Point taken on the deferments. I trust you didn't give Obama any ____ over them. College deferments were given due to the contribution degreed Americans could give. As long as they attended class, they didn't have to lie and cheat, in the eyes of their country, they had met their obligation. Until they graduated;
"...I had an educational deferment for 4 years in college, then upon graduation was informed that I was scheduled to be drafted in a couple of months, as did many of my fellow graduates. So much for the myth that only poor, uneducated kids got drafted. I did the honorable thing and enlisted before getting drafted, also so I could control when I had to report..."
I can't blame all the guys that applied for a college deferment. All three presidents used them and I'd probably have done the same. But you must be abe to see the difference between going to college verse faking a medical condition and lying to the Selective Service;
"...“Mr. Trump claimed (his medical deferment) was because of a bone spur, but when I asked for medical records, he gave me none and said there was no surgery,” Cohen told members of the House Oversight Committee..."
You may claim he had a legitimate medical reason, but given his record of honesty and doing the right thing, I think he's lying. He could make his x-rays public, although we'll probably see them about the same time he releases his tax returns. After the government ends its 12 year audit, :roll:, the lying bastard.
Given Don's service record, his BS bravado and continuing to denigrate McCain, a real American hero, shows us just how pathetic he is. Neither Clinton or Obama sunk so low, but for his cult members, it doesn't matter
how low. If he demanded it, I wonder how many would drink the Kool-Aid. Btw, I always try not to be selective in my thought processes, although we know which side of the political spectrum is known for being open minded and which narrow minded.
You're right, as of now the economy is doing great, but what I find it amazing why Repubs would put our country's security at risk in exchange. Obama's may not been as good as it is now, but it wasn't much worst and we didn't have a 12 year old who thinks that following his gut and the morning Fox commentators is the right way to run our country.
His aides won't tell him secrets, least he reveal him to Putin at the next, unrecorded private meeting. We haven't had a Secretary of Defense for six months and why? Because Don knows best, he's a one man show and wants to run the country as he sees fit. The other two branches can go ____ themselves. War with Iran is around the corner. He believes dictators promises over his own country's intelligence. He's not fit for the office, this economy is just not worth the risk.
Maybe more spending on social programs might keep enough homeless off the streets, least tourists from flyover country have to cast their eyes on them and ruin their vacation...
