Seems he’s been in the news a little bit the past 24 hours. Someone made some pretty nasty inferences about why he hasn’t been on the campaign trail with his wife. Just wondering what the general reaction to those comments might be from the folks here on Vital. 

Poll

Reaction to the comments.

Since when are you so desperate and petty (as manifest by your constant sarcasm lately)?  Aplman, you've always been one that could debate and disagree with maturity and dignity, you always kept stuff above the belt (even when others didn't offer you the same consideration), though we disagree on most things, I've always respected that about you...but lately something has changed with you...It's got some EIDave "meltdown just around the corner" vibes...I hope that's not the case...but what gives? What changed?  And whatever it is, you should go back to the old Aplman...

Is Aplman the story here? I think the story is about how Trump treats military families. 
 

Trump would not stand in the rain for them.

Why does your guy treat American Military members so poorly?
 

Why does he encourage Putin to attack our allies?

 

You are OK with all of that?

There have been hundreds of these types of polls and I’ve never seen you bitch about them like you appear to be now. The only difference that I can see is that this one paints your chosen political candidate in a poor, but ultimately fair, light. 

But since you feel that this is petty and sarcastic enough to comment while you seemed fine with the other polls, what do you feel about the comments made by the candidate who absolutely knew that Major Haley has been deployed since June?  Are you supportive?  Do you think that they were appropriate?  Do you think that it reflects in any way a complete disrespect for the fact that he is serving his country?  Does that sort of disrespect infer at least some disrespect to others serving their country?

This should have been comment number 5,385 that made this dude unelectable to over 98% of the people. But nope. It’s not. He can do no wrong in their eyes. Has had some bangers lately. Telling Russia to invade NATO countries and we won’t support them. This. The list goes on. How far the Republican Party has fallen. Just 12 years ago they had a respectable candidate for POTUS.

It’s not about the poll…it’s about your recent(ish) change of posting style…even your response to my post…which was genuinely complementary of you, in the past I feel like you’d of responded differently, than the profanity laced angry reply you just made.  So what gives?

As for Trump, his comment was stupid and he should apologize.  I’ve been very clear he isn’t my first (or second or third choice)…I sincerely hoped he wouldn’t be on the general ballot…but…he will be, and between him and Biden?  It’s not even a hard decision…they are equally morally bankrupt…so based purely on policy…it’s an easy decision for Trump.

Titan, clearly this dude is still trying to come to terms with his horrible choices and total lapse of judgement. He has to feel that his pocket book has been lightened. We all have felt the cost of living increases. It's ridiculous to pretend otherwise. The current economy is easily the worst, hands down, economy I've experienced in five decades. Bring up the bullshit numbers, drink the kool-aid, and grab your ankles, but the economy sucks and is hanging on a precipice once again. These fully politically entrenched people would rather double, triple, and quadruple down on lies and deception before accepting any culpability in their choices.

BTW, the RNC chair isn't much more than a fundraising position. 

 

Of all of the crooks, liars, theives, cheats, money launderers, etc...

That's way down on the list of positions robbing is blind.

“Politically entrenched”.

 

You do know that Trump lost to Joe Biden, right?

 

Joe Biden has 99 problems, but a felony ain’t one of ‘em.

How can you look at that absolute mop on the top of his head, and say “yep, that is the guy that I think is honest.”

He lies the entire time, because you don’t have the sack to say “no”, or call him on his bullshit.

All he has done since 2016 is LOSE.

And you are hopping back on the military bashing Trump Train.

Where is Michael Haley? Serving his country.

Where is Melania? Getting her oil checked by somebody who is not disgustingly obese?

That is where my $ is.

I have a sneaky feeling there are some people here who have not served, nobody in their family has ever served, and it shows.

Trump hates the military. 
 

Remember when he was checking his watch while the soldiers HE got killed were being transferred?

Oh yeah, that was dementia Joe…
My bad.

Aplman99, it appears you have entered into “mean tweet” categories, and we are experiencing Thin Skin Syndrome.

You should be more sensitive to your political adversary, who lies and mis-characterizes people at any opportunity.

Ha ha!

 

When has he ever admitted to be wrong?

Who has he ever apologized to?

 

It is like you have no idea who we are talking about here.

The comment was that the countries not paying their share into NATO should not expect those that are to cover them. 

Its an agreement that lots of countries are not sticking to. 

You know that of course, but lets not let that get in the way of your 'Orange Man Bad'.

DONALD TRUMP: “One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, well, Sir, if we don't pay and we're attacked by Russia, will you protect us? I said, you didn't pay? You're delinquent? He said, yes, let's say that happened. No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.”

—————-

Of course, his ‘story’ is bullshit as NATO member nations don’t really pay dues or go ‘delinquent’. The agreement is to spend a minimum percentage of their GDP on military expenditures, not to pay into a common fund. But he knows that his disciples won’t know or understand that.

Bro....

His point is that they are not paying their pledged share of GDP aka "their bills".

Seeing as how we have been overpaying our share for many years as they have underpaid i'm totally ok with some tough love "talk" to let them know it's time to step up on their commitments.

AKA do what they said they would do!

 

I was really hoping you could know and understand how that works....
