#Donald Trump draft dodger

[the-orange-shit-stain-scam]

On July 18th, 2015, I realized that the Republican Party had left me behind. On this day, while seeking the Republican nomination for president, Donald Trump had the following to say about an Annapolis graduate who was shot down, captured and tortured as a POW by the communist North Vietnam regime:

“He's not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."

This verbal diarrhea came out of the mouth of a man who used his father’s wealth and privilege to dodge the draft five different times due to his “bone spurs”. Donald Trump is a traitor, a repeated draft dodger and the largest fraud in the history of our country.

^^^ After notorious draft dodger Donald "Bone Spur" Trump attacked Nikki Haley for her husband being deployed in the Horn of Africa, Maj. W. Michael Haley posted that meme above.

Despite his previous claims of genius, Trump is a demented twit. So is anybody who would vote for him this year.

THE GOP DOUBLES DOWN

TCinLA

I thought waking up this morning to see a photo of Trump at his hatealong last night in Waco with him standing in front of photos of the January 6 insurrection while the “song” “Justice for All” he recorded with the “J6 Prison Choir,” the insurrectionists he claims are patriotic Americans who participated in a “righteous protest” - essentially watching him remove the mask and admit he did in fact incite the insurrection and saying “Yeah, I did it - what are you going to do about it?” - was as strange as things were going to get this final Sunday in March, 2023.

I thought having a confessed statutory rapist and draft dodger - one-hit wonder Ted Nugent - calling Volodomyr Zelenskyy a “homosexual weirdo” was a about as crass a new low for the MAGAts as things were going to get.

I thought having Marjorie Traitor Goon publicly creating an alternative reality by calling the J6 defendants political prisoners who are being “badly treated” in a facility where they have access to computers and the internet, exercise and health services - all completely unavailable to the average inmate of the DC Jail - was a completely laughable denial of reality.

I was wrong.

Yesterday, the three blind mice - Gym Jordan and his co-conspirators masquerading as chairmen of three House committees - responded to District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s reply to their first letter sent this past week by doubling down in a second letter on their intention to intervene in the New York City investigation ahead of possible criminal charges against Trump, revealing they plan to to consider whether Congress should take legislative action on three separate issues “to protect former and/or current Presidents from politically motivated prosecutions by state and local officials.” In other words, to find a way to make such a prosecution of Donald Trump impossible.

Trump admits his complicity in the January 6 insurrection and leaders of the Republican Party take steps to insulate him from accountability before they even know what specific charges he will be indicted on.

The Republicans declare war on reality and the rule of law. THAT is as strange as things got on this final weekend of March, 2023.

Bragg responded to the letter after it became public last night, writing, “We evaluate cases in our jurisdiction based on the facts, the law, and the evidence. It is not appropriate for Congress to interfere with pending local investigations. This unprecedented inquiry by federal elected officials into an ongoing matter serves only to hinder, disrupt and undermine the legitimate work of our dedicated prosecutors. As always, we will continue to follow the facts and be guided by the rule of law in everything we do.”

A spokesperson for Oversight Committee Democrats has stated, “Chairman Jordan, Comer, and Steil believe former President Trump is above the law. This outrageous position is further evidence of former President Trump and MAGA extremists’ hold on Congressional Republicans.”

The MAGA Republican Party has now officially declared war on the rule of law.

Here are the high points from the Letter:

“Notably, your reply letter did not dispute the central allegations at issue—that you, under political pressure from left-wing activists and former prosecutors in your office, are reportedly planning to use an alleged federal campaign finance violation, previously declined by federal prosecutors, as a vehicle to extend the statute of limitations on an otherwise misdemeanor offense and indict for the first time in history a former President of the United States.”

No, you morons, it wasn’t “previously declined” by federal prosecutors. The Trump-appointed Attorney General Bill Barr, citing the so-called “Nixon rule” that a sitting president cannot be indicted and prosecuted, ORDERED the DOJ attorneys to drop the case.

“Contrary to the central argument set forth in your letter, this matter does not simply involve local or state interests. Rather, the potential criminal indictment of a former President of the United States by an elected local prosecutor of the opposing political party (and who will face the prospect of re-election) implicates substantial federal interests, particularly in a jurisdiction where trial-level judges also are popularly elected. If state or local prosecutors are able to engage in politically motivated prosecutions of Presidents of the United States (former or current) for personal acts, this could have a profound impact on how Presidents choose to exercise their powers while in office. For example, a President could choose to avoid taking action he believes to be in the national interest because it would negatively impact New York City for fear that he would be subject to a retaliatory prosecution in New York City.”

This is wholly and completely specious, but what Republican argument about anything isn’t?

“Likewise, because the federal government has a compelling interest in protecting the physical safety of former or current Presidents, any decision to prosecute a former or current President raises difficult questions concerning how to vindicate that interest in the context of a state or local criminal justice system. For these reasons and others, we believe that we now must consider whether Congress should take legislative action to protect former and/or current Presidents from politically motivated prosecutions by state and local officials, and if so, how those protections should be structured.”

“Second, the Committees’ inquiry has an obvious legitimate legislative purpose and is “a subject on which legislation could be had.” To begin with, as discussed above, Congress has a specific and manifestly important interest in preventing politically motivated prosecutions of current and former Presidents by elected state and local prosecutors, particularly those tried before elected state and local trial-level judges. Therefore, the Committee on the Judiciary, as a part of its broad authority to develop criminal justice legislation, must now consider whether to draft legislation that would, if enacted, insulate current and former presidents from such improper state and local prosecutions. These legislative reforms may include, for example, broadening the existing statutory right of removal of certain criminal cases from state court to federal court.”

Here is the argument to use the federal government to protect Trump.

“Moreover, as discussed above, your prosecutorial decision to indict a former President may cause a potential confrontation between federal and local law-enforcement authorities. Federal law requires the United States Secret Service to protect a former President.8 Therefore, your unprecedented prosecutorial decision raises the potential for conflict between the federal law-enforcement officials required to protect the former President and local law-enforcement officials required to enforce your indictment and exercise control of him throughout his presence in the local criminal justice system. Such a novel and potentially fraught collision of federal and local law-enforcement officials with the safety of a former President at stake is certainly a matter of interest for the Committees. The Committees’ oversight is necessary to inform potential legislation that would address or remedy any potential conflicts between federal and local authorities.”

You mendacious morons! It has already been established that state and local law enforcement would COOPERATE with the Secret Service, which would coordinate Trump surrendering after indictment. There is no possibility whatsoever of any “shoot out” happening.

This is the most audacious assault on the rule of law by the Republicans. They are ALL, each and every one of them, traitors to their oath to protect and defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, because ALL THEM ARE THE DOMESTIC ENEMY.

No Vietnam Veteran Has Become U.S. President, Even though three have run

1. Bill Clinton initially received student deferments but actually ending up registering for the draft(despite potentially being able to avoid service through the ROTC and also being personally opposed to the war), but he wasn’t called up.

2. George W. Bush used the Texas Air National Guard to dodge the draft(and yes, it’s dubious whether he actually fulfilled his service requirements there, but that’s another story). He got elected President.

3. Al Gore actually served in Vietnam, even though he easily could have dodged the draft and even though he was heavily opposed to the war. He decided to serve both in an attempt to protect his father’s political career and because very few people in his home state of Tennessee could avoid the draft, so he decided it wouldn’t be fair to wiggle out of it. He lost his election to the draft dodger George W. Bush.

4. John Kerry was an honest to god war hero in Vietnam(and seems to have essentially chosen to serve in the war). After his tour of service ended, he proved his moral mettle by engaging in activism against a war he felt was unjust.  He got swiftboated into oblivion, losing to the draft dodger George W. Bush.

5. John McCain was likewise a war hero in Vietnam, who personally suffered far more than John Kerry did. He did not win election to president; his opponent was far too young to have served there.

6. Mitt Romney never served in Vietnam, due to student and missionary deferments and due to getting lucky in the draft lottery.

7. Donald Trump pretty openly dodged the draft; he became elected President.

8. Joe Biden avoided service in Vietnam due to student deferments and asthma; he also became President.

For the record, we’ve had four Presidents who managed to avoid serving in Vietnam even though they were eligible, and three major party presidential candidates who did very deliberately serve in the war but lost election to president.

COMMENTARY:

"God Bless the USA" is the National Anthem of Conservative draft dodgers, Walmart Warriors, Neo-Nazi Jesus Freak and right-wing losers like One-Eyed Elmer Rhodes,

Listen the lyrics: If, in spite of the fact that my life has gone to shit because of the economic policies of the people I vote for, it's Patriotic duty of every Suffering Servant for Jesus rejoice in being Red Blooded America Patriot like Rush Limbaugh, Tucker Carlson, Tobey Keith and Trump. It is my opinion that the meth epidemic among white supremacist communities is being driven by the Nazification of Supply Side Economics, FOX News and the Total Depravity Gospel of Campus Crusade for Christ. The MAGA Conservatives people who are being eaten alive by all things January 6 are the same people who have bought into the lyrics, hook like and sinker, '

God Bless the USA is the right wing response to John Lennon's "Imagine'.

I'm not a big John Lennon Fan. He and Yoko are what serious marxist call "Radish": Red on the outside but Upper East Side Salon Intellectuals with pretensions of rebellion,

But the fact of the matter is, "Imagine" is where Pauline Theology and Woodstock converge,

God Bless the USA is for people who think Toby Keith's attack of the Chicks over the Chicks properly identifying the invasion of Iraq a war crime before the fact as a righteous and patriotic American act of heroism,

As a Vietnam vet, it was an obscene act, I went to Vietnam so that the Chicks and Jane Fonda could go anywhere in the world and protest the fact I was in Vietnam defending Toby Keith's right to be the perfect Texas Ted Cruz red neck asshole with gun racks my pickup because it turns the other incels on.

"Doing more with less is the anti-DEI equivalent of "God Bless the USA , it is a self-fulfilling prophecy,

Biden's Build Back Better is the self-fulfilling prophecy of the Manhattan Project: Biggest Bang for the Buck$.

As a Vietnam vet, I hate "God Bless the USA". All the white supremacists assholes I've had to deal with since I got back from Vietnam are lined up behind it. It's like saluting the "January 6 Hostages: cover of the Star Spangled Banner. Doe it not occur to anyone but me that the collapse of the Key Bridge is God's way of saying "Shut the fuck up, Len Greenwood> Your song is a turd in my punch bowl of Blessings,"

Republican debate canceled after Nikki Haley says she’ll only participate if Donald Trump does

Jan 16, 2024

Donald: Debate Dodger, Tax Dodger, Draft Dodger

Of course Donald Trump said NO. He's a dodger, not a debater.

His rally speeches are repeating catchphrases with background music and fist bumps. No questions. No accountability.

He cannot express complex ideas or subjects in detail. He speaks out of turn and bullies to deflect from the topic. He ignores questions.

He dodges, lies and hides inside his country club bubble surrounded by sychophant Yes Men.
