A Fox reporter verified much of the Atlantic story about Trump's comments on the military.

Trump wants her fired.

Hey, Kid? Here's an example of Trump's "stones" hard at work.

Yeah...she's not long for that job.  Another that will shift to MSNBC

No evasions.   Straight up:  do you accept that the Atlantic report,  now corroborated by other news organizations, and multiple sources,  is factual,  yes or no?

More like a “K” 

The wealthy make out while the least of these get boned.

Long gone is the notion that we’ll have a V-Shaped Recovery—a deep economic decline followed quickly by sharp rebound. Instead, what we’re looking at is a recovery that will be vigorous for some sectors while others remain in freefall.

[bThe layoffs have come hardest and fastest for those least able to survive prolonged joblessness, creating a cascade of setbacks from which it will be very hard to recover.[/b]

Duh!
With the service industry  still partially locked down with restaurants and bars operating  at 50 per cent, air travel severely affected, tourism next to nothing all representing tons of jobs that can’t be done from home this is hardly a shock. 

Too bad the politicians didn’t consider that before locking down so severely.

Nevertheless the econ­omy has added 10.5 mil­lion pri­vate jobs in four months, about half as many as were lost  by the gov­ernment -or­dered lock-downs. The re­cov­ery af­ter the 2008-2009 re­ces­sion took three years to make that much progress, and the job­less rate was still 8.1% in Au­gust 2012.
As the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday:

Labor force participation for August rose 3 per­cent­age points to 61.7%, up 1.5 points from its April low. This is still 1.7 per­cent­age points be­low its February peak, but the in­crease means that hun­dreds of thou­sands of Amer­i­cans are con­tin­u­ing to re­turn to the work­force. By con­trast, la­bor force par­tic­i­pa­tion de­clined in the five years af­ter the 2009 re­ces­sion.
Of course Obama and Biden were leading the country then. As for Biden on the 2020 Campaign Trail he says he would not hesitate to lock down again if “ Science” called for it.
Yep, that’s what he says.

You motherfuckers.

There are six million cases of this virus out there and nearly two hundred thousand dead and you’re crowing about the wealthy getting fatter.

Yes, well done, Northeastern.

Do you know the definition of  corroborated ?

[oilcan]

I'll simplify it for you:

Trump bad man say bad thing,  say soldiers no good and dumdums.   Many other mans and womans hear bad Trump say same bad things.   Smart grownups say all these mans and womans say true and use big grownup talk like confirm,  support,  corroborate.  Those big grownup words mean that what they hear true.  Trump really think soldiers dumdums.

Yes.   It's how brown cardboard is made stronger.   

So,  did Trump disrespect and denigrate the military,  Y/N?  Are the reports sufficiently corr-,  um,  supported in their statements by other sources?

Hey, a direct answer to one of two questions. Not bad! No way to be certain to which question the answer belongs, but what do you expect?

Ward is incorrugatable.

And deeply in denial.

Some material is too thick to be strengthened. Still works as foundation fill if you break it up.

Trump denigrates and disrespects Red by getting him to dance around on a string like a little monkey. Why is it a stretch to think trump regularly disrespects and denigrates the military?

Monkey maintains full asshole in the face of copious tape and receipts.
