MODERATORS
I dont understand what his protest was for. I'm sure there is extreme emotional duress from losing a child that recently, but what was the goal or message here?
Make Biden look bad.
Made himself look like a fool who cares more about politics than the death of his son to me.
I'd give him a break due to his grieving, but honestly, it's pathetic that he would let his love for his son be manipulated for political points.
He was literally trying to use his son's death to help the man who gave the orders that got his son killed.
Conservatism seems, in my estimation, to be invariably vague in its ideology. Nothing is truly valued beyond the narrative.
The narrative isn't even valued. How many times does Trump say something and then pretend he never said it. Or other members of the GOP say "I don't think he really means that". All that's valued is pissing off the liberals by being arrogant, loud jerks.
None of the people on the right seem to know that Trump negotiated that deal.
Turns out the moderators of this forum are in this group. Read the other comment chains here.
Was his goal necessarily to help Trump?
True, I've assumed too much. It just falls right in that Fox news narrative from 2 years back they were doing a lot.
Guess he's a Russian now too.
