected?

I think that's rather unlikely for either candidate.

Would she hand over everything Americans fought and died for in World Wars I and II to Putin's Russia?

In a fucking heartbeat....if the price is right.

Would she abolish all the freedoms the American Revolution were fought for?

She's already seeking to destroy a number of them.

1st, 2nd and 10th amendment are point blank bigger than all shit on her hit list.

I suspect she supports further destruction of the 4th and 6th as well.

In my opinion the answer is a clear no.

Then I think you might want to review her political history.

Ask the same questions about Donald Trump and the answer is yes.

He wouldn't start a civil war any more than Hillary would, but I wouldn't be anymore shocked of him selling us out than I would Hillary.

Hillary Clinton would be just another rather mediocre president. Trump on the other hand might well be the death blow to American democracy.

She would be a lame one, who will let all her ubercorp goon buddies fuck America up the ass for as much money as they can.

Why would he be the death blow to American democracy (which doesn't really exist) ??

Oh bullshit. Stop with the fear mongering. Every time a Democrat takes the presidency all we hear is, "They're gonna take your guns!" and yet nothing ever comes of it except the gun companies make more money.

She isn't going to do anything and you know it.

I suspect she supports further destruction of the 4th and 6th as well.

At least you're admitting Bush all but destroyed both Amendments during his term and gloated about it. Considering Bush made everyone a criminal and signed the PATRIOT Act which allowed police to enter anyone's home without a warrant not to mention forcing phone companies to install taps at their switching stations, if anyone was going to destroy the 4th it would be him under the guise of "protecting the country" the way he "protected the country" from the worst terrorist attacks in U.S. history.

So she doesn't want to ban my AR15's? AK's? Semi auto anything with more than 10 rounds?

I am 100% certain without looking anything up that she's hugely anti 2A. It's one of the larger reasons (D)'s support her and a major point of her campaign.

If you really want to I can go all the way back to the early 90's where she's supporting of gun bans. Ones that didn't work and she still supports no less....and list them.

Shes got THOUSANDS of anti-gun quotes I can pull up.

Yep...and the (D)'s cried bloody fuckin' hell about how horrible that was.

Until Obama re-upped it and started using it to drone strike US citizens.... then PATRIOT act was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

If you did look it up, you'd notice that Clinton ran against Obama as a pro-gun candidate in the ancient yesteryear of 2008. She was also against marriage equality even more recently than that.

In short, Hillary Clinton has no legitimate political convictions. She'll say whatever polls well and do whatever money tells her. In this case, gun control polls well with a supermajority of Americans and Michael Bloomberg is giving her wing of the Democratic Party--i.e. the corporatist neoliberal wing--millions of dollars to support the astroturf group he's using to build the political infrastructure of his inevitable presidential run.

And before that she was hugely anti gun when hubby was passing the Brady Bill and assault weapons ban.

She was less anti gun than Obama. She's never really been pro gun.

110% agree

Right, and for a year now it's been one call for an assault weapons ban after another.

Who were and are supporting terrorists out to attack the U.S. If you're a traitor to your country you shouldn't expect to receive a pillow to lay your head upon.

.... then PATRIOT act was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Which of course had nothing to do with drone strikes against enemies. It was only against U.S. citizens and yes, since Republicans didn't have a problem with the PATRIOT Act it was obviously a good thing to have. You can't claim because Obama used it that suddenly it's horrible when Republicans were the ones jumping all over it to show how much they wanted to protect this country after they failed do it in the first place.

Yeaaa cheer (D) doing what you condemn (R) for.

But Bush doing it is HORRIBLE!!!!! OHHHHHHH HUMAN RIGHTS!! DIVERSITY!!

Obama does it and does it bigger.

What do democrats do?

LOL

. You can't claim because Obama used it that suddenly it's horrible.

I'm not....I've thought it bad from day 1 and still do today.

You and the (D)'s are the ones who suddenly LOVE the PATRIOT act now that Obama has re-upped it, expanded it's power (destruction of civil rights) and used it to kill American citizens without due process.

If the man had an (R) in front of his name (D)'s would have FREAKED THE FUCK OUT.

 

[talis13]

False equivalency. But nice try. They are not even close to the same.

 

[Boxlicker101]

Probably the nicest thing I have said about Trump is that he is an asshole. I haven't changed my mind about that, but Hillary is a total incompetent. Almost a year ago, I said if these two win their party nominations, they will represent the worst pair of candidates ever nominated by the major parties. Now I think they are the two worst ever, as individuals, not as a pair. Hopefully, some nut will interrupt the first debate and bump them both off, but that is probably too much to hope for.

 

[Ramone45]

I have the utmost respect for this family who lost their son in the war. However, may I say that they are being exploited by the democrats and the media for political gain? Isn't it expected that their political statements are going to be challenged? Are they totally untouchable because they lost their son in the war? And I realize the republicans did it with parents of the Benghazi victims as well.
It is disgraceful to exploit these wonderful people like this. I wish I knew the Behind-the-scenes story about this.
Did the campaign search these people out? Did the family approach the campaign and offer to speak?
I would advise the republican campaign to express the deepest gratitude to this family on their loss of their son in the war. I would acknowledge their right to their opinion. I would express a desire to have the opportunity to prove them wrong, and that would be it. The less said the better.
It's never "what happens". It's "what happens next".

Of course their political statements can be challenged. That isn't what happened.

Trump was way out of line with personal disparaging comments aimed at the couple, for which there is no excuse.

The Gold Star program is a voluntary support network for families who have suffered a military loss. It can provide opportunities for members to have their voices heard, which is exactly what happened in this case.

I don't want to give the impression that I support the republican's actions in any way. They handled this wrong.
The soldier's dad said the republican had "a dark soul".
It doesn't get much more personal than that.

Sorry.. Trump says far worse about others and then cries foul when other do it. "They don't know me!" Jesus we know as much about him as Kim K. He's a media whore. Ummm.. Sorry Kim.. But you too!

 

[FknNemesis]

I think the Kahns' speech should be tried as a campaign TV commercial in states such as Arizona and Texas.

I think there's big points to be scored and after the counter attacks I don't think the father will object either. Seems he is on a mission ever since the Donald retorted.

 

[dan_c00000]

Oh please no Democrat would ever ban the Second Amendment and if you believe that you're a bigger fucking moron than I thought you were.

 

[BotanyBoy]

They would if they could.

And they still want to ban most guns....which makes them anti 2A rights the same way banning certain words/phrases/forms of expression are anti free speech/1A.

Sorry, your girl is a Bush level hater of civil rights because she's a NeoLib scum bag.

Grow the fuck up

Regulate certain guns and how they are used. Deal with it! You can't own a bazooka though I am sure you might want one. The rest of the world knows the US is insane when our gun deaths are in 4 figures per year and most countries can't get themselves to three figures.

Course.. I will be begging for your help when the zombies arrive... Or perhaps you will want to borrow my 22 when your ammunition runs out.

Trump wants to end "freedom of the press" with respect to himself.. Of course he will deny this soon enough or blame a flu kid who is actually trying to work for a living. He thinks there is twelfth article of the Constitution or.. was he thinking 12th amendment ?

"Nothing to fear but fear itself" .. to...
Fear fear!! Vote for me! I will save you
ISIS is winning its war of terror thane in YUGE part to Comrad Trump (Drumpf)

 

[BotanyBoy]

Yea I do, more so than most. That doesn't mean (D)'s prohibition agenda isn't anti 2A.

Oh and "shall not be infringed" DEAL WITH IT!!

You can't own a bazooka

Yes I can, it's called a destructive device tax stamp.

That's how I own 40mm grenade launchers and machine guns.

Must not know very much about gun laws in this country, here....educate yourself.

though I am sure you might want one. The rest of the world knows the US is insane when our gun deaths are in 4 figures per year and most countries can't get themselves to three figures.

I don't care what they think....they can ALL suck my asshole.

when your ammunition runs out.

LMFAO!!! that's cute.

Trump wants to end "freedom of the press" with respect to himself..

And Hillary gets to walk on felonies because Obama DOJ....what's your point?

Or the beginning of democracy.
