Kamala Harris ✔ @KamalaHarris

You are attacking a decorated Army colonel.

Alexander Vindman served in the Iraq War. You serve yourself.

He received a Purple Heart. You're receiving subpoenas.

Unlike you, he has a sense of duty to this country. He is a patriot. You are a disgrace.

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

Supposedly, according to the Corrupt Media, the Ukraine call “concerned” today’s Never Trumper witness. Was he on the same call that I was? Can’t be possible! Please ask him to read the Transcript of the call. Witch Hunt!

1. She pulls no punches.

6. Can you imagine a debate

between Harris and trump. He would be "Running away Crying, Whimpering, and Screaming" by the time she got done with him.

[oldsoftie]

2. Love it. Only wish she'd have tossed in "5 time draft dodger" too!

To me, THAT is a stinger for his base as well as him. He cant defend it without looking like a bigger liar

3. Napoleon Boneyspurs Got A Purple Heart...

...by clogging it up with junk food grease.

21. Please do NOT compare this total POS

to Napoleon in ANY way!

Napoleon Bonaparte was a talented leader and a totally self-made man, not someone who inherited a fortune from his father and thought that he had hit a home run.

Yes, Napoleon got caught up in his own hubris at the end. Nevertheless, he was undeniably brilliant AND he left many good things behind. Interestingly enough, one country besides France that remembers him positively is Slovenia (Melania's native country!) where there is a statue erected in his honor in Ljubljana, the capital.

Remember also that much of what we in the English-speaking world know about him is the UK version. They were, of course, no fans whatsoever.

See, e.g., Napoleon's Legacy: https://www.pbs.org/empires/napoleon/n_politic/legacy/page_1.html
One of his greatest and most lasting accomplishments was in implementing a Civil Code, aka a Rule of Law, which still applies today in France and many of its former colonies. The Napoleonic Code is still the rule of law in Louisiana today. If anything, 45 has done nothing but try to destroy our own - and international - rule of law.

And What made Napoleon a Great Leader? http://discerninghistory.com/2015/07/what-made-napoleon-a-great-leader/

The qualities enumerated and expanded upon in this article are: Always Learning; Good General; Efficient Orangizer; Brilliance; Good Government; Convincing Propaganda; and Popular Charisma. Only the propaganda part could perhaps apply to the Great Grifter.

From the second link:

...
These factors gave him incredible popularity in France. People still loved him even after his downfall. For years Napoleonic memorabilia was banned in France, but people still smuggled it in. One of my ancestors was a soldier under Napoleon, one of his Old Guard. He immigrated to America after Waterloo, but he still said that if he heard that Napoleon had turned to France, he would drop his new life and return to Europe to fight under his old commander.

Downfall

It was these seven characteristics that allowed Napoleon Bonaparte to achieve one of the most remarkable careers in the world. However, as he grew older, his abilities began to fade. He gained a lot weight, his health began to decline, and with it, his capacity for work. His pride and belief in his own destiny began to push him into wars he was not able to win, and his force of character turned into stubbornness. Although the older Napoleon was not the same as his younger self, he was still a force to be reckoned with. Even after he was defeated by the coalition, he escaped from the island of Elba, and in the Hundred Days regained control of France before being finally defeated at the Battle of Waterloo.

Whatever else he was, Napoleon was also a great man. The total POS who currently occupies the WH is a petty and hollow toddler.

*************
I am no fan of dictators. But Napoleon does deserve better than being linked with 45 in ANY way.

5. Trump actually received a Purple Heart too.

Today, a Donald Trump supporter handed him a Purple Heart. Trump’s flippant and repugnant reply: “I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.”

[PatrickforO]

11. Ughhh! He is SUCH a jerk. n/t

[mcar]

7. Kick!

[hibbing]

8. I thought all anti-trumpers were "human scum"

I wonder why he didn't drop that sobriquet on him.


Peace

[volstork]

9. KH has

ZERO fucks to give.

(I love that.)

[PatrickforO]

10. I do like Harris! I'm supporting Warren because as an economist I like her policies best,

but Harris would make a fine nominee.

[patphil]

12. Kamala Harris is amazing!

[generalbetrayus]

13. Kamala Harris is like Donald Trump brand toilet paper -

She don't take shit offa nobody!

[demigoddess]

14. I am really liking her lately. Keep going Kamala!

[karin_sj]

15. Hear hear!

Right on all counts!

[Rebl2]

16. Mr Vindman received

A Purple Heart while you Mr dumpster trash Trump received multiple deferments. You are an embarrassment.

[Perseus]

17. Well done! That is the only way that should be responded to the jackass in the WH

What a scum that guy is...

[Catch2.2]

18. More Dems need to be saying this!

If this was reversed, the Repukes would be all over this, screaming how dare the Dems attack a decorated military man. They would paint the Dems as not patriotic. The Dems need to be more vocal! Call the Repukes out over this. Make them go on air and say that they were wrong for attacking him.

[peggysue2]

19. Great Smackdown!

"He received a Purple Heart. You're receiving subpoenas."

Go for the throat. Good one on Kamala.

[calimary]

20. Yes!

[Peacetrain]

22. Hats off everyone!!

Well done Senator Harris.. well done

[JoeDuck]

23. Good sound byte, but ...

She gets off good dingers in her sound bytes and probably would do well in a debate against Trump. I'm not sure how that translates into being a great president, which is what we expect when we elect our eventual nominee.

[MoonRiver]

24. Hahaha, I love how clever she is!

[BeckyDem]

25. lol +100

[Funtatlaguy]

26. Classic.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

She will go after Trump and his cohorts in CORRUPTION. Every damn one of them.

[Andy823]
