The Military Times article:
www.militarytimes.com/.../


Angles that I will never take seriously from Trump:
-Pro-military: famously dodged the draft in Vietnam; disrespected ACTUAL war hero John McCain in the most absurd way possible, “I prefer war heroes who WEREN’T captured”; is at very least rumored to have made the “suckers and losers” comment about fallen soldiers, which tracks with other comments he’s made; and most recently suggested the Medal Of Freedom is better than the Medal Of Honor, because you don’t have to get shot and maybe killed for it, you’re “healthy and beautiful” for the Medal Of Freedom🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
- Border Security: a bi-partisan bill was drawn up and approved that would have added additional border agents and fentanyl detection technology, no omnibus bullshit or even any comprehensive immigration policy reform, and Trump --while not even in office— told the Republicans to dead it, so he could still run on in it as being a prominent problem and supposed failure of the Biden/Harris administration. So this super-urgent, scream-about-it-from-the-rooftops and inject-it-into-any-non-relevant-conversation issue was SO serious that it needed to be handled immediately….. now that can wait til 2025? Give me a fuckin’ break, bro😂😂😂 Anything the right ever claims about the border will forever ring hollow with me.
Trans-women in sports: You don’t care about women’s sports, shut the fuck up🙄 You don’t like trans people, you get rightfully ostracized if you give them shit for just existing and living their lives publicly, so the ONE legitimate reason you can arguably take issue with, they LEAN INTO IT, as if it’s some widespread problem happening everywhere. Let’s name trans-women athletes…. I’ll go first: Lia Thomas. Who’s next? Anyone? Anyone? Hello? Is this thing on? You can’t give me a second name? NOBODY? Weird…. It’s ALMOST as if it’s barely happening at all, and people are just making up stories to generate transphobic outrage….🤔 No, no, I’m being cynical. Redneck dudes who constantly assert how alpha they are probably just genuine, passionate stewards of female athletics, so much so that it’s a Top 5, maybe Top 3 political issue for them.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Thanks for MHO :)
If it were anyone else, it'd be a huge deal but the media's so tired of reporting on his insults of the troops and lack of basic human decency that this isn't getting the attention it deserves. I guess since we already know how disgusting he is, we've become numb to a lot of it.
Ah breaking monument rules, battery and disrespecting dead soldiers. Party of law and order lol

*waits to see which entitled*
32 CFR § 553.32. That law says the executive director of the Army National Military Cemeteries shall “ensure the sanctity of public and private memorial and ceremonial events.”
“All memorial services and ceremonies within Army National Military Cemeteries, other than official ceremonies, shall be purely memorial in purpose,” it says.
It adds: “Memorial services and ceremonies at Army National Military Cemeteries will not include partisan political activities.”
Go ahead and nit pick but at least he was there. Biden and Harris were supposed to be there but they didn't show up. Apparently, Biden is on vacation again and who knows what Harris is doing right now.
These were the people who died during the botched Kabul extraction. Even if Biden and Harris felt nothing for the people who were killed, they should at least pretend to care but they don't. In fact, Biden was caught looking at his watch during one of the ceremonies he did attend, which is a far bigger offense than posing with a thumbs up in my opinion.
@goaded "So breaking the law and assault are OK if you're a Republican, got it."
You know I didn't say that, stop being disingenuous. Also none of that shit was proven because he wasn't tried through a court of law. They were through civil courts where his guilt was assumed and the process was deciding the punishment. I don't care how much you hate his guts, his constitutional rights doesn't vanish just because you don't like him. I have always said the same about Biden and Tara Reede, his assault against her was alleged and I won't say I know for sure he did it until evidence is forthcoming but since he is a democrat, I am not holding my breath.
"Trump let 5000 Taliban fighters out of prison and negotiated the withdrawal without the Afghan government before he left office."
May I see your source?
LMAO The political actions at the cemetary were illegal. I wasn't thinking of the 5 grand juries that saw fit to indict Trump for crimes. (And, yes, there was a trial and he was found guilty of all 34 counts.)
www.snopes.com/.../
Before you say something stupid about Snopes, check their sources.
@goaded
>LMAO The political actions at the cemetary were illegal
He attended a ceremony, which you don't need to be running for office to do, and got a photo op with the family of one of the fallen soldiers. It is not like he was holding a rally there.
>I wasn't thinking of the 5 grand juries that saw fit to indict Trump for crimes. (And, yes, there was a trial and he was found guilty of all 34 counts.)
What is he guilty of? I keep hearing people saying that he is a felon but what was the felony? The entire purpose of the trial was to determine what crime he was supposedly hiding behind the falsified business documents and that was a violation of the sixth amendment where the accused has the right "to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation."
That trial was not legitimate at all based on that alone.
The Taliban fighters thing was a part of a peace deal though I don't see anywhere in the Snopes article that the Afghan government was not involved. I love how they compared it to Biden exchanging a Russian arms dealer for a basketball player who broke the law in Russia and was facing prison, as if the two situations are anything alike.
>Why do you think there wasn't anything after one or two years?
There was actually. In fact, it was at one of those events where Biden was caught looking at his watch. www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-check-watch-13/
@Snakeyes7.
www.politifact.com/.../?utm_source=perplexity
The Trump administration, in a 2020 agreement with the Taliban, negotiated the release of up to 5,000 Taliban prisoners held by the Afghan government. This was part of a peace deal aimed at facilitating U. S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan and initiating peace talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government.
While the Afghan government, led by President Ashraf Ghani, was initially resistant to the prisoner release, it eventually complied, reportedly under pressure from the Trump administration. The release was seen as a controversial but necessary step to reduce violence and enable direct negotiations.
Former President Trump has denied responsibility for the release, blaming the Afghan government instead, despite the agreement being part of his administration's peace strategy. Critics have pointed out the inconsistency in the reactions to this release compared to other prisoner swaps, such as the Biden administration's exchange involving Brittney Griner.
"There was actually" No, there wasn't. What you're referring to was at an air force base, not the cemetery, and not an anniversary.
Trump was having pictures and video taken in a place where it's illegal, no matter who you are. He was doing it to use in his campaign, as you can see by Fox's initial praise of the incident, until it became clear that it was illegal and disrespectful and that his people assaulted an official.
@goaded Immediately after the US left it's bases in Afghanistan the former Afghan leaders were having dinner with the Taliban leaders & not in danger. Why? Because they are all related by blood and marriage. They were always working together & playing the suckers in the west for funding. So it didn't really matter who Trump talked to.
@goaded Traitor to what? I didn't call him a traitor. I just said he is in bed with the Taliban. From his perspective they are and have always been his Afghan brothers. Westerners were too stupid to stop and think about what was really going on OR were in on taking trillions of dollars worth of cash and laundering it.
@goaded Oh it's illegal is it? John McCain did a political campaign ad in 2000 that featured Arlington. You know what happened to him? Clearly fuck all. You guys are just giving Trump shit over this because he is Trump.
www.snopes.com/.../
What's more, the Gold Star families were the ones who invited him to come and are defending him from the accusations from the Harris Administration. Biden and Harris were also invited but they turned it down. They didn't even have to take any photos or videos, they just didn't care.
Yes, it's illegal, then and now. The differences are that McCain's team didn't assault a staffer trying to stop them breaking the law, and that McCain apologised and removed the offending footage from his ad.
Not to mention McCain actually served, in wartime.
Trump's getting shit because he and his entourage are shit. Just like the documents, if he'd just apologised and followed the law, it would have been a very short story. But he can't do that, can he?
There was no official event, Harris and Biden were not invited, it was all a ratf*ck by Trump's campaign, and you're playing along.
And this is not how you "honor their sacrifice".
@goaded I guess you'd have to take that up with the Gold Star families, because they seem adamant that he did nothing wrong here. Not only were they there, they invited him to honor beloved family members who were killed in battle. I doubt they would mess around with that kind of thing.
The thing about McCain was that I am not sure if he was even invited there, he just shot for an ad there, Trump was. I don't think the Gold Star families would formally invite him in violation of the law so maybe that is an exception.
>Not to mention McCain actually served, in wartime.
Why would that matter? If he committed a crime, he committed a crime and no one is above the law right?
@goaded >Trump's getting shit because he and his entourage are shit.
Trump is getting shit because he is a dissenter above all else and governments who seek ultimate power also seek to make an example of the dissenters with the biggest voices in hopes that the rest of them will fall in line.
That's why the government is trying to take Trump, Alex Jones, anyone even remotely associated with J6 (people who weren't even there got over 20 years and that was after spending years in jail with no charge nor trial. Meanwhile very few people, if any, were even charged for the BLM riots despite causing at least two billion dollars worth of property damage. The riots weren't even considered "super spreader events" but church services, Trump rallies and simple protests begging for their town to be reopened were.), Elon Musk, Pavel Durov, Chris Pavlovski or any other defenders of personal freedom out. Speaking freely is clearly a threat to the establishment and the very fact that this is the case is more than enough of a reason that it is too powerful.
I am sure you don't need to be reminded of this, being against Nazism and all, but Hitler did the same exact thing. When Hitler took over Poland he initiated an operation called Intelligenzaktion, where anyone who has the brains and guts to tell him to pound sand were publicly executed by firing squad. We obviously aren't there yet but all of this is a sign that this is coming. Hell, since we never got an official story about the Trump assassination attempt, who is to say that the government hasn't started to consider this?
@goaded >Just like the documents, if he'd just apologised and followed the law, it would have been a very short story. But he can't do that, can he?
It is funny that you mentioned that because a couple months ago, a new development revealed that the photos taken during the raid might have been props. If this is true, it doesn't sound all that surprising to me since even run-of-the-mill cops do this all the time, most commonly with drugs.
dailycaller.com/.../
>There was no official event, Harris and Biden were not invited, it was all a ratf*ck by Trump's campaign, and you're playing along. And this is not how you "honor their sacrifice".
Again, take that up with those families because they seem to disagree with you there.
Were the Gold Star families celebrating, like Trump said they were?
As far as I can see, McCain, war hero, was walking through thousands of anonymous gravestones, not draft dodger blaming his political opponent for putting them there. You, I suppose, can't see any moral difference.
TWO of Trump's entourage assaulted an official trying to enforce the law that had been explained to them. Trump lied when he said it didn't happen, and insulted the assaultee, to boot. They're all shit.
I'll skip the insane rant about Jan 6 and BLM (where thousands were indicted).
"It is funny that you mentioned that because a couple months ago, a new development revealed that the photos taken during the raid might have been props. If this is true..."
It's not. Simple as. They took along classified binders as placeholders for any classified documents they found. They couldn't photograph the actual documents, obviously, but it was important to record their locations (Trump's lawyers tried to use the location of particular documents as a defence). If you spend two minutes looking for the facts you would have found that out.
">There was no official event, Harris and Biden were not invited, it was all a ratf*ck by Trump's campaign, and you're playing along. And this is not how you "honor their sacrifice".

Really? So a private family can create an official event, now? And you really believe Biden and Harris were invited?
Biden and Harris were not supposed to be there. They were never scheduled to be there.
Trump admin ordered the evacuation and planned it with the military.
Should Biden had been checking his watch multiple times when the 13 fallen soldiers from Abbey gate terror attack (and the Afghanistan pull out debacle was completely his idea and his fault?).
Should Kamala Harris be laughing about the crisis when asked about it in 2021?
https://www.youtube.com/embed/ImmGRBkYsikWhataboutism... Again...
The gold star families INVITED Trump to this abbey gate memorial. Where was Kamala?
Only some of them did. Some other families are LIVID
Was it a fist fight, , ? Or was Trump packing heat? Sounds pretty suspicious to me. He showed up at the ceremony honoring the service men and women who died in Afghanistan. Where was Joe Biden? Oh yeah, he was on another vacation on the taxpayers dime. Where was Commie Kamala? She is cramming for the debate.
@virgo2267 I call them as I see them
@virgo2267 My brother in Christ, she is advocating for price controls which is what communists have done since the day communists have taken power anywhere in the world. If there is any giveaway that she is a communist, that is it.
Not to mention that she bragged about wanting to steal patents away from businesses and give them to the government when she ran for president in 2019.
@Snakeyes7 She's advocating for laws to stop price gouging, and split up monopolies.
@goaded The food industry is not the one that is price gouging because they actually have competitors. It is not like you have no choice to get McDonald's. You can go eat at Wendy's, go to an actual restaurant, or make the food yourself.
If you look at their numbers, their net profits are in the single digit percentile. It is because things like the cost of goods are skyrocketing due to things like high fuel prices and in some places like California, the raising of the minimum wage forcing them to either lay off their workers or raise prices to make up the loss of money going to the employees.
If she wants to split up monopolies, first of all why isn't she doing this now? Sure there are lawsuits involving the tech giants like Google and Facebook but is she taking part of that? I don't think so because what these tech monopolies have been caught doing have been nothing but helpful to the democrats. Google trying to memory-hole the assassination attempt, trying to make Youtube the top search option if not the only option, etc. Zuckerborg openly admitting that the FBI was involved in the censorship of stories that talk about Biden threatening to withhold loan guarantees with Ukraine if the prosecutor, who was investigating Burisma, isn't fired. Oh yeah and they seem to be pretty buddy-buddy with Big Pharma during the pandemic like making corporations like Pfizer immune to lawsuits as if they were expecting them to do something worth suing them for.
What is stopping her from going to Biden and saying "I want to show the American people that I practice what I preach. Let's fight against price gouging and split up those monopolies and show them that I am able to give them what they want?" If Biden said no, when is she going to address that?
@Snakeyes7 Competition? Four giants control 80% of meat processing. That's where McDonalds, Wendy's, and probably you get your meat from.
Paying farm workers a decent wage just means they've got money to spend, and a one-off increase in prices can't justify continuous inflation.
Food company profit increases since inflation peaked:
Cheesecake Factory +471%
Cal-Maine +268%
Jack In The Box +213%
Chipotle +110%
Starbucks +47%
Sysco +43%
How much did they collectively spend on stock buybacks? Over $10 billion.
They're all using inflation as a cover.
@Snakeyes7 Why aren't they breaking up monopolies?
The Biden-Harris admin has taken anti-trust action against:
-Amazon
-Apple
-Google
-Microsoft
-Meta
-Kroger
-JetBlue
-Live Nation/Ticketmaster
-Nvidia
-OpenAI
-RealPage
Ok. Now again without whataboutism.
Drug patents from COVID recalcitrance to comply with existing law when CDC declares an epidemic. It was already law that many POTUS have employed. @Snakeyes7.
She has never advocated for price controls. Ever. Harris' plan is not a direct implementation of price controls but rather a federal measure to prevent excessive price hikes during emergencies, similar to existing state laws already in place. The proposal has sparked debate, with some viewing it as a necessary consumer protection measure.
@Snakeyes7 Rumble, Parler and other sites that do not censor conservatives are being attacked by the government on a daily basis. The rest that are in the tank for democrats get a pass.
@DrPepper12 This "price gouging" is a supply and demand thing. If the demand rises, which in emergencies it definitely will, the price must rise otherwise the supply will run out fast and people will more likely buy in bulk, leaving very little left for more people.
If scarcity isn't a problem then no one would bother with pricing at all.
What people are scared of is that how Harris describes as "price gouging" will not take things like inflation or supply chain issues or, depending on the location, wage laws into account.
@goaded Are you sure this has nothing to do with those meat plants being mysteriously burned down all within February through April of 2022? I doubt you can recover from that easily.
Do any of these percentages actually take inflation into account or is this just going on numbers alone? Also when did inflation peak because that could be years ago and just because it was at its peak, doesn't mean that it was still inflation before and after.
@exitseven Exactly. The "build your own twitter if you don't like it" crowd are the very same people who cheered when AWS pulled the plug on Parler. Thankfully, Rumble made their own cloud so AWS can't touch them and have told several governments to fuck off when they demand them to censor dissenting speech, something that governments should be told more often.
@Snakeyes7 You should stop listening to Tucker Carlson. He lies for a living (that was literally his defence in court).
www.truthorfiction.com/.../
www.snopes.com/fact-check/food-processing-plant/
So the truth is that is was the Gold Star familes that requested to ha e thir picture taken with the President. It was not a photo of. The families also voiced their distain for Harris and Biden because it was the two if them that caused this debacle and neither ine of them ebever reached out to any of the families. Only President Trump showed respect for their sacrifice
@goaded I don't watch Carlson as I never developed an interest in him because i never had any interest in using cable tv. I also do not have an X account because for whatever reason it never accepted my email and I have been trying since 2016. I heard of this from other people.
Even if there are so many processing plants, the fact that 19 of them have mysteriously burned down within a span of a couple months is strange, unless this is a normal amount of times food processing plants burning down, which realistically should be in the single digits at worst as you'd think that places like this would have methods of preventing this sort of thing.
@Snakeyes7 You didn't click the links, then.
"Most importantly, this "trend" is not new. When we searched for news stories about fires at food processing plants in 2021, 2020, and 2019, we found that such fires are relatively commonplace, and that there has not been any conspiracy-worthy upticks."
"the very first item shown in the above-displayed image involved a building that had been abandoned for years, not an active food processing facility."
"a fire at a butcher shop, not a large food processing facility."
It turns out that President Trump was invited by the Gold Star families. Many were recorded how happy they were that he accepted and how angry they were that Biden or Harris were just too busy to take the time to express their condolences. The families were the ones that requested to get some photos with the former President.
If the families of the fallen THERE at the time didn't care then why should I.
The families of the surrounding graves in the images ARE LIVID. Only one family gave "permission" for an illegal act which I'm sure you realize you can't grant permission for a crime.
@DrPepper12 And if the media talked to the families of the soldiers who got killed during Biden's poorly planned pull out from Afghanistan, I might care about these families they chose to interview. Interesting how the system picks & chooses what to report.
Trump planned and ordered the pull out since his plan to host the Taliban at camp David on 9 11 didn't exactly work out... Wonder why? 🤔
It is a violation of federal law to campaign in Arlington cemetery.
But his supporters don't care. They agree with him that those are all losers.
Typical Trump, the misogynist pig. His supporters should be ashamed of themselves for supporting someone so vile.
Is that what Alex Jones said when you were buying your tactical taint underwear and limp dick vitamins?
@DrPepper12 Bro, I have never watched/listened to even one Alex Jones show. Although I have nothing against him either. 2. No clue what "tactical taint underwear' is. 3. Never had "limp dick vitamins" or drugs but you sound familiar with them.
Well, at this point, I don't really need more evidences to get the general idea of the trump character design so... lol
Trump should not even be allowed on the grounds of military cemetaries.
@exitseven He has been repeatedly disrespectful and disdainful toward military personnel and their relatives.
Name one time that that has happened. The suckered and lisers story has been debunked by both the Secret service and by people who were present. Yhis so called dust up with a cemetery attendant is just another lie by the democrats. They cannot run on their dismal record and need to distract people from the fact that these 13 service men and women are dead due to the incompetence of Biden and Harris who was the last person in the room.
@exitseven Sure - everything bad Trump has done and said is all faked, right? People that have seen and heard these things are all lying, right? The courts that have convicted him are all corrupt, right?
All because Trump says so, right?
The only people who say this are democrat and they are liars. All you hear on CNN is how Trump is a threat to democracy and he is a racist and a Nazi. When asked for specifics that conveniently change the subject to something else that they make up.
Meanwhile we have witnessed the flooding of America with over 10 million illegal aliens and our economy is in the dumpster. The democrats just feed fake data but all people have to do is look at the state of their finances at the end of the month to figure out the truth.
Harris wants to spend more money on illegal aliens than on citizens. And that is a fact that you won't see on NBC.
@exitseven You believe lies. You cannot be reasoned with regarding this.
Harris wants to give illegal aliens $25,000 dollars to buy a house. Meanwhile military vets are sleeping in the streets. She wants to give black people reparations. She believes that printing more money fixes inflation and greedy storekeepers are the real cause of inflation. You can't make this stuff up.
@exitseven Stop the whatabout crap please.
@exitseven actually he planned and ordered the withdrawal. Same as he planned on hosting the Taliban at camp David on 9/11. He's a sick fuck.
@DrPepper12 he planned a withdrawal based on milestones. We were not ready and certainly Trumps advisors would not have removed the military first.
Using the dead for one's own propaganda.
Well done, hypocrite :)
I'm going to let it up to the family to decide weather it was appropriate or not, they are the one's who invited Trump, so it's up to them to decide. I noticed two of the people were doing a love hand sign, I could be wrong, but I suspect, Trump is unable to do a love hand sign, so did a thumbs instead, again, it's up to the family who invited Trump to decide if it was appropriate or not.
It's illegal
Other graves in pix were NOT approved by families
So what? People do illegal stuff all the time, where is your outrage over them? Anyone who's said they've never done anything illegal are lying.
Whataboutism, projection and deflection!! The MAGA trifecta!!
Remember unfortunately AI is taking over, so this could easily be a fake picture to frame Trump as someone he isn’t. This includes the articles you read about his arguments. I’m not believing it, nothing against you. I wish they would bury AI.
It is true that all pictures that make republicans look bad are absolutely AI. The ones making democrats look bad are absolutely legit though.
It was real.. and was VERIFIED.
You have GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!! You will full ignorant conspiracists are a GRAVE DANGER to our nation! SMDH
Stop hiding and be like every other simp on here who expresses their views
Well, they’re all smiling and one lady is doing a rock and roll sign with her hand. I don’t see anything wrong with it.
It's illegal to take photos there
Well then I guess you’ll have to arrest the family too. Besides, all of those families wanted Trump there.
Not all. Some. Families of some gravestones captured in pix are LIVID
What about him is conventional? Lol, I can’t name one thing
Bragging about the size of his little micro Cheeto between his legs... All guys do that... Right? 😂😂😂
At least he's not checking the time, wanting to get out of there.
You're not a vet, we're happy at least one former president bothered to show up.

@legalboxers how many years did you serve? I served 6...
The thumbs up 👍 is giving credit and compliment to the family for their togetherness in honor of their lost loved one. No need to lambast the moment.
It's the same thumbs up he was giving when he barged into half naked teens at Ms teen USA pageants. Your cognitive dissonance is only out done by your capacity to tounge bathe his taint begging for more "Lemon Kool Aid".
@DrPepper12
You’re clearly brainwashed and biased.
He has 👍🏻 many times in situations it's inappropriate for.
you guys are so desperate.
Agreed. MAGA just can't help themselves!
Trump was invited by those families and both Biden and Camela have taken photo ops in Arlington. You need another fake scandal.
Yes at designated places, not where it's banned!!!
Lmao. Banned. Again, these little pony tricks are showing your desperation.
It's OK.
It's illegal
