Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI've been all over the internet this morning. Where is the serious outrage?
Maybe I have missed the right source. I see reports of the ugly statement by tRump but I expected to see more screaming? Who do I contact to express my outrage? This idiot who calls himself Commander-in-Chief should be drawn and quartered. There is no way to put it other than that I am a member of 2 generations of family who served in the military, heroes all.
I am sick to death to hear and read about the outrageous statement by tRump that they are losers.
Anyone who served this country in the military are heroes and we appreciate all they have done.
Has Speaker Pelosi or others in government spoken to this outrage? It should be all over the news, not just a small aside.
I saw V.P. Biden's comments. His comments are heartfelt and on point. Everyone should be screaming and contacting anyone one in Washington who might be able to get this awful statement to the public. Not just the readers of 'The Atlantic' but in every media outlet.
Where are they?.? Who can I contact about my outrage?
Why is there not more screaming? Is this outrage going to sink like some of the other tRump idiotic statements?

(11,500 posts)Too many years have gone by with leaders allowing him to say and do things and not really speaking up until it gets close to an election.
I think we are all overwhelmed by the constant barrage of things he does.
Just like a child where you say don't do that but let them get away with more and more and more not stopping them eventually they are going to do something really bad and you have no control over them.

(38,958 posts)It has been discussed here at length. Was posted in several news posts and a C-Span question of the day on Facebook and as mentioned above MSNBC has been covering it (not that I consider them to be a news station) I suspect CNN is doing the same (not that I consider them news either), The PBS Newshour had a long discussion of the topic last night as well. I don't know what you are looking at online, but the topic has been mentioned a few places.........

(17,656 posts)It seems to be the only anti-Trump issue that has any traction. If this story was reversed, than the Republicans would not let it rest before election day and beyond, screaming "lock him up."
The story, which is entirely believable because of Trump's previous utterings and actions regarding honored veterans, should be pounded daily until election day. The Republicans are constantly using the "big lie" to impress their folks, we need to use this "big truth" in the same way.
Of course, on the right wing sites all you hear about is "anonymous" sources having no value, and once again, it is "fake news" out to destroy their messiah. Hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil live.

Yesterday, I monitored a portion of the "Jay Sekulow" radio show. Today, I watched a portion of the archived video stream of that installment. Show member, Wesley Smith, was the contributor. Smith is a retired Army chaplain. The video stream purports to show his image, but I do not think it is accurate. The image shows an older man wearing a highly decorated military jacket, but I do not think that image is of Sekulow show member Wesley Smith.
ON EDIT: I corrected the last name of the contributor after my mistake was pointed out by MoonChildCA.

(1,301 posts)Wesley Clark is a retired general who ran for president in democratic primary in 2004. That sounds like who the photo is of. Later in your post, you refer to Wesley Smith.

(2,658 posts)I mistakenly typed "Clark" instead of "Smith." I do not know who is pictured in the image in the archive of the Sekulow show. I know it is not Retired General Wesley Clark, since I have been familiar with his appearance for many years.

(13,902 posts)need for Dems to scream. Biden did a great job yesterday in a quiet, classy way. The silence from the Repubs is deafening. I also think that most voters are not surprised and have already decided.

(38,449 posts)..Trump will lose more states than any other sitting President in the history of the U.S. Quiet people
will express total "outrage" at voting time. By 9pm ET ....the "Total Outrage against Trump" will be clear
to everyone in the world. The people in the U.S.A. will speak their voices and Trump doesn't have a clue.
...Donald Trump thinks he can get away with..ANYTHING..
but on the evening of November 3, 2020. he will learn that there is a price to be paid for his big mouth, total selfishness and his total stupidity. I could be wrong, but on this one, I am almost sure that I am correct.
