Earlier this month, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign contacted military officials about visiting Arlington National Cemetery to mark the third anniversary of the Islamic State bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members during the evacuation from Afghanistan.

 

Federal law prohibits election-related activities at military cemeteries, and Arlington is the most prestigious and sacred of all. Pentagon officials were deeply concerned about the former president turning the visit into a campaign stop, but they also didn’t want to block him from coming, according to Defense Department officials and internal messages reviewed by The Washington Post.

 

Officials said they wanted to respect the wishes of grieving family members who wanted Trump there, but at the same time were wary of Trump’s record of politicizing the military. So they laid out ground rules they hoped would wall off politics from the final resting place of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their nation.

Instead, they got sucked into exactly the kind of crisis they were hoping to avoid.

The Speaker does not have the right to waive Federal Law. House Oversight Commitee has requested the Army incident report by next week.

He has a host of advisers Jerry , you have WP and officials, of unknown political bias!

 

[jerrymahoney]

I'll wait to see if the Army complies with the House incident report request.

Given the 21 second campaign TikTok video taken 10 seconds at Section 60 it can be said the purpose in part was to provide political content for the Trump campaign

Josef Goebbels, the Nazi propagandist who championed the 'big lie,' famously used the tactic of blaming others for what you yourself are guilty of.

Similarly, Trump has sought to deflect responsibility for the disastrous 2021 Afghan withdrawal and distance himself from his past controversies with military families. By shifting blame, Trump attempts to rewrite history and avoid accountability for his actions.
 

Trump's presidency, driven by his psychopathic narcissism, was marked by a troubling lack of empathy, particularly in his disrespect towards Gold Star families and the military.

He suggested that Gold Star families were responsible for his COVID-19 infection and called fallen soldiers 'losers' and 'suckers.'

He repeatedly insulted military heroes like John McCain, criticized the Khan family after their son’s death in Iraq, and dismissed top generals as "dopes and babies."

His refusal to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery and his attacks on decorated veterans like Admiral William McRaven and Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman further exemplify his disdain for those who served.

Even his recent disrespectful rhetoric about the Medal of Honor underscores a deeply troubling pattern of behavior unworthy of any future Commander-in-Chief.

Originality is something lacking in MagaWorld, which only seems to echo the Master's and Fox's rhetoric.

Nevertheless, Hitler seems to still be Trump's poster boy, 

'In the past, he's actually acknowledged owning a copy of the book' (Mein Kampf).

Trump isn't in law enforcement. He's a real estate conman and reality tv show actor.

Do really know so little about the duties of the President of the United States? 

 

The President has a constitutional requirement to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed." which makes him the top-ranking law enforcer in the country. 

 

Remember, the Attorney General is appointed by, reports to, and serves at the pleasure of the President. 

 

You seem extremely intelligent and well informed, I'm surprised you did not know that. 

[Lacessit]

I guess this is the counter-narrative to Trump and his crew having no respect for the law, or decency.

Funny how my recent posts about Hitler and Goebbels' propaganda have generated so much hype with so few words—and so many illogical fallacies:

• Red Herring: By shifting the focus to the general practice of reading "Mein Kampf" for educational purposes, you divert attention from the specific concern about Trump's use of the text and its implications. This red herring distracts from the original criticism regarding Trump’s references to Hitler and how they may reflect on his political stance.

• False Equivalence: Your argument implies that because it is reasonable for leaders and politically interested individuals to read "Mein Kampf" for educational purposes, it is equally reasonable to overlook the potential implications of Trump's acknowledgment of owning a copy. This creates a false equivalence between the academic study of historical texts and the potential endorsement or association with problematic ideologies.

• Appeal to Tradition: The response suggests that it makes sense for leaders and politically interested individuals to read "Mein Kampf" as if it’s a standard practice. This appeal to tradition assumes that because something has been done or accepted in the past, it is inherently justified or acceptable, without addressing the specific concerns about how Trump’s use of the text might be perceived.

• Straw Man: By framing the argument as whether it makes sense for anyone to read "Mein Kampf," you might be misrepresenting the original critique, which is more about the potential implications of Trump's references rather than the general practice of reading historical texts.

You try to weaken the argument by shifting the focus and failing to address the specific concerns raised about Trump’s use of the text.

[Silencer]

Let's see. Trump has...called former President George Bush (WW2) and former Sen. McCain (Vietnam) "losers" for being shot down. He called those who fought on D-Day "suckers" for participating in a war that had no personal gain for them and "losers" for being killed. Then he criticized Gen. Milley for having a wounded veteran sing the national anthem at his ceremony to become Chief of the Joint Chiefs asking "why would you have someone like that" at your ceremony. Lastly he avoided the cemetery (on right, it was the weather!) in Normandy (filled with losers) and avoided a photo with an soldier amputee. Tell me again how proud and respectful Trump is to soldiers and veterans? The Arlington Cemetery is blown up but his campaign were told no photos to be used for political purposes.
