Oh, lookie here the Traitor Tot speaks! Just another member of the tRump clan disrespecting highly decorated officers. Generations of trumpies that did not have the guts to serve their country. Those testifying are putting Country over party. They are heros. You, Junior? You are a zero as is the rest of your ilk.
In an interview with "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday morning, the president's eldest son lashed out at Vindman, a Purple Heart recipient and Iraq War veteran, accusing him without evidence of harboring left-wing political views.
They do the usual thing, they bring in another guy that they believe is beyond reproach. Like they did with Mueller, Trump Jr. said, referring to former special counsel Robert Mueller, another decorated veteran who served in the Vietnam War.
It was a joke. So now theyll do it with this guy. Now it turns out hes talking to the Ukraine or he wanted to edit [the] transcript," Trump Jr. continued.

For more than two centuries since then, the Army has provided a home for foreign-born soldiers looking to prove their dedication to their adopted country, including the thousands of men who fought at Gettysburg in the Irish Brigade and the Polish-born General John Shalikashvili, who served as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the 1990s. On 9/11, the British-born Rick Rescorla, who earned a Silver Star for valor in the battle of Ia Drang in Vietnam, gave his life leading civilians to safety.
On the long list of immigrant soldiers is also Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, who was born in Ukraine and came to the United States at the age of 3. Vindman began his Army career as an infantry officer, earned his Ranger Tab, and later, while leading troops in Iraq, his Combat Infantrymans Badge. During that tour, he was wounded and was awarded a Purple Heart.
But what has made Vindman famous was that yesterday, he put on his dress blues and marched to Capitol Hill to testify that he witnessed potentially improper behavior by President Donald Trump. And for this act of duty, he was smeared as an untrustworthy foreigner.

(82,849 posts)Yeah, I can see why Jr. doesn't like him. He's everything the Trump family isn't.

(16,926 posts)it's going to be wonderful to see where Lt. Col. Vindman is (comfortable and confident in the service of his country) and Jr. (wearing orange, working in the laundry and looking forward to his release while serving 10 to 25).

(16,785 posts)Jr. is going down. Just like with his other grifter Brother and Sister. The State of New York is going to get them and hit them hard where it hurts. They will rue the day they were born.

(128,979 posts)Jr. needs to go to the nearest recruitment center and sign his ass up instead of insulting those who do. Hell, Biden's now-deceased son Beau was an Army JAG who deployed to Iraq.
Meanwhile big mouth Jr. is doing nothing but grifting like his con man father and ignoring his illegal immigrant mother.
Mahalo for that pic of Beau and Jill Biden, BRDS.

However thanks so much for posting that beautiful picture of Jill and Beau. Gone to soon.

(128,979 posts)I think people forget about Beau since Joe's other son has been in the midst of a smear campaign.
The GOP attacking those who came here to the U.S. and followed the rules and volunteered to give their lives, should not be mocked by these coward GOP idiots.
