No, and knowing who it is, I would say he was reacting to the tragedy itself, not the post.

Then I apologise for jumping to conclusions. Aren't I an a$$h@!e  :lol:

Apparently some MAGA douchebag thinks picking fights with dead war heros is just what the country needs right now.

I think I made it clear before that I respect the office of President of the United States of America. That being said, Donald Trump is a complete and verified piece of s#!t.

McCain had flaws and he made some big mistakes, those are fair game to talk about. I think the Senator would even poke fun of those miatakes and himself, but he is one of the most courageous and honorable men to ever serve this country in the military and the government. Donald will never be a sixteenth of the man John McCain was. He hasn't the slightest clue what selfless service is, or even an ounce of intelligence when it come to history (two of McCain's best attributes). The fact that only one person in the GOP is speaking up is disgusting. This party is dead and needs to fade into the annals of history.

I genuinely don't understand blind support of presidents, or really any political candidate for that matter. His track record on his campaign promises/goals is woefully inept.

- Has compromised on Medicare cuts, although he said he wouldn't cut Medicare

- The wall is going nowhere

- Hasn't made a commission to address radical Islam

- Compromised on immigration i.e. DACA/DAPA

The list goes on. He's has had very little true success on his major goals, the majority of them have either been compromises against what he promised or what he promised is likely not to happen.

He's had quite an astonishing slew of losses in the courts, too:


 

Trump is losing so much in court that allies are getting tired of it

The Washington Post’s Fred Barbash and Deanna Paul are out with a must-read analysis of the Trump administration’s losses in federal courts, which now number 63 in about two years — a number that notably includes multiple losses on some individual actions. One former longtime aide in the Justice Department’s civil division said that in his 30 years of service, it was an unprecedented amount of losing. And even advocates of the kind of regulatory reform Trump has undertaken are dumbfounded by how the administration could lose so much, and actually deserve to.

From the linked article in that paragraph:

Federal judges have ruled against the Trump administration at least 63 times over the past two years, an extraordinary record of legal defeat that has stymied large parts of the president’s agenda on the environment, immigration and other matters.

In case after case, judges have rebuked Trump officials for failing to follow the most basic rules of governance for shifting policy, including providing legitimate explanations supported by facts and, where required, public input.

Many of the cases are in early stages and subject to reversal. For example, the Supreme Court permitted a version of President Trump’s ban on travelers from certain predominantly Muslim nations to take effect after lower-court judges blocked the travel ban as discriminatory.

But regardless of whether the administration ultimately prevails, the rulings so far paint a remarkable portrait of a government rushing to implement far-reaching changes in policy without regard for long-standing rules against arbitrary and capricious behavior.

“What they have consistently been doing is short-circuiting the process,” said Georgetown Law School’s William W. Buzbee, an expert on administrative law who has studied Trump’s record. In the regulatory cases, Buzbee said, “they don’t even come close” to explaining their actions, “making it very easy for the courts to reject them because they’re not doing their homework.”

Two-thirds of the cases accuse the Trump administration of violating the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), a nearly 73-year-old law that forms the primary bulwark against arbitrary rule. The normal “win rate” for the government in such cases is about 70 percent, according to analysts and studies. But as of mid-January, a database maintained by the Institute for Policy Integrity at the New York University School of Law shows Trump’s win rate at about 6 percent.

Not only is Trump failing to follow through on these promises because he can't win in court, he can't win in court primarily because his legal teams are completely inept.

MAGA, indeed.

Another reason it’s important to not elect buffoons like Trump who can stack the courts with buffoon judges. Year 7 of Trump and more of his crap might pass.

Why is it all the whackos in P&R are the same? They come in spouting extreme right wing garbage talking points. Next they throw out terrible sources. Then site crazy conspiracies. Next they tone it down and act friendly. Then they ask where all their reasonable like minded conservatives brothers are. Finally they begin the cycle again.

Because they’re all the same person.

Unfortunately that’s probably not true. Trump got elected for a reason, and it’s not because people like this are all trolls. There are plenty of real people like this.

I’m of the belief that you can’t be a Trump support unless you’re stupid, a hypocrite, a psychopath, a racist, a mysoginist, or some combination of the above.

I think most of them are the same person, or the same couple of people.

And if you want to get extremely tin-foil hattish, you could consider that it's part of a concerted effort of influence on social media. Which is one of the reasons I wish the Mods would have a quicker trigger on people spouting obviously nonsensical garbage in P&R.

I assume many are the same person and the rest might be friends with other posters here.

I've come to the same conclusion.

Who among us can forget the time-tested phrase "Campaign in poetry and govern in bullsh#t."

It's almost like they're a bunch of dopes who think they can wave a magic stick and have whatever they want just because they're in charge.

I am a Trump supporter. Do I support everything he does? No, I do not.

But just because he is president doesn't mean he can just do whatever. Many people, not you Enhance, think '"well the president isn't doing xyz so he must no be trying hard enough." This is known as the Green Lantern Theory, and in America, we have checks and balances for a reason. To prevent the president from doing dictator things or just making things happen because he tries harder and potentially leads to him doing more than he is supposed to. 

Some of the stuff he does is good for America, others he does to inflate his ego and show people up. I would rather he stick to what is best for America rather than show up the press etc.  I enjoyed his tax plan as that put more money back in Americans pockets. So with all of this, yes the president cannot keep all of his promises. He tried to get new Medicare and it failed and I am still disappointed the wall is not at least starting to get built yet(people can get in crossing over a wooden log in a small part of the border with Mexico, that is a problem). However, I never will blindly support a candidate or become so attached to them that they become my idol. Politics is becoming too divisive in this country and we need to find some middle ground to agree on and do what is best for America and not what is best for the Political Party, Washington, etc. End long rant.

You only think Trump is evil based on crap the left has fed you.  I did answer your question and also will say those indictments have not a thing to do with Trump, yet YOU CHOSE to associate this as an indictment AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP!   Dream on!  You leftist uni-party rats have lost this!  Period end of story!  Except now the people that started this should be held accountable!  That's going to be a hard pill to swallow for the all the anti President Trump crowd!

Italics - How can someone be this f#&%ing stupid? People think this about Trump because of the things he says and does.

And to the bolded - can we just ban the moron already?
