How does somebody even listen into a call involving the president of the united states? Was she with the family when the call came through.

Trump is a terrible president, but just listening into that call is a massively lovely thing to do, let alone making the contents of that call public.

She was in a car with the widow and heard the call on speaker phone. The soldier�s mother also confirmed what happened.

She didn�t listen in on a wiretap.

Too true. And what barrel could be emptier than 5-time draft dodger Donald J. Trump?

Wow, Kelly is a real piece of poo poo. If she was in the car and they were listening over the speakers, is the senator supposed to just dive out of the moving car? Pull over park and just walk away? Instead of continuing to politicize this, Kelly should have just apologized for everyone involved.

Uh... how about paying them $25,000????

Honky Dong Country posted:

Just pay out whatever benefits their deceased loved one is entitled to and leave them in peace.

It's been like a decade since I was enlisted so I can't remember the exact benefits that a serviceman that was killed in action's family is entitled to but basically that's exactly what I was saying hth. Give them whatever the gently caress they're owed and leave them the hell alone.

My entire argument is that judging from what Kelly himself has said I don't think he told the President "Hey don't do this you'll just gently caress it up" and was instead giving honest advice as a man who lost a son in combat that a President can't possibly help the bereaved family's situation by calling and offering bullshit detached condolences.

Lol at the fact that Kelly said that Obama didn�t do something and expected Trump to not do it as well

He could have said Obama�s also never jacked him off after his son died and gotten a (tiny) hand beezy out of it

The president could have told that war widow to ride his fat hog and then laughed at her. The REAL offense here is that the black woman with the cowboy hat overheard this sacred conversation. --a reasonable take a goon has.

this article goes into the calls/money stuff. some got nice calls too!

quote:

�He was very cordial and very nice,� Lee said, of the call, which he said lasted about five or six minutes.

Lee said the president spoke to them about �how impressive my brother was, how he had read the reports, reading everything about Weston, and he could tell how amazing he was. And talking to us, he could tell how strong we were and how strong he must have been. We were all pretty devastated.

quote:

The family of Sgt. Cameron H. Thomas, a 23-year-old Army Ranger killed April 27 in a raid on the Islamic State in Afghanistan, met with Vice President Pence at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware as the soldier�s casket arrived from overseas. They had a 20-minute call with Trump about two weeks later, said Thomas�s father, Andre.

�He gave his condolences and made some comments how different his paperwork was when it went across his desk,� the father said in a phone interview. �Said most of the paperwork he sees in these types of death says, �He�s respected by his peers.� He said Cameron�s stuck out because it said he was respected and loved by his peers.�

Thomas said he spoke at length about his son�s love for the Army and his determination to become a Ranger, a distinction he earned at age 19. About midway through the phone call, Thomas said he told Trump that he had voted for him, and �that got him on another tangent� that extended the conversation for about 10 minutes.�

The president then spoke about his work in office and �the strides that he�s made in the short time he�d been president,� Thomas said.

Thomas said the family was touched by the phone call. The father of a Mormon family with 12 children, seven of them adopted, Thomas said he was concerned about the attention that his son�s death could bring. But talking to the president helped him put things in perspective and realize that his son �belonged to the country.�

it does seem something that trump would be good at with his speaking style

but you know, the guy whos name trump forgot was black and those other two werent so
