NYTimes: The Bone-Spur Bozo at the White House

[spanone]

President Trump likes epithets. His latest is “wacky Congresswoman Wilson,” referring to Representative Frederica S. Wilson, the Florida Democrat who listened to his botched attempt at expressing condolences to the widow of a United States soldier killed in Niger.

So I’d like to suggest “bone-spur bozo” for the president, referring, of course, to the five military draft deferments Trump received during the Vietnam War, one of which was a medical deferment for bone spurs in his feet. (They never apparently affected his life, or golf swing, thereafter).

Repetition is part of Trump’s arsenal. The bone-spur bozo residing in the Oval Office, surrounded by terrified sycophants, has sinister talents. Turning the solemn rites of loss in the line of military duty into a squalid, race-tinged scandal is some achievement.

Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona and a decorated Vietnam War veteran, picked up on those foot issues in a C-Span interview the other day. McCain, who is fighting brain cancer, said of the conflict: “We drafted the lowest income level of America, and the highest income level found a doctor that would say they had a bone spur.”

1. Bone-spur Bozo* has a certain ring of authenticity

* republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

[GopherGal]

16. Bone Spurs - the correct initials, at least...

[cilla4progress]

2. And, dare I say, his supporters,

as well. That is, fake patriots and knee-knocking scaredy cats...false and full of fear.

[BSdetect]

3. Fake draft dodging bone spur. Pure fake bozo.

[BSdetect]

4. I bet there never was a bone spur.

Show us the latest scan of that so we can see what a liar you are.

You lied and faked a bone spur.

You fucking fraud scum.

[not fooled]

11. However

after years of toting his orange lardass around, his feet might have rebelled and actually developed bone spurs. Just decades after the Vietnam war, of course. And the radiographs wouldn't match the one he used to shirk duty and have another American suffer and possibly die in his place, while he chased tail and otherwise debauched himself.

13. He has said the spur was later cured by surgery, which is medically possible, I think.

At least now. In the 1960's, I wonder.

Google heel bone spurs. Fascinating x-rays.

[Scarsdale]

14. Why does everyone

cater to this clown? The gop will regret this, hopefully SOON. It is so obvious that there is something mentally wrong with the person (I refuse to call him a MAN)

[lunatica]

5. I've taken up saying Failed Human Being

Maybe I should use the word Loser in there because it's his favorite insult. Failed Loser Human Being.

6. to say nothing of the fact that, even back then bone spurs

could be fixed w pretty simple surgery. gimme a break.
unless daddy didnt want to spend the money on him. hahahahhaaaa

7. It would be great if OPs like this gave the name of the writer of the piece being excerpted. . nt

15. Thanks! . . nt

8. I dont like it. Its benign. Reminds me of litterbug, another cutsie moniker

that has no impact.

Want a moniker for tRump? How about “President Grab Your Daughter By The Pussy”? That pretty much says it all. It’s not only truthful and based on his being a sexual predator, it has the advantage of shoving into people’s faces exactly what lies at the very core of the person currently occupying the Oval Office. It’s a moniker that can’t be “niced up” so easily.

[Jakes Progress]

9. I'm partial to baby don.

[Liberalagogo]

12. I just call him

PigFucker.

But I doubt that'll catch on.

Of course he'll always be RUMP to me.
