    The Department of Justice swears their allegiance to the Constitution not the President and not Trump, even though he asks them to swear allegiance to him. Come to think of it, Hitler had his administration swear allegiance to him. Dear God, I hope no one in the Trump administration breaks down and swears allegiance to Trump when their true allegiance is to the Constitution.

    It's not Trump's Department of Justice!

    1. The draft is fucking stupid. The Vietnam War, even worse. Most wars the US get into are BS.

    2. Anyone who was dumb enough to think Trump University was a real thing was a fucking idiot and deserved it.

    3. Meh. You said it yourself, they were willing to work for less than the going rate. Big deal. Better than overpaying.

    1. The draft is the best way to go. If we're going to defend our country, why should we lure the poor with better pay than they could get elsewhere so that they are the only ones dying?
    2. The same can be said about those who voted for the founder of Trump U.
    3. All the while he was complaining about people hiring foreign workers.

    How many of his products he was selling are made here in the USA? ZERO. Wasn't he admonishing those who had stuff built outside the USA?

    The man is first, but not only, a con man. He's also a cheat, a philanderer, a liar extraordinaire, a traitor, a tax cheat, . . . the list is endless, for God's sake.

    I'm not defending that war. Not at all. I've seen first hand how locals were very happy to have us do all the heavy lifting. I was complaining about the fact that someone like me had to go because mr. Patriot was too chicken to stand up like a man. My father gave me the choice of going or running to Canada. I chose going. I told him that we can't pick and choose which wars we're willing to fight and which ones we are not. Mr. Chickenshit Trump chose the golf course and made someone else go in his place.

    I will NEVER apologize for fighting in a war I did not believe it. I'm proud that no one had to take my place. I pay for it on average four times a week. Went to the VA hospital today. What does Trump pay? According to him it was the horror narrowly avoided of getting VD. Piece of shit.

    I'm not big on where something is made but when a man says he doesn't believe in having your products built outside our country and then has his products built outside our country, I small a rat. A big filthy revolting piece of shit rat.

    Should have gone to Canada. Fuck the Draft, what an antiquated piece of shit and an embarrassment to this Country. For a stupid war that was lost and should have never even participated in.

    ...Lanny, I came from a military family and I have never known anyone who fought in that horrible war who was not scarred in some way, either physically and/or mentally...and the includes my Dad.

    ...I'm sure you had to endure insults like "baby killer" etc. among other unpleasantries,...but for your service, Sir, I salute you.

    Quite the narrative. You have been for Trump and republicans the whole time. You have his picture as your avatar. You are starting to sound like him.

    Democrats are terrible

    *a republican(s) fet caught doing something wrong

    All politicians are terrible

    Trump isn't corrupt

    So what if Trump is corrupt. People were stupid to think he'd run an honest university.

    Everything should be made in America.

    Who cares if everything isn't made in America.

    Lets go to war and fuck shit up

    Who gives a fuck about war

    Get immigrants out of here. Don't pay them low wages to do our dirty work.

    Who cares if immigrants are here and getting stiffed by Trump and paid low wages

    The economy is about to get bad because of Trump's policies. Nice to see you are already trying to place the blame elsewhere.

    You sound like a man of convictions. Pick something and stay with it. Same will all you orangenosers. Pick the stances which fit the moment then change it up as situations dictate.

    ...I started to point out the same thing. But since I'm relatively new here and I'm not 100% sure of his posting history, I deferred. Thanx for reaffirming what I suspected.

    I guess we are going for the "it's gonna get worse before it gets better".

    Trump, yes
    Republicans, no

    I'm anti-career politician, if anything. I am consistent in my beliefs.

    What do you think burn it down means. We are still living in a fantasy world from the bailouts and QE. Reality needs to occur.

    It's amazing what one can learn about someone by just sitting back and reading a persons posts. I hope I never have to engage in anything with el presidente as he is clearly one that would never be in my group of friends and I have plenty from both sides,

    The bailouts in itself weren't so bad. What was bad is not putting enough restrictions on them as to how they were to be used and implemented.

    I was only called baby killer in here a long time ago. My hippy friends were just that, friends. They never criticized me, not even once.

    The only thing that disappointed me was that no one ever bought me a drink when I was in a bar in my Army khakis. No, I'm not soliciting a free drink 50 years later.

    Wrong. I should not have gone to Canada and I should not have spent a lot of money dodging the draft so someone else had to take my place. Maybe that someone else was me, dammit.

    The FBI was serious about jailing draft dodgers. We had one guy brought in in handcuffs. The two FBI agents with him unlocked the handcuffs as he stood on the step of the bus going to Ft. Lewis. As far as they were concerned he was now the Army's responsibility. Life wasn't too pleasant during Basic training. But thank God our king rat never had to go.
