    He was smoking 3 cigars a day and crushing pills despite his doctor's warnings , that's basically like parachuting behind enemy lines

    Adelson is a "useful idiot" to the Republican Hate Machine. She donates huge sums to Trump and pro-Israel causes as noted. Yet, she is Jewish and generally reviled by the "born-agains and fundamentalists". She also is spending a large sum of money to lobby to legalize gambling in Texas, which is a direct assault on the supremacy of the "religious right" that have labeled gambling as a "great sin".

    The moment she stops writing checks, the majority of fake-Christian Republicans would not only not shed a tear but may even celebrate her death.

    This, BTW, was in the context of a Presidential Freedom Medal he gave to a Republican Donor …. He thinks giving medals to his donors is more meaningful than giving medals to soldiers who died or were wounded while showing exceptional bravery.

    Anything in our country that is real, attempts to be fair, seeks the truth, what is just, will eventually be in direct opposition to trump. A few examples - our voting system, federal & international law enforcement agencies (fbi, cia), our courts, and the media-trump even turned on fox when they reported the truth. Now it’s the Medal of Honor. trump is envious that such prestige is given to its recipients. And with his recent comments on the MoH, maybe even spiteful. All because trump is, without hyperbole, a combination of corrupt and narcissistic.

    I guess all the people who have been vilifying Walz on here are sleeping in today.

    In a way he sacrificed his life based on a principle, that principle being that government regulation of tobacco is bad as are government financed anti-smoking campaigns.

    I was thinking the same thing.

    I would like to get @vegasfox, @Tjgators and @Gatorrick22 opinions on their loudly alleged Walz's stolen valor and trump's attempt to diminishing Congressional Medal of Honor recipients' valor by claiming it is less than that of large campaign donors. Thoughts, guys?

    Doesn’t he already wear a big red sash? He just doesn’t know it is supposed to drape over one shoulder…

    If you tell us how many times Walz has been to China... 30 times? 40 times? And for what?

    Nothing worse than a prospective Vice President who has interacted with the world's 2nd most powerful country in hopes of world peace, free trade, and mutual prosperity... /s

    There is nothing - not one thing - Drumpf could say or do to shake the blind allegiance of his cult followers.

    What does that have to do with stolen valor? Are you deflecting?

    If you want to know about his travels to China, there is sufficient reporting available. Do your own work.

    Now what are your thoughts on trump's demeaning of medal of honor winners?
