As a veteran, having the Commander-in-Chief blow off the traditional honoring of the fallen because, y'know, he's Donald Trump and that's what he does, is really demonstrating what a self-centered prick he is.

Probably pouting 'cause he didn't get his parade.

As they evidence daily with their submissive groveling, their stupefying silence in the face of his pissing on America's veterans, POWs and Gold Star Families, and the G.O.P.'s cowardly refusal to defend or protect America from the documented Acts of War perpetrated - and still being perpetrated - by Donny's darkside crony, Poo T. Poot and the f*cking kremlin.

There is no true conservative left in the Republican Party--only right wing radicals.

surely? Thinking of extreme cruelty to children as a deliberate policy, for instance. Shocking how the speed of shifting ideology to that of new leaders and what they now support was approximately the same speed with with prior bad leaders were replaced with the worst one yet.

ITEM: Dick CHEENEE chanting "Help is on the way!1" to fake out the military during Coup 2000;

ITEM: What they did to John KERRY.

ITEM: Starting phoney wars for their propaganda purposes.

ITEM: Back to SHITLER, all the *many* dishonorings.

The US military is also brainwashed to vote Republican, regardless of who is President. With evangelical (the largest R base) pastors on bases pressuring conversion, Rush Limpballs exclusive radio broadcasting on army bases, and decades long conditioning about the Godless liberal Democrats that hate the military, and of course....Benghazi!!!

If Republican voters can separate character, honesty, even godliness, from their list of requirements, then the mostly right wing military can easily separate Trump from their family's traditional party. Remarkable that Republican voters can switch both ways if need be. They can vote Trump while grumbing about House and Senate R's not doing enough for them. Then they can pivot and vote straight ticket R even though Trump has spit on their service.

I've tried to put this into context with right wing relatives, how they were so concerned with the "integrity" of the office back then, and comparing it to what is happening now.

No luck at all.
