jerryskids 6,799 Posted August 7, 2024 25 minutes ago, The Real timschochet said: I changed the title to reflect the conservative frustration. Attacking Kamala on the issues doesn’t seem to be getting anywhere (though it’s still probably the best option). So they’re attacking her race, and trying to attack Walz on tampons and on his military record. All of that is total waste of time. It will have no effect (or a negative effect for Trump.) Conservatives probably need to hope for an economic calamity or new world crisis to change the current dynamics. But what an awful thing to hope for! Why do you think attacking her on the issues isn't going anywhere? You are still on your sugar high with her; the question is if the complicit MSM praetorian guard will continue to not ask Harris any questions. Literally, no questions in, what, 17 days? No press conferences, nothing. She'll skate into the DNC having not addressed economic disasters, foreign wars, the border fiasco, nothing. And groups like Bloomberg will scrub their fluff pieces to avoid Walz's stolen valor. Funny thing is, you derp around here thinking it's some organic love fest with a fundamentally unlikeable person.

MDC 7,432 Posted August 7, 2024 Since when has Trump ever talked about the issues? When he’s not name calling his entire schtick has been claiming everything is a “disaster” now but it was the greatest in history when he was in charge.

IGotWorms 4,058 Posted August 7, 2024 Alright so I’m reading that he retired from the National Guard to run for Congress. That seems more valid. And it was a year before they were deployed.

Shapiro was never the definitive call and in PA government there was never a sense that Shapiro was gone. I said though when Walz was announced I'm sure this was to keep Shapiro free and clear of a potential 2024 loss so they have him ready to roll in 2028 if necessary. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am uncertain of the rules for the national guard, but don't they serve two weeks a year and then one weekend a month for the remaining 11 months of ther year? If so and one was to take his 25 years as fact, which may be a bit exaggerated from what I have read, he served 25 years times 2 weeks for 50 weeks, plus 11 weekends a year or 22 days a year for 25 years or 550 days so around 2 and 1/2 yerars of actual service which was all training for service when needed and called and when needed and called he opted out. Now I understand opting out was his absolute right. That said to tout his 2 & 1/2 years of training for service he opted out of so that he could go to school on the government's dime, well to me that is not serving 25 years in the army, that is taking advantage of the G.I. bill, which we are all free to do but doesn't make someone some sort of military hero. Were I he I would note that national guard service is a wonderful mechanism to fund an education, but I would not be saying I carried a weapon of war in war. His puffery about his service does not violate the letter of the Stolen Valor Act of 2013 as he did not claimed he won a qualifying medal, but it certainly violates the spirit of the act. Frankly as folks start to appreciate what he did he will be disgraced, and rightfully so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
