WIST Quotations

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

We betray more often through weakness than through deliberate intention to betray.
 
[L’on fait plus souvent des trahisons par foiblesse que par un dessein formé de trahir.]

François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶120 (1665-1678) [tr. Tancock (1959)]

This story sucks the wind out of your sails. It is so demoralizing and dispiriting — and absolutely necessary. It is difficult to feel like there is any common ground with anyone who has heard a fraction of the stories told to Jeffrey Goldberg that he shares here. How anyone could vote for trump knowing any of this... Sad and nauseating.

"“For him to insult #MedalOfHonor recipients, just as he has previously attacked #GoldStar families, mocked #prisoners of war, and referred to those who lost their lives in service to our country as ‘suckers’ and ‘losers,’ should remind all #Americans that we owe it to our service members, our country, and our future to make sure #DonaldTrump is never our nation’s commander in chief again,” Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson Sarafina Chitika said."

Text from article: Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign denounced Trump’s latest comment, saying in a statement Friday that he “knows nothing about service to anyone or anything but himself.” “For him to insult Medal of Honor recipients, just as he has previously attacked Gold Star families, mocked prisoners of war, and referred to those who lost their lives in service to our country as ‘suckers’ and ‘losers,’ should remind all Americans that we owe it to our service members, our country, and our future to make sure Donald Trump is never our nation’s commander in chief again,” Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson Sarafina Chitika said.

“It isn’t just that #DonaldTrump doesn’t respect Veterans and their sacrifice,” the group [ #VoteVets ] said in a statement. “It’s that Donald #Trump hates #Veterans and their sacrifice, because he looks so small in comparison to them.”

Trump has previously made comments denigrating #military members...

Trump privately disparaged dead service members as “suckers” and “losers”"

Text from article: “It’s actually much better because everyone gets the Congressional Medal of Honor,” Trump said. “They’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead. [Adelson] gets it, and she’s a healthy, beautiful woman. They’re rated equal, but she got the Presidential Medal of Freedom and she got it through committees and everything else.”
