I was kind of disgusted seeing images of TSF at Arlington Cemetery placing a wreath...

I know Presidents normally do this but seeing five deferment bone spurs laying this wreath (like he gives a fu*k) didn't sit well with me...

almost everything. "I don't get it. What was in it for them?" He has no understanding of patriotism, self-sacrifice, and that the honored dead were not in it for themselves.

Maybe when you’re wired wrong, you just won’t see or understand how any normal person can feel about these things.

I don’t know how else to explain it. There’s J. S. W. - Just Something Wrong with him.

DEEPLY wrong.

They could have been smart and rich like me,...

but chose to die on the battlefield with their brethren.

My 250 foot tall/ $100 million dollar - Arch de' trDUMP will remind them how dignified rich men are remembered and loved. Not with some puny marble headstone at their war grave.

Says donOLD trDUMP.

...he desecrates the office of President of the United States every minute of every day. It is imperative that he is removed from office, ruined financially, and every greasy stain he has placed on our country scrubbed away. Restore the East Wing, the Rose Garden, and anything else he has touched.

He makes me sick. Everyone who enables him as well. Beyond disgust for me, it is now righteous anger.

CapnSteve sure speaks for me!

It IS INDEED righteous anger. I feel it, myself.

We need to get ready for 2028. First, of course, make sure WE have the majorities in BOTH the House and Senate, and we can get that done, THIS November. It would be helpful if we have more Democratic governors and mayors, too. But we ABSOLUTELY have to take the White House back, with the very next Presidential election (which is in 2028).

And we have to make sure we’ll STILL have those Democratic majorities for the Democrat who moves into the White House in January 2029. We’ll have a bigger clean-up job than even in our worst nightmares.

His goons shoved a female soldier out of the way who was trying to enforce the rules at Arlington, just so he could get his campaign photo-op. Too bad we don't have a picture of THAT!

It is sacrilegious that the orange asshole is allowed anywhere near the graves of the brave men and women who gave their lives for the democracy that he is so bent on destroying.
