    Now the religious Right adores a thrice-married cad and casual liar. But it is not alone. Historians and psychologists of the martial virtues salute the bone-spurred draft-dodger whose Khe Sanh was not catching the clap. Cultural critics who deplored academic fads and slipshod aesthetics explicate a man who has never read a book, not even the ones he has signed. Followers of Harry Jaffa, the most important Lincoln scholar of the last 60 years, rally round a Republican who does not know why the Civil War happened. Straussians, after leaving the cave, find themselves in Mar-a-Lago. Econocons put their money on a serial bankrupt.

    Obama had already sank the economy with part time and service jobs that wouldn't even support one person, much less a family. It's those high taxes and all those regulations that chased millions of jobs right out of the country. The rich got rich off that and we got poorer. The rich are still getting rich on the tax breaks, but now so are we, with better paying jobs, bonuses, pay raises and benefits.

    Trump would have gotten his own azz killed same as the P/E coach and the football coach did, both without weapons.

    Didn't look like he moved away from this jackass.

    I'd flinch if Freedom came at me too.

    I am pretty sure he would never get you to be in agreement with anything he said and the rest of us are pretty content with things as they are so we all may till 2025 to hear President Pence give a news conference.

    Yeah, he might actually get to using a 5th grade vocabulary after all. Who'd a thunk it?

    I don't believe for a minute, cadet bone spurs would have the courage to take on the shooter without a weapon or with a weapon?!!

    Trump, Who Cited Bone Spurs To Avoid Military Service, Claims He Would Have Fought Off Parkland Shooter Without A Weapon[​IMG]

    WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump on Monday suggested that he would have personally fought off the school shooter at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School even while not armed, despite the fact that he previously deferred military service due to bone spurs in his foot.

    “I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon, and I think most of the people in this room would have done that too,” he said during a White House event with the nation’s governors.

    Trump was referring to criticism against law enforcement officials, including an armed guard at the school who failed to swiftly respond to the gun massacre in Parkland, Florida, earlier this month.

    When later asked to clarify Trump’s comments, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders claimed that he didn’t actually mean that he would “run in” to the school.

    “I think he was just stating that as a leader, he would have stepped in and hopefully been able to help,” she said.

    Trump has previously expressed disgust for seeing blood, saying that “it’s just not my thing.”

    “I’m not good for medical. In other words, if you cut your finger and there’s blood pouring out, I’m gone,” he told radio host Howard Stern in 2008.

    In the same interview, he went on to describe a charity event at his Mar-a-Lago resort, during which he looked away when a man fell off the stage and started bleeding.

    “He was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him … he’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible,” Trump said. “You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed color. Became very red.”

    Last week, Trump proposed that one of the solutions to the nation’s epidemic of school shootings should involve arming teachers, and that teachers who receive training to carry a weapon at school should receive a pay bonus.

    “A teacher would have shot the hell out of him before he knew what happened,” the president said Friday while addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference.

    Earlier Monday, Florida attorney general and Trump ally Pam Bondi (R), similarly claimed that she would have gone after the shooter without a weapon.

    “If I was there, and I didn’t have a firearm, I would have gone into that scene. That’s what you do,” she said on “Fox & Friends.”

    He was talking about his pants, not the building.

    But then I didn't know he was a bowling champion. That changes everything! That takes a man with some big balls.

    Was about 48 years ago. We were on patrol in the bush in Indian country.

    We were taking a cigarette break when we were just as surprised as four or six VC were surprised when they walked into us.

    They took off running while we grabbed our M-16's to go into pursuit. One Marine in panic misplaced his M-16 and grabbed his entrenching tool and charged at the fleeing VC who were armed with AK-47's and SKS rifles..

    We were all kinda laughing.
