We trust in God that he will comfort us and be with our family," Stephan Douglas, whose 28-year-old cousin was one of 6 who died in an Air Force refueling crash, told NBC4 in Ohio. "We believe this could have been prevented. It's a sad day." Douglas added that "We didn't need to be in this war."

The silver-spooned morbidly obese draft dodging pedophilic president referred to his war as an "excursion."

"We didn't need to be in this war."

Well how else was the------------ going to distract from the Trumpstein files?

I mean, he tried murdering Americans in Minnesota, beating and incarcerating Americans in concentration camps, murdering Venezuelan fishermen, nation building in Venezuela, bombing Ecuador, threatening greenland and Canada.

Nothing else was working, so sure it had to be to attack Iran and plunge the US into a recession.

Careful. If reporters accurately reporting the war are committing treason, then families of the fallen who are ungrateful for the chance their loved ones had to give their lives for Trump and country (ok...just Trump) has got to be like ultra treason, the worst treason in history, worse than you'd ever believe.

The DNC should put this family front and center at the remainder of Trump's SOTU word salads, then interview them live on air to personally blame Trump.
If the GOP can do it to Hillary, then...
