Tammy Duckworth Is Totally Awesome!

So get a load of this load of shit from our Moron In Chief, Li’l Donnie Trump:  

 

“Even on positive news like that, really positive news like that, they were like death and un-American. Somebody said ‘treasonous.’ I mean, yeah, I guess, why not? Shall we call that treason? Why not? I mean, they certainly didn’t seem to love our country very much.”

 

As you know, Trump can’t let go of any slight and took issue with Democrats not applauding him during his State of the Union address last week, you know, the State of the Union with the highest TV ratings EVER. (No, it wasn’t).  

 

White House spokesman Hogan Gidley told NBC News that Trump was speaking “tongue in cheek” and was simply saying that all Americans, regardless of party, should celebrate positive news.

 

So Trump was just kidding? Well, fuck him and the weird hair thing that lives on his shit filled head.

 

Here’s what Democrat Senator Tammy Duckworth from Illinois had to say about that.

 

“We don’t live in a dictatorship or monarchy. I swore an oath — in the military and in the Senate — to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, not to mindlessly cater to the whims of Cadet Bone Spurs and clap when he demands I clap!”

 

“Cadet Bone Spurs”? God, I think I love this woman. 

Duckworth’s nickname for Trump references his claim that he was granted medical deferment during the Vietnam War after bone spurs in his feet were diagnosed.

 

Duckworth, who lost her legs in 2004 while serving in Iraq as an Army helicopter pilot, has zero chill when it comes to Trump’s inane conduct and more power to her.

 

In addition, Sen. Duckworth had this to say: “Thankfully, there are better quotes from better Republican Presidents. Here’s one from Theodore Roosevelt—a Republican who earned the applause he received—that Trump might want to consider.

 

Theodore Roosevelt wrote this during World War I: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the president or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

 

OK, we need a time go back in time to bring Theodore Roosevelt to the present where he can kick Trump’s ass and the collective ass of the capitulating Republicans who enable him. 

 

In a Senate floor speech last month, Duckworth called Trump a “five-deferment draft dodger” who had no business accusing Democrats — like herself — of not caring for the military. “Does he even know that there are service members who are in harm’s way right now, watching him, looking for their commander in chief to show leadership, rather than to try to deflect blame?”

 

The speech was prompted by a tweet in which Trump accused Democrats of “holding our Military hostage over their desire to have unchecked illegal immigration.”

 

The junior senator also accused Trump of trying to bait North Korea into a war by escalating his rhetoric against Kim Jong Un.

 

“I have a message for ‘Cadet Bone Spurs: If you cared about our military, you’d stop baiting Kim Jong Un into a war that could put 85,000 American troops, and millions of innocent civilians, in danger.”

 

God, I think I love this woman. 

 

Tammy Duckworth from Illinois, you are totally fucking awesome!
