I did communications in the Marines. And you know, gay people do occasionally actually become couples. And just as my Straight Marine friends would introduce me to their girlfriends or boyfriends.. you know Gay folks do that to with people they

1. Trust
2. Dont feel they will be Judged by for their life style.

I know its hard to accept that gay people could have possibly served when you were in, but the reality is that 6.5% of service members openly report as gay, another 4-6% have not self reported. SO if 10% of the service is gay, odds are you knew at least 1 of the 10% of the military that was gay when you served, even if you didnt know it.

Well...considering only 4% - 10% of the population is gay, I think those numbers are a bit off.

Maybe the enlisted just trusted the officers to do their job is they reported.

All politicians lie, I think we all know this. But by saying "I don't know" you appear to be saying Trump does not lie, only Obama. Is this really your position? REALLY?
your interpretations are foolish , its simple call them all out for lying and be offended or call none out

BULL AND/OR SHIT!! Cowards aren't committed to anything beyond their own well being. Remember your "run like a sissy" comment? Well Trump did exactly that by getting all of those deferments instead of stepping up like a fuckin' man! Don't ever, compare that whiney little bitch to any of us who put our lives on the line when the country needed us to do that!

Truthfully I was referring to his commitment to the here and now but it got taking out of context and spun to make him look really bad. That usually doesnt happen by you all either (insert sarcasm).. never mind the fact that Obama nor Clinton ever served or in fact that less than half the presidents have. Listen holmes.. im sure if your pappy was a millionaire plus your life would have gone a different path too. So sick of people acting holier than thou because you may have done something different or acted a different way. Truth is we all live different lives and act accordingly. You can hate on the man but don't judge. Its like me condemning someone whose down in the dumps who gets caught stealing food to feed his family. I can hate on him cause its still wrong but I certainly shouldn't feel that im better. Who knows how any of us would act if we had anybody’s life other than ours... all im saying.

Actually, when you offer yourself up as a political candidate, you open yourself up to be judged. That goes with the territory.

Again I acknowledged all politicians lie. However when asked about supporting a President who lies as much as Trump does your response was "I don't know, ask Obama supporters" which can only be interpreted to mean you believe Obama lies but Trump does not.

Yep and someone needs to explain that to the President, not that he will listen. . Instead of realizing this is all part of the job he is constantly crying like a little bitch when people are mean to him. Not a good look for a world leaders. It just makes him look petty and immature, which of course he is just that.

I hope that you're not offended by this question so in advance I mean no harm by asking it. In what age range do you fall? 20 or under, 20-30, 40-50, greater than 50?

Oh I understand where you’re going with this. Since I don’t see the world as you do I can’t be as old and as wise as you. Please spare me. My age is irrelevant to these discussions. I see the world my way and you see it as yours. Regardless of age. I will say that I have lived enough years on this earth to understand the mindset of each race. Such as yours.

You hate Trump. We get it. Your party cannot do wrong. We get it. You believe everything your network tells you. We get it. All good.

You hate Trump. We get it. Your party cannot do wrong. We get it. You believe everything your network tells you. We get it. All good.

There's that illogical mind at work again. The question has nothing to do with comparing your age related POV to my own. I merely didn't want to continue dealing with someone who wasn't mature enough to understand the difference between an emotional response and a fact based one. People 20 and under generally are identifiable by the posts that they make and since yours are truly rather silly in nature, I wanted to be sure.

Honestly, I don't believe that you see the world at all, just a very narrow view of it and even that is colored by your inability to separate fact from emotion.

As an example, let's show your narrow mindedness. You wrote, "You, (meaning me) hate Trump" and this is a definite tell about you. In several recent posts, I've asked you questions about your love of country and how that relates to Trump's attempt to upend the rule of law, remember? So, here you are, still using an emotional argument when what's at question isn't how I feel about Trump, but one about love of country and defending the rule of law.

What's my party? For the record, I've been a independent since 1976, the two party system is horribly broken and I won't support either party, just the best of the two candidates until it's fixed or replaced.

What's my network? I've posted news articles for all manner of reporting points of view. Those things that are known or proved to be true are called facts what difference does it make where they are generated?

All in all your pitiful rant, especially that dumb assed remark about race, proves the narrow mindedness point doesn't it?

Oh I don't think there is any doubt about that. Bit let's not forget his entire platform was built on shaking things up. When you present polarizing positions, and are heard doing things like bragging about grabbing pussies, this is going to happen. He need to put his big boy pants on and understand this. Instead his lack of maturity comes out resulting in more criticism.

Yeah it kind of happens when he brags about grabbing pussies. Point is he is a fucking baby
And you've never said anything in confidence to someone about any woman. You holier than thou types are amusing to say the least.

First, he is petty and immature. Second, this is why you get the responses you do from the so called Trump supporters. Every President complained about being judged, usually by the press. Trump doesn’t own the franchise on that behavior. Has he taken it to a new level? Possibly. But in all honesty, no president in my history has ever been scrutinized like he has, fairly and unfairly, by the press as much as Trump.
