Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
So are you saying that the only time that you consider something actual proof is if it is recorded? I mean, there is reports directly from John Kelly (former White House Chief of Staff), but you think he is lying?
Maybe you can dig what you need out of here: https://lemmy.world/post/8041636
Word of mouth means nothing today. Just a bunch of high school kids participating in rumors.
Well seeing as you never SAID you were asking about Trump, "Calling Dead Soldiers ‘Suckers’ and ‘Losers" that can't be true.
OP said "Trump hates the troops" and you replied with "show me what he said". They did that. Now the goal posts are being moved.
Did you search for it?
Google searched, "trump hates troops" and "trump insults dead troops".. I was hoping to witness it directly from the horse's mouth.
