Trump to widow of Sgt. La David Johnson: 'He knew what he signed up for'

[Anonymous]

So women are only valuable because they can give birth?

Handmaid's tale here we come!

While W made mistakes during his Administration, at no time did I ever fear for the future of our country because he was selling it out to foreign advisories.

I thought things were very bad during W. I thought Chaney and Karl Rove were both very dangerous. This is a whole different ball of wax, what we are dealing with now.

And W has changed since he left office - that is also true. Not being president, he is a much better person than he was as president. Being an ex-president suits him well, and suits us well, too.

Please link the post. So far, there has just been word salad of things that have happened over the past 9 months, but none of it, other than Keystone, is a direct result of anything Trump did.

+1. And someone indicated that Keystone promoted American energy independence and would result in 80,000 jobs, when both claims are laughably absurd.

Does Kelly not realize he's working for someone who brags about grabbing pussies and spent last summer attacking a Gold Star family? If these things are no longer sacred, he bears a part in it through his role as chief of the adult daycare.

He thought of women as sacred and then calls a woman an empty barrel. Guess Trumps view of women has rubbed off on him. Pathetic.

A democratic congressman that exploited a dead soldier for politics

She is probably a friend of Hillary and DWS

Except she was right about everything. And has the support of the family. Waiting for the proof.

Admittedly, I'm a fairly conservative voter and like all the Bushes; but I've always thought he was unfairly demonized. He comes across as a really decent, caring, "people person."

Wrong, Trump is the one who started using Gold Star recipients for political purposes, first last summer and then this week. He has no respect for the institution. All the Congressman did was correct a falsehood told by the President, and for that, both the president and the Chief of Staff vilified her. Both have been proven, in fact, wrong.

It is only the truly partisan Trumpeters who think this is ok.

Wait. Did Patricia Smith make public a private phone call made to another person? I missed it if she did.

The complaint was politicizing the death of service people. Are you denying the GOP did this with Ms. Smith?

What! It's the Dems who are politicalicizing this. Quit lying. What do you liberals want?? You wanted him to call the soldiers families and he did. He did the best he could. I really don't know what more you guys want sometimes. Quit nitpicking so much and maybe he would be more calm.

Yep, he's a real gem. It's a shame about the million Iraqis he killed, but who doesn't slip up every now and again, amirite?

Turns out 'the best he could' is far below the minimum standard of a decent human being, much less the President.

I don't get this arguement - that somehow we should reduce the demands of the job because we elected someone incompetent. No. The job requirements are the job requirements - the President simply isn't capable of meeting them.

And this:

Quit nitpicking so much and maybe he would be more calm.

Is the language abusers use. "If you just didn't make me angry I wouldn't hit you." Trump is not the victim here. It is not our responsibility to refrain from criticism in order to keep him calm. Criticism comes with the job - it is HIS responsibility to remain calm in the face of it.

As for what I want: a President with a minimum level of normal human compassion and understanding. I expect that all of people, and certainly of my elected leaders or those asking for my respect.

That's what I'm saying!

"When I was a kid, women were sacred and looked upon in great honor," indeed.

As much as I can respect Kelly's tremendous loss, this quote makes me cringe. Women are not "sacred" - we are human beings just like men and need to be respected as such, not put on a pedestal. Back when he was a kid women were looked upon with such great honor they weren't allowed into most professions, made a quarter of what men did, had fewer rights (not being able to get a loan by themselves, for example), and had to deal with as much sexual harassment as they do today. I hate that sort of nostalgic look back at a time when only white men with money were fully able to enjoy all the rights the constitution gives us.

We women have to potential to carry and birth a child.

Men just can't, so no, we aren't the same.

*the potential
That's what he probably meant by "sacred".

Yeah well I'll take being a woman today over being one in the 1950s any day of the week. And I bet most women would too. "honor" means nothing if you are prevented from doing what you want to do in life because you're told it's your sacred duty to bear children. We've still got a long way to go (hello harvey weinstein) but at least the wanted ads no longer say "women need not apply" and it's no longer legal to pay a woman less than a man because he "has to support a family and you don'l." I have no patience with the fake "honoring women" mindset, having come from a conservative Christian background.

Actually she's a friend of the dead soldier and his family and has been for a couple of decades at least.

Tell us, what has Trump ever done that has affected so many people's lives as positively as Rep. Wilson's 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project? Stop slandering a woman who is a force for good in this world, probably doing more good in a year than you have ever done in your entire life.

The deceased soldier was an alumnus of the 5,000 Role Models of Excellence Project, a mentoring program Wilson started for youths pursuing military careers among other fields. So were his brothers. One received a full scholarship to Bethune Cookman College and the other is training to become a firefighter.

Wilson's connection to the family goes back at least one generation. She told CNN that she was the principal of a school that Johnson's father attended.

These relationships were part of why Wilson was with the family — not just because she was “a member of Congress

I want him to act like he cares about people and put them before himself, stop dividing the country, stop lying and Show us his taxes like he promised. Say there are no good Nazis and get his family out of the WH.

This is all his doing
