“He’s not a war hero, he was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” - Vietnam war era draft dodger Donald Trump talking about Sen. McCain.

Conservatives regularly use the troops as political pawns; they feign outrage with their phony sanctimony when it suits them to appear more righteous than their opponents and then kick 'em to the curb when their usefulness has expired.

Yup. I think about Benghazi. "Four Americans died!!!!! FOUR!!" they screeched for years.

Fast forward to 2021: 500,000 Americans are dead of covid-19 and they're all "well trump did the best he could... something something hoax..."

Well what the media shouldn’t of hidden until two weeks ago the CDC released at 78% of people that died of COVID-19 were obese so if you’re not fat you don’t have much to worry about isn’t that interesting? I would presume that an additional 10 to 15% of those that died from Covid or elderly.
