Trump's public defenders are as ignorant as he is:

Trump spokesperson Katrina Pearson just said on CNN that Obama's changing of rules of engagement probably cost Capt. Khan his life. In 2004.

Khan died in 2004.

They don't care any more about truth than Democrats do.


Oh............ wait................
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

There are only two reasons Trump keeps Pearson around.

Vet Raises Money To Help Donald Trump Earn His Own Purple Heart

Vet Raises Money To Help Donald Trump Earn His Own Purple Heart

Jennifer Bendery
The Huffington Post

Quote
Donald Trump was thrilled last week when a veteran at a Virginia rally gave him his Purple Heart. “I’ve always wanted to get a Purple Heart,” he said, dangling the medal typically awarded to soldiers wounded or killed while serving in battle. “This was much easier.”

That response didn’t sit right with Cameron Kerr, a Purple Heart recipient based in Virginia. As an Army veteran who lost his leg on the battleground in Afghanistan, Kerr was stunned to see Trump treating the prestigious award like a flashy new toy. He figured if Trump has really always wanted a Purple Heart, he should have to earn it “the old-fashioned way”: by going into a war zone.

So he’s raising money to help give Trump that chance.

Barack Obama agrees with all your criticism of Mr. Trump and he'd like to thank you all personally for your support. However, he's indisposed at the moment on the golf course.

“And I said, ‘Man that’s big stuff.’ I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. "

If Trump really always wanted a Purple Heart then why the five draft deferment?

All though his record shows he had deferments for several "heel" problems and educational reasons someone dug a little deeper into Trumps Selective Service File and the found an entry listing his 4-F status. It reads... "Perminent Deferment Granted.  Reasons:  Hands to small to hold Rifle or Service revolvers."

Mr. Khan was correct.  DT should have said thank you very much but pinned the medal on the soldier's chest

Trump is an idiot.  He turns a potentially moving and positive moment into a travesty by running his mouth before he engages his brain.  I wish there was a way to dump him from the ticket before he destroys this country by handing the presidency to Hilary.

He just made that mans purple heart worthless the way only Donald Trump could do.  Saying he always wanted one but without the sacrifice.  A real man with any morals would have said no sir.  That medal is yours and you have earned it.  I would never even think of accepting that.  Then go on to thank him for his incredible service to our country.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Working as Trump Spokeswomen has lent new meaning to the "O" face.

I am sure Katrina has had several "O" moments in her rise in the Trump ranks.......
