Vince44 202 Posted October 17, 2017 https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/spurs-gregg-popovich-calls-donald-trump-a-soulless-coward-after-latest-comments/ Popovich, who served five years of active duty in the U.S. Air Force, was incensed by Trump's recent comments following the death of four U.S. soldiers killed in an ambush in Niger. "President Obama and other presidents, most of them didn't make calls, a lot of them didn't make calls," Trump said. "I like to call when it's appropriate, when I think I'm able to do it." Popovich called The Nation's Dave Zirin to give his feelings on the matter: I've been amazed and disappointed by so much of what this President had said, and his approach to running this country, which seems to be one of just a never ending divisiveness. But his comments today about those who have lost loved ones in times of war and his lies that previous presidents Obama and Bush never contacted their families, is so beyond the pale, I almost don't have the words. This man in the Oval Office is a soulless coward who thinks that he can only become large by belittling others. This has of course been a common practice of his, but to do it in this manner – and to lie about how previous Presidents responded to the deaths of soldiers – is as low as it gets. We have a pathological liar in the White House: unfit intellectually, emotionally, and psychologically to hold this office and the whole world knows it, especially those around him every day. The people who work with this President should be ashamed because they know it better than anyone just how unfit he is, and yet they choose to do nothing about it. This is their shame most of all.

Cdub100 3,384 Posted October 17, 2017 I wonder how much pizza pop has partaken in. Trump didn't lie, past presidents called or sent letters. The key words there are "or sent letters" Trump likes to call every single one. He thinks the death of a loved one deserves more than just a letter.

TD Ryan2 314 Posted October 17, 2017 a never ending divisiveness thinks that he can only become large by belittling others. unfit intellectually, emotionally, and psychologically to hold this office I took out all the crap in between. This sums it up for me. It's how I felt about him before the election - then he won and I hoped I was wrong -but it's about as bad as I feared. Every time he speaks/tweets - I evaluate, was this a positive or negative message? was this praise for or an attack on someone. And a majority of the time, the message is negative and/or and attack on someone/something. This simply isn't how you lead, inspire, unify anyone or anything.

parrot 789 Posted October 17, 2017 On a semi-related note, I'm starting to like McCain again; “To fear the world we have organized and led for three-quarters of a century, to abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of international leadership and our duty to remain 'the last best hope of earth' for the sake of some half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned to the ash heap of history,” McCain said in the speech. The Arizona senator said “we live in a land made of ideals, not blood and soil” and said Americans “are the custodians of those ideals at home, and their champion abroad.” “We have done great good in the world. That leadership has had its costs, but we have become incomparably powerful and wealthy as we did,” McCain said. “We have a moral obligation to continue in our just cause, and we would bring more than shame on ourselves if we don’t. We will not thrive in a world where our leadership and ideals are absent.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And has devoted his life in serving the American people. Who now finds out he has brain cancer and doesn't have to worry at all about what he says. That's John McCain. I never thought that a Republican would be one of my favorite Americans, but this guy is pure gold right now. Speaking solely about decency and not giving a flying F what people think.

Jesus Chrysler 29 Posted October 17, 2017 His brain is damaged it's no wonder he's going all liberal. He's not liberal at all. He just has ZERO fear of the retard in office. Isn't worried about getting reelected or if thugs like Bannon are 'out to get him'. He's running purely on morals at this point and that inherently makes you appear to be liberal.

BufordT 371 Posted October 17, 2017 Gen. Kelly lost his son and never received a call from Obama. He was the highest ranking member in the military to lose a child at that time. As time moves we learn Trump is right more and more. Gen. Kelly is a class act as far as I can tell. He'll never do it, but I have to assume he wants to smack Trump silly for dragging his son into this bvllsh!t. What father wouldn't?? Complete 100% douche bag move by Trump. BTW....Obama had several hundred troops killed in action by the time Gen. Kelly's son perished and he hosted a dinner for all the Gold Star families and Gen Kelly's family sat with the Obama's at the head table. Sorry, you can't expect the Potus to call every family. Trump has had 20 something soldiers kia so far and now he'll probably send out a tweet every time he calls a Gold Star family just to let everyone know he did. I tried to give him chance but.............. eff him at this point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
