Deferred for college is not the same as being deferred by a private doctor for bone spurs. It sounds like Biden’s physical exam was done by a military doctor do u know differently?
Got any proof on the medical exam doctor? Or any proof that he really does have asthma? Any reports or health records or seeing him with an inhaler or asthma medication? Anything?
Look, they both used their money to wiggle out of being drafted. Not a good look for either one. And both guys' supporters have no room to talk on the issue.
Have fun in Virginia Beach. I am very familiar with it. While stationed at the Naval Amphibious Base there in 1977 we'd hop in my VW bus and head to the beach almost every weekend. Sometimes in the evening as it was only about 20 miles off base.

Thanks for sending me this "fact check". You were right. I was wrong. I Said President Biden got 4 deferments while your fact check says he got 5.
This what I love about fact checks. They disprove a small part on a technicality and then claim the whole thing as mostly false.
He got 5 deferments and then had a medical exam and somehow got diagnosed with asthma even though he had been on the football team. This in 1968, the year with the most US serviceman deaths n the whole war. https://www.militaryfactory.com/vietnam/casualties.php How convenient.
I agree with @sherpa somewhat. It was easy to get out of being drafted if you had money to go to college. And then if the war is still going on when you graduate, go to grad school. I also agree with him it was a dumb/criminal war. But I can't just wave it off as he does. Where the rubber meets the road, for every college student that was deferred, some schmuck that couldn't afford to go to college was drafted and went and maybe didn't come back.
This is my biggest gripe with President Biden. He deferred himself with
45 deferments yet was more than happy to send other people and other people's kids to the quagmire that was Iraq. -

Obama has been attacked in this very thread for using the word democracy. I suspect most of us are celebrating amongst are chosen tribe. I am. I'd prefer to not physically be around maga's ever.
This is where the country is.
Not me. I can't stand President Trump but I'll hang with anybody as long as they aren't #######s. Even better if politics doesn't come up.

I don't have a fearless leader but I assume you are speaking of President Trump. Please don't take this as any kind of defense of Uncle Donald cuz it's not. But it seems hypocritical for fan of President Biden who also got 4 deferments to bring this up. His for "asthma" even though he was on the football team.

Useless, senseless war run by moron politicians.

Years ago, I had a friend whose brother-in-law was selling knock off jerseys & he gave me a Trent Edwards counterfeit jersey. It looked pretty real. I wore it to one game & then the Bills cut Edwards. Because the name on the back of the uniform was a separate cloth sewn into the jersey, I was able to cut out the name Edwards. Then the Bills changed their uniforms & I never wore it again. I still have the jersey in a closet with other stuff I can't wear. In 2018 I bought a real Josh Allen jersey at a local mall after the Vikings game and it's the only Bills jersey I need, and I don't have to worry about Josh getting cut.
I have a whole closet of Buffalo Bills past players jerseys. I wear 'em all. They are Buffalo Bills jersey after all. And I paid good money for a lot of them so I get my money's worth. I root for the laundry, not the players.
That said,I do have a Josh Allen jersey.

What actually matters is the effective rate they pay on their income and wealth. Right now, billionaires can pay 3% while a teacher pays 13%.
So no I don’t want them paying 100% of the tax burden. I want them paying at least the same effective rate as the people who don’t own private jets. That’s called fairness, not fantasy.
Actually, it's called a flat tax.

We shouldn’t be slashing vital programs just to hand out more tax cuts to the wealthy. I’d much rather see the top 1% pay their fair share than gut support for the most vulnerable in our society.
How much is their "fair share"?
President Biden used to say his but never said what their " fair share" is.
What do YOU think their "fair share" is?

Newfangled? Buffalo has had Juneteenth festivals since the 80s. Buffalo's was last weekend, the same time as the Allentown Art Festival. Had fights in MLK park and everything. The Masten district council member proposed a law this week requiring youths 17 and under to be accompanied by a parent to guardian at festivals.
We had Juneteenth celebrations in Texas in the 80s too and it has been celebrated since 1938. New Jersey can't celebrate for a few more days since they didn't free all their slaves until June 23, 1866

And we like our version just fine. You people are perpetually scared, weak, and overall useless. Like all back and forths with you.
As far as the dance moves goes, come on man. The kids do this kind of stuff on Tic Tac and in flash mobs all the time. The ones in the upper right are doing the Electric Slide. Come on man. Have you not been in a dance club in America in the past 35 years?

President Trump has capitalized S in Newsome's name so as to make sure his insult is taken properly as New Scum as opposed to News *****. I was confused about that. Thanks for the clarification sir.

If this is as wide spread and as blatant as I read on here regularly it should be a piece of cake that even Barney Fife could find.
Wouldn't surprise me at all to find out there are agitators/funders on both sides and maybe hard to tell apart.
Catch and prosecute all protesters/agitators/funders that are breaking the law regardless of political persuasion.

Incompetence is fixing the roads after the tanks drive over them? Do you not want them fixe
Personally I would rather see them not fugged up in the 1st place. President Trump was elected to get spending under control and start paying down the debt. This $60+ billion would be a nice 1st payment.
I can remember a few months ago when Elon Musk was bragging as were many of his followers here when he found a 5 million dollar contract he could get us out of. Now its just, oh well, its only 60 mil. No biggee. What happened?

The United States of America to Honor the 250th Anniversary of the U.S. Army
with a Grand Military Parade and Celebration in Washington, D.C.
On June 14, 2025–the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday–the nation will honor its legacy with a grand military parade in Washington, D.C. President Donald J. Trump will join veterans, active-duty troops, wounded warriors, Gold Star Families, and Patriotic Americans from across the country to celebrate our heroes who have protected our country through strength and selflessness. Tickets for the Parade and Celebration are available through America250’s event registration portal.
This historic event will commemorate the legacy and enduring strength of the U.S. Army, while looking boldly toward the next 250 years of American patriotism and technological advancement. The event is designed not only to showcase the Army’s modern capabilities but also to inspire a new generation to embrace the spirit of service, resilience, and leadership that defines the United States. The parade will trace the Army’s evolution from the Revolutionary War through to the U.S. Army of Tomorrow. Attendees will experience 250 years of Army heritage through historical U.S. Army personnel reenactors, period-accurate equipment, vehicles, impressive flyovers, and military bands participating in this landmark event.

QuotePlans for the parade, as first detailed by The Associated Press on Thursday, call for about 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles and 50 helicopters to follow a route from Arlington, Virginia, to the National Mall. Until recently, the Army’s birthday festival plans did not include a massive parade, which officials say will cost tens of millions of dollars.
But Trump has long wanted a military parade, and discussions with the Pentagon about having one in conjunction with the birthday festival began less than two months ago.

Yay and congratulations to the US Army for bravely defending our country for 250 years.
Boo to the YUUUUGGGGEE military parade wasting tens of millions of dollars. The Army doesn't need nor did they even want it. I thought we were trying to pay down the debt to save our country after decades of mis management of Democrat Presidents.
The price of the parade obviously wouldn't pay off the debt but at least it could make a down payment.
This is just another boondoggle massive waste of money which we see so much of from this administration.
Sadly I will have to miss it cuz I have other engagements.

So. He had enough to go to college AND grad school which was enough. More than many men with their name on the Viet Nam memorial had. Rationalize it however it makes you feel good.
The allure to Virginia Beach was the beach and the good sized waves. Did go to Colonial Williamsburg a couple of times too. Still have some pictures from there.
