He desecrated Arlington Cemetery where my uncle is buried. Now he desecrates the Purple Heart, which my dead uncle was awarded posthumously for extreme bravery.

This verminous piece of orange trash needs to be gone, out of our lives, completely ASAP.

He doesn't deserve to call himself an American. He is rubbish.

St Louis fire.

He was either shot or was knifed in a bar fight. He didn't speak English, so we don't know what happened or whether he deserved one or not. He was in from April 1918-Jan 1919. They didn't send him overseas, seeing that he really would have been a liability since he did not speak English. Heck he got fired from a job because they were ordering him to "push it", which sounded like Turkish for "kiss". It filled my grandfather with rage and he punched a guy out and was promptly fired on the spot, in what was likely his first day.

Anyway, he was just happy to have his VA medical benefits and wear his American Legion hat.

... for wounds sustained in the European Theater following D-Day. DJT can kiss my ass for dishonoring my father's sacrifice and that of so many thousands of others. I feel bad for the poor deluded soul who offered his badge of honor up to this piece of shit, but I have nothing but contempt for the toxic narcissist's acceptance of it.

trump will have forgotten all about it, drop it on a dresser, or leave it sitting on his plane for someone else to deal with.

in Belgium and spent time in a VA hospital fighting off the horrors of war after his service and never earned a Purple Heart 💜.

This display with Trump is the most disrespectful thing I have ever seen. Beyond disgusting.

To suck all the media oxygen out of the room after Kamala and Liz appeared together.

Was wondering what truckload of shit Fuckface was going to drive onto the national stage to make people forget the power of what just happened.

Well, here it is. My advice? Keep talking about Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney.
