On the other hand, there are Trumpers that believe anything Trump says. So there is that. The goal here at CNN is to attempt to make Harris look like she knows WTH she is doing. It will be scripted beyond belief. It is a poodle show at best. Her handlers know she is going to bungle every interview and debate. Walz will hold her hand at CNN. The debates they want now opening speech and notes. Scripted once again and Harris to have the questions before hand. It has been done before. The TDS and anyone but Trump group will bask in the wonderfulness of it all.  Just more good vibes campaigning. Horse and pony show.She is running for the most powerful position on earth but can only muster an interview with CNN and the "coach" in tow to keep her at least coherent. Sheesh.....

Thank you for visiting **at the request** of Gold Star families.
JD Vance tells Kamala to "go to hell" after her campaign criticized Trump for going to Arlington National Cemetery to honor the 13 service members who died in Afghanistan. "To have those 13 Americans lose their lives and not fire a single person is disgraceful. Kamala Harris is disgraceful." "Kamala Harris is so asleep at the wheel that she won't even do an investigation into what happened." "But she wants to yell at Donald Trump for showing up. She can go to hell." Why would someone link to some stupid British state run tabloid news article that actually went as far to make up a fairy tale stating photography was somehow against the law. Apparently nobody regurgitating the b.s. they so dutifully consume never bothered reading Arlington’s media policy or asked the gold star families who they invited to remember their fallen loved ones. I guess we know why some veterans and their families really dislike Harris and Walz Last edited by Rockstar; 08-28-24 at 03:44 PM. |

So what else can some in media do but quote anonymous sources, make up statements without proof and create fairy tale federal laws out of the blue. Last edited by Rockstar; 08-28-24 at 05:41 PM. |

"But the family members said they had given Trump's team prior approval to bring a campaign photographer and videographer to the event, "ensuring these sacred moments of remembrance were respectfully captured." Harris gave some halfhearted paragraph written by someone who has a brain. Biden mumbled something while in the Oval Office.

According to ballotpedia.org, there are 1,298 people from 49 political parties on the list of registered 2024 U.S. presidential candidates.
... Just sayin'.

Oh man your policy and politicians are more interesting and funny to follow than our own boring elected politicians and their policy.
It's gonna be a thrill night the night of the election on Nov. 5th Need Pringles and Coca cola 'cause it's going to be nail biting affair. Markus

Well, then I guess all this following must be a lie: First, the "fairy tale" laws & regulations are actually real... DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY - ARMY NATIONAL MILITARY CEMETERIES - ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY - ARLINGTON, VA 22211-5003 - SAAC-PAO 18 April 2022 - MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD SUBJECT: Media Policy for Army National Military Cemeteries https://www.arlingtoncemetery.mil/Po...dia-policy.pdf ...the main Arlington site from which the pdf was linked... ANC Media Policy -- https://www.arlingtoncemetery.mil/Media/Media-Policy ... now, this from a US source, since some here seem to think no one outside our country could ever possibly know or care about what we all do here... What Arlington National Cemetery rules say about politicizing grounds -- https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4...izing-grounds/ ...and some background on Section 60 at ANC... Arlington National CemeteryÂ’s Section 60 is a focus of controversy. What is the area? -- https://www.npr.org/2024/08/28/nx-s1...ns-altercation Only an idiot would seriously believe Trump's intent and attendance at the ceremony was a sincere and heartfelt gesture; and, only a fool would believe anything Trump does is not motivated by his own self interests and ego; if you believe Trump has a sincere, compassionate, and humane cell in his entire body, well, I've got some Trump casino stock to sell you... ...and, as far as Vance is concerned, he should watch his back; Trump is using him to speak publicly in a manner Trump's handlers are trying to avoid having the Giant Cheeto voicing; the chance that Vance will end up putting his foot in his mouth up to his knee is growing every day, and when he finally approaches Palin-esque levels, I expect Trump will experience a deep sense of 'buyer's remorse' and dump Vance's sorry ass to save his own oversized rump; coming soon, the Trump statement: "I really didn't know Vance, I mean we hardly ever had any contact; I just took him on as a favor to the GOP; but, he's gone now, and many people, very fine people are saying I am making the right decision..."... Careful, JD, the stiletto is coming soon to your back and Trump will wield it... The true indicator of where Trump's head is at (its usually up his ass) is the fact that he was photographed at his precious photo-op standing next to a grave stone smiling like the idiot he is and giving a 'thumbs up'; how braindead and senile does a person have to be not to realize acting like a sleazy political opportunist just does not fit in with the surroundings, a cemetery devoted to honoring and respecting the lives, service, and sacrifices of those who gave "the last full measure of devotion"; if Trump wants a photo-op, he'll get several when he loses the election and gets all those nice mug shots when he no longer has the shield of 'candidate' immunity... In contrast to the crassness that is Trump, perhaps it would be well to remember another former President who showed true sincerity, humanity, and compassion when honoring those who gave their lives for their country: Quote:
(Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, honoring Civil War dead) ...and Lincoln did that washout demanding a photo-op or turning the occasion into a campaign stop... <O>

Like so said, one president received an invitation from the gold star families to remember 13 fallen soldiers. Perhaps Harris, Walz and Biden should followed Lincoln’s example and at least show up, they could have left their cameras home. Still waiting on the Tik Tok videos and the link to the federal law prohibiting media coverage for the reasons stated in that British state run tabloid rag.

Something everyone should aspire too.
 Unfortunately that isnt always the case now is it? Court upholds bribery conviction of Chinese exec Patrick Ho linked to Hunter Biden Quote:

I would seriously suggest you engage brain before putting words down in writing... Quote:
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... Quote:
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... Quote:
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... <O>
