What do you think about the female Democratic party representatives who refused to acknowledge the sacrifice of a fallen hero?

@USMCGUY: "Anyone who did not recognize his sacrifice having it presented to them doesn't deserve to live here." Third response to my original post after your response and SweetMae's initial response to my response to your question.

I am also outraged that Trump used the surviving spouse of a fallen hero.

@Steve42: Got it! Thanks for pointing it out. SO many threads here I got confused a second.

@USMCGUY: No worries.

Ms Pelosi and Mrs Warren are done. Mrs Warren got bitch slapped out of possibly being president by Mrs Clinton. What does thst say about a Mrs Warren?

@Jackjjacksonjr: I saw the faces that Warren and Pelosi were making, they didn't even try and hide their disdain. Very unprofessional!

@curiosi: How about very inhuman?

@Jackjjacksonjr: I appreciate that and it may ultimately be what happens. I personally hope that it does not occur. If we as a country can't find even the means to sit down and discuss things then civil war is sure to follow.

If that happens, at least there are bread crumbs of the thread to show other people that not EVERYONE on the right or center is an ass.

I have and will continue to pride myself on being civil. As long as folks remain the same... all is well.

@USMCGUY:

Your intentions are good. Perhaps you will succeed where others have failed. Good luck!

@USMCGUY: [c=#4C0073]Now that last statement I totally agree with [/c]

I'm saving that!😂

Who are you?

@IvanKaramazov: yep, I know what happened.

@IvanKaramazov: Typical vitriol from someone. The question was about what the ladies did and whether or not you found their behavior acceptable. Obviously you find it within norms and justified.

Thanks for the post.

Wasn't expecting rationality from someone with the handle "USMCGUY" and, unsurprisingly, didn't find it.

@StrawberryBecca: I like where you are going with that. Do you have the link to the video instead of a picture? I would be interested in seeing that.

BTW, I am not interested in pushing any kind of lie.

Thanks

Thanks for posting this. I am going to be on the road a while. I will review and get back to you.

Thanks

So can I put you down as your ok with their actions? That was what the question was about.

I think she deserved to be recognized and lifted up for her loss. Her husband was given a meritorious promotion posthumously. The president has spoken to her numerous times and I imagine he will continue to comfort the family.

I believe he feels the loss genuinely.

Just my .02

I understand them, without condoning or condemning. I personally don't think I would have been able to stand and applaud during that moment, but I certainly would have been willing to give that widow a hug and personal condolences on a one-on-one basis. But I'm not a politician or a person who knows one that would ever end up in that room. So what I would do in that situation quite literally doesn't matter.

@UndeadPrivateer: Fair enough. Honest answer for sure.

I wouldn't touch any food made by those hags. It wouldn't be fit for the homeless.

They go in knowing that, I never asked them to do it. The entire world can stop doing things for each other, I'll probably die, but I never expect people to do anything for me.

@MasterLee: The soldier is merely doing their job. It's the commander's job to own up to their responsibility. The soldier knows they could die going into a hot zone, the commander has to also realize that the people they're putting into the path of danger are [i]people[/i] not playthings. If you think we should be throwing away human lives at a whim then I have to highly question both your ethics and whether you have any idea what you're talking about.

@UndeadPrivateer: good to know how you feel about soldiers

[quote]Did she know members of the CBC? Did she schedule a meeting? [/quote]

Again, that's not her job. It's networking if another reporter asks her, not the freaking POTUS. These are members of his government and he's supposed to have already been reaching out to them.

@bijouxbroussard: So what you are saying is reporters, whose job it is to know people and interview them and most likely have connections should never be called on to help the POTUS out? The only way they can interact is through official channels.

Yeah, you didn't answer the question AND it doesn't seem the least bit racist to me. I am sorry but that is going no where.

Seriously, I think if you and I sat down over an IPA we would talk some good shit. I do like that you are reasonably well informed and have an opinion. I can tell you think about things a lot and do your research. What do you do for a living?

@USMCGUY: [quote]I would like to personally thank you for putting words in my mouth. You know exactly what I see when I see a black person. I am not going to give you my resume but for you to even hint that I am racist is laughable. [/quote]

I apologize for that. I don't know you or how you feel about these things, but I've had similar conversations. By itself it doesn't necessarily mean anything. But with Trump it's typical and part of an outgoing pattern with him. You don't see it, his supporters don't. (Incidentally, the CBC sent Trump a letter directly and say he never replied to them)

But he saw the reporter as his "African American" to use to help with his program, as he uses people---like he used that widow.

I neither like nor respect him, and it's not because he's a Republican. I didn't support George W and I thought he was often inept, but I [b]never[/b] thought he was a racist. I'm convinced Trump is, and it goes back to the days when he was getting sued for redlining prospective tenants as a property owner, and continues because of his appointments, like Steve Bannon and Jeff Sessions.

I'm a retiree, college educated, widow.

@Strawberrymilk: Not familiar with this claim.

@Strawberrymilk: Who are you talking about? Details please?
