Just Heard On MSM That Trump's People Are Saying Hillary And The Dems Are Politicizing The Khan....

Last edited Mon Aug 1, 2016, 08:47 PM - Edit history (1)

speech at the DNC and are the ones that are keeping it in the current news cycle.

Correct me if I'm wrong - but isn't it the MSM that is making this the big news cycle story and not the Hillary campaign?

is a giant asshat who cannot tolerate being called out. If, on Friday when Stephanopoulos first asked him about it, Trump had just said, "I appreciate the sacrifice the Khans and their son made for this country and respect their right to their opinion. I disagree." That would have been the end of it. Instead, he keeps tweeting about it and keeps claiming that HE is the injured party. And now he has surrogates out there trying to claim that the Khans and their son are terrorists. He is fucknuts crazy and a really shitty politician. There is no way this story should have dominated the news cycle for more than 24 hours.

This is the exact same thing as the Melania speech...only there is nothing coming up soon that will make it go away and a whole lot of pissed off military families that have seen their sacrifices and lost loved ones diminished by a Talking Yam with ego issues and a tenuous hold on reality.

They can't spin this one...this is "At long last, have you no decency?" for the 21st century.

trying to throw out as much chum and distraction as they can.
They're praying for a new news cycle. Heck, Trump even
got Murdock to post his wife's soft porn scenes in the NYPost
to try to change the topic.

On Friday morning, all he had to do was say this:

I Admire the sacrifice of Captain Khan and grieve with his parents.

STORY FUCKING OVER!!!

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

The Weaselheaded Fucktrumpet JUST HAD TO EXERT HIS EGO DRIVEN DOMINANCE OVER THESE GRIEVING PARENTS!!!

So the Mangled Apricot Hellbeast is the one to blame here. HE kept the story going!

And Dems are fairly quiet.

Donald picked the wrong family to bully, this father is educated, motivated, and has a bone to pick. The Khans are losses off now and thu don't have to shut up.

They just showed him at a rally, he looks beaten and tired. Talked about how hard it is to run and that he could be "living a really good life" if he wasn't running.

He looks ready to quit.
