God he is such a piece of garbage. Like I can usually dismiss his antics as selfish and stupid and just some morong that doesn’t think beyond his own needs and wants. But this is downright villainous. I hope he dies a horrible death and no one celebrates anything about him.
In case anyone was wondering, this is the bullshit perspective Republicans are jerking each other off with:
Harris was asked to be there by the Gold Star families and she refused. Her and Biden both refused. They are responsible for the casualties that occurred during that Afghanistan pullout, and they couldn’t face the families despite being asked to be there.
That should be the story.
But nah. Desperate media makes it about Trump taking pictures with the family who asked him to take pictures.
This is why no one trusts the media.
So, to sum up, “Poor Trumpie”, “desperate media”, “don’t trust ‘the media’”, somehow Biden and Harris’s fault, and no mention of the rules of the cemetery or assaulting the employee.
Well, it can’t be Mr. “I-don’t-know-anything-about-any-bad-things-and-take-all-credit-for-all-good-things” Trump’s fault now, can it? He’s absolutely immune, infallible, perfect and if reality doesn’t agree, then we just rewrite reality until it fits. Easy.
If i could afford it, id file on her behalf and dare him or his shitciples to do something
That she’s a woman makes it that much worse. Didn’t know that nugget before today. Bigots and sexists. All of them.
That she’s a woman makes it that much worse.
Why? An army professional were carrying out their duties, and as a result thereof got assaulted by representatives of the leading law and order candidate. The army professional chose not to press charges but still lives in fear of the law and order loving patriots affection for domestic terrorism.
I don’t see how the gender makes it worse.
While I see what you’re saying, it unfortunately does make it worse. As a woman in the military, she already has to put up with enough B.S. My wife retired from the navy over 10-years ago, and still works for the DOD. She still sees and puts up with the sexism and misogyny. For sure, it’s less than when she first joined back in the 90s, but it’s still enough to get under your skin. Add to that the genuine, and well-founded, fear this woman feels at the prospect of being a target for domestic terrorists her own country is too scared to call out for fear of appearing to be “politically slanted,” and it absolutely does make it worse.
I agree with you completely. But she wasnt military. She was an employee of ANC.
MAGA has a special hate in it’s heart for women. They’re always treated as property.
where meme?
The American legal system is the meme.
Meme doesn’t always mean “funny haha picture”
She should’ve filed charges because either way his cult followers are gonna go after her. 😒
The majority of decent Americans are not prone to violence but this crap is building up outrage among Democrats, Independents and conservative Republicans to a point where all hell is about to bust out.
Doesn’t/ won’t matter if the Dems don’t go out and vote. Remember the bulkshit that was 2016. Complacency started it all.
This is what I’m afraid of. I just don’t see us all holding hands across the nation any time soon.
Anyway, we tried that once and failed.
Damn… I can hear the Hands Across America song now…

It was a pretty silly idea overall. Nice intent, I guess, but seriously, who was supposed to be standing around in the middle of nowhere in New Mexico and Arizona?
They were even saying that at the time. No one is going to stand in the desert in Arizona at the end of spring.
My family didn’t participate. Not sure what my parents’ reason or reasons were.
My family did, I’m 100% sure it was my dads doing as it doesn’t seem like something mom would do.
I was little, i just remember driving to a nearby town and standing on the side of a road holding hands with someone for a few minutes and then leaving lol.
I would have been 9 years old at the time. If my parents made me hold hands with a stranger, I would have felt really uncomfortable.
I would’ve been 6; my parents probably sandwiched us kids between them. It was the 80s though, I might’ve been besties with a stranger if they said had an NES and Super Mario Brothers at home lol.
Exactly. This was the “initiative” to which I was referring. We’re further from that than any other time in my life. I just keep wondering when the breaking point is going to be.
No sympathy.
How many millions live in fear because of the entity she’s pledged herself too? Army employee gets what she deserves imo
I understand why the employee is not pressing charges. It’s a matter of their and their family’s safety. Ok.
But what I don’t understand is that if using the cemetery for political purposes is against the law, and there are obviously many photos released and used in Trump’s campaign material, why not use that evidence to charge Trump¥, the campaign, and the photographers?
¥ Sadly even if they tried to arrest Trump, I’m sure it wouldn’t stick anyway because apparently he gets away with everything.
Why not arrest ANY of the 50 or so people. Just start arresting the poorest person in the photo (money means no consequences) and then every day the next and so on.
I think it would super interesting.
Because Trump is rich and influential and it’s long past the time we should stop pretending the law actually applies to everyone.
Laws and rules are for regular people, if you are rich or famous or influential enough, laws do not apply to you
Law prohibits political campaign or election related activities at the cemetery, not photography in general. If their photographs are not used by their campaign officials and trump can reasonably articulate a reason to have been there aside from campaigning, which would be pretty easy, it does not seem there would be any grounds against him. It seems the news reporting on the incident is the primary coverage of the visit.
what is the correct amount of nationalism you have to believe for any of this to matter to you?
Can’t believe this would happen to a whistleblower in a country as free and independent as the United States of America.
Are we sure this isn’t just far left propaganda?
I think in today’s timeline you have to use the /s even for a ridiculous statement like this
It’s a federal crime to put your hands on a federal employee, the employee doesn’t have to be named or anything the federal government can pursue it in the interest of justice in her stead.
Unfortunately he’d just argue for the 6th, of having the right to face your accuser/witnesses in any criminal case. And once he knows the accuser’s name, he’ll plaster her info all over his network, even with the ever useful gag-order.
They have witnesses and their accuser is the federal government like felony murder.
Ed: plaster a witness and victim that’s a government employee? No no, he can get away with quite a bit but middle employees will never let this shit stand.
but middle employee employees will never let this shit stand.
He said, seemingly unaware of the last decade of American politics.
When in the last decade did a politician assault a government employee on camera then lie and blame it on them? I seem to forget that one.
Remember that time a guy body slammed a reporter?
inb4 “a reporter isn’t a government employee!”
These clowns are never held accountable, haven’t we all figured that out yet? Standards of conduct and morals are only effective when your own followers have them.
edit: just wait until you learn about the unitary executive theory, a vast number of “conservatives” believe the president should have the power to just fire the Arlington employee and replace them with someone loyal to the president.
You mean the time that guy got convicted of assault on someone who wasn’t a government employee? Yes, yes I do.
They’ve been escalating rhetoric against various govt agencies and employees of them for years, it’s only going to get worse.
We don’t even need to argue it though, we can wait and see if this turns any MAGAts away from Trump or if Steven Cheung, the staffer that did the shoving, is charged.
I wish “middle employees” had the time or could afford to give a shit and that this would make a difference, I’m not that optimistic.
Hasn’t he gone after judges?
People don’t have sympathy for judges, they don’t generally love government workers but you don’t fuck with workers people can actually relate to.
The accuser can be the US Government or what ever specific agency she works for.
Then he’ll make the argument that it’s all made up if they don’t reveal the victim.
We’re talking about a guy that tries to make any, and everything a legal loophole. It’s one of the reasons his cases take so much time for the prosecution to build their cases
Or Dark Brandon could just “disappear” the orange bastard in a Supreme Court-protected “official act.”
One or the other. 🤷🏼♂️
This is where we are today with Trump’s America.
I thought we were currently living in Biden’s America. Is Trump president right now?
While not currently in an official position of power, Trump has become an integral part of American politics.
Are democrats the ones sending death threats to judges, prosecutors, jury members, children who were raped on Epstein’s Island and now Army attendants? Hell, the parents of of the kids who were murdered at Sandy Hook had to deal with death threats and people accusing them of being crisis actors for a decade thanks to fuckers like Alex Jones.
It’s telling that you found the need to defend this type of activity. It seems… unamerican. Cowardly.
Might be time for a long look in the mirror and ask yourself where you went wrong. You can still turn back.
Is this who you really want to be?
I was just asking a question about wording chill
Profoundly disappointed but also understanding. I just have to hope there are enough people in their path who are willing to throw down and get difficult.
