Blumenthal already fessed up, Mr. Trump.  How about you?

Admiral Bone Spurs and General Stolen Valor both need to STFU.


My grandfather lost toes to frostbite, hearing in one ear to a German 88mm shell, and took a shrapnel wound to his shoulder all during the battle of the bulge. He remained in Europe with his brothers till the end of the war.

He does remind a person of that gooey stuff that sticks to the bottom of your shoes and is hard to scrape off.

Never in U.S.history has anyone lied or defrauded voters like Senator Richard Blumenthal.

Let's see how well that statement holds up in 2020, Mr President.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

A tweet solely for his loyal supporters. By doing so, he now elevates Blumenthal by referring to a years old story. Might as well have mentioned that a Blumenthal family member  helped Rafael Cruz assassinate Kennedy.

Do any Trump supporters know how to think for themselves unless Trump tweets or Breitbart tells them what to think?

Blumenthal and Trump deserve each other. Two sides of the same coin.

Hurling slurs and insults got him thru the primaries.   It's all he knows.  In this case, Blumenthal earned the slurs.

Well, so much for the naïve notion that Gen. Kelly would take control, and prevent President Trump from tweeting.

Or alternatively Kelly screened it because he also understands the paradigm of going straight over, under, around and through the mainstream biased media's filter.

Amazing, that paradigm thing, and listening to folks that despise him, that didn't vote for him, and who seemingly cannot or will not understand it. NTs and DUs alike.

They both yearn for the media to take back control, so their views prevail in the news for the day.

   Words just fail me here, being a Vietnam Veteran, but I am reminded of a mammal from Africa, word wise.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

Mr. Trump is dead-on right on this one.

Blumenthal is Connecticut's version of Eliot Spitzer.

As slimy as a bottom-dwellin' eel !!
