What about the war with Mexico?

What about it? Pancho Villa invaded the US.

Let's not put Pancho Villa on a pedestal.

Was he a time traveler?

If he was I bet he would have travelled back in time and not attacked at the Battle of Celaya.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Yes.

Looks like FB took it down.

The later post implying the "squad" members are not American is still up.

Is she threatening three Congresswomen? :unsure:

She's from Georgia.  We've got plenty of first-hand experience in how flaky people from Georgia are.  :P

QuoteTrump: Americans Who Died in War Are 'Losers' and 'Suckers'
The president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic.

When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that "the helicopter couldn't fly" and that the Secret Service wouldn't drive him there. Neither claim was true.

Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, "Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers." In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as "suckers" for getting killed.

Belleau Wood is a consequential battle in American history, and the ground on which it was fought is venerated by the Marine Corps. America and its allies stopped the German advance toward Paris there in the spring of 1918. But Trump, on that same trip, asked aides, "Who were the good guys in this war?" He also said that he didn't understand why the United States would intervene on the side of the Allies.

Is there even one one-the-record source that tries to authoritatively debunk the Atlantic article?  I've yet to see it.  Trump lacks the credibility to be authoritative on anything he has said.

All I've heard about is Bolton but Bolton did not "debunk" the story.  He said he didn't personally hear the statements himself but that it's possible they were made.

Well then I guess I can also debunk the story. I didn't personally hear it either so make it 11.
