    I thought the picture of Trump putting a medal on the dog was funny and one of the less noxious things he's done. But, no, they fucked that one up too.https://twitter.com/freedlander/status/1189661214017753088 …

    James McCloughan ran through VietCong gunfire for 2 days, saving 10 men, taking shrapnel from a rocket-propelled grenade and small-arms fire into his head and arm, refusing a superior's order to evacuate. Today he was replaced by a picture of a dog https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/30/us/politics/trump-dog.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur …

        In an interview on Wednesday, Mr. McCloughan, 73, who had not seen the image before a reporter sent it to him, said that he interpreted it as Mr. Trump recognizing the dog’s heroism. He was not offended and laughed when he compared the two images. https://nyti.ms/2WrXchW

        Calculated move....look how many likes any mention of “the dog” has gotten. The US loves their dogs and it’s a move to make tRUmp seem “more like the rest of us”.... ya know, like Putin on horseback! BS! Call it out!

        yah except it's shameless image whitewashing. The President has been very clear about what he actually thinks of dogs. https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3A%40realdonaldtrump%20%22like%20a%20dog&s=09 …

        I saw a news story where they asked the guy about it and he wasn’t unhappy about it, so there doesn’t seem reason for anyone else to be. The rest of what Trump does, on the other hand....

        To be fair, what with the profound ignorance, raging adderall habit, and limited grasp of reality that President Rapey has, I’m sort of shocked that it wasn’t a picture of him putting a medal on Putin while a Kurdish child burns to death on a cross in the background...

        My favorite of the original Trump speech was his insistence on calling a "canine" a "dog". He said, "We call it a dog". Mil-speak and cop-speak are cancers on English. 2 cheers for the Incumbent.

        Well, the dog can’t vote, so why put forth any effort?
