We need to take the House and get rid of Trump and Pence. We're in great danger.

(16,785 posts)3. What did Trump say about John McCain?
Oh yeah...."He's not a war hero. He got captured. I happen to like people who don't get captured."
And of course, Trump is going to make sure he and he alone, get all the credit for the release of these 3 Americans of Korean ancestry.

US envoy to Vietnam quit in protest at Trump plan to deport thousands of refugees
Ted Osius says administration asked him to press Vietnam to accept the deportees, who had mostly fled to America after 1975

The former US ambassador to Vietnam has said he resigned last year in opposition to a Trump administration plan to deport more than 8,000 Vietnamese people, most of whom are refugees.
Ted Osius, who worked in the US foreign services for 30 years, said the Trump administration asked him to press Vietnams government to accept the deportees who had mostly fled the country after the fall of Saigon in 1975.
The majority targeted for deportation sometimes for minor infractions were war refugees who had sided with the United States, whose loyalty was to the flag of a nation that no longer exists, Osius wrote in an essay for the Foreign Service Journal this month.
And they were to be returned decades later to a nation ruled by a communist regime with which they had never reconciled. I feared many would become human rights cases, and our government would be culpable.

Yes, sling the horseshit back at him. With the Net, we all have a wayback machine and it's easy to resurrect the Trumpster's Greatest Hits.
