I can't watch or listen to him but I've seen the quotes on bluesky and the analysis from those I trust, like Aaron Rupar. Apparently, he was slurring and smiling and said "that's just the way it is. There will likely be more" about American Soldiers dying.
Democrats need to be speaking out everywhere to anyone online, on cable news, on their own social media about this NOW. It's disgusting.

Something literally no one in his family has ever done. Ever. His grandfather got booted out of Germany for refusing to serve.

(52,919 posts)finally all his perverse dreams have come true - unlimited power. Of course, it is pretty hard to top all the crap he's done, so I expect him to act even more outrageous as if tempting fate to stop him.

(24,741 posts)Just unbelievably callous and unfeeling, as well as patronizing. And that's even considering who this is and what he has done before. Even by his standards, I find it hard to believe that anyone could cheer this on.

We all look forward to his imminent earthly departure, but if he is cognizant of the circumstances at the time, he will do everything in his power to take us all with him.
I will still hate Republicans when I'm dead.

(1,132 posts)Trump is a psychopath. See checklist below.
Trump has an agenda. He does not care how many people die to serve that agenda.
Take agenda of tariffs; agenda of destroying ACA; regime change in Iran, etc.
How many American businesses has he destroyed with his tariffs.
How many Americans have lost their health insurance due to Senate failing to pay for subsidies; Trump is threatening to veto.
How many American soldiers will die in Iran? How many civilians?
In his SOTU, he falsely claimed that their is a revival in this country.
Actually, the reverse is true.

(543 posts)I prefer couldnt care less because it makes more sense if you hadnt heard the idiom before. Im not a fan ant all, but I dont make the rules in this language game. We can fight it, but I think the ships sailed on this idiom. Idioms are established by usage not strictly by their component words. I believe in American English both ways are somewhat equally common and have been for decades. Neither means its not possible to care less in common usage any more than I love spaghetti denotes a willingness to marry it.

EDIT
Symptoms of the disease first appear from 10 to 30 years after infection. Incipient GPI is usually manifested by neurasthenic difficulties, such as fatigue, headaches, insomnia, dizziness, etc. As the disease progresses, mental deterioration and personality changes occur. Typical symptoms include loss of social inhibitions, asocial behavior, gradual impairment of judgment, concentration and short-term memory difficulties, euphoria, mania, depression, or apathy. Subtle shivering, minor defects in speech and Argyll Robertson pupil may become noticeable.
Delusions, common as the illness progresses, tend to be poorly systematized and absurd. They can be grandiose, melancholic, or paranoid. These delusions include ideas of great wealth, immortality, thousands of lovers, unfathomable power, apocalypsis, nihilism, self-guilt, self-blame, or bizarre hypochondriacal complaints. Later, the patient experiences dysarthria, intention tremors, hyperreflexia, myoclonic jerks, confusion, seizures and severe muscular deterioration. Eventually, the paretic dies bedridden, cachectic and completely disoriented, frequently in a state of status epilepticus.

The SOB has probably been partying all weekend - he may have been drinking (yes, I know he says he doesn't, but he's been known to lie about things), doing drugs and who knows WHAT ELSE is happening behind those walls.
