Trump got six deferments because of bone spurs in his foot. Now he can't remember which foot it was. He equates his time spent in military school to actually serving in the military. Don Jr and Eric have never served.

Janmcn, what branch of the military did you serve in?

Your cousin sounds like a stand-up guy. How about yourself? Did you enlist or get drafted? How about your kids? Did they enlist? How about Trump or his kids?

Yes, I enlisted and served my 3 years.

I thought they served 4 years...

You are aware there is no draft anymore, right...or are you suggesting any able bodied man that does not serve is a pu$$y?

Of course your not, that would be sexist of you...

You thought who served 4 years in the military? None of the Trump family was in the military.

Waiting to hear from Rubicon since he brought up military service.

How about some of the others on Political Forum - Don Baldwin, MDLBQ, Buffalo Jim? Military service? How long and when?

You mean socialism where the public joins together with public tax dollars and creates parts of our society like:

(1) State and federal highway system
(2) The United States Armed Forces
(3) Medicare
(4) Social Security
(5) Sheriff's and Police Department
(6) Local Fire Department and Emergency Services
(7) Public libraries
(8) US Postal Service
(9) Bridges construction
(10) Public landfills
(11) Garbage collection
(12) Fighting of wars
(13) Student loans and grants
(14) Farm subsidies
(15) Corporate bailouts for those too big to fail
(16) Museums
(17) Public schools
(18) Jails and prisons
(19) Veterans health care
(20) Sewers
(21) The Court System
(22) The G. I. Bill
(23) Dams and rural electrical service
(24) Public beaches and golf courses
(25) The FDA
(26) Public transportation
(27) PBS
(28) The Center for Disease Control and Prevention
(29) Street lighting
(30) FEMA
(31) NPR
(32) Public defenders
(33) Homeland Security and TSA
(34) Air Traffic Control System
(35) The White House and all state and federal agencies

to name just a few that I would prefer to have remain in the government control of a socialist system rather than be run by a private, for profit, entity. Call me a Progressive, but that's the way I want it to stay. How about you?

What do conservatives want, oligarchic fascism? I sincerely doubt it.

Excellent post, that will be quickly dismissed by Regressives.


They aren't even smart enough to know, that calling someone 'progressive'...is a huge compliment.

Given that this country became great because of 'progress/progressive thinking'...it's unfathomable why they take such delight in being known as 'regressive.' :ohdear:
