Trump starts tussle at Arlington

Every day you think this lowlife and his entourage can't go any lower, and yet they always find a way. How classless can you be to set up a photo op in a military cemetery to begin with?

Scump could not locate Kabul on a map of Kabul.

Entitled baby-man.

This spells trouble for Harris.

Because of course he did.

As if he gives a shit about these dead service people. He’s already made clear what he thinks of America's war dead.

He purely there for his own personal gain.

It's like the guy forgets he's not the president anymore -- so he sets up conversations with world leaders and lays wreaths at military cemeteries.

Like Hakeem Jefferies said, we broke up with you for a reason.

Omg this man is such a disgrace. Everyone in politics knows Arlington cemetery is off limits for politicizing and what not. He is such a fucking piece of shit. I hope he dies the day after the election. I’m sorry I said that aloud Jesus.

Did Joe or Kamala even show up?

He could piss on the grave of the unknown soldier and soldiers would fall to their knees to praise him. This new generation of radicalized maga incels don’t give a fuck how much he disrespected dead boomers, they will do anything for white supremacy and patriarchy.

Between Trump using dead soldiers' graves as props and Kamala Harris laughing too much, both candidates have had serious issues!

Actually, laughing too much is worse since it shows she's not belligerent enough! How is she going to protect us from the Chinese?

Yes r9. What’s particularly funny is the vets who are on Ukraine’s side on Twitter. All they do is criticize Biden’s level of support for Ukraine, when it has been Biden’s support that saved Ukraine on numerous occasions.

And they back Trump, which is even more hilarious, because Trump will do everything in his power to help Russia conquer Ukraine.

Whichever disgusting stupid magat or pedant replied to me you’re already blocked cunt

R8 is one of the basic trolls.

Bessergeboren? Briyanshu?

When it comes to facts regarding a Trump incident, I always give the alternative party's story to Trump's story the benefit of the doubt.

Donald Trump once told Mark Milley no one wanted to see a disabled vet who had been severely wounded in Afghanistan

When Gen. Mark Milley took on the role of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 2019, he had chosen veteran Army captain Luis Avila, who had been severely wounded in Afghanistan, to sing "God Bless America" at the Armed Forces Welcome Ceremony.

Avila served five combat tours and lost a leg in an IED attack in Afghanistan. His injuries led to him suffering multiple strokes, heart attacks, and brain damage, The Atlantic reported.

It was a wet day with soft ground at the Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Arlington, Virginia, and Avila's wheelchair almost overturned before others including former Vice President Mike Pence and Milley's wife rushed to help him.

When Avila finished his performance, Milley claimed that Trump said to him: "Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded," before telling him not to let Avila appear in public again.

- President Donald Trump received military draft deferments five times — once for bad feet and four times for college.

Lieutenant Bone Spurs has no respect for our military.

The fact that it showed up to the cemetery to be photographed placing a wreath, (after being told not to) demonstrates the contempt for the rule of law it has.

This flabby gesture is another middle finger from it to the rest of us.

Curious why it asked for its 👠 while it was being assassinated.

In other news, water is wet.

Like the cunts they are.

"So wait, is the Trump campaign not only accusing *Arlington National Cemetery* of lying about a physical altercation between Trump staffers and cemetery employees, but also accusing one of the cemetery's staff of suffering from a "mental health episode"?

Wow."

A parolee, an adjudicated rapist and an insurrectionist walks in the bar.

"I'm Donald J Trump, and I wanna be duh president " it says, 🤡

He’s such a fucking PRICK.

A rancid, oozing, wart infested prick.

What did we do. We stayed home and didn't vote.

Most people don't vote.

There was record low turnout in 2016 and the low turnout allows these grifters to do the switcheroo.

There was no 'switcheroo' R28. As you said, people didn't vote. We only have ourselves to blame.

Yes. There was. Why do you think it called around asking for a specific number of votes in 2020.

He didn't start a tussle. He was invited there by the families. Kamala Harris bragged about being the 'last person' in the room when it came to making the decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. Now she wants to pretend otherwise?

It was asked to leave and refused. FUCK YOU MAGAT

R28 I don’t think that is true. I don’t think it was record low turnout in 2016. It was less than 2012 but I believe turnout was pretty high.

When you're there, in an official capacity, and you don't have to assault folks who work there.

"HoW coMe bIDeN aND HaRRiS dOn’T eVeR gO to ARLiNgTOn?!"

R32 I believe that’s true. Families invited him. But you cannot be taking photo ops to be used on the campaign and generally using campaign style rhetoric at Arlington cemetery. It’s disrespectful as fuck. I am a veteran. Technically I was in combat but I was basically in an auxiliary support role. My grandfather fought in the Korean War. Trump is trash.

I thought you people belong to the fuck your feelings crowd.

Also

Families? Invitations? Respect for the dead? Really bitch?

R26 Didn’t you know. All Magas don’t care about feelings unless it’s some shit they CARE about. Then it’s un-American. Stuff like this though would never happen with old school republicans and then trashy ass Trump and his Maga gang arrived on the scene.

The troll is desperate. It needs to drink more. Or less.

Respect for the dead?

I don't get along with my family either. Can not stand them. I still won't do them dirty like this 👇

Did he ever get that gravestone?

Obviously Biden and Harris have been to Arlington. Not everyone publicizes their every shit, excuse my French. Some of us actually do things without an expectation of attention.

Maybe Trump's new buddy RFK Jr can dump a dead bear in Arlington, or on Ivana's grave!

Only Orange Jesus tells the truth! Everyone else lies! Only Orange Jesus! My president, Orange Jesus! Don't you fuckin dare say I'm in a cult! -- triggered MAGAt

"The Army went on the record saying Trump campaign staff disobeyed the rules for Arlington and assaulted a civilian Army employee to take campaign pics in Section 60 where our GWOT fallen are buried! - Trump campaign staff had altercation with official at Arlington Cemetery"

R44 right. And when stuff is filmed it’s by official news organizations, ABC, Fox for ceremonial purposes. You don’t bring the film/camera crew from the campaign with you there. Utter trash.

His Temu Oddjob says they have footage. But won't release the footage...

He didn't want to attend without it being a photo op.

The staff at the Arlington cemetery is at fault for not running a bayonet up the interlopers asses.

Also, the families who invited it there deserve to have their spots disinterred.

"Corey Lewendowski is back with the campaign and there at Arlington, he already has an assault charge against him. Just saying"

This is a bad person. Ppl still want to ask if he is still hot or cute or if he's bankrupt. Not relevant. Don't get into the clown show. He's a showman. And he's really good at it. Just vote and call ppl in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona, Wisconsin and let's kick this weirdo to the curb already. He lives off fear and division but how does that help anyone?

In January 2017, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released an assessment that found Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Russian government disparaged Clinton through a disinformation and cyberattack campaign to better "Trump's election chances."

The whereabouts of the binder are currently unknown as it went missing during the last days of Trump's presidency, Reuters' source said.

CNN was the first to report the missing binder and The New York Times has also reported on it.

“Russia, if you’re listening,” Trump said, “I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.”

Hours later, the Main Intelligence Directorate in Moscow appeared to heed the call — targeting Clinton’s personal office and hitting more than 70 other Clinton campaign accounts. That’s according to a grand jury indictment Friday charging 12 Russian military intelligence officers with hacking into the Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party as part of a sweeping conspiracy by the Kremlin to meddle in the 2016 U.S. election.

My MAGA sister screeched on Facebook that the President and Vice President "... should have been there! What the hell is wrong with them?". Yeah, like all these politicians are going to cram in there for a cheap photo op?

The Republicans hated that Biden was getting us out of Buttfukhistan in two weeks, so Mike Pompeo had an operative set-off a suitcase bomb on the last day. That's all. It's a dangerous job.

I hope this bites him in the ass.

These people are so dumb from constantly watching television that they think every presidential event gets a place on the news reel. Does Debbie Deplorable get airtime while she’s applying Aqua Net to her hair?

Bonespurs

“Americans who live west of I-95, losers and suckers.”

It's funny how MAGA love Nazis. 90% of them don't even fit the disgusting construct known as the Aryan Ideal. If they found themselves in WWII Germany they would be executed immediately by their "idols."

If only they had been bounced out… I picture a tiny old man wearing pants pulled up to his armpits and holding a defensive rake rousting them off the grounds.

From Noel Casler:

I look forward to taking a pic in front of a certain person’s grave someday with a big smile on my face and a ‘thumbs up’ right after I zip up my fly.

^^will try again.

He visited suckers and losers?

I love how Business Insider says it wasn’t unusual for influential families to dodge the Vietnam draft. As if that excuses old bone spurs. WE KNOW. That’s the source of our anger. Thats why people were on the streets. Thats why we had a cultural revolution. That’s why liberals have loathed the Republicans war mongering. Because WE have to fight while they stay home, golf and go to studio 54.

Senator Warnock said that his father served this country and when he came home he could not sit down on a bus. A bus which took him to do back breaking labor because he couldn’t get a decent job. Does BI really think that black Americans are going to think “oh well if all the influential families were dodgers then I’ll vote for old bone spurs”

That’s not even touching how “influential families” get their idiot children into good schools. Another endless pit of BS.

The way the media excuses and tries to explain away this piece of shit boils my blood

MSM is disgusting.

"There are two points worth making on this incident.

First, any normal campaign would be apologizing to the staff of Arlington Cemetary as well as the family and friends of the veterans buried there for violating its rules.

The rules are pretty straightforward -- no photographs for political events -- and Trump violated them.

It's pretty bad that Trump did this, but the normal thing to do is to apologize.

Unfortunately, Donald Trump never learned how to apologize. Just like some kids have problems with arithmetic and can never learn basic adding and subtracting, Donald Trump never learned how to apologize.

The other more important point is that if the Harris campaign had ever done anything like this, EVERY SINGLE Republican politician and pundit would be screaming bloody murder.

They would all be demanding that Harris be removed from the ticket since she lacks the moral standing to be president.

You know damn well this is true.

And more mainstream outlets like the New York Times would be taking a "neutral" stand on the controversy, giving tons of attention to all the Republicans hyperventilating about the incident.

They would then also have a few balancing comments from Harris' campaign, which would of course have already apologized, and would be describing the incident as a regrettable mistake.

This is clearly how it would play out if the shoe were on the other foot, but the people who own and control the major media outlets will pay lower taxes with Donald Trump back in the White House."

The MSM is not the problem here. It’s the failure of our “leaders” to handle this as the responsible adults they pretend to be.

The press [italic]IS [/italic] making a big deal out of this. It’s getting coverage in every paper I’ve seen this morning.

I'm sending an email about this.

MAGA's "Law n Order" candidate, Felon 45.

"“Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate's campaign.”

Trump’s political wreath laying stunt/photo op at Arlington National Cemetery violated federal law, and cemetery officials tried to stop him. Two members of Trump’s campaign staff reportedly verbally abused and pushed a cemetery official aside in order to get the photo op. Arlington National Cemetery “can confirm there was an incident, and a report was filed”."

These maga fools don't give a fuck they're jerking off to an AI portrait of a jacked Trump feeding veterans like the sermon on the mount

In case you're interested in how the right is framing this debacle:

[quote] NEW: NPR is DEFAMING President Trump, saying he was wasn’t [sic] allowed to take photographs at Arlington National Cemetery

[quote]This is simply a LIE.

[quote]President Trump was invited to a private ceremony by the families of fallen soldiers from the disastrous Biden Harris withdrawal from Afghanistan, in which the cemetery authorized him to have a photographer.

[quote]Arlington’s DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF was pictured with President Trump while he was laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

[quote]You don’t think HE would have intervened if Trump wasn’t allowed to have a cameraman?

[quote]All of this happened while Biden and Harris were in hiding.

[quote]STOP GIVING FAKE NEWS NPR MY TAX DOLLARS!

America's ex can frame it however his fat, felonious, lying ass wants to but it's law.

"The relevant federal law:

32 CFR § 553.32(c) Memorial services and ceremonies at Army National Military Cemeteries will not include partisan political activities."

Well it’s not even a felony. And even felonies don’t seem to matter with this guy.

What a CHUMP

Ita weird how Ivanas grave was allowed to be covered in crabgrass and weeds. Like they told groundskeepers to ignore it. It's right on the fairway. There are abandoned Canadian maritime islands with better tended graves.

I saw the thread title and hoped that he was fighting to be buried there. Soon.

If he were, it would be a desecration to the others buried there, but at least he would be dead.

Law and Order? more like SVU

He will be buried somewhere his grifting kids can charge a fee for his cult members to see his grave. They will also charge for photos with his gravestone. No way will they not monetize his eventual death, grifting is in their blood

Thumbs up!

I just shared this because of where it came from.

Will reporters call out his bluff about the footage? No

I blame Merrick Garland for my having to deal with this Trump criminal pig in 2024.

Merrick Garland is useless and Biden should have yanked him out of his position years ago.

"MAGA is crying to "defund NPR" after they wrote an article calling out Donald Trump's team for getting into an altercation with a worker at Arlington National Cemetery.

Less than 1% of NPR's funding comes from federal grants.

And every time they cry about it, the public gives them more money.

Joke's on them."

This will be the norm for a second Trump term. A black booted entourage around the President shoving people out of the way.

The neck pussy is on full display.

Can we call it a nussy?

Jaysus christus! How the fuck do these assholes call themselves Christians???

[quote]Jaysus christus! How the fuck do these assholes call themselves Christians???

Hypocritically.

fuck them

[quote]It’s disrespectful as fuck.

Yes. It's the definition of unseemly.

But Trump will hug a flag and his idiot followers will ooh and ahh.

I know a retired military chaplain (republican) and my own retired Army dad (former Republican) who have both said they wished Trump's sniper had been successful. That's insane to me. These are guys in their 70's and 80's who are wishing the commander in chief dead.

There was no assassination attempt. They kidnapped that boy, murdered him and planted kompromat on his electronic devices. Then staged a false flag operation. There is nothing wrong with Turd's ear.

ooh, Papa Tooney, we got a looney!

The official at Arlington National Cemetery who was assaulted was a female.

Naturally.

When her name is released by Team Trump (because he's all about the doxxing), the rape and death threats she'll get from his scum cult will be horrendous.

Speaking of letting him get away with things

Of course it was a woman he attacked.

All of this for a thumbs-up smiling photo over a GRAVE?

It doesn't get more "Say cheese!" than that, r99.

R99 That was also my immediate reaction. How is that a smile for the camera situation. And do the families feel that Trump giving a smiling thumbs-up by their loved one's grave is appropriate?

This one is going to cost him.

GET THAT LOWLY SCHEMING PIECE OF SHIT OFF MY FATHER’S GRAVE 🇺🇸

The family are MAGAs who invited him (or at least agreed to be there with him). It’s the other families who are disrespected.

R7 Don’t worry about it. I was thinking the same thing.

How tacky: a fake smile and a thumb's up standing on a grave.

I hope people do the same to his last resting place.

R106, they'll have to install a gutter system for all the folks who want to piss on his grave

‘Deeply offensive’: Retired General reacts to Trump’s Arlington Cemetery controversy

Scott Jennings making me want to fucking puke defending this shit on CNN right now.

R107 More dicks pissing in that gutter than on Pride.

Today Donald Trump took a big shit at Arlington National but let us tell you why this is bad news for Kamala Harris first.

Trump Photo Op BUNGLED

It was this or tour the nation kissing babies and he’s a germaphobe so he can’t do that.

For which legions of babies would be duly grateful if they but knew.

What a disrespectful asshole.

And yet it's tied.

Who the hell applies his bronzer/lets him go in public looking like that?

Did nobody on his team try to talk him out of exploiting the dead at Arlington?

They are just as bad as HE is, r116.

Why would they care? Who is going to stop them? Who?

They gave zero respect or reverence for anything but money. Greedy, grasping demons consuming all in their path JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN.

R109 Scott Jennings is basically a Fox tool fired by CNN for his sycophantic right wing defense on all things Trump.

Sorry for typo: Scott Jennings is basically a Fox tool "HIRED" by CNN for his sycophantic right wing defense on all things Trump.

I truly do not understand why he is allowed to do any damn thing he wants without any repercussions. Why aren't the rest of us allowed to just do whatever we want?

Trump keeps breaking norms because we allow him to. There is absolutely nothing normal about 80% of what he does.

Anyone who tries to stop him or calls him out gets doxxed, death threats, & swatted, their families get doxxed and sent death threats and swatted. The people making deaths threats and calling in the swatting have zero repurcussions. So, he's just allowed to do whatever he wants, until we vote him into dust again or Satan finally drags him into Hell because his bestie Jeffrey Epstein is missing him so much.

R122 It has gotten to this point because nobody since 2016 want to stand up to Trump.

I would love to do just that.

Right -Wing CNN has become known as Zaslav’s Folly

You don’t bring someone who gives America 20,000 lb Twins and tell them to run a decent respectable newsroom

Burning a flag would have been less disrespectful than filming a commercial on dead soldier’s graves

"NPR reports that Arlington staff have “never seen the level of disrespect” that they got from Trump campaign goons.

In a campaign photo, Trump showed a headstone from a combat vet who committed suicide. He did not get the family’s permission. Yeah. Read that again.

An outrage."

I hope that family sued the ever living FUCK out of that useless cunt.

Remember, he hosted his 2020 Republican Convention at the White House.

He doesn’t respect anyone but himself.

As far as he’s concerned, it’s all his playground.

What are you gonna do about it?

[quote]Anyone who tries to stop him or calls him out gets doxxed, death threats, & swatted, their families get doxxed and sent death threats and swatted.

That’s why Arlington isn’t identifying the female employee the Trump team bullied — she’s (rightfully) afraid that her life will be turned upside down.

If something goes wrong, Trump must be in the vicinity.

R128, I can’t believe what a disgusting story this is. The cemetery employee who had been assaulted withdrew her complaint because she was afraid of being hunted down by Trump’s appalling followers. His campaign then mocked her and accused her of being crazy. Everything is a sadistic comedy to them.

We have film showing we weren't filming.

This is the guy that they'll blame it on.

I'm trying to understand this situation. None of what I'm about to ask is meant to imply that there was anything OK about what he did; I am a die-hard hater of the King of Maga Lardo. I just want to understand the exact ground for the objection, based on what I'm reading about Arlington National Cemetery rules.

He was invited there by the bereaved military family. Pictures are supposedly not disallowed as long as it's not for partisan political purposes. Does he have any cover in that regard? Obviously, we know it was publicity for his campaign. But if it came down to it, legally, would it have to be proved somehow that this was a campaign stunt? Or again, does he have cover in that it may be a matter of opinion?

Of course, shoving the worker who tried to stop them is undoubtedly a crime.

I just can't stand how they get away with anything and everything, and I try to get past the spin to comprehend exactly what they did or did not do.

R136, this isn’t complicated. Trump went to Arlington with his campaign staff. His staff videotaped him posing in an area which, by federal law, cannot by photographed for political purposes. (Why? Soldiers who recently died are buried there. They are the ones with living relatives). Trump then distributed the video online as part of a political attack on Biden.

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox's campaign has faced scrutiny over the past few days for sending an email detailing his visit with former U.S. President Donald Trump to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Today, he apologized for sending that fundraising email.

He looks like a deplorable Buddha, r135.

Couldn't someone have had a grave ready for him and pushed him straight in? It would have solved a lot of problems.

PURE DISGRACE

GRIFTING SCUM.

P. T. Barnum dirty dancing around on Hallowed Ground

Of course, nothing will be done about it, since every day brings a new outrage that the public has become numb and accepting.

What, me care? They don't pay me for that.

Was he really playing his dope jam “Celebration” above the dead soldiers

At least he wasn’t doing that little dance of his.

He really fucked this up because it is not going away. And B TW, notice that once again, the mainstream media is not getting the stories. NPR broke this, and someone had video t hat they posted. Trump's numbers have to be taking a dive. And you know what? Georgia has a lot of military bases and soldiers. Just saying, HArris and Walz are in Georgia while this is happening. Hope they make to most of it.

It gets more disgusting:

[quote] Military officials said that the cemetery worker feared that pursuing the matter with the authorities at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Virginia, which has jurisdiction over the cemetery, could subject her to retaliation from Trump supporters. Mr. Cheung said in a statement on Wednesday that “that is ridiculous and sounds like someone who has Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

R148 Someone posted video of the altercation?

I’m shocked he didn’t get a photo op of himself at John Kennedy’s grave. I’m shocked he didn’t try to piss on the eternal flame.

This isn't going away

And EVERYONE knows how much he hates the military! A lot of praise and medals and money 💰 for something he could never ever do.

All that acclaim and reverence, for what, they’re not billionaires, they don’t own high rises and oceanfront mansions.

Hope you ^ are correct in the court of public opinion.

Because the employee is afraid of the trump goon squad the matter is officially closed.

file those charges, ARMY! Fucking AG will never move to action.

I think his hatred of the military stems from being shipped off to that school for future serial killers by his parents and hating all of the former military teachers who read him to filth, trying to unmake a psychopath. Just a continuation of his oppositional defiance disorder. Accent on the disorder.

NYT: A woman who works at the cemetery filed an incident report with the military authorities over the altercation. But the official, who has not been identified, later declined to press charges. [bold]Military officials said she feared Mr. Trump’s supporters pursuing retaliation.[/bold]

She’s right. Trump’s own people at her job there and in the military would put a target on her back. MAGA is unforgiving of those who go against Dear Leader.

Remember when this fat, UnAmerican pussy was so triggered that he had this done?

"Navy acknowledges request was made to hide USS John S. McCain during Trump visit

"A request was made to the U.S. Navy to minimize the visibility of USS John S. McCain" during President Donald Trump's recent state visit to Japan, the Navy said in a statement."

And then they accuse her of having a mental break. And yesterday Trump accused Harris of faking her internet engagement with bots. So I translate that to Trump is having a mental breakdown and pissed that the one bill he has no choice but to pay for his bots.

She's gonna get doxxed by the Trump camp, anyway. Jesse Watters, Catturd, Charlie Kirk, and the rest of them will have her name, address, and face and the addresses of her family by next weekend.

"In a new, OFFICIAL STATEMENT, the Army is defending its staff member who found herself in a confrontation with Trump campaign employees at Arlington National Cemetery"

It’s not going away, but it won’t matter. MAGAs believe what they want to believe.

"Speaker of the House Mike Johnson had to intervene to get former President Donald Trump into Arlington National Cemetery for the third anniversary of the Afghanistan withdrawal with Gold Star families.

A source familiar with the conversations between the Gold Star families and Arlington National Cemetery said that after Johnson’s phone call, the entire situation changed."

That little toadie…..

Where were you during the first and second commemorations of the soldiers' deaths, donald? You didn't give a fuck until now, the third year which, just coincidently, is an election year.

What a sick, scheming tired old bag of shit!

5-Star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ General Mike Johnson can overrule???

Rick Wilson has thoughts

The lackey that pushed the Arlington rep be fired.

..must be

It probably wasn’t a lackey. It probably was a Goebbels or a Bormann.

The staffer who pushed the Arlington employee should be named and shamed

Pushed her and then libeled her in public by calling her crazy. I hope the Army backs her up and protects her. Otherwise people will stop respecting the Army.

Is this even being talked about on the cables? Because you know if this were Kamala Harris' team, MSNBC and CNN would be all over this 24/7.

Oh well, I guess it's just another Trump crime to throw on the pile that no one will do anything about.

The Magas are quite aware that Dump breaks the law and has zero couth or respect for ANYONE. They love that. They wish they could be him. They are disgusting.

The soldier in question has declined to press charges out of fear of MAGA threats and retaliation, so nothing official will come of this.

Trump campaign responded by calling her fears “ridiculous “ (which they are not) and said she suffered from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

He sent his mob into the Capitol on 1/6 to hang Mike Pence, beat up and kill cops, and kill Democratic members of Congress. Then he sat there and watched it on TV, doing nothing. It is ludicrous to accuse this woman of having TDS. She is right to be concerned about her own safety.

I will be crying about this, on CNN tonight.

Tomorrow, after President Trump manages to only call me the N word behind my back instead of to my face, I'll announce he's "presidental" and everyone around me at the table will nod in agreement.

r81, Or mention that the statement was about "...hollowed grounds". These fucking people are lying for him every day. Most of the media just changed it, including the NYT, of course. It's sic.

“For a despicable individual to physically prevent President Trump’s team from accompanying him to this solemn event is a disgrace and does not deserve to represent the hollowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery,” he said in a written statement, misspelling the word hallowed.

Speaker Mike Johnson was apparently behind this stunt.

"So Lewandowski returned to the Trump campaign and they immediately started assaulting women again."

Senate is escalating this. Good.

Fired for assaulting a government employee, R169.

God damn him AND his hateful, bitter cult.

Every last one.

May they all come to know the full horror of their deeds.

"free speech absolutist"

R187 Free speech for me, not for thee.

R187, you know Musk is thinking "I'm so powerful, isn't this great? I can just yell at someone and make it happen!"

This is why they made guillotines.

God Muskrat is awful. We seriously need to rethink all of these Tesla and SpaceX tax breaks as long as he's connected to those companies.

Roll the fucking guillotines!

We need some heads on pukes up in here!

He wasn't going to be allowed in but Speaker Mike Johnson, Weasel In Charge stepped in.

Oh. The Speaker intervened? Good to know where the blame lies.

What a fucking weirdo. Who does a thumbs up and shit eating grin at someone's grave? (Well, actually I will when the orange pus monster takes a dirt nap. A big ole grin and a whole lot of piss and shit for his grave site)

Who does this? The same creature who buried his baby mama in a backyard like a dog!

Governor of Utah apologizing for his part in the disaster.

This is a dumpster fire race to the bottom by Trump and his gang by appropriating dead military on restricted solemn grounds for political campaign purposes.

The guard was probably a Trumper (molitary, natch) as they decided not to press charges or anything. Sad, because the Trump camp then proceeded to disparage and humiliate them. Oops.

Hoping this issue stays on fire and doesn’t go away. The heat needs to be given to mike Johnson as well, for allowing this to happen. What was he thinking? What could possibly go wrong?

The stupid trump campaign just gave the Dems another talking point to use against him. Oh yeah, you know Kamala will be bringing this up at the debate.

Like Moses Mike cares about fallen military. Please. He's such a sniveling bitch.

Actually it is a quite poetic, isn’t it? If they were to be prosecuted for (more) fraud now, they would cry that they are being politically persecuted.

It will be soooooo rich to witness the GOP cry later about just how badly they were defrauded. They will whine and stamp their feet, demanding justice.

Sure they will, r216, then demand us taxpayers foot the bill for their fucking asshattery.

Those lazy motherfuckers could have been RID of this garbage forever at the SECOND impeachment, but their dicks fell off and their balls shriveled up.

So, they have it coming and I hope that grifting kkklan robs those fuckers blind

r205 [quote]Trump is now claiming the video from Arlington are a setup by the administration, despite the fact they were posted by his own campaign’s TikTok page. [quote]

So, Trump is saying that the Biden Administration trickled him into going to Arlington and doing what he did?

r207, r208

Maybe calling it a freakshow might land with the marginal MAGAs.

He's gonna get somebody killed

^^^.

Fox needs to lose another $800 million lawsuit.

Wtf r221?

Re: R219 & R220: The press should stop licking his shitter. He hates them even though they've bowed to him, and should he win, they will be first to be thrown to his crazy supportets for raping and killing.

"Do Not Obey in Advance"

Arlington Event is analogous for another Golf Course Blowback

Now a member of one of the Gold Star families is saying on Twitter that the Biden/Harris administration was invited as well but never responded. All week long this wasn't mentioned by anyone so I call bullshit on this claim. These families are MAGA and blame Biden for what happened. There's no way they invited Biden or Harris. Trump retweeted that statement so it wouldn't surprise me if he asked them to say that, to take the heat off him.

We need a bigger basket to contain the deplorables, R227.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were not invited to Arlington National Cemetery by Gold Star families last week to commemorate the third anniversary of the attack at Abbey Gate, a White House official and a Harris aide told NBC News, refuting separate claims made Sunday by GOP Sen. Tom Cotton and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

[quote]There's no way they invited Biden or Harris.

Whotheactualfuck cares if they were?

R195 when a picture is worth (well more) than a 1000 words

You mean they lied?

[gasp!]

Why are they called "gold-star" families anyway? Seriously, I don't get lionizing the families of dead people who chose to enlist.

Arlington asked for it! It's pussy was right there and I'm famous, ok? So, I grabbed it. I moved on Arlington like the bitch she is and no one will do anything about it because I'm a star and they let you get away with it when you're a star.

The Gold Star Maga families involved in the Arlington stunt and ongoing lies should be held accountable. Sympathy only goes so far and these people are trash for not only creating this mess but creating even more chaos by adding lie upon lie all for their beloved Trump.

The whole scammy plan was to lie that it was some sort of official event that Biden and Harris declined to attend. But the scuffle with the employee and ensuing outrage derailed their plan—but they continue to lie about it anyway.

Meanwhile, Coach Walz is serving ice cream and malts at the Minnesota state fair today with his wife Gwen. Good people 🇺🇸.

R229, I'm glad they're being called out. The two families who invited Trump are the same two families who refused to meet Joe and Jill Biden on the day their deceased family members returned home. The other eleven families did meet with them. Now these same two families are spreading the lie that Joe and Kamala never reached out to them when they were the ones who refused to speak to them.

[quote] WaPo doesn’t even mention that the family of a Green Beret buried at Arlington expressed dismay that Trump’s photo op showed the headstone of their loved one. The WaPo story leaves the impression that all the military families thought Trump’s stunt was OK.

Imagine how the legendary WashedUpPost would frame this incident if a Democrat danced on Arlington graves for a fucking photo op. They’d be calling for resignations. But Trump gets a pass cause the rightwing military loves him.

He did literally dance on those graves

HE PISSED ON THOSE GRAVES

[quote]Why are they called "gold-star" families anyway? Seriously, I don't get lionizing the families of dead people who chose to enlist.

It goes back to WWI

R212-also hope Dump loses but Trumper’s are everywhere. Power hungry-Greedy- haters can so easily knock over democracy at the ballot box or contest a close race. Can’t believe how easy it will be for them. Trumper’s will boast how their ‘’revolution’’ happened without a shot fired.OMG

Blaming it on the families. All class. If he'd just shut his mouth this would go away until he steps into the next shit pile. I'm predicting this Tuesday.

[quote]or contest a close race

LoL, r244, it won't be close.

[quote]HE PISSED ON THOSE GRAVES

And the host family said it was orange juice.

The felonious fool has released another ad using forbidden footage.

Like I said at R234: they let ME do it.

No one tells ME what to do.

Who is going to sue him? Everyone is afraid of his fucking qult. SCROTUS said he can do whatever he wants with no prosecution.

Even that "assassin" couldn't hit him with an AR.

When Satan shows up to claim him, I will dance in the fucking street. He has it coming and it better fucking arrive!

We don't want him down here in hell, stinking the place up with his poopy diapers.

Looks like he and his cronies are revving-up for another administration of breaking all the rules.

[quote] White House says Biden and Harris weren’t invited to Arlington Cemetery by families of service members killed during Afghanistan withdrawal

Gold Star families did not invite President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to Arlington National Cemetery by last week to commemorate the third anniversary of the attack at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan, a White House official and a Harris aide told NBC News, rebutting separate claims made Sunday by GOP Sen. Tom Cotton and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

The two were speaking about former President Donald Trump's visit last week to Arlington National Cemetery, where he has drawn criticism for posing for photos with Gold Star families in a section of the cemetery where photos are traditionally prohibited.

Last week, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Trump’s visit was a “personal invitation by families.”

“There are many ways that we as a nation and our leaders can observe the third anniversary of Abbey Gate,” Kirby said. “Another way is to continue to work, maybe not with a lot of fanfare, maybe not with a lot of public attention, maybe not with TV cameras, but to work every single day to make sure that the families of the fallen and of those who were injured and wounded — not just at Abbey Gate but over the course of the 20-some-odd years that we were in Afghanistan — have the support that they need.”

The Army also accused a member of Trump's campaign staff of "abruptly pushing aside" a cemetery staff member who sought to enforce restrictions on taking photos and video at the location.

Asked about the incident Sunday on NBC News' "Meet the Press," Cotton, R-Ark., told moderator Kristen Welker: "These families, Gold Star families, whose children died because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ incompetence invited Trump to the cemetery and they asked him to take those photos. ... You know who the families also invited? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Where were they? Joe Biden was sitting at a beach. Kamala Harris was sitting at her mansion in Washington, D.C."

Cotton said he spoke to Kelly Barnett and Darin Hoover, the parents of Marine Staff Sgt. Darin Taylor Hoover, who died in Afghanistan three years ago. Cotton didn't specify whether they were the family members he claimed invited Biden and Harris.

Gabbard, a former Democratic House member from Hawaii, echoed Cotton, telling CNN on Sunday: "President Biden and Harris, I heard, were invited by some of these family members. They not only didn’t come; they didn’t even respond to that invitation."

Trump last week defended the photos and videos he took at the cemetery, telling NBC News in Michigan on Thursday that a Gold Star family "asked me whether or not I would stand for a picture at the grave of their loved one who should not have died.”

He said he didn’t initiate the photo, adding: “While I was there, I didn’t ask for a picture. While I was there, they said, ‘Sir, could we have a picture at the grave?’"

Trump's campaign posted a TikTok video of the ceremony, and Trump campaign co-manager Chris LaCivita posted a video on X of Trump laying flowers at a grave.

Trump defended that on Thursday, too, saying, "Well, we have a lot of people ... TikTok people."

"I don't know who did it, and it could have been them. It could have been the parents. It could have been somebody," he added.

On Friday, at a rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Trump said: “Joe Biden killed those young people because he was incompetent. And then they tell me that I use their graves for public relations services, and I didn’t." Trump took to X on Saturday night, posting multiple videos of relatives of killed service members defending him and criticizing Harris and Biden.

In one video, Darin Hoover addresses Harris directly, saying Trump treated the family with the "utmost respect" and asking where she and Biden were on "Aug. 26, 2024." He said they were "nowhere near Arlington Cemetery. You couldn’t be bothered to be with us or say our kids' names.”

In a statement accompanying the Trump campaign videos Sunday, members of the Gold Star families said they were "appalled" by Harris' attempts to "politicize" Trump's visit to the cemetery.

"President Trump was invited by us, the Gold Star families, to attend the solemn ceremonies commemorating the three-year anniversary of our children’s deaths," the statement said. "He was there to honor their sacrifice, yet Vice President Harris has disgracefully twisted this sacred moment into a political ploy."

The videos were posted in response Harris' statement Saturday saying Trump "disrespected sacred ground" during his visit to Arlington National Cemetery, in the Virginia suburbs of Washington.

I'm disappointed in Kristen Welker and NBC News for letting Tom Cotton spew those lies on Meet the Press.

Especially since the White House came out and said they weren't invited.

WHAT.A.CUNT!

Celebrity Apprentice: Dead Soldier Backdrop

R254 provides a glimpse into the world of delusion known as MAGA, where up is down and Trump is never in the wrong.

The Political Stunt that not only dishonored a cemetery full of brave soldiers but dishonored an entire Nation.

[quote] I'm disappointed in Kristen Welker and NBC News

You're just figuring this out?

How The Hell Was Trump Allowed To Use Arlington National Cemetery As A Campaign Prop?

Tone deaf. Cruel and stupid. Liars.

Could have invited the magat families of the fallen for a visit to the whore house in Florida.

No one would have noticed or complained about that!

The family is lying, saying they invited " Joe Biden" and "Kamala Harris' as well as " President Trump" to this shitshow.

"“World War III?” Fewer U.S. Troops Died in Combat Under Biden-Harris Than Trump

Trump’s most extravagant lie is that the Democratic administration are warmongers, and he was a peacemaker."

TRUMP IS HITLER WITHOUT THE CHARM.

TRUMP is a CHILDISH CUNT

Trump IS Poopy Stinky Fucktard Extraordinaire!

Why oh why hasn't a lifetiime of Mickey D's hasn't clogged up all his arteries by now? Is it all a myth how fast food isn't good for you?

I just HATE this motherfucker. He should’ve died from Covid, or from his diet, or from the gunshot or from the MANY people he has defrauded. But no.

I wish his long, red tie would pull an Isadora Duncan somehow.

R259, unfornately he has been dishonouring your country for quite a while now.

Exhaustively and exhaustingly.

The media doesn’t GAF if fat Donnie drops trau and lays a deuce right in front of them.

The NYT would have a headline, “Donnie dumps on stage - why this spells doom for Democrats!”

It’s too bad our country is so addicted to television and we can’t coordinate an effort to tank these channels and make the reasons known.

The collective average audience for Fox, CNN and MSNBC was just over 3 million in August. Only a tiny fraction of America's 333 million citizens are "addicted" to them.

[quote]Trump does not have a single campaign event this week, according to his website. His next scheduled public appearance is Saturday in Wisconsin.

Something is wrong with his health or stamina. If he were healthy, he would be doing rallies and public appearances all the time, just like he did in 2016 and 2020. He was doing more appearances during the height of Covid.

R275, his energy is gone. He couldn’t stay awake during his own criminal trial, he’s certainly not going attend a bunch of stupid rallies.

He couldn't stay awake during a speech praising him at the RNC when he knew he'd be on camera.

He's beyond unfit.

He could also have PTSD from the assassination attempt. Any normal person would--then again, Trump is not normal.

[Quote] These families, Gold Star families, whose children died because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ incompetence invited Trump to the cemetery and they asked him to take those photos.

This tells you everything you need to know about his visit.

Note that, during the 2020 campaign, Biden could easily have pulled a similar stunt — especially because more U.S. service people died during Trump’s administration than under Biden’s. But somehow, it didn’t occur to Biden to do so.

Trump doesn’t need to campaign or go to rallies.

He knows Pootz and traitor Flynn and Roger Stone plus the installed cultists on SCROTUS are doing everything they can to steal this by causing chaos and destruction.

Apparently the vets aren't too upset that the asshole defiled the most sacred ground.

[quote]Former President Trump is leading Vice President Harris among veterans, active service members and their families, according to a new poll of the voting bloc. A survey from Change Research, shared with The Hill on Wednesday, found Trump is leading Harris 51 percent to 41 percent among veterans and 49 percent to 44 percent among active duty, guardsmen and reservists. The margin was smaller among family members of veterans, with Trump edging out Harris 47 percent to 45 percent.
