  1. I don't think the whole "sleepy Joe" thing is working. People like sleep, want more and never get enough of it. Sleep is a good thing.

    Hide'n Biden is much better.

    If they transition to something more catchy, then maybe Trump might have a better chance of recruiting some voters who don't just cling to his balls.

  2. President Trump is far from the only person who has wondered why Americans were sent to war in Viet Nam. Although he is the first person to get blamed by the libs for asking.

  3. "Trump has repeatedly questioned why Americans who served in Vietnam went to war"

    1:52: If you read the statement, he isn't questioning why the country went to war, he's questioning why those who were drafted went to war. Maybe it's because not everyone had an obliging doctor who would diagnose them with "bonespurs," and they played by the rules, those suckers and losers!

  4. the so-called "Greatest Generation" drafted working-class kids and shipped them off to their worthless war in Nam..

    then shit on the vets that made it back home.

  5. whatever made-up shit about President trumps comments.. his administration is taking great care of Vets today...vast improvement over Barry.

  6. I have been sitting on the fence about Biden until recently taking note of his diminishing cognitive capacities. Age, health and stress can hasten this loss, this is not an indictment of the man just an observation.

    I firmly believe he is no longer qualified as a proper candidate. Yes as alternative to Trump, he may be a winning candidate but will not last his term of office. The rumor of Kamala Harris becoming President sometime after the election is indeed plausible. Unfortunately I find her too radical in her support of BLM, criminals and chaos.

  9. SCREW THE VIETNAM WAR. My dad went, and he lost a foot and a hand. He believes he was a fool to go because they lied to us about the war. And the VA never provided him decent treatment. That's why neuroscience us for going into the the fxcking military...the wars are endless ducking conflicts to keep the elite rich. The people who go ARE fools...not everyone who loses their legs gets to be a senator like Duckworth...that was just to make the rubes think they reach the top! Saps!

  11. 2:07: Any alternative to Trump would be an improvement, and that includes inanimate objects.

  12. 1:28 That's what Bill Clinton should have done. Instead after he got his notice to report, he spent a lot of time and effort pulling political strings to get into ROTC for the first time as a grad student (nearly unheard of), and then simply leaving the country, thereby deferring his draft status until he got a good draft number. Clinton's flaw was he went to politicians for help instead of to a doctor. But it eventually did work and he did avoid getting drafted. Trump was simply more efficient than Bubba.
