Nope. There was a follow on that explained the process to verify a service member was killed which then kicks off the POTUS contact activities. Left in the margin would be that the AP report, which initiated the discussion about families not being contacted, has names of people that did not get through the vetting process, therefore anyone not contacted by the WH/president has to be because of a problem with the military that owns the process.

Hey, maybe its true, but that is a shitty explanation.

SHS said that John Kelly was on the call and that is Trump's proof.

Yeah, let's pit a Gold Star dad against another Gold Star family. This is disgraceful.

I so much want to be snarky about this whole shit show, but I cannot because of the gravity of the situation and any disrespect that I might accidentally generate in the name of a laugh. I just can't go there.

Greg Pence, one of Mike Pence's older brothers, has filed a tax document indicating he will seek the eastern Indiana congressional seat that the vice president and former governor represented for 12 years.


Yea, amateur hour meets family business in the swamp. Sounds about right.

Post reported that a father of a soldier killed in Afghanistan a few months ago that Trump told him in a call that he would give the family $25k and have his staff establish an online fundraiser for them

Neither promise happened

"He said, 'I'm going to write you a check out of my personal account for $25,000,' and I was just floored," Baldridge said. "I could not believe he was saying that, and I wish I had it recorded because the man did say this. He said, 'No other president has ever done something like this,' but he said, 'I'm going to do it.'

Ted Cruz just tweeted a Zodiac Killer letter to Ben Sasse, after he tweeted he was wearing a "Lee Harvey Oswald was Framed" t-shirt.

I hate that I like that tongue in cheek exchange. Also, ballsy for Ted to admit to it.

He can't help but lie every single moment. He says nothing that is 100% true or genuine, ever.
you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

Sarah said that General Kelly is disgusted that this has been politicized. The this would be dragging his son into the ring, right, then pitting him against another Gold Star family, right, so he is pissed at the president...

*tap, tap, tap, is this thing on, tap, tap tap... hello, anyone out there?

General Kelly should know that there is a huge difference between being a 'good soldier', and being a prop in a confidence scam, so exiting stage right is not a personal failure but perhaps a great service to the nation.
