I would seriously suggest you engage brain before putting words down in writing...
Yeah, Trump received an invitation, however I really can't find any indication, other than the family that did invite him, that any of the other families were onboard with the idea; also, an invitation to attend is not an invitation to turn a respectful, somber occasion into a self serving campaign photo-op; the rules of the occasion and the rules of ANC were explicitly, and in writing, given to Trump's minions and they chose to ignore the actual laws and regulations in order to aggrandize their boss/ butt-buddy; nothing you have posted denies that Trump and his jackals are actually at fault...
Still clutching those pearls, Camille?
You and I both know, if Harris, Walz, and/or Biden showed up you and your fellow clutchers would be howling about how they were desecrating the ceremony and the vets memories by turning the occasion into a crass, insincere campaign photo -op; you'd howl loud and long with puffed-up faux indignity about the whole thing; the difference here is that your boy is the main offender and some of us, who do care about giving the fallen a dignity beyond mere campaign politics, are actually offended that an over-vain slob who has made little secret for his disdain towards the military (remember, Trump was forced to admit in court to embezzling funds from a veterans charity and paid $2 million dollars to keep the case from going to criminal charges), who has insulted and denigrated soldiers who actually fought (and some who have died) in combat while he traipsed around on his bone spurs, and who has never shown any sincere feeling toward their sacrifices, would have the unmitigated gall to try and stand there' acting "presidential" and making himself the focus of attention rather than the fallen and their families...
Harris, Biden, Walz, and Biden didn't attend and that is probably for the better; the focus should be on those in the earth and those who they left behind...
Wow, talk about dense; the actual link to the ANC Rules & Regulations is actually in my previous post and I even went to the effort of posting a 'domestic' link to a story further expanding on the issue (I didn't use Fox News because, well, I do actually appreciate the truth and a news source that paid $787 million to settle a lawsuit after it was caught in blatant reportage lies); don't you ever actually ever read the posts you are responding to or do you just knee-jerk respond with whatever pap you find on your right wing 'news' sites?; or, maybe, you are of the belief you can bluster and bulldoze your way over anyone who dares to espouse a view you don't subscribe to; well, bulldozer, you are not an irresistible force, but I am an immovable object...
One other thing I have wanted to bring up: you have long made it a practice to belittle and demean arguments, and those who make them, particularly in regards to a particular member who has been the object of your unwarranted spite; this is further egregious given that, unlike you, he actually posts factual links to reputable sites, not tripe like Joe Rogan or other YT bottom feeders and he makes an effort to keep the discourse civil; honestly, I have a great appreciation and admiration for the patience and forbearance of Buddahaid...
In addition, your dismissal of 'foreign' news sources is real childish; the members from outside the US who share the viewpoint of their respective lands are actually far more informative and interesting than the dreck you tend to post; I have very often used non-US news sources to balance out my research into issues because very often what they say gives fresh eyes beyond the vanned news (from all sides) we get here in the US; quite often I have found out details that the media here in the US, for whatever reason, choose not to follow; all of those who are posting from the UK, Denmark, Oz, or anywhere else, keep posting; we could all use a dose of the new here...
Well, I'm done with my rant; to those, other than Rockstar, that I may have offended with my rant, I humbly apologize for steeping outside the lines; to the Mods, I accept any brigging that may come...
<O>
EDIT: Actually, I should apologize to Rockstar; it isn't fair to engage in a battle of wits with some who is unarmed...
