So, you're claiming that Trump disrespected all prisoners of war. Instead, he directly questioned the "hero" status of McCain. And people who were NOT at any poing PoWs but instead just loud idiots went and got offended over it. The same exact people who insulted McCain all day long when he ran for President, and did everything they could as well to try to get his Senate Seat away from him in the meantime. As a person who actually VOTED for McCain in the Senate, all I can say is, get off your soapbox. McCain insulted Trump, Trump insulted him right back, you're acting like a fucking idiot.
Biden was looking at his watch after every body. Like he had somewhere to be. Then, rather than expressing his grief that HIS decisions put those fallen soldiers in those boxes, he made it about HIM because HIS son died in an American hospital from a Cancer completely unrelated to military service at all.
You're reaching so fucking hard to try to paint everything about Trump. Trump LOST. BIDEN is President. BIDEN needs to be held accountable, RIGHT NOW, for PRESIDENT Biden's decisions. Nobody gives a fuck about Trump. This is the JOE BIDEN thread.
McCain at the time was seen as a better alternative to Bush era politics, even if he was never going to get the votes of Obama crazed liberals. and he held the respect of liberals afterwards as well. there's a silly narrative that McCain was only respected by liberals once he opposed Trump, ala Jeff Flake, but this isnt accurate. of course anyone can find loonie lefties degrading McCain during the 2008 run, but that's not exactly a good statistical analysis.
in any case the conversation of who is a more disrespectful commander to the military he oversees between Biden and Trump is very much valid in a Biden OR Trump thread. i tend to think neither is very respectful, that Biden isn't lauded as a respectful commander by many lefties, and that Trump is lauded by righties as god's gift to the military and veterans. despite disrespecting them for nearly his whole life with what i think we can all agree was a bogus draft deferment and mocking statements about that deferment afterwards.
