Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation, criticizing the Draft-Dodging-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Former-President,
after a report surface that he tried to bar a severely wounded veteran from
public appearances during his presidency:
“It’s just the latest in a pattern of outrageous attacks on the
people who keep this country safe. And September puts me in a reflective mood
because it’s actually tomorrow, nine years ago now, that I got back to South
bend after my one tour in Afghanistan. I served with people who did
five, six, seven tours, some of them after being injured. I served with a guy
who had the fin of a rocket go through his triceps … and miraculously the
rocket didn’t blow up and kill him. And he was eager to get back onto his next
tour … I ran into someone I served with who basically had her leg shot off ... and she said to me that the Navy fixed her up just fine and
she went right on into her next assignment. These are the kinds of people who
deserve respect and a helluva lot more than that from every American and
definitely from every American president. And the idea that an American
president, the person to whom service members look as a commander in chief, the
person who sets the tone for this entire country, could think that way or act
that way or talk that way about anyone in uniform, and certainly about those
who put their bodies on the line and sacrificed in ways that most Americans
will never understand … I guess wounded veterans make [him] feel uncomfortable
… But those are exactly the kind of people we should lift up because their
commitment could help unify the country.
And we need voices, whether it’s ordinary people, servicemembers or political
leaders who are interested in unifying not dividing Americans.”
General Mark Milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of
staff, claims Thing 45 was irritated after Luis Avila—who lost a leg and
suffered brain damage after an IED attack in Afghanistan—sang at Milley’s
2019 welcome ceremony:
“Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see
that, the wounded.”
In 2020, it was reported that Inmate
# P01135809 said the Aisne-Marne American cemetery in France—where more
than 2,000 American military members France are buried –was “filled with
suckers” and that the more than 1,800 marines who died at Belleau Wood, a key WWI
battle, were also “suckers” for getting killed.
The Inmate denied the allegations but cannot deny that, in
2015, he claimed that John McCain, the late US senator and navy veteran who
spent nearly six years in a Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp, was a “loser”, adding:
“He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was
captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”
This from a man who never served because his feet hurt.
PS Pete for president!

The GOP knows all about Gaetz, but they need his vote, so they will overlook. Abby's right, it's that small group of delusionists Newty Gingrich shit out that are devouring the Republican party. And everybody, except Republicans, knows the impeachment hearings are pure retaliation and nothing more.
ReplyDeleteThe GOP has turned the House into a complete and utter shit show at a clown circus. But, make no mistake, this is Steve Bannon's Paradise in the making --- and Putin's wet dream. I'd bet that if you dug deep enough you'd find that Putin puts a lot of money in Bannon's pocket. Each time Margery-No-Brains says the Dems are Communists, I'm more convinced the entire brainless MAGgot Caucus is serving Putin and collecting money from him.
ReplyDeleteThey are support Russia because their Hair Furor supports Russia; that speaks volumes.
DeleteThe Repugnant party are trying to indict President Biden just because they can, not because they have any evidence, because of evidence there is none. I wish someone would indict our Prime Minister of fiddling while London and the rest of the country burns.
ReplyDeleteThey have yet to SHOW any evidence and MTG flapping her lips ain't evidence of anything other than her own ignorance.
DeleteIf Mayor Pete were to be Pres I'd like to see Maxwell (Silver Hammer) Frost as Veep - though he's maybe too young right now, if like rules apply as for POTUS?.........(Just a thought!)
ReplyDeleteThat's a Hot Little Nugget Team, sir! And I like it.
DeleteLike Kitara, Gaetz knows the Repugs have the receipts but they will not show them cause they'll lose them both (like the lost Cawthorn, remember?) and they cannot afford that right now. They need the numbers.
ReplyDeletePete *licks* Buttigieg.
There's new blood in the Dem ranks and it seems it's gonna raise good trouble.
XOXO
The GOP is about power not Family Values or protecting children. It's only power.
DeleteAnd yes, these new Dems stepping forward make me happy.
Deletexoxo
PETE FOR PRESIDENT! VOTE 🔵!
ReplyDeleteYes, ma'am.
DeletePete for President!! I'm waiting for the day!!
DeleteI'm eagerly awaiting the new season of the reality show GOP - FIU (f*k it up)
ReplyDeleteThey're their own worst enemies and I'm sure the Dems are quite happy to see it.
They will eat themselves alive in a struggle to take control.
DeleteAnd so the "God Bless America" soap opera continues. There's never a dull week. With each passing month Pete Buttigieg gathers more experience and wisdom that hopefully will propel him into The White House one fine day.
ReplyDeletePete is the good common sense We The People need.
DeleteCongress has become nothing more than a “reality” show. The GOP casts only those with the most idiotic plot lines.
ReplyDeleteIt's like The Kardastrophes in DC ... The Real House Asses of DC ....
Deletethe dog's mother
ReplyDelete"Pete for president!" :-)
xoxo :-)

I think Abby had the mic drop of the week, and she nailed it. And yes mayor Pete needs to run for president.
ReplyDeleteAnd I've only recently become familiar with Jasmine... and I agree we need more Democrats like her.
Yes, Jasmine and Maxwell and Jared Moskowitz all are stepping up and speaking out.
DeleteThis Boomer/GenX Cusperer is loving the "Zero Fucks Dems." The MAGA GOP'ers have thrown away all pretense of polite and respectful political discourse. They need to be confronted and have their shit called out when they fling it like the pack of agitated chimpanzees that they are.
ReplyDeleteYES!!!! 💯
Delete45 is a Draft Dodging Coward, even at his advanced Age he's walking like a Man with zero Foot problems and during the Disco Era he was always at the Clubs and Discos dancing on those alleged Bad Feet that prevented him from Serving his Country. In every way he disgusts me, he needs to FOAD.
ReplyDeleteHe'll get his ... right in the ego and the bank account.
DeleteCome on, young Dems!! We need you to move us all forward.
ReplyDeletePete for President! Yes!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what Trump's parents must have been like, instilling that contempt for military sacrifice and heroism in their son.
