Tool, the real question is what part of what johforbes said is RELEVANT?
Like "Apparently Vindman was shaken up by some roadside bomb in Iraq and received a Purple Heart. He also served in Germany and South Korea. Okay, just showing up in a combat zone is dangerous, so I'd grant him that.
But an O-5 is no big deal, as any veteran can tell you. And he was clearly passed over for promotion and probably only retained at 22 yrs because of language ability. So, in essence, he was doing translation confirmation for accuracy."-johnforbes
All johnforbes has besides deserved respect for Vindman's earlier service in Iraq is that Vindman's still doing a good job in accurate translation. So how does that in any way reflect poorly on Vindman? It doesn't. johnny just tries to make it sound like it does because he's got no evidence to impugn Vindman's service, as always.
Or "Fiona was born in the UK, Yovanovitch apparently from Canada, and Vindman in Ukraine.
They deliver these pompous lectures on what American foreign policy should be, and what American patriotism is, but none of them were even born in America."-johnforbes
There is nothing whatsoever relevant about not being born in America as long as they ARE Americans now, which they are.
johnny has no evidence that any of them did anything wrong or he would have listed that instead of merely making moronic personal attacks with innuendo and nothing else.
johnny is just playing on your ingrained xenophobia. It works on the dimwitted quite easily. That's why Trump plays on your simple minds so often. It's an easy way to manipulate dimwits. There's nothing wrong with being an immigrant, of course. There's nothing relevant about being an immigrant. We are a country of immigrants. But johnforbes, like Trump, tries to make it sound like a bad thing. It isn't.
johnforbes is merely a partisan scumbag hypocrite, just like you.
Or "Vindman does NOT make foreign policy, nor does some "female" like Fiona Hill, nor does the airhead Yovanovitch who was not even on the July phone call in question and was only fired because the Ukraine president wanted her to leave and because she was NOT implementing Trump's policy as ambassadors are supposed to do."-johnfibs
Of course, it would be a crime to implement an illegal foreign policy. It would be wrong for anyone to do so. Trump simply fires anyone he can't get to break the law for him. And if they do break the law for him, then he eventually fires them anyway.
Instead, Vindman and Hill chose to do the right thing for America, which is an alien concept for Republicans. Republicans do the expedient thing to remain in power and personally profit from their policies at the cost of America's interests. But johnforbes tries to make Vindman and Hill doing the right thing for America appear to be a bad thing, which is just repugnant to any good American.
johnforbes has nothing. He plays on the simple minded because he can't find anything bad to say about those he dislikes, so he picks on their bow tie or their uniform or their appearance or some other irrelevant thing to avoid the facts while pointing his finger elsewhere. It's what partisan hypocrites do.
