Disrespect for the Dead in Arlington National Cemetery

It nearly penetrated his ear, but didn't.

Trump is lucky to be alive. He said it had something to do with God, but quickly forgot about that. Went out and played golf the next day. So there is that rapid healing thing going on. Miraculous Donny.
He had faster healing than Lazarus.

Threw himself to the ground in a blind funk, realized he was still alive and when told to by his Security, hauled his sorry ass back up posing to the cameras like Hulk Hogan. A week later he couldn't be bothered with that silly ear-tampon any more and what a hero; not even a scar.

We can bet the first thing he'll do on Day One, even before declaring himself Dictator, will be to grant himself the Purple Heart.
 
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.
Joe Biden was not in Section 60. It was not used in a campaign. Another deflection.

Trump posted it on Tic Tok. If you think he posted it there for some reason other than political fodder, you are an idiot twisting your own mind into believing Trump was acting appropriately at the grave site. Who posts smiling pictures of himself with two thumbs up over a gravestone at a solemn ceremony? An idiot would who has no concept of compassion for the surviving members of fallen soldiers.

Arphy, it is not defensible even by your standards. Stop. Lay low and leave well enough alone.
 
ARLINGTON gave permission after Speaker Mike Johnson got involved at the FAMILIES request.

Jeebus, you fucking Lefies are so fucking stupid it amazes me that anyone can be that stupid and not spontaneously combust.
Arlington's arm was twisted to allow Trump to attend, not to make political hay out of the event and disrespect the solemnity of others. It has nothing to do with spontaneous combustion or Carbon water affiliated.
 
Good question - not sure.

All I know is, if he ends up lying in state at the Capitol, his body will be only a few feet away from where his most devoted fans took shits on the floor.

I can't think of a more fitting legacy. 😊
Few Presidents were buried at Arlington. Most sites are in their home states. The last four presidents were buried on-site grounds with their libraries.

Trump will probably be entombed at Bedminster Golf Course next to his ex-wife. The one he cheated on numerous times. He wouldn't have a library just a few porn magazines and videos of himself and a few notable ladies.

Of course, he will lie in state at the Capitol Rotunda. It will be the biggest, most crowded funeral ever attended by devoted admirers—larger crowds than those who attended Martin Luther King's Dream speech, of course.
 
So, it's okay to have violated Federal law against such filming? Please note that the filming was not for the families. It was for Trump's political campaign, a direct breaking of the law. Where does it stand when a convicted felon violates another law? Is he subject to prosecution?
I disagree, I believe the photo takes were at the request of the families for their consumption and are not against the law. Where it goes over the line is if a political message is intentionally added or included with the photos. Other grave sites also need to be protected from exposure. The case is closed period.
 
Serving in the military is not a get-out-of-jail-free card and has nothing to do with the ability to criticize you when you are blatantly wrong.
I’m not wrong. Being called a coward and a traitor because I disagree with opposing viewpoints is despicable. You outwardly hate Trump and I despise Biden. The fact that you voted for and support Biden, in your delusional world, should give me justification to attack you, call you a traitor, a coward a threat to democracy, why? because my opinion of Biden supersedes yours personal beliefs and values and you should be dishonored and have your character destroyed regardless of your service to our country. Well my friend, In my opinion that’s fascism. I’ve never treated you in that manner, as a matter of fact I’ve have the deepest respect for your service and your political preferences. It’s a free country and we both spent precious years defending that right to choose.
 
A scratch “Almost cost him his life”?
He was struct by an assassin’s bullet, missed blowing his head off by mere centimeters, and because, by the grace of God, it didn’t kill him minimizes the event. Most people would become shrinking violets but he’s back out there, that takes courage and conviction. Would you be brave enough?
 
Its a HOAX

But YOU must perpetuate it!
Trump truly cares for these dead heroes and has gone out of his way to mourn with the families. To share their grief. How Biden and Harris handled it will be on their conscience. You can be rest assured Biden and Harris will not be on these brave and hurting families’ Christmas card list.
 
I find it not comical, but completely disgusting, that those who took an oath to support and defend the constitution betrayed that oath by supporting someone who wants to suspend the constitution because they didn't win an election.

I don't give a single fuck what a traitor like you thinks - about me or anything else.

You are the lowest of the low. You swore to protect and defend and now you betray. You actively support someone who wants to terminate the constitution. These are his words.

And you blithely say "but he didn't mean it...."

Fuck off traitor.
You’re the epitome of fascism.

You don’t know that. For all we know, and the FBI, it could have been just a fragment of a bullet. His scratch supports that.

Also, I’m curious, have you watched Trump’s TikTok?
 
You don't even know what fascism is, traitor.
If you had your way you would suppress any form of speech that supports Trump and punish anyone who supports Trump. You would place Biden as your ultimate ruler and jail Trump voters. That's a form of fascism.

Come on, no on wants to do that. I hope you don’t really feel that way.

There are democrats and posters alike that hate Trump so much they would conduct themselves in that manner. Just look at the democrats in the last 8 years. They've spent millions of dollars trying to put Trump in prison. Lawfare is a real threat to true justice. When law enforcement is used as an extension of party rule, well just saying.

Trump should stop breaking laws, but he can’t seem to help himself. Actually, as he said, he just thinks he can get away with it. Kind of like not paying his bills.
 

Here it is @icanhelp1

Here is what another family whose loved one is buried in area 60 had to say. I sounds like you understand why this is illegal, and you certainly get why this is so very disrespectful.

However, it wasn’t just the graves of those killed at Abbey Gate that were featured in photo and video from Trump’s visit. In at least one photo posted online, the grave of an Army Special Forces soldier who died by suicide is also featured; his family has since said they did not give the campaign permission to do so. The grave of Master Sgt. Andrew Marckesano, a Silver Star recipient, sits next to that of Marine Staff Sgt. Darin Taylor Hoover.

A statement from Marckesano’s sister on behalf of their family said that while they supported families of the 13 fallen “in their quest for answers and accountability regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal and the tragedy at Abbey Gate,” the Trump campaign “did not adhere to the rules” of Section 60.

“[A]ccording to our conversation with Arlington National Cemetery, the Trump Campaign staffers did not adhere to the rules that were set in place for this visit to SSGT Hoover’s grave site in Section 60, which lays directly next to my brother’s grave,” the statement from Michele Marckesano said. “We hope that those visiting this sacred site understand that these were real people who sacrificed for our freedom and that they are honored and respected accordingly.”
 
Due to the fact the push was probably an act of self defense
"Self defense"? She was trying to her job and got shoved out of the way.
That's not "self defense" by any stretch of the law.
It's assault and battery by the Trump campaign flunky

and the absolute inability to prove in court the circumstances of the ceremony was a "political activity" as defined in Army regulations and DOD policy.
The fact that the "thumbs up and goofy grin over the military tombstones" picture appeared on Trump's campaign fundraiser website mere hours after the stunt would appear to be prima facie evidence of political activity.

Keep tryin'.
Keep lyin'.
 
What part of HE HAD AUTHORIZATION didn't you understand?

Jeebus talking to you dim bulbs is nearly impossible. You only hear the voices in your head.
What part of "AUTHORIZATION FOR THE WREATH LAYING CEREMONY ONLY AT ARLINGTON" do YOU not understand?

Had you submitted the carefully cropped image of Trump's limited "permission" from that sleazy Townhall link you as evidence in a court of law, the state bar would have yanked your legal license and membership so fast the next words out of your mouth would have been "Thank you for shopping at Walmart! May I see your receipt please?"

Yet another PBS lie gone viral.

Need to add de-funding PBS to the list of things to be done.
What does Pabst Blue Ribbon have to do with grave desecration, chumley?
I think you meant NPR. Those three letter acronyms confuse room-temperature mouth breathers such as yourself.
In any event, you are quoting a Townhall piece that contains a carefully cropped photo of an email to the Trump campaign from Arlington granting photographic permission ONLY at the tomb of the unknown soldier, NOT active gravesites.

If anyone wants proof of the Trump cult existing, HisArpy, Ican't and Wrongway ( I'm sure Busybody's alts in this too) offer up very solid evidence. In a place built to offer respect to those who gave everything, their defence of one disrespecting that hallow ground should be ample enough evidence.
