    I’m not an apologist. Show me, directly from the horse’s mouth what Trump said. I searched for it, but it’s all about the accusation made about Trump making a statement.

            There’s a difference between disrespecting a specific person, which I don’t agree with vs disrespecting dead servicemen and women.

            If anyone can provide the proof from the horse’s mouth that’d be great. Otherwise all I’m seeing is a rumor and we’re all supposed to believe it, blindfully. I don’t roll that way.

              I like people who weren’t captured.

              McCain wasn’t the only one he was denigrating there.

              I’ll make it easy for you: if he was insulting Obama and said “I like people who aren’t black,” then would be specifically insulting the former president, but also black people in general.

              Can you follow now? Or does your intentional obtuseness preclude that?

                I understand, but the OP posted about Trump, “Calling Dead Soldiers ‘Suckers’ and ‘Losers”. That’s all I’ve asking about. Is if there’s an actual video or audio clip of Trump making this statement. That’s a pretty effed up statement.

                Yes I’m acknowledging his past regarding McCain and POWs, I don’t find that acceptable. Just so we’re clear.

      They never found a direction from Hitler setting up the death camps for the final solution. By your reckoning he wasn’t responsible.

      In courts of law, a first person testimony is considered evidence. Quite a few people have heard Trump say these things.

      The thing is, most people wouldn’t lie about this sort of thing. Or even be capable of making it up. Our minds just don’t work this way. If any of this was incongruent from what we already publicly see from him, it would be harder to believe. But it exactly follows every other “hot mic” situation he has had so far. It’s not like we’re taking it on faith that some otherwise completely upstanding citizen is rumored to have done one terrible thing behind closed doors. Even if it turns out this specific thing isn’t one of the things he said, he has said worse anyway, and not even behind closed doors. This would just pile on to an already disgusting pile of terrible things to say about people.

        Our minds don’t work this way? LMAO I’m done. Literally Youtube will destroy this argument. So yeah, I don’t just accept everything at face value. It’s just one person’s word vs the other in this story.
