StinkHole Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Stuart Another empty Cleve gotcha. Most would criticize Obama because we all know what that azzhole was all about. Trump has demonstrated over and over both by his words and actions that he is pro Armed Forces, pro troops, pro America...so if he wasn't there I'm not going to question it.

Westside Steve Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 It would have been a tempest in a teapot among a very small group on the right. It would not, however, have captured the imagination of the mainstream media. You know this. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasAg1969 Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Failing to go to that other American Cemetery in France when 100 years ago most of them died in mud and rain was bad enough on it's own. But not to go to Arlington on Veteran's Day to me is unforgivable for the 5 times deferred bone spur cowboy. I'm glad none of my WW I and WW II family veterans were alive to see the Coward of NY pull these stunts. Sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBrownsFan Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I don't know why Trump or Pence didn't go on the 12th but the official observance at Arlington took place the day before on the 11th as it always does. Since Trump was in Europe and Pence was making his way to Asia for whatever summit it is he's attending, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs represented the Administration at the ceremony.

He is doing right by veterans and active duty. in the grand scheme of things i would generally agree with u, but i cant get over the hypocrisy that this isnt a big deal but the colored boy didnt put his hand over his chest for the anthem or whatever...... if u were offended by michelle obama eating lobster (steven im looking at u) than i really dont undetstand why people, including veterans, arent at least a bit miffed that the guy evidently said "nahh im too tired, its drizzling out and im so emo bear today" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think its bad show to skip the tomb of the unknown. But at least he was sonewhere else honoring veterans ob that day. Trump was at home watching CNN.

As a former serviceman I always found it a self serving photo op for the president to pretend like he gave a $hit about veterans. There's been exactly two presidents in my life who legit cared about the troops and both were named Bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with most fake stories about rage including endless charges of racism, demands to remove team mascots Etc it's usually just the haters that get offended, or more likely pretend to be. Like I said in the case of Veterans Day being changed to Heroes Day by a local school my friend who served at gitmo wasn't outraged but his feelings were hurt. Most people are normal and don't pitch a bitch about minutiae. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
