Trump. It felt like it was out of a movie. "Have you read the Constitution? Here, I have a copy (pulls out of his jacket pocket) I'll loan you mine."

"I want to protect Article I, Article II, Article XII, going down the list." There is no Article XII.

something to see..
There was more of America on stage here than the whole fucking GOP convention.

Hey Vladimir Putin, when you are watching tv and smirking, do remember, there are plenty more Americans like Khan, as opposed to Trump.

“I’ve given up a tremendous amount to run for president,” Trump told Blitzer. “I gave up two more seasons of Celebrity Apprentice."

Losing a child is the worst pain any parent can experience. The worst. My heart goes out to these parents, that's a pain that never goes away. The dad is so right, Trump has sacrificed nothing. Not him, and certainly not his sons. They never had to prove themselves, like the Khan family has. They collect their checks from daddy, the only person they have ever had to "work" for, and for fun ,they kill beautiful exotic animals. Wealthy as the Trump family may be, one thing they can never buy, is the courage, honor , integrity and and decency of Army Capt. Humayun S.M. Khan and his family.

It is truly something to behold. The love for our country sustains them. Wonderful but so tragic.

"I do not believe -- and I know this is a horrible thing to say -- but I do not believe that the president loves America," said Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and one-time presidential contender, according to Politico. "He doesn't love you. And he doesn't love me. He wasn't brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country."
