  1. See the Truth and the Lie for what it is. No smoke, mirror can obscure the Truth, it lays in hearts and minds, it is known, it does not require submission of decency. The Lie on the other hand requires submission of reason, the cloak of willful ignorance and the Lie must be repeated. The Truth stands alone whether we like it or not. Crush the Beast Trump and his Goons 2020!

  2. Why did Trump lie and do nothing to protect America ? Maybe he forgot, maybe he is so stupid he believes in magical thinking, maybe Putin was advising him, maybe he has been suffering a stroke since he came down the escalator, maybe he is the “End Times” personified. Will he make to Nov. 3rd ?

  3. Just the other day I asked, what more could be revealed about our glorious leader to diminish his standing in the cesspool that is his life. He had just been exposed has hating vets, calling them Losers and Suckers. I wondered when that outrage would be so yesterday by yet something uglier. Imagine he knew how bad Covid would be and kept it to himself. 200 thousand dead later and counting. God have mercy

  4. Hey we witnessed the betrayal in Helsinki, We heard him disparaging McCain, Gold Star Families, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Handicapped People, Our Allies and now OUR NATIONS Heroes. 53 days. His too unfit to see what a disgrace he is.
    Soldiers must follow Lawful orders, Vets answer to higher authority. Protect the Ballot.

  5. republicans: “We will never forget!”
    Also republicans: “We’re going to cut funding for the 9/11 first responders health care fund.”

    1. 9/11 was Trumps also right? why stop there… why not blame him for the millions of babies killed by planned parenthood, or the 700,000 people who died in other countries from covid?

    2. @Paul Wilson I’m not sure why you’re getting so defensive. Must be TDS. Stewart never blames Trump for this, it has been an ongoing issues for years now, preceding Trump. Just as how the 9/11 victims healthcare was an ongoing issue. Just because your orange daddy is in charge right now doesn’t mean everything is about him.

    1. They also deny, “Gulf War Syndrome,” which is a combination of these pits, depleted Uranium weapons, and the Anthrax vaccine which contains Squalene and Quinolones. Quinolone Toxicity is very real, and disabling from cleaving your healthy DNA, in the same manner it kills bacteria (cleavage at the TOP II & IV sites of topoisomerases), and restructures your connective tissue. Anyone wonder why they are no longer utilizing HCQ on the active troops? The data from VA study on COVID cases proved it was twice as deadly compared to other therapeutic treatment. The VA does not care about our military members as that report has still not been published to protect people. Held up for peer review.

    2. I knew a guy that had agent Orange and his skin would redden in patches all over his body for a few weeks then it would clear up then just outta nowhere come back again this was how he lived his life it was terrible to watch.

  6. The first Act to compensate Vietnam vets for Agent Orange exposure didn’t come until 1991. For the gov’t to act like it didn’t know that inhaling jet fuel fumes is dangerous is an outright lie; it’s been demonstrated in research since as early as 1999 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK207624/). So since they’ve known for at least 20 years, now would be a good time to fess up and 1) stop exposing soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines to hazardous materials without adequate protection, and 2) start treating vets and active duty military, and start giving disability compensation to those affected, including dependents.
