Thank you for writing about this. Disparaging a vet's service is despicable. At least this time around people/groups are pushing back - hard. Adam Kinzinger lambasted the attack and took the time to lay out how the military works. Vote Vets has been very vocal as well as Occupy Democrats along with individual vets who slammed the attacks. My husband served in the National Guard, and if anyone attacked his service, I would hurt them. God bless Tim Walz and fuck every low life SOB trying to demean him.
I don't think this disparagement of Walz's clearly exemplary military service is going to get any traction beyond the DJT base . . . unless the corporate media keeps doubling down on it, for reasons that escape me.
The Post had a real hit piece on Walz's military service,. with no context or explanation that many of the complaints about him came from two other soldiers who had been passed over for the promotion to Command Sergeant Major he got. It was by their "fact-checker" Glenn Kessler.....tells you all you need to know. Much (most?) of the MSM acts as though they are in the bag for Trump.....
The only reason I’m keeping my WaPo subscription is so I can call out this nonsense as it’s published, in their own comments. Once the election is over I’m dropping it. It’s become more frustrating than informative.
Yeah..."fact-checker Kessler" didn't do much "due diligence"....it was a "sneer (and smear) piece" which came off sounding like angry sour grapes and bitter envy more than anything else.
Dooz guys have no music in der souls. No doo-wop anyway. Harlan Crow may love him some daily Wagner, but that's the only music over there on right unless you think Fat E and JD can actually sing that Greenwood song. That's why musical groups keep telling them not to use their songs for the rallies that even some of the magas are now not wasting their gas to go to.
That LaCivita, a former marine who got a Purple Heart, would disparage Walz while working for a guy who thinks the military is comprised of "suckers and losers" and who likes to start fights but can't finish them, makes LaCivita a total sellout. But that's what the right wing is all about: Monetize everything, including your soul.
It's time for a reprise of What America Means to Me. Heidi Shreck? And more importantly to ask Jonathan Fanton to give a talk on the foundations of America. There is nobody, ie NOBODY, better for that. Leaving the country's future to politicians is very unwise. J just as democracy needs to be remained, history needs to be articulated, yet again.
Wouldn't it be great if Trump--furious at the blowback from the "thin gruel" of LaCivita's attacks--got angry enough to fire that sadsack repsository of used and recycled old repubbie tricks? Chris LaCivita, standing in the unemployment line. How I wish.
Respectfully Not vultures. Ignorant people. Who need education. Strident broadcasters don't provide it. People need to know about THE GRAHILITY of our system.
There has to be a reckoning with the billionaire oligarchs in the US who poison our Democracy daily to satisfy their own delusional dreams of their primacy and divine authority, supported by the wealth they harvest in our twisted and dysfunctional economic system.
Their seedy behavior abounds. To give folks an idea of the swing this country took in the sixties, I attached links to the 1964 and 1972 electoral maps.
Amazingly enough, LaCivita was a Marine who has multiple Purple Hearts. And with that, he ran Swiftboat Veterans for Truth and now works for Trump. A disgrace to the Corps.
When it's a Tuesday night in the diner/casino/unlicensed brothel in Elko, Nevada, and all you have are your washed-up renditions of Elvis's greatest hits...

The reason is another factor thrown into the horse race so that money will roll in to the media.
It’s got a head of steam in my retired cop MAGAts.
Do you ever wonder how they managed to get dressed and show up for the shift on time?
Competence and stupidity are not mutually exclusive, sad to say
WTF 🤷♂️

Same here. My sub runs out in November. Excellent timing.

Like most of his "works"
When I realized that, my heart sank.
Yeah, it's gonna be a long uphill climb to stay up with the facts that have not been "massaged" to meet an agenda.....
Heart in a black hole since.

John Kerry ignored the Swiftboat attack, Hilary ignored the stupid email story-Harris and Walz learned not to let that shit go unanswered.

Trump's already not taking most of his advice.
"I must warn you. There are vultures. Vultures, vultures everywhere."
Respectfully Not vultures. Ignorant people. Who need education. Strident broadcasters don't provide it. People need to know about THE GRAHILITY of our system.
"GRHAHILITY?"
And the quote was from Casablanca, the greatest movie of all time. As was Tom's "round up the usual suspects."

But Harlan Crow’s money keep the pot stirred. Expect more. His daddy was knee deep in Texas money and he has enough to inflict continuous damage.

JD was in the Marines for 4
years and only acquired the
rank of corporal in a war
zone? My oldest grandson
was a Marine for 2 yrs in
Afghanistan as a Corp. He
and other members of his
squad were injured in a
friendly fire bombing run
and sent home.
Perhaps LaCivita should be
careful about swift-boating
Veterans who served 24
years. It might come back
to slap him.
Amazingly enough, LaCivita was a Marine who has multiple Purple Hearts. And with that, he ran Swiftboat Veterans for Truth and now works for Trump. A disgrace to the Corps.
Yes, a disgrace.
I won’t say anything about how a responsible press would be screaming this in Clarence Thomas’s face.
BRILLIANT!! Thank you!
Mrowll!
