All the left has is nit picking.Its tedious for sure
Hi Jeanne, I am with you.
Of course it is important to question what the president said but then of course we need a response from the presidents office in order to have a proper discussion.
I do not know the facts here but I have questions regarding categories,
So the easiest one is to point to the ‘soon’ objection. The word ‘soon’ is subjective. It could mean 2030 or even 2050 at a stretch. This is an example of nit picking.
With regards to pay increases are we talking pay increases above inflation (i.e. real increases) or a certain type of pay increase for certain categories?
Same with ships. Are we talking about an increase in certain types of ships, in battle ready ships, are we including legacy ships etc?
I think a of the discussion with facts may depend on how you categorise things. Of course if you have Trump Derangement Syndrome you are going to categorise things so as to write a piece where you can say the President is lying. I would assume any address the President gives at such a venue is going to be proof read by military chiefs before being given.
I certainly don’t trust the Left media to give me any facts. As far as I and millions of people are concerned they have proved themselves nothing short of political cheerleaders where the word fact (like many other words) are redefined to mean whatever is politically expedient. I mean this whole Russian collusion rubbish which went on for months makes them nothing less than a laughing stock, not only to people on the conservative/libertarian side but many former Leftists jumping ship (excuse the pun),.
Again, this does not mean they are necessarily wrong in this case. But millions have reason to yawn and not trust them any more than your local taxi driver. In fact, quite a bit less actually.
