Disrespect for the Dead in Arlington National Cemetery

[subdudeme13]

How can any Veteran support this deplorable?

I am hoping I live longer than Trump so I can do defecate on his grave!

House Speaker Mike Johnson leant his shoulder to getting this moving.

Is this the two-tear system or weaponizing I read about

I didn't realize what the deal was with him being there. What a slug!

 

[butters]

the acid test for all those supporting this is if they can honestly say they'd not be frothing at the mouth had it been Kamala Harris and her campaign team doing exactly the same thing.

it was never about him being there but about his campaign team (under his directions) violating the historical sanctity and solemnity of Arlington in order to use it as campaign material.

and while some of the families of the fallen 13 had requested trump's presence, the relatives of others buried in area 60 did not want his sideshow happening over the graves of their own, as per the regulations Arlington has adhered to historically and everyone else has always respected.

I wonder if Roarbags is going to rush to correct your sentence.

Maybe she's in Appalachia.

Fox News says trump is a piece of shit.


Trump's Arlington Cemetery event was in 'flagrant violation' of law: officials

 

[Rightguide]

There was no "funeral ceremony" going on, merely a crass political stunt attempting to use American military hallowed ground as a campaign ad to prop up Trump's floundering presidential campaign.

So you're calling the families liars?

How do you know, did you speak with them?

Video from Section 60, where recently buried U.S. service members are interred, later appeared in a Trump campaign Tik Tok in which he criticizes President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival for the presidency.

"Donald Trump has no right to use our most hallowed ground for his political aims," Fred Wellman, a 22-year Army combat veteran, said Wednesday. "For a lot of us, and I'm not the only one, people are aptly furious."

Nearly 400,000 people are buried at the cemetery, which is maintained by the U.S. Army. The Trump campaign's insistence on using the setting to shoot campaign material is a "new low," said former Army undersecretary and Pennsylvania Rep. Patrick Murphy.

The campaign's response − attacking the mental health of a respected cemetery official − only prompted further backlash from veterans and veterans' groups.

a video appears beneath this expressing the contempt veterans have for trump's actions.

Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Paul Eaton, a senior adviser at the progressive political action committee VoteVets, called the campaign's actions at the cemetery "nauseating."

Eaton, whose father is buried in Section 60, noted previous reports, repeatedly denied by Trump, that the former president had referred to World War I dead as "suckers" and "losers."

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...d-losers-he-denies-claim-atlantic/5714254002/

"They see no issue bringing partisan politics there, even if it means getting into physical altercations with cemetery staff.," Eaton said in a statement to USA TODAY. "I truly cannot think of something more repugnant than starting a political fracas on land where Gold Star families mourn. Someone who would do that should never be Commander in Chief.”

One of the first things the MAGA movement did is adopt the evangelical concept of hypocrisy not being a thing that needs to be acknowledged.

We see that at work every day here. Do as I say, not as I do applies when you have god (for them, Trump and righteousness) on one's side.

This problem is now prolific in America. The only way to make people go back to recognizing hypocrisy, is pain; being a hypocrite needs to hurt - period.

I'm hopeful those days are coming. If they don't, it'll be one of the key factors in the end of our democracy, I believe.

It’s still posted as blatant disregard for the law

Hmmm. It’s against the law to use the cemetery for political messages

Steal Valor much???

He was to BLAME!! His planned withdrawal as Commander in Chief. His agreements with the Taliban as POTUS

Fine the SHIT out of him. Perhaps the cost of running Arlington for a whole year!! His thugs? Toss them in jail

Take down the video by day’s end

No one above the law?? What a joke!!

As we see rotund Rob skipping fearfully and whistling past the graveyard.

That means that your acid test is a dud. Because TDS.

 

[RobDownSouth]

So you're calling the families liars?

Yes, I am. If they want to use their dead children as political props, have them reinterred at some commercial cemetery and they can stage as many political stunts as they want.

They cheapen the sacrifices made by their loved ones to support a political hack.

You know that "cheapening the sacrafices made by their loves ones" doesn't mean the families are "liars" don't you?

See, this is the kind of fuckup you do every day all day long.

 

[butters]

as is so common amongst the magat minority, they believe that what they want they can demand and those demands supercede the will of everyone else in the majority.

A sitting president paying his respects to America's deceased veterans being photographed by the official photographer of Arlington Cemetery is in no way, shape or form the equivalent of a cheap political stunt done by a political candidate's staff in an election year to generate political propaganda.

Your grotesque attempt at false equivalency is further confirmation as to your complete lack of honor, your poor character and your utter lack of moral turpitude.

Once again, you bring great shame to yourself, your family name, the legal profession and the membership of the California State Bar Association.

You are a very weak man, both physically and morally.

This is a deflection away from butterfatz' claim based on her "acid test" that there'd be "outrage" if someone like Harris did it. Well, there's Joe in the cemetery and NO ONE is "outraged" by him posting an image.

Which makes the claim a LIE and you trying to deflect away from it isn't a good look.

Also, so far there hasn't been a "political use." Posting the image on a Tik Tok account doesn't automatically make it one even if the account belongs to someone running for office.

Your TDS is twisting your mind into believing lies.

 

[HisArpy]

as is so common amongst the magat minority, they believe that what they want they can demand and those demands supercede the will of everyone else in the majority.

Trump was INVITED, he didn't ask to be there.

So whatever the fuck your fevered TDS riddled brain comes up with, is probably another lie.

 

[RobDownSouth]

You know that "cheapening the sacrafices made by their loves ones" doesn't mean the families are "liars" don't you?

See, this is the kind of fuckup you do every day all day long.

Rightguide claimed the families "granted permission" to photograph the restricted area of Arlington.
The permission was not theirs to give.
Their "permission" does not override national cemetery policy, no matter how hard you try to spin it to the contrary.

You bring great shame to yourself, your family, the legal profession and the California State Bar Association once again.

You are a weak man: spiritually, physically and mentally.

I didn't have to: I read their words as given to news media outlets
