Seriously that's all you got? Jemele Hill writes for them. And apperantly if you vote for Trump you are a racist. They say dumb **** all the time to appease people like you. They'd only get hurt financially if they say something with some common sense and facts/logic behind it. Feel free to dispute any of this. https://shameproject.com/profile/jeffrey-goldberg/ "For two decades now, Jeffrey Goldberg has peddled blatantly false war propaganda with disastrous consequences, fronted for the military-industrial machine, played a key PR role pushing America into war with Iraq, and advanced the agenda of the Israeli military-intel establishment—and he has been rewarded for his lies and failures with the top editor's job at the Atlantic Monthly. Put another way: If Judith Miller was a dweeby Ivy League graduate who worked as a detention camp guard holding Palestinian prisoners, and she never had to answer for her journalistic fraud after being exposed, she would be Jeffrey Goldberg." It's what they do. And most people who can think just laugh at it. Dems are in panic mode.
Jamalle Hill is an opinion writer for them. She doesn't report information. If you don't understand these basic concepts, you shouldn't have such confident opinions. The Atlantic ha existed for over 150 years. The moment it comes out that their reporters fabricate? sources, that 159 years of reputation is thrown out the window. Get it now boot? Again, John Kelly can debunk this.
The Pentagon has ordered Stars and Stripes to shut down for no good reason. This newspaper for American troops began during the Civil War. The Pentagon has ordered Stars and Stripes to shut down for no good reason Trump wants to pull funding from Stars and Stripes, a newspaper for American troops that began in the Civil War and has been serving our soldiers. usatoday.com
No, Trump has not "stood by" the troops. He: • Kicked off his 1st campaign by declaring that John McCain wasn’t a war hero • Slandered the family of Humayun Khan, a Muslim Army captain killed in the Iraq war • Smeared Alexander Vindman, a purple heart recipient #RNC2020 President Trump cited the Veterans Choice health care program as evidence that he has done more for veterans than the late Sen. McCain. There are two big issues here: Choice was signed into law by President Obama in 2014 It was McCain's bill
Thats depressing if it happens. Used to read it on deployments at lunch or dinner...often kept me up to date when internet wasn’t readily available.
Trump is simply incapable of expressing empathy or sympathy. I don't think he knows how to handle grief. Even last week when his brother died I saw nothing out of him that showed he was grieving.
The shutdown of this newspaper/online website was reported earlier this year, but with a planned date of sometime in 2021. Why all of a sudden now (by end of this month)? It save $15.5M per year. That's probably 0.00001% of the military annual budget. It's an independent newspaper. I'm guessing that is the reason to shut it down by the Trump admin. Suppression of independent and free speech. Wiki: Stars and Stripes is authorized by Congress and the US Department of Defense to produce independent daily military news and information distributed at U.S. military installations in Europe and Mideast and East Asia. A weekly derivative product is distributed within the United States by its commercial publishing partners. Stars and Stripes newspaper averages 32 pages each day and is published in tabloid format and online at www.stripes.com/epaper. Stars and Stripes employs civilian reporters, and U.S. military senior non-commissioned officers as reporters, at a number of locations around the world and on any given day has an audience just shy of 1.0 million. Stars and Stripes also serves independent military news and information to an online audience of about 2.0 million unique visitors per month, 60 to 70 percent of whom are located in the United States.
The White House tried to rescind an order to lower flags to half-staff after John McCain died, a former official says. President Trump wasn’t simply furious that the flags on federal buildings had been lowered to half-staff to honor the late Senator John McCain in August 2018: He actually tried to have them raised, again, on all buildings across the country, according to a former senior official at the Department of Homeland Security. In an interview on Friday, the ex-official, Miles Taylor, who served in D.H.S. from 2017 to 2019, said he was traveling in Australia to meet with security partners to discuss sensitive counterterrorism issues, when he and others on the trip, including the former D.H.S. Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Chad Wolf, a former senior official who is now the acting secretary, got news of Mr. McCain’s death. It was around 3 a.m. Australia time when Mr. Taylor started getting phone calls from the White House and from a military aide that eventually woke him up, he said. “I get someone from the White House, a senior person there, who calls and says, ‘What is going on with the flags. The president is upset, this has gone out too soon and he doesn’t want it to happen.’” Mr. Taylor said he was uncertain of the procedure for lowering flags to half-staff, and spotty Wi-Fi on the trip across the globe had left him somewhat out of the loop on how the president was reacting to Mr. McCain’s death (the White House had lowered its own flag on the presidential complex, only to raise it again, in what was seen at the time as a perplexing break from protocol). After some frantic middle-of-the-night research and calls, he said, he had a clearer picture. “D.H.S. houses the Federal Protective Service, which guards all federal buildings but also has responsibility to lower the flags in cases of national mourning,” he said. After the White House had initially lowered its flag to half-staff, D.H.S. had sent a notice for all federal buildings to follow suit. “I was then asked, ‘Would you guys be able to rescind the directive?’” Mr. Taylor said. He had not discussed the push from the White House with Ms. Nielsen, who was still asleep down the hallway. But he told the senior White House official that “we would need a compelling reason for the White House to order us to do that.” On a follow-up call, the official relented and said that aides back at home were hoping to push the president simply to issue a proclamation and keep the flags lowered. “They never ended up giving us that order, but the intimation I got was, ‘This shouldn’t have happened,’” Mr. Taylor said. It was that the president “won’t want them down, and he’s angry, and look into what you would be able to do with it.” He said that he found the episode “pretty astounding and disgusting.” Mr. Trump has angrily denied a new report in The Atlantic that said that he was furious when he saw the flags lowered to half-staff. “What the **** are we doing that for? Guy was a ****ing loser,” the president told aides, according to the article. Speaking with reporters on Thursday night, Mr. Trump insisted that he respected Mr. McCain even though they disagreed. “I was never a fan. I will admit that openly,” Mr. Trump said. But “we lowered the flags. I had to approve that, nobody else, I had to approve it.” Mr. Taylor recently endorsed Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic presidential nominee, in a video testimonial released by the group “Republican Voters Against Trump.” https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/0...after-john-mccain-died-a-former-official-says
It is corroborated by AP reporter LaPorta. It fits with his pattern of disregard and disparaging the military throughout his campaign and presidency.
Pretty bold to publish this with 4 anonymous sources -- could be a trap if Kelly confirms it in a couple weeks for maximum effect.
Imagine watching this and saying "nah, I believe Trump is better here" @Os Trigonum @Supermac34 @generalthade_03 @tinman @treeman
Nice deflect. Like I said. It's Panic time. Trump hates the Troops. I guess my buddy in 5th SFG didn't get the memo, the **** he sends me is quite the contrary on their support for Trump. People here act like the care about the troops, but don't realize that most of our highly trained bros are white kids from the 'burbs that are on the complete opposite side of the political spectrum when compared to here. You guys would be the first people to call them racist, facist, etc. etc.. Get it now boot? Heh, I'll pretend I didn't see that comment.
