Trump 36: We Shall Overcome

[hoipolloi]

I am so ashamed that the US president couldn't be bothered to honor the dead, but since tRump is without honor himself -- besides being a fucking narcissistic sociopath -- perhaps it's for the best.

Love this tweet for many reasons:

How is Fox news going to spin the criticism of him refusing to honor our fallen heroes because there was  light rain?

I’m so sorry. I know people who lost everything in Paradise. It’s so heartbreaking. I’m an old pro at wildfires and I can’t look at the pictures without crying. 

I wish your family the best. 

We spoke with them today. They lost everything and have my SIL's 92 YO living with them. They were lucky to get out, and that they were hit during daylight. So now the 92 YO has to been shifted to another home in NV...she has dementia so that could be problematic. They left with the clothes on their backs. The extended family has already pitched in and funds have been sent so they can at least get some essentials. They are staying with an adult daughter in Chico with 15 other displaced people. Last year 2 of my hub's cousins' homes were lost in the fires near Santa Rosa.

It's the battle of TresSomme.  You can't imagine the conditions he's going up against.  Wind, rain....mist are the enemies, the biggest enemies.

If you don't get rid of the presidunce next year then I wouldn't be surprised if the US was kicked out of NATO soon.

 

We have a saying in Dutch, that translates something like this: no matter how fast the lie is, the truth will always catch it.

Personally I am glad he ducked out of the ceremony today.  Just wish he would fuck off from all the ceremonies.  My grandfather didn't fight at Vimy and Paschendale to have the likes of him dishonoring what they and their US allies fought for. Orange Turd will probably spend the 2 mins silence checking his twitter feed and tweeting some ignorant garbage.

Stay tuned. Whatever conspiracy theory they are working on to explain his absence isn't ready yet.

Poor Donnie. It sounds like his bone spurs were acting up again. 

Too bad the real heros lived and fought in the mud and trenches, and were gassed for the likes of Private Bone Spurs. I bet they would have preferred to stay out of the rain, too.

[Audrey2]

Of course Donnie couldn't go out in the rain. You know what happened to the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz!

Funny you should say that.  We were actually saying this morning that he might have had some sort of assassination threat or something. And you know none of the soldiers there are gonna take a bullet for Trumpy, hence the,"oh, oops I totally forgot to pack my umbrella, guess I can't go, " excuse.

Yeah I can see your point.  Donnie and his groupies shit and piss on the graves of every American soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice for their nation.  But at the same time can you imagine the amount of screaming fuck face and his groupies - like Rush, Sean Hannity, or Alex Jones - would be doing if a Mrs. Clinton was in officee and had to call off today's visit to the cemetery for an actual, legitimate reason.  Hell, she could go and they'd bitch about her being there.

Sweet Rufus! Presidential Medal of Freedom to the highest bidder.

Wife of GOP megadonor to receive Presidential Medal of Freedom

Quote

President Donald Trump is set to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation’s highest civilian honor — to the wife of one of the Republican Party’s most prominent patrons, the White House announced Saturday.

Miriam Adelson will receive the medal along with six other “distinguished individuals” at a ceremony on Friday, the White House said. She is married to billionaire Las Vegas casino magnate and GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson, who joined Trump for a watch party at the White House residence on Tuesday evening to monitor the incoming returns from the 2018 midterm elections.

The Adelsons in recent months have emerged as the Republican Party’s biggest financial backers, contributing more than $113 million to GOP causes during the 2018 election cycle. Among those donations, the couple gave $25 million in July to the Senate Leadership Fund, $2 million in September to ESAFund, $3 million in July and September to the Republican Governors Association, and roughly $40 million between May and September to the Congressional Leadership Fund.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is bestowed upon those who have made “especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors,” according to the White House.

In its brief biography of Miriam Adelson, the White House described her as “a committed doctor, philanthropist, and humanitarian,” as well as “a committed member of the American Jewish community.”

The other 2018 honorees include Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), former football player and retired Minnesota Supreme Court justice Alan Page, Hall-of-Fame quarterback Roger Staubach, and posthumously singer Elvis Presley, baseball great Babe Ruth and former Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia.

So apparently he can play golf in the rain, just nothing else.

"Despite the “windy and wet conditions,” Graham tweeted that President Trump shot a 73."

He's such a precious petal, really.

You know if he'd been a conscientious objector to Vietnam, if he'd been upfront about it and prepared for the consequences I'd respect him. If he'd been upfront and fled to Canada I'd understand. If he'd legitimately failed the draft I'd respect him. But this attitude of "war is for shmucks. Dead guys don't get rich" while profiting off the backs of people he despises really annoys me. 

[fraurosena]

Golf?

Seriously though, I think he was pissed after Macron said Europe should build up its military to defend itself against the US.

His nose was put out of joint because he found out Macron doesn’t like him, and he angrily stamped his foot and yelled “Well, then I’m not coming to your lousy commemoration or your stupid dinner! Damn, I’m hungry after all. But I showed ‘em I’m a tough guy, so I think it’s ok if I get dessert. But I’m having two... no three scoops this time!”

How to troll the presidunce with one pic and a single word (united).

Putin showed up and greeted Trump and Melania warmly after giving Trump a thumbs up.  Yes, SRSLY, he gave Trump a thumbs up, like "Dude! You did it!".  

He's sitting in his hotel room stewing about something. Maybe he's trying to figure out which suit to wear on his date with Putin. 

[formergothardite]

Trump has not had a good week. The dems got control of the house, he is having to pretend he doesn't even know the guy he just put in a powerful position, he got asked some really tough questions and they wouldn't stop asking them, he has to travel and the other world leaders aren't sugar coating everything for him, he is getting criticized for refusing to go out in a light drizzle to honor America's heroes when all he really wanted to do is play golf and hang with Putin! Why is the world so MEAN to him?!!!!!

He is going to sulk and throw tantrums for the next two years. I'm sure someone is in charge of getting some large trucks for him to play in.

Look at all the WTF expressions on the faces around them.

This is such a great metaphor for America and the world right now.
