The Army defended the Arlington National Cemetery official involved in an incident with the Trump campaign, saying the employee was “abruptly pushed aside” and “unfairly attacked” after she sought to “ensure adherence” to cemetery rules that bar recording for political purposes. “Participants in the August 26th ceremony and the subsequent Section 60 visit were made aware of federal laws, Army regulations and DoD policies, which clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds,” the Army said. “This incident was unfortunate, and it is also unfortunate that the ANC employee and her professionalism has been unfairly attacked.” The employee “decided not to press charges” due to concerns over retaliation, and so the Army “considers this matter closed.” Although Trump’s team was allowed to visit Section 60, the burial site for military personnel killed while fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, in his “personal capacity and bring personal aides, but not campaign staff,” the campaign falsely insisted it was “granted access to have a photographer.”

Commander bone spurs, who mocked John Mcain and others, now wants to use dead vets, who he considers “suckers and losers” for his advantage, even though it is prohibited to do so at this location…seems about right…

Do any of you guys remember 2 guys who posted here years back named “young farang” and “Rogueyam?” 2 ultra right wing dipshits who thought regan/bushes1+2 were great and praised the nuttery of Sarah Palin…YF’s daddy was some medium size big wig with the Republican Party, taking his kid to BKK to chase whores and Rogueyam was a loser originally from Slidell Louisiana who had, for what ever reason even he couldn’t or wouldn’t  explain, relocated to San Francisco. YF represented the republican hypocrisy on levels even he couldn’t understand, kid wasn’t that bright, always crying about his tax money being wasted by liberals…he worked in a Subway sandwich shop for minimum wage, cried illegals kept his wages low…I pointed out to him that I paid more in taxes than he actually earned and as he had plenty of money to go to Thailand without his daddy, he wasn’t so poor or just didn’t need the money/job. Rogueyam lived in a shitty neighborhood, same one I grew up in, didn’t own a car rode the bus everywhere. He was a frequent poster here despite having never been to Thailand, originally claimed he was going to go and wanted to know what bars were good for political discussions…Dan and I steered him to Lonestaar. Doubt he ever intended to go to to Thailand nor could afford it. His story as he posted on a right wing board here called “Freepers” as well as his calls to a local right wing talk show station told his story…poorly educated and low paid for some flunky sales company, blamed the liberals for all the problems in the world…

      Both of these ass hats supported a party that frequently shits on VETS, had more representative with “deferments,” same as Commander Bone Spurs had fewer vets in office and were basically against everything these 2 fools needed and would benefit from.  This is basically the right wing party in the USA, one group who wants to hold on the the money they worked so hard to inherit and maintain their base as they see it and those who don’t have shit and are told they don’t have shit because the “liberals” keep them down. These poor bastards never realize they don’t get shit when the republicans are in office either…

Trump Blames Harris for Arlington National Cemetery Story: ‘She Made It All Up’

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/trump-blames-harris-arlington-national-160445575.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9hdS5uZXdzLnlhaG9vLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHuwSygSxuhvFAieHOWd47DJcWa0UvpImqkhFE7cxJ0kjlnz5dHWY7WHW7q6iPazjvK0hl0HV9kt6_4AKZqY1eyhQT-qHO5397k90DuberGWjycsbeBttidbMPJiaHqnNKI7x5j9dlz5MroNeEmKOkLO36Oy9UOcfbILcJ1e1ixy

 

 Trump did the thumbs up and smiled as he stood at the grave of Nicole Gee, a sergeant.

For the life of me cannot understand how so many still fall for all his crap. It's actually quiet fascinating.

When he is proven to be factually incorrect on so many of his claims people just still believe every word that comes out of his mouth. And some of his statements are just bizarre like teachers performing gender reassignments in schools.

One of interesting things I read today was in an interview where he claimed he had the right to interfere with a Presidential Election. What an idiot.

I addressed this earlier, sighting 2 former board members as examples. It comes down to “this is all we have to preserve “OUR way of life.”  These types break into 2 main groups, the haves and the have nots. The haves break into 2 categories, those who worked their asses off to earn a bit of money and are convinced the “liberals” will take it all from them. This is the smaller group. The larger group worked their asses off to inherit their wealth and got where they are because of who their families are/were got their jobs through nepotism, and the “old boy network,” even if they really aren’t qualified to hold that job. They have been bred to believe. They are better than other and deserve all they have and are brainwashed to believe that society wants to take it all away.

     The have not group has been brainwashed by the haves to believe they are have nots because liberals have rigged the system against them. The liberals have allowed illegals into the country to take their jobs, rape their women and sell their kids drugs. The liberals encourage decadent behavior that ruins the minds of our children so they don’t want to work. The government wants to take your guns so they can forced “socialist health care” on them etc…the main mantra the haves use is “…how would you like to earn $10 just to keep $1, so the government can give your money to some minority welfare queen who will drive her Lexus to the store to use her food stamps to buy prime rib and caviar, while laughing at those who work…” (These people ignore the fact that most welfare is white and rural.) These people are brainwashed to believe that through hard work, they too can be as wealthy as the elite class who used inheritance, nepotism and favoritism and zero hard work. 

      Trump caters to these people, giving them what they want to hear “…it isn’t your fault, it is the fault of others and the government…”  The haves will vote for him as they will ANY republican because it is understood that the republicans are for them, for the money people, screw to poor. The white have nots will vote for him because they are basically idiots who have been brainwashed by the haves. You saw this with the 2 posters I mentioned earlier. One was a have one was a white have not. Truth is, neither party really gives a shit about the poor, they are both parties for the rich, there is only so far they will go to actually do something for the people.

And there lies the problem. And the fact most of what comes out of his mouth is complete rubbish you can understand why they support him. I watched an interview with a Trump supporter complaining about how most Democrats are educated.

But I remember seeing Amerikans interviewed about countries to attack and most had absolutely no idea about the rest of the world. I am guessing most would be Trump supporters.

I just noticed that Hunter Biden has pleaded guilty to some charges and the Judge told him  "are you sure?" "you could face 17 years in Jail".

Selfless martyrdom?

Or the balls and guts to take the punishment for one's failings?

I also read Trump has announced a plan for an Elon Musk-led ‘government efficiency commission’

This could play out as quiet an interesting arrangement considering Musk once backed the idea of taxing carbon emissions to force down global warming and Trump claims "the ocean’s going to rise one-eighth of an inch over the next 400 years"

And today we hear.....

Temperatures in the northern hemisphere from June to August became the highest on average in 84 years, extending what were already six consecutive record-setting months in the first half of 2024.

Data published in a monthly bulletin by the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) on Friday also showed that the global average temperature for the year from September 2023 to August 2024 was the highest on record for any 12-month period, at 0.76 degrees Celsius above the 1991–2020 average and 1.64C above the 1850–1900 pre-industrial average.
