    1. @Janet Crawford It was a good burn, I’ll give you that, despite the structure but not everyone on line that corrects someone writing is from the US. lol

    2. @Janet Crawford PLEASE EVERYONE LOOK ! this is not Janet Crawford this is a Putin troll that has an empty new bogus account, look for yourself s, Please everyone start calling these scum out they are hurting our democracy .On a basic level it very easy to see with about 90% accuracy by just clicking their name and seeing their account . if it is empty and new or has one thing their that is not normal. Look at your own or people you know are legit and you will see how easy it is to pick them out. Sometimes they will try and justify their empty account but most times they dont even try they just move to another discussion page and try and sow lies. PLEASE people this is no joke start calling them out

  1. How can this *piece of sh_t* we currently call the president command such loyalty that _anybody_ would discredit and dishonor decorated veterans and intelligence personnel who work to keep us safe, in order to side with him???? I will *never* figure that out. 😥😣

    1. @Ted Repp You revere a president who needs a staff of aides to help him tie his shoes in the morning.
      That reflects badly on your own mental capacity.

    2. I’d settle for seeing him and his rank off-spring all in orange-striped jumpsuits for the rest of their pathetic lives and their money given to education, the homeless and new immigrant communities.

    3. That’s not who we are. We still need to respect democracy and have an impeachment that follows the constitution.

  2. Why is it draft Dodgers… so envious of people that served in the military… could it be the medals they earned cannot be purchased….

  3. Trump is the best thing to happen to Anarchism. He’s doing a great job at undermining America’s trust in the u.s. government.

    1. But not with Patriotic Democracy loving Americans. I’m having a hard time understanding trumpers especially since my sister is one. But I just think its the brain injuries or the mental health issues. Nuts because they get LOTS of public assistance!!!

    2. @Silent Rocks Living here on the Southside of “sanctuary city” Chicago I don’t understand how anyone could hate Trump! I guess you live a sheltered life my friend.

  4. We are witnessing the downfall of the U.S. Years from now we look at all the damage he did to our government,military,ect. And ask ourselves how could this have happened and answer will be Trump,Republicans,Fox,Talk radio

    1. You hit the nail on the head whenever you mention Putin & tRump together. The russian trolls are out full force whenever mentioned as witnessed in your reply’s.

    1. @YouTube Moderator racist is a belief in superiority. From your comments it seems to me that you are the only one here with that character.

    2. @Erich NussbaumI take it then you voted for McCain over Obama? And also voted for Bush? You vets all think alike right?

    1. @Radiation is GOD Dubya made a terrible error and did so for all the wrong reasons in Iraq. He acted like a wimp after 9/11 and encouraged his fellow Americans to cringe in fear too. Al Q’aeda failed miserably on 9/11. They succeeded, however, starting on 9/12 in terrorizing the American people. Destroying the WTC and much of the Pentagon neither crippled the US economy nor its military. Total failure. It did cripple the spirit of the American people, thanks to the reaction of the likes of George W. Bush and Joe Lieberman (architect of the bloated Homeland Security Dept.), and undermined the faith of the American people in their government. In that way, Al Q’aeda succeeded. All those mistakes made, leading to the mess in the Middle East now and, in part, to the presidency of Donald J. Trump. You can suggest that the Bush Admin response to 9/11 was to exploit it for his own political benefit, as the late Sen. Byrd did in his book _Losing America_ . You can point out that the long-term goals the Bush Admin wanted to achieve went down the drain as the war dragged on, followed by political chaos in the region. But to assert, without proof, that Bush, especially the often clueless George W. Bush, managed over the course of years to plan something as sophisticated as the 9/11 attack, when he botched the whole Iraq operation in the long run, is to adopt the same strategy as Trump and his supporters have been using since he promoted the Birther movement: inventing smears of people you don’t like just because it feels good to say them. You do not help your cause, assuming you have one, by doing so.

  5. Everything Trump has done has been good for Putin. Trump has also been good to Russian mobsters and Oligarchs, by letting them launder 100s of millions through his properties. He not known as a Russian asset for nothing. He has earned that title.

  6. The Trump turds would sacrifice their firstborn to protect the orangutan. Thank you for your service Colonel. USMC 1982-1986

    1. mrwilljones3015 Obama’s DOJ sacrificed General Flynn in their coup attempt on a duly elected President. Disgusting! Liberal turds hate Trump more than they love the USA.

    1. @YouTube Moderator even if I had terminal pancreatic cancer I would be overly excited I don’t have your life 🤣. You are so pathetic.

  7. Donald every waking moment is dedicated to Putin!…make no mistake, He is a Russian not by birth but blackmail!!!

    1. @gina george-taylorTrump saved the USA and your triggered nonsense only makes us laugh. Watch Trump win Illinois this time!

    2. gina george-taylor Destroyed America? We have the best economy in 50 years. The unemployment rate is low…lowest in recorded history for minorities. Trump restrengthened our military and signed criminal justice reform. And the top 2 leaders of ISIS have been destroyed! You watch too much propaganda. Turn CNN/MSNBC off!

    3. @YouTube Moderator Thats the Trump fan, blind and deaf for reality. At least most times not doing Putins work. Like their idol Trump. With every action he takes aginst the institutions, against public employees. But you may say, that people like you have no idea what is democracy, what are republican values.

    4. Trump WILL be impeached! And, no impeached president has ever been re-elected. If Trump is not removed from office, which I surely hope he is, he has one year left.

  8. 2500 years ago, Socrates had this to say “When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the losers”. Some things never change.

    3. @YouTube Moderator I think you will find that the person being slandered is Lt Col Vindman and the people doing the slandering are Trump and his allies.
