Lack of evidence is the issue. I'm not going believe something just because someone said it.

It beggars belief that anyone would doubt for one moment that this serial veteran-basher, this cowardly rich-kid draft dodger, wouldn't have said what he is reported as saying. We KNOW that he dodged the draft. We KNOW that he has disrespected vets, in public, on the record, many, many times. We KNOW that he trash-talked John McCain on the public record and now, stlil on the public record, flat-out lies about it and said it never happened - Trump doesn't just have form, he has long-term repeated form, over and over again.

Is it possible that, on this one occasion, he didn't trash-talk vets? Sure it is possible. Very unlikely though. Why would he have been respectful and decent that time when he is the opposite so many other times?

20 to 1 he done it. Again.

Here is just one amongst many, many examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_6MGxvSaAY

Nothing you posted sustains the latest allegation against him. Where's your evidence? If we followed your logic the Democrats could just make up shit about him every other day and we'd all be expected to believe it because of things he's said before. I don't think so.

Oh FFS. Read my lips.

What I said was that he has form. He has done exactly what he's just been accused of numerous times in the past. There is no reason not to suppose that he's done it again, same as usual.

1: Those links I provided are to ads produced by lifelong senior Republicans, not Democrats. Don't take my word for it, look it up.

2: Anyway, you couldn't make this shiit up.

The Lincoln Project is full of neocons and RINOs who ally themselves with the Bushes, McCain, Romney, Kasich and etc.

They're hardly going to influence anyone to join them. Most of them didn't vote or support Trump the first time round either.

The timing is very convenient just as Trump's poll numbers have started improving.

The author is a registered Democrat. He should either put up or shut up.

Either name your sources, or no one apart from those who already loathe Trump will believe him or give his story any credence.

I think we should empathise with a pathological malignant narcissist with the most recorded lies in human history. Show some humanity; too many people underestimate the effect that bone spurs can have on one's sense of judgement. Just to balance out this egregious travesty, let's all buy a red hat in support :idea:

Apart from the tremendous irony involved in Trump pretending to be outraged that people might be fibbing about him, why does anyone care?

^But he didn't mean to cause those additional tens of thousands of deaths through mismanagement, like Mao before him. It's discrimination to pick on someone with a severe malignant narcissism that causes them to kill others and wreck everything in their path. Show some humanity, man!

^It was for Pies4Shaw, but it's to anyone in the general conversation. When it comes to that mega-destructive psychopath, we're surely well beyond parsing the finer points of anything. I'm still waiting for him to be held accountable for physically mocking a disabled journalist right at the start of his tenure, let alone for the tens of thousands of additional Covid-19 deaths at his tiny mismanaging hands.
