Trump to Father of Fallen Soldier: 'I’ve Made a Lot of Sacrifices'

Imagine Trump ringing to comfort the family of a fallen soldier, or the victims of a mass shooting. Actually just try and imagine Donald Trump trying to generate a watt of human empathy.

Trump to Father of Fallen Soldier: 'I’ve Made a Lot of Sacrifices'

The Secret Lives of Hillary and Bill in the White House

One day, according to Payne, he was walking through the second-floor private kitchen when an agent walked in behind him waiting to escort Chelsea to Sidwell Friends, the private school she attended in northwest Washington. Chelsea was on the phone.

“Oh, I’ve got to go,” she told her friend. “The pigs are here.”

The agent turned “crimson,” Payne recalls. “Ms. Clinton, I want to tell you something. My job is to stand between you, your family, and a bullet. Do you understand?”

She replied: “Well, that’s what my mother and father call you.”

Are you really giving Chelsea Clinton shit for something she said as a teenager?

 

[8den]

I dont think anyone disputes this. However in the last 24 hours Trump has categorically stated he has no financial links to the Russian state and that is plainly false.

No, I'm saying that both her words show that the environment she was socialised into was one of disdain towards ordinary people. I am sure that the same is true of Trump and his offspring.

So is it bad or good for foreign oligarchs to influence US elections? If it's bad for Trump it is bad for Clinton or it's OK for both of them.

Again one quote without context or age of the child known.

I am sure that the same is true of Trump and his offspring.

Oh yeah CC and the Trump boys are peas in a pod.

You know the difference between propaganda and publicity, right?

Or do you think the work the Clinton foundation does in Africa. Which includes Anchor Farms, Preventing mother to child HIV transmission, providing treatment for 200,000 AIDs victims is what?

I genuinely don't.

Or do you think the work the Clinton foundation does in Africa. Which includes Anchor Farms, Preventing mother to child HIV transmission, providing treatment for 200,000 AIDs victims is what?

I think Bush did a better job in that regard, but that his far more efficient use of the US state to provide aid in Africa doesn't absolve him of his politics or their consequenes either. In any case the use of aid by the Clinton Foundation has been deeply suspect in various areas, especially Haiti. Haitian activists at the DNC shouted 'lock her up', and you can see why.

And Haitian garment workers, mostly women, might not feel so warm toward her state department’s opposition to an increase in that country’s minimum wage, which a US embassy official denounced as “a populist measure aimed at appealing to ‘the unemployed and underpaid masses.’” That quote, by the way, comes from Katha’s magazine, the Nation.

How Hillary Helped Ruin Haiti

Last week Haiti’s Electoral Council postponed the nation’s current presidential election indefinitely. The present chaos is a fitting coda to the recent presidency of Michel Martelly, a novice politician who governed accordingly.

Amid the current upheaval, the name Mirlande Manigat is well worth recalling. As Haiti struggled to dig out from the disastrous 2010 earthquake, Manigat stood poised to become its first elected female president—until Hillary Clinton’s State Department intervened.

A former First Lady of Haiti and a respected university administrator, Manigat invoked Brazil’s Lula as she ran on a moderately left-wing platform championing universal public education. Manigat, who holds a Ph.D. from the Sorbonne, also campaigned in the U.S., detailing at length her vision for Haiti.


Ominously, Dr. Manigat criticized the aid organizations that swarmed into Haiti after the earthquake. Singling out those groups’ lack of accountability, Manigat assured Time that “My government will not operate the NGO way.”

In late November 2010, Manigat, a Duvalier-era exile, topped a field of 19 candidates, garnering 31 percent of the vote and setting herself up for a runoff election against the initial second-place finisher, Jude Celestin. A close ally at the time with Haiti’s then-President Rene Preval, Celestin barely edged out Martelly, the popular singer better known as Sweet Micky.

After the election results were announced in early December, Micky’s devoted supporters rioted for three straight days. Hillary Clinton, in turn, told President Preval that if he didn’t force Celestin to drop out, Congress would cut off aid to Haiti. Martelly soon became the second candidate in the runoff.

In March 2011, Sweet Micky parlayed his support from the Duvalier-aligned Haitian right and the U.S. into a comfortable victory. On the night he won the runoff, Hillary’s State Department team celebrated, with her chief of staff Cheryl Mills assuring them that “You do great elections.”

By the end of 2015, according to a congressional report, “much of the Haitian public” believed that international disaster relief money had been mismanaged, fueling calls for Martelly’s ouster (PDF). Under Martelly, the Haitian gourde also depreciated by 30 percent, compounding the nation’s rapidly growing food crisis.

Instead of the grandmotherly figure of Dr. Mirlande, in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake Haiti was ruled by a risqué, misogynist musician. Yet despite his volatile character, once in office Micky remained a consistent ally of the Clintons.


One year into Martelly’s term, U.S. Ambassador Pam White informed Mills (PDF) that Haiti insiders viewed Martelly “not dumb as many may think, [but] he is wild.” Martelly soon appointed close Clinton ally Laurent Lamothe as prime minister, but Lamothe was forced to step down two years later.

When Caracol Industrial Park, a signature project of the Clinton Foundation, opened in northern Haiti in October 2012, Sweet Micky joined Bill and Hillary at the ceremony. There Haiti’s president and the U.S. Secretary of State heaped high praise on one another.

Martelly, Clinton declared, was the impoverished nation’s “chief dreamer and believer.” Sweet Micky, in turn, said the Caracol project showed that Haiti “is open for business, and that’s not just a slogan.”

The high-profile launch of the industrial park, Time reported, was also designed to rebut criticisms within Haiti regarding exactly where the many billions in post-earthquake aid money had ended up.

At the time, Martelly proclaimed that the Caracol project would deliver more than 100,000 jobs, while the Clinton Foundation vowed that it would bring 60,000 in five years. As of mid-2015, the actual number was closer to 5,000.

Throughout his five-year term, Martelly gave free rein to NGOs and foreign business interests. Amidst Haiti’s ongoing turmoil, a simple question thus arises: Why, exactly, did Hillary Clinton’s State Department support Sweet Micky instead of Dr. Mirlande Manigat?

Thursday, Trump's VP promises that Roe vs Wade will be overturned if they win, making abortion illegal across the country.

Friday, Trump gets stuck in an elevator before a rally in Colorado Springs and has to be rescued by the fire department. He then insults the fire department during his speech, saying the fire marshal who limited numbers at the rally doesn't know what he's doing.

Saturday, Trump insults the parents of a Muslim US soldier who died fighting in Iraq, suggesting that the father wouldn't allow the mother to speak at the Democratic convention.

It's almost impressive how the campaign is able to maintain this torrent of ignorant shit so consistently day after day.

Trump shot himself in the foot over his comments about the dead veteran's mother. You would have thought he might have learnt from previous disasters but it seems he can't or won't.

Worth remembering who the politicians were who sent the soldier to his needless death on a barrage of deliberate falsehoods . Strikes me as much worse than Going on to cynically ue the grief shes resposible for as an election crutch . Particularly as shell do it all over again to others . Why those parents are cheer leading for Clinton and her PNAC entourage beggars belief .

Might it be they hate Trump because they are Muslims? And as I've said, don't forget PNACers Cheney, Rumsfeld & Bolton are Trump supporters.

Has been supporters with nowhere else to go. As opposed to policy makers with their hands on the levers of power. Making them a massive threat should this demon be elected. As big a threat as they were under Bush . Worse in fact due to the massive destabilisation they and Clinton have already inflicted upon the people of the world.

To do this all again is beyond madness .

That's why not Trump. If he gets in, who do you think he's going to put into his cabinet? Cheney, Rumsfeld, or those just like them.

Compare Bush's reaction to Sheehan to Trump's and the Khans and Duyba sounds ridiculously presidential.

Trump shot himself in the foot over his comments about the dead veteran's mother. You would have thought he might have learnt from previous disasters but it seems he can't or won't.

Just when you think it's impossible for Trump to reveal himself as an even bigger asshole..... he ups the ante, yet again.

The Khans were as roundly supported as Trump was condemned, after the Republican nominee criticised Ghazala Khan for standing silently beside her husband while he delivered his moving speech about their son and Trump’s attacks on Muslims to the Democratic gathering in Philadelphia on Thursday evening.

“His wife, if you look at his wife, she was standing there,” Trump told ABC’s This Week. “She had nothing to say. She probably … maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me. But plenty of people have written that. She was extremely quiet. And it looked like she had nothing to say.”

Khizr Khan told CNN’s State of the Union Trump was “totally incapable of empathy”, adding: “I want his family to counsel him. Teach him some empathy. He will be a better person, but he is a black soul.”

Reiterating his wife’s explanation that she was too overcome by grief to say anything at the event as planned, Khizr Khan expressed disbelief that Trump still “had to take that shot at her”. His wife also has high blood pressure and felt so unsteady she worried she might fall offstage, he said.

“She said, ‘You know my condition – when I see my son’s picture I cannot hold myself together,’” said Khan, becoming tearful. “This country holds such a person in the highest regard, and he has no knowledge, no awareness. That is the height of his ignorance.”

In her article on Sunday, Ghazala Khan wrote: “I cannot walk into a room with pictures of Humayun ... Walking on to the convention stage, with a huge picture of my son behind me, I could hardly control myself.”

Khizr Khan said Trump lacked both the moral compass and sense of empathy necessary for any president. “This candidate is void of both traits that are necessary for the stewardship of this country,” he said.

Yeah, Trump is a black soul.

And a huge fucking asshole.

Trump, the man who got a medical deferment to stay away from Vietnam - it was a 'bone spur', which he now can't remember which foot it was - has made sacrifices for his country.

He has employed people. He has built amazing structures. He has become a successful businessman.

What a shallow, egotistical, juvenile asshole.

The Simpsons show Trump getting ready.

In the Dem Primaries Sanders won in every majority Islamic area, I somehow doubt that most of them see HRC in a particularly favourable light however little they think of Trump.

The DNC circus with the parents of the dead soldier was disgusting on so many levels.
