Donald Trump claims that in America "We don't fight to win."

Courtesy of The Week: 

President Donald Trump slammed the American military Monday, complaining the U.S. doesn't "fight to win." 

"Win. We have to win. We have to start winning wars again," Trump said. "I have to say, when I was young, in high school and college, everybody used to say that we never lost a war. 'We never lost a war.' You remember." 

"And now we never win a war," Trump added. "We never win. And we don't fight to win."

According to icasualties.org since 2001 we have lost a total of 3,528 soldiers in Afghanistan who were "not trying to win." And another 4,837 soldiers in Iraq also apparently just phoning it in.

And let's not forget that this is coming from a man whose VERY FIRST military operation caused the death of an American serviceman, the loss of a 90 million dollar aircraft, and killed an 8 year old girl.

Is THIS what he calls "winning?"

By the way I think there is no longer any doubt that Donald Trump is going to lead this country into a war, just so he can make his point, and also make his mark on the history books.

Rand Paul compares the GOP to Charlie Sheen. "Winning!"

Courtesy of Mediaite:

“Does anybody remember Charlie Sheen, when he was kind of going crazy last year. And he was going around, jumping around saying ‘Winning, winning, we’re winning,’” Paul told the crowd, referring to Sheen’s very public breakdown back in early 2011. “Well I kind of feel like that, I think we are winning.” Just in case any was getting the wrong idea, he added, “And I’m not on any drugs.”

Seriously?

Okay let's all remember back to when Sheen was fired from the highest rated sitcom on network television after appearing on the Alex Jones show and raged incoherently about the producers, culminating with this line about show creator Chuck Lorre:

“Clearly, I have defeated earthworm [show creator Chuck Lorre] with my words – imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists.”

Sheen then went on a very public binge of self destruction, which included surrounding himself with a bevy of porn stars (Who he called "Goddesses."), calling himself a "Warlock," and claiming that "Tiger Blood" ran through his veins.


After that he made a truly horrendous, self indulgent movie that nobody bothered to see, before returning to television to make a craptastic sitcom now showing on the FX channel, that recently lost one of its only well known co-stars, Selma Blair, after she was fired for complaining that Sheen has a terrible work ethic.

So is the comparison of the current Republican party to Charlie Sheen fair?

No. At least not to Charlie Sheen it isn't.

After all he is just a somewhat talented runaway train of self destruction. On the other hand the Republican party is....well they're the Republican party, and NOTHING is as bad as they are these days!
