In my previous entry, I posted a clip that the Trump campaign is now using of Don's visit to Arlington, disgracing the memory of the dead and egregiously flouting the prohibition against pictures and videos being taken there.
In this segment, we see The Cowardly One deny any responsibility for. what took place:
Republicans against Trump
Wow. This is a new low, even for Trump.
“It Was a Setup,” “Could have been the parents” Trump tries to blame Gold Star families for the Arlington incident.
Like the 'good soldier' he is, J D Vance issued this stout defence of Trump while denigrating Kamal Harris:
Ah, but the feckless Vance was no match for this former Marine and widow whose husband died for his country:
🇺🇸USMC Veteran and Gold Star Widow Katherine Wyatt has a question for
@JDVance
about Trump's Arlington stunt:
"Instead of trying to appeal to the moral consciousness of Donald Trump because I don't believe he has any...Where is your integrity, Marine?
My good friend Dom, an astute observer and critical thinker to whom I sent the above clip, had this to say about Vance:
Vance is a pull-toy of Peter Thiel. He is beholden to him as Peter funded his company, and also advised Trump to select him as VP. He is whoever Peter tells him to be. Both men are his play toys devoid of any self respect. Vance is the perfect match for Donnie: the King of self loathing and insecurity.
The Silicon Broligarchs, are no longer hiding their alt right views. Musk, Thiel, Anderson, Altman, Zuckerberg, et. al, believe they own the future and believe they also own America. They have made it clear who they want in office whose mandate will be to remove and punish anyone in their way.
God save America.
To all of this, I have nothing to add, but you might be interested in an article from The Guardian in which writer Kevin Carroll offers his evaluation of Trump. Hint: it is not flattering.
I get the impression the Republicans are now doubling down on the "tribute to the fallen" framing, trying desperately to use the grieving parents to turn it around against Biden and Harris and make it about the whole Afghanistan withdrawal. Biden needs to strike back.
ReplyDeleteAs much as Trump wants to spin it, there is little doubt in the minds of most balanced people that he used the visit for his own partisan extolment, as per his usual modus operandi, Cathie. Whether Biden and Harris try to correct the record beyond their statement that they were not invited to the ceremony is debatable, as it might simply give more oxygen to that oaf and his minions. And from what I have seen on Twitter, vets are not fooled by his charade.
DeleteJohn McCain Jr., a serving member of the US Army of 17 years, today came out for Kamala Harris and slammed the Mango Mussolini.
ReplyDeleteThat is good news indeed, Mound. Thanks for the info.
