Well, it turns out Dan Grilo really did get himself fired for that little tweet about Owens' widow.

Hard to justify shit like that. Sometimes exercising our rights has consequences

Sometimes you get fired, sometimes you lose a book deal. Seems like words do have consequences.

Trump sent her husband to die and then blames the military for the botched raid.  

She shows up at Trump's speech and allows herself to be used as a really tacky political tool.

And Grilo is the asshole for pointing these things out? Such an asshole that he's fired from his job for expressing a legitimate opinion?

That other thread was right, conservatives are learning how to use fake outrage and bunched panties just as well as the pussy left.

When you put it that way, Trump sounds like an asshole.

2,499 U.S. soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq so far under President Obama, according to the independent Iraq Coalition Casualty Count.

But that number is from some liberal rag so I doubt it's accurate, right? I mean, Trump gave the okay to one raid and one soldier died so obviously he is now the worst commander in chief.

Someone has a case of Giulianitis!

[Blarg]

Someone has a case of blinders!

[arch stanton]

Those numbers might lead you to believe Obama inherited 2 wars

[Blarg]

And involved the US in a third by missmanaging both.

What does the war in Afghanistan and Iraq have to do with Trump trotting out a recent widow in a political stunt?

It's not about that.  It's about how he deflected about it (not my fault, blame the military, blame Obama!) and then basked in the glow of the applause for his widow right after that.  That's one of many things that make him a shitbag.  In my time I've seen plenty of presidents use the military as a prop, but this is the most galling in recent memory.  Fucking disgusting.  First the mission was a failure and the military was to blame, then suddenly it was a great success and the American troop that died (never mind the rest of the casualties) is smiling down from Heaven because of applause.

Blarg are you referring to us leaving Iraq and the rise of ISIS?

[Blarg]

We never really left Iraq but missmanagement opened the door so now there is a three country boots on the ground   conflict involving Afghanistan, Iraq & Syria. But let's sweep all of those casualties under the rug because Obama never had to stand there and say this or that military interaction caused a US soldiers death. Nope, one Navy Seal is really the focus because... Hillary lost.

But this was Yemen. We're not at war there, are we? This was about Cowboy Donnie riding his white horse, Deferment, into the middle east and being tough on terrorists. He wanted to make a big splash and by golly that 8 year old girl had it coming.

[Glen]

Jesus. Let go of Hillary, man. The rest of us already have.

Obama bombed Yemen 34 times. One of those attacks resulted in the death of Anwar al-Awlaki, the senior recruiter/motivator and planner of terrorist attacks for Al-Qaeda. Anwar's 16-year old son was killed 2 weeks later as a result of another Obama-ordered attack in Yemen.  The 8-year old girl you are referring to was Anwar's daughter. 

These brave warriors surround themselves with women and children, including their wives and daughters, with the realization that they are putting them in the direct line of fire.  Unfortunately for that innocent girl, her fate was sealed long before January 29,2017.  She has daddy to thank for that.

Bombed Yemen. Bombed them because only an asshat trying to make his own name would be dumb enough to try a commando raid on a reinforced encampment.

I'm sure you know this, but if you are looking to acquire imortant info contained on computers, flash drives, cell phones, etc. it really isn't a good idea to bomb the building housing those items.

Many of you before the election even happened. 

By the way, I still can't believe you only got 1 vote.
