Tuesday, March 17, 2026

"Just the worst nightmare we could ever imagine. 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...

"Look, I'm suffering too. I got a lot of money riding on this. I mean, a lot of money. Besides, I made your cousin a hero. What else do you want? I'd have gone in his place, but I still have bone spurs."

-- Trump, probably

I graduated high school in 1964, along with a lot of males who had a draft obligation...and ended up, one way or another in the Vietnam War. Make no mistake about it, that war was a betrayal of the service people, Nixon and Kissinger, behind the scenes, made sure the 1968 peace talks were killed, so they could get elected to the White House..true story.
And it was many years before peace was possible, and many people I knew were killed or wounded.
Once again we attack and kill Iranians to try and steal their oil.
