Fact. It was pretty standard to give all E6 and above a Bronze Star for a deployment, and E5 and below an ARCOM. Also, his rack is pretty small for an LTC, is this guy active duty? I had heard his twin is active duty as well, but he travels the globe for business. Quote HistoryQuoted:

How did tubby deploy, get wounded, and NOT get a Bronze Star? Convoy on the way into theater? Mortar hit the FOB? I’ve never seen a Field Grade Army officer with one but not the other. -unless they were blown up in the Khobar Towers.

Quote HistoryQuoted: At the general officer level there may be an element of truth to this. Below that - "field grade officers" - this is an extremely kooky statement. That's just not how it works. All the herpa derp nuttiness in here is the power of propaganda I guess (Fox) and maybe the natural tendency to want to believe. Like the guy said, the ghost of Chesty Puller could come down and dislike the color orange, and he'd be a commie. We should hope some wackadoodle doesn't take all the "coup" BS too seriously. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The bigger picture is they tried to set him up with a charge of colluding with the Russians to throw the election - which was totally fabricated, with faked evidence planted in the news which was used to get a bought and paid for judge to approve a wiretap. That wiretap was supposedly meant to find actual conversations that could be twisted to substantiate the charges and provide more evidence. Trump moved out of Trump Towers and it all fell apart. From there, once in office, he investigated THEM and found evidence proving they were fabricating false charges, and in the process, committing high treason for their own personal interests. Since then it's become apparent why so many in politics were getting rich, how they were doing it, and who they were colluding with to make it happen. It's been a two year revelation of corruption, with El Chapo certainly icing the cake by saying in open court he bought and paid for Pelosi, Beto, and others in our government. Considering how they have been reacting to every opportunity to remove Trump from office, with some openly calling for his death, you have to wonder why things have moved so slowly. Welcome to the party, we've been watching this for quite some time. The latest chapter - to throw shade on Trump about anything Ukraine, because Ukraine has been a massive under the table payoff for most of the top Democrats, with payouts going to family, thru corporations and into their bank accounts. By making a lot of noise about it they are - once again - trying to confuse and misinform the voters. They do this with the complete collusion of the media, who is owned by 6 corporations now, and who has as a majority owner in all six a Saudi Prince who supports the Democrats agenda to oust Trump by any means possible. Don't be surprised when you see a consistent front of opposition from the major networks - it's ordered by the owner to do that regardless of the real facts. These are historic times and it's getting better every week. One revelation of corruption after another. |

The other stuff we are seeing about him just adds to it. Yeah, as someone who came here at 3, you realize he was raised by parents from an alien culture. Even those born here from foreign parents often have their ideas driven by their ethnic origins. Hence why we have had Islamic terrorists attacks by American born Muslims. |

Their narrative suffers from lack of underlying facts. You can see this in a number of ways, for example, your point. And also how Schiff et al have to do this in secret with a hog tied GOP. Even with the media in their pocket, they are struggling with this. There is still a limit on how far you can go with lies. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Unless the words used by Trump were "I've cut off aid to you until you give me Hunter Biden's head on a pike", I really don't give a shit what the opinions of someone else listening to the call thinks of how it might be "interpreted". Even then, I'd rather a slimy Republican president than any Democrat. And if you enjoy the namesake of this website, you should too. In fact, I expect they get to the bottom of what the hell was going on with our taxpayer dollars in a notoriously corrupt country. I expect that to happen because WE ARE FUCKING BROKE! Why are we giving billions in aid so the spawn of Democrats get millions in kickbacks. Dumbass moron Joe Biden bragged about screwing Ukraine on aid unless they fired the prosecutor. It's on tape. Read that fucking transcript! It was a Joe Biden shake down of Ukraine plain as day. |

Read that fucking transcript! It was a Joe Biden shake down of Ukraine plain as day. Did Trump ask Ukraine to look into corruption into Biden. Yep. Was that a legal request? Yes. Did Trump withhold money for that request? All evidence says nope. Was it done for political reasons? Maybe yes... maybe no... probably yes. The Dems have now moved past the quid pro quo, because of lack of evidence, and are now pushing the “request to investigate”, if you can call it that, as impeachable. That is not a winning strategy when Trump can argue it was done to root out corruption. |

I hate Geraldo Rivera less and less each day.
The impeachment inquiry by House Democrats against President Trump is "grotesquely unfair and divisive," Fox News correspondent-at-large Geraldo Rivera said Friday, warning that it will lead to unprecedented political division in the country. "The Speaker of the House, the Democrats have crafted an impeachment which is inherently divisive and made it so very unfair as to enrage Republicans and other fair-minded people," said Rivera on "Fox & Friends." "It is so deeply and fundamentally unfair, I predict it will lead to the kind of Tea Party uprising we saw in 2009 and 2010. It will divide this country along partisan lines in a way we have heretofore never seen and I do not believe it will result in justice." |

Foreign policy is a function of the executive branch of government. Excepting the ratification of treaties and a few other minor things, the State Department is subordinate to the President, and the President can personally act in the furtherance thereof.
Enforcement of law is a function of the executive branch. With a few exceptions, the FBI, the Secret Service, the Marshal Service, and the Department of Justice are subordinate to the President, who is the highest-ranking federal law enforcement agent in the country. As such, he is within his rights to direct an investigation of possible federal crimes OR to conduct such an investigation personally - up to and including making an arrest. The military AND EVERY ONE IN IT OR WORKING FOR IT is a function of and subordinate to the executive branch, and thus the President, as Cmmander In Chief. Excepting appropriations. Intelligence is a function of the executive branch, and just like the FBI above, the CIA, DIA, NSA, et all, are subordinate to the President of the United States. Running a primary campaign for a national officer confers no immunity to investigation and prosecution for violation of law (see: campaign finance violation). Therefor the President has power to order, or personally investigate an alleged crime committed by such a person, even if - ESPECIALLY if - said alleged criminal is attempting to secure the nomination of a political party to run against the sitting POTUS. Do I have any of this wrong? |

Therefor the President has power to order, or personally investigate an alleged crime committed by such a person, even if - ESPECIALLY if - said alleged criminal is attempting to secure the nomination of a political party to run against the sitting POTUS. Do I have any of this wrong? Which is why this is so confusing to anyone with a moral compass that pays attention to what has been going on. The transcript has been out longer than the accusations so to speak yet they keep going with it. They are IMO desperate. They are trying to convince the world there is a crime when there isn't one at all and I think they're willing to go a long way with this. The Howell decision will be interesting because that will open up grand jury materials to Nadler for the other pincer move the Democrats believe they are making. |

Quoted:
It seems they're all working together to create the same narrative. No he shouldn't ignore the subpoena. He should've only discussed facts. His job is not about his feelings or concerns or creating a narrative. At this point I don't believe what CNN says or what Dems in congress say, or what any entrenched government employee who is critical of Trump says. I expect them to continue attacking POTUS until they are smacked down hard. My starting assumption on any story involving Trump is that those that oppose him are lying about him again. This is because they have been lying nonstop for over three years now. |
