  1. Trump doesn’t realize how much discipline the rest of the Navy Seals have he is undercutting that discipline. He didn’t have enough discipline to even go into the service so I should keep his nose out of it and go have some more bone spurs on his heels.

    1. He was sent to military school because he kept getting in trouble. He thinks that is the same as serving. He’s wrong.

    1. @Denyze Do you remember after the El Paso shooting, he was standing beside a baby who’d lost both parents in the shooting and Trump is standing there with a big grin on his face and a thumbs up? The man is as crazy and dysfunctional as possible.

  2. Maybe they haven’t heard – Captain Bone Spurs knows best about everything, whether he has a clue what he’s talking about or not.

    1. @Rabble Wolf you know, for a guy who had such a debilitating condition in his youth he sure gets around the golf course pretty well.

    1. @David Park “Cognitive dissonance should’ve set in by now.” It has. It has set in every single Trump supporter by now.

    2. @Tarheelblue63 NC thats what Cohen said that he will die for trump, and guess what yap he did, just wait 4 u r time. Going down budy 😆

  3. About that warfare pin: “Nothing wilts faster than laurels that have been rested upon.” – Percy Bysshe Shelley

    “Above all, we should bear in mind that our liberty is not an end in itself; it is a means to win respect for human dignity for all classes of our society.

    Admiral H.G. Rickover, Father of the US Nuclear Navy
    “Thoughts on Man’s Purpose in Life”. Second Annual Morgenthau Memorial Lecture, Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, 1982.

  4. ..so he backs up this man, yet has no respect for LtCol. Vindman. trump has no moral core values other than fame, greed and delusions of grandeur.

  5. Odd how General Bone Spurs sticking his nose in military’s affairs is the last place he should be butting into…

    1. Yes, the CIC General Bonehead Spurs is using the Chief as a “bribe” to get the military vote. I hope this “drug deal” explodes in his face come 2020..

  6. Trump is trying to bring back honor among criminals. More than anyone else, he understands how cutthroat it can be. It’s the least he can do for other crooks. With people like Sondland and Cohen flipping on him he wants to assure other criminals that they can continue to break the law. As a fellow criminal, he’s got their back.

  7. The bald guy seen with Gallagher and his wife in videos leaving court is no other than Bernard Kerik, a convicted felon. He is the former disgraced Police Commissioner if NY. He was a appointed Commissioner of NY by his close friends Rudy in 2000.

    In 2006 Kerik pleaded guilty in Bronx Supreme Court to two ethics violations, and was ordered to pay $221,000 in fines. Kerik then pleaded guilty in 2009 in the Southern District of New York to eight federal charges, including tax fraud and false statements, and on February 18, 2010, he was sentenced to four years in federal prison.

  8. He understands sir but he is Russian agent what he has to do is weakening American power get him out of White House???

    1. Actually, thats pretty accurate. Former religious ‘leaders’ have explained that the evangelists believe that he is the one who will bring about their kind of ‘rapture’ that will ‘cleanse’ the population and ‘purify’ the earth. This is why they won’t ever go against him no matter what, and believe the lies, ignoring logic and recorded facts. He is THEIR chosen one to fix what they think are the problems with america. Its a symbiotic relationship with white supremacy. And apparently, there’s a LOT more racists in this country than decent, normal people thought. The slooooow progress we thought we were making is being erased. Its some f’ing insane 💩!!
      The only hope is that this scares enough non-voters in red and swing states to get to the polls and stand up for AMERICAN VALUES, and real systematic change, instead of letting this orwellian nightmare administration continue. Every one of their votes counts even more this time!

  9. Single handley destroying honour and credibility of your seals. Without honour your selas are nothing but berserkers and killing machine. What this seal did was a deplorable act and not becoming of an officer …but then again I figure that just represents trumps America

  10. +Rump cut the head off of the US Navy, in order to honor a monster.
    It must have been a day ending in ‘y’.
