In regard to Joe Biden, unlike most of the conservatives here, I have great compassion for anyone whose uncle was eaten by cannibals.

C'mon man. You know that can't be good.

:cool:

Okay. We can give him that but, I am sure the cannibals got nourishment from their meal so, that is a good thing.
 
Why the Words ‘Suckers’ and ‘Losers’ Bother Trump So Much

https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-two-simple-words-bother-trump-so-much

Fury over ad highlighting comments about fallen U.S. soldiers shows Trump and his campaign can dish out his favorite insults but hate taking them in return.

Donald Trump has always been comfortable hurling insults. Yet for all his bluster, the more the 2024 U.S. presidential election heats up, the more one thing becomes clear: The former president can dish it, but when it comes to a specific type of insult, he can’t take it.

He hates being called a “loser.” Or, for that matter, a “sucker.”

Those words came to the fore again on Sunday, when Trump demanded Joe Biden’s campaign take down an attack ad quoting back at Trump some of his most infamous insults: those directed towards U.S. soldiers, including those killed in combat.

As first reported by The Atlantic in 2020 and later confirmed by John Kelly, the retired U.S. Marine Corps general who became Trump’s second White House chief of staff, in conversations around a canceled visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France in 2018, Trump called fallen U.S. soldiers both “losers” and “suckers.”


Trump has always denied the remarks. But after the Biden campaign included them in its ad released last week, while President Joe Biden visited Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s anger showed his opponent had gotten under his skin.

First, at a rally in Las Vegas on Sunday, Trump told supporters Biden “said I stood over graves of soldiers and I said: ‘These people are suckers and losers, the dead soldiers from World War I.’’’ Labeling the whole episode “made up,” Trump said the Biden campaign were “sick people” for making the ad.

Later, Trump posted similar comments to his Truth Social platform, adding: “The Military hates Crooked Joe, and all of the failure he represents. Take down the Fake Ad, Joe.”

Contacted for comment on Monday, Chris LaCivita, Trump’s co-campaign manager and a combat veteran wounded in the Gulf War, unleashed a furious near-200-word statement.

“The Biden campaign is peddling a fake and thoroughly debunked story about President Trump’s visit to France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I,” LaCivita said.

“Numerous first-hand accounts—even from people like John Bolton and Alyssa Farrah—vehemently denied the bogus claims from unnamed sources looking to use American heroes for their sick and twisted political attacks.”

Bolton and Farrah were Trump aides before turning against him.

LaCivita continued: “The fact remains that severe weather conditions on that day prevented the safe transportation of the President and guests to the cemetery, and he participated in a ceremony at the Suresnes American Cemetery the next day. The Biden team is desperate because they know Biden has repeatedly disrespected the men and women who serve this country with honor and valor every single day.

“Joe Biden has disrespected U.S. service members by calling them ‘silly bastards,’ showed his lack of empathy by repeatedly checking his watch during a solemn ceremony for soldiers killed during the catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal, and has been criticized by Gold Star families for his lack of respect. The fact is that under Biden, America is weaker on the world stage and has made America more vulnerable.”

In 2016, as vice president, Biden called an audience of service members “stupid bastards”—a comment intended as a joke. Controversy continues over his behavior when attending the return of the remains of soldiers killed in the withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, a ceremony that generated complaints from bereaved family members.

Even before the new Biden campaign ad drew a fierce response from Trumpworld, however, former and current Trump officials who spoke with The Daily Beast agreed that among all Trump’s controversies, the one over the “suckers” and “losers” comments is one that really bothers its subject.

“He just has no concept of service, that’s the main thing here,” said one former senior Trump White House official, granted anonymity to speak candidly about a president who as a young man avoided wartime service in Vietnam. “So it’s really difficult for him to imagine why people would even [serve in combat]. It’s just a whole foreign thing to him.”

A high-ranking Trumpworld strategist, meanwhile, said Trump’s fury over the Biden campaign’s use of the “suckers” and “losers” comments pointed to perhaps Trump’s biggest fear: being called a “loser” himself.

“The biggest insult to him to get under his skin is that he lost in 2020, he lost his court case, and he’s convicted now” on 34 criminal charges, the strategist said.

In comparison, the strategist said, “You can call him fat, call him an insurrectionist, call him a racist, [but] that’s just not gonna stick.”

Going to the molten core of Trump’s ego—that’s how Democrats can provoke the strongest response, the GOP strategist said.

“I think his deepest fear, or the deepest psychology with Donald Trump is that he [didn’t win] the 2020 election [when] he’s won everything in life,” the Republican said. “That’s the pressure. He’s married hot women, he built famous buildings, he had a highly rated, successful TV show. And he became president, right?”

But according to the Republicans who spoke to The Daily Beast, Trump’s blow-up over the Biden ad revealed that despite the perceived professionalism of his current campaign team, the candidate’s insecurities have only gotten worse with time.

While none of the Trumpworld figures were certified psychologists, what they were describing effectively amounted to projection. Trump’s favorite insult is also the one he fears most when applied to him: being called a “loser.”



 
Joe comes out with yet another statement today about how he and Jill are so proud of Hunter and his recovery, blah, blah, blah. Okay. He gets some room to say whatever he has to say being family and all. Say what you gotta say.

However, he says that all the time. And I ask: Just how the hell do you or the rest of us or anyone know that he has recovered? By his own admission, he has been in rehab six times or more. And part of his defense was that he was not a drug user on the day of the gun purchase because he might not have actually been high on that hour in the day. So you can see that they have a very loose definition of "recovered."

Tough day for Joe, and because I am a giver, I will let him say what he needs to say.

Starting tomorrow though, Joe, I would like you to knock off the bullshit. Thanking you in advance.

Trump’s New Comments on Taylor Swift Will Gross You Out

“I think she’s beautiful—very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump {because she actually has a functioning brain}. I hear she’s very talented. I think she’s very beautiful, actually—unusually beautiful,” he told Ramin Setoodeh, Variety’s co–editor in chief and the author of the book.

I’m just going to point out the Donald Trump and Hunter Biden are heading to the Supreme Court while Joe Biden is over in Europe trying to remind the world of what is actually important - Freedom and Democracy.

The internet has turned many of yall into tabloid voters.

I don't drink, but if I could find out what you are drinking I might order a gallon.

Joe's goal for the week is to see if this is the day that he can find two socks that match.

I surfed by a network today that was showing how Biden has spent a pantload on student load forgiveness but the polls are showing that his numbers are hurting even more in that category.

WOMPTIDDY....womp.....womp


Most of you- but not all- are smart enough to see what the next move will be on the part of Camp Biden. The moment they can get some ceasefire in Gaza he and his bootlickers will propose a gigantic, gigantic reconstruction plan for Gaza.

I can't think of a better way to alienate the few remaining voters he has so it is almost assured that they will do it. What a disaster it will be too. It will further alienate jews. It will alienate those who already do not like Ukraine-type funding. It will alienate those who want even more for Ukraine. It will alienate the poor shleppers in Chicago who thought they were citizens but have now been reduced to beggars behind the "newcomers." Something for everyone to hate. So we know Joe can do it.
