Shameful absence: While President Trump, VP Vance, First Lady Melania, and several GOP lawmakers stood solemnly to honor the six fallen soldiers at Dover AFB on March 7, not a single Dem rep or leader showed up for the dignified transfer. No show disrespects America's heroes.

Just another instance of a party that has lost touch with America. First, 53 radical house dems a no vote for condemning Iran as the state sponsor of terror. They sit down for standing up for Americans at the State of the Union and now this.

The story is about a APT video

I care ,the USA cares. I don't expect a international member to understand right & wrong in my country's tradition of honoring the ultimate sacrifice, it is a deeply embedded part of American culture to remember the fallen who have made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom,something the once patriotic Dems have forgotten about apparently .

Well the ignoramus (trump) who called them "suckers and losers" turned up in a baseball cap.........that says much about what he really thinks of these fallen soldiers, so don't be fooled.

Turning up wearing a political campaign baseball cap was of course the high of ‘respect for our fallen’.

Do Magas not find it disgraceful that Trump 🤡 is wearing a baseball cap

at the ceremony ? , Faux news tried to cover it up by showing video from

his first term , but were found out and had to issue an apology of sorts,

no apology was issued by Trump 🤡 , because he thinks fallen and injured

service men are fools , "what's in it for them"

At his age, with temps that low, think I might have left my hat on also.

If you want to be picky, he did the proper thing, by not removing his head gear. I'm assuming he was on the tarmac ?

You obviously never served.

Apart from the military HE was the only one wearing a hat , I suspect it was

windy and did not want to mess his hair up, which is more important to him

than showing respect to the soldiers who gave their lives ,after he sent them

to war... that is not a war , but he says it is ,all members of Maga say it's an

Are you really that ignorant.

Hint: Commander in Chief

The Dover theater showcases Trump's stupid wars of choice. I would show up either. And if I did, it would be to talk to young service members and to let them know that if they have served less than a year, the can separate with an honorable discharge as a Consciousness Objector which I highly recommend - and - to hand them a copy of Major General Smedley Butler's "War Is A Racket. Bte - Is Barron Trump going to the frontlines?

🤠 He's too tall.
His father is the President and he can grant him a waiver.

Nope - the warmongers in DC don't send their own sons and daughters to die in foreign wars and foreign soil, they just send the commoner's kids.
So I wouldn't show up either. Why celebrate a failed policy. Sorry about the kids, but it IS an all volunteer military. Nobody forced them. Bad decisions have consequence. Joining the US military nowadays is a bad decision.

Have you sent your kids to die on in foreign wars on foreign soil. Did you serve in the military? I did - 8 years. Not one of these service members are defending US soil for the onslaught to enemy hordes invading out borders, well, other than illegal aliens. The Russians and Chinese aren't on our door step ready to invade. These kids don't get killed defending the United States from attack IN THE United States.

Read this ffs. This kids are sent to die for foreign profits. https://dn720005.ca.archive.org/0/items/war-is-a-racket-smedley/WAR%20IS%20A%20RACKET%20-%20SMEDLEY_text.pdf

Seriously

Commander in Chief, head of the military, top dog, 'highest officer' of all 4 branches (actually 6 ... shh).

He salutes with headgear on outdoors. Why do you think he gets saluted when hopping a chopper from WH to AF1.

Because if not, they will receive and Article 15 for not saluting an officer.

The total ignorance on this forum is mind boggling. Some of you probably shouldn't be posting until you google what ever you think you know.

Patriotism is a suckers game where the population is cajoled into dying for political and corporate greed.
You're so patriotic.
🙄 No, those who claim to be patriots are ignorant, brainwashed fools if they claim to be a patriot.

If space aliens invade the earth, I'll move back home, grab my rifle, and patriotically fight the invaders. Because the only invasion of America will come from space aliens because there isn't another country in the world who is going to invade the US.
I will not fight for imperial corporate conquests, nor will I send my kids, or grandkids, or great-grandkid. War's a racket riclag.

And to add to that "terrible disgrace, Trump is seeking donations and the following is from the New York Times; can this disgraceful poor excuse for a human being sink any lower? .......

"Fund-raising Email Features Trump at Ritual for Soldiers Killed in Iran War

The email from the group Never Surrender seeks donations for President Trump from those who want access to “private national security briefings” from him".

"Today, Democratic lawmakers on the House Foreign Affairs Committee issued a statement saying that: “Trump never misses a chance to make a quick buck off the backs of the American people, even if it means turning a dignified transfer of fallen service members into a fundraising opportunity. Deeply shameful.”

The press office of California Governor Gavin Newsom, a potential Democratic candidate for president in 2028, said in an online post that “Donald Trump is fundraising off of dead soldiers”.

The post added: “He is a deeply SICK and DISGUSTING MAN!”

The full article originally appeared in The New York Times.

If I recall correctly, when dead American servicemen and women were returned during the tenure of a Democrat president, the Republicans weren't on site because it's not and never has been protocol. Only the C-i-C is supposed to honor the fallen on their repatriation (unless he's playing golf).

As for signs of disrespect, at least the Democrat C-i-C's were respectfully bare-headed on these solemn occasions.

But don't let that get in the way of your consistently and persistently dumb rhetoric. You do you.
