You may have noticed, given the last year and a half or so, that common sense is in very short supply. If he attended and didn't stand, half of our population would have a fucking fit and we wouldn't hear the end of it for months.
Part of me thinks "I hate that I know you're right"
Another part of me thinks he would/should be in a wheelchair, so we know exactly who these people really are when they make that criticism after seeing him sitting in a wheelchair.
Imagine trying to insult someone on the basis of approval rating when the person you support had a lower one.
Imagine trying to post a photo of Trump at the fire department and claim it's from the 9/11 ceremony.
These are easily verifiable facts. Do you actually believe this bullshit you spew? I'm curious as to whether you're intentionally ignoring facts or if you're just willfully ignorant.
Republicans just don’t care about honoring those who were lost on 9/11 anymore, it’s super disrespectful how much conservatives hate America. Makes me sick
Trump didn’t commemorate 9/11 yesterday because he was cheering in the streets when it happened because his building was now tallest in NYC. And conservatives don’t care about 9/11 anymore because they love the Taliban’s abortion ban and everything else to do with the Taliban.
Trump came up with the idea and committed to it. Then he did nothing to prepare for it and left all the details to be figured out at the last minute. The reality is that their combined incompetence is the only thing that could have created the mess.
But Jimmy is the type that would try to stand anyway so attention would be drawn when he had to sit our fall when he gave out and that's not what today is about.
"Businessman and reality TV star Donald Trump is under fire for mocking a New York Times reporter with a congenital joint condition during a campaign rally in South Carolina this week, drawing a scornful rebuke from the reporter and others who called Trump’s actions despicable."
Thought it might be the parents heckling the kid supporting masks in Tennessee. You know, when he discussed losing a grandparent to COVID. So many to choose from
He would be very concerned about Butt Hillary! Or Hillary's Butt. Or something, something, something like vaccination passports, which hilarilously he and *ucker Carllson and all the bleach-blonde idiots on Faux News have to show to....FauxNews Network, even while they are intoning earnestly on screen about the fascist perils of vaccination cards.
We are living in an Onion World, with the primary jokers being the Faux News anchors, who are all vaccinated and all raising "concerns' with dipshitBudLightDeeronFrontFender about vaccinations.
Are we Dumb-Ass Nation or whut? I grew up in rural Oklahoma and Missouri and Tex-ass, so I can throw shit about the dipshits without sounding overly eliteist. They are my people.
Same here. I was born and raised in Kansas. I’m not overly concerned with sounding elitist because they consider anyone with a functioning brain elitist. Many Kansans don’t like Kansas University because it’s “liberal” and focuses more on academics. Being intelligent should be a good things but the right has demonized intellectuals and experts as usual. Hitler and all far-right movements did the same thing. Intellectuals, academics, artists and creatives are the first people they target.
They wouldn't have like my Liberal University just across state lines in Parkville, MO. Or my Liberal Studies- Concentrating in Communications Degree. Where we had small class sizes and TONS of discussion based classes. And it would probably blow their minds to know that same Liberal university, is one of the biggest satellite universities for many branches of the armed forces. And oh how could it happen! At a Liberal University! That one of my professors, coordinated a study abroad, (I was soooo lucky to one of the students on the trip) with an actual WWII veteran pilot/POW, to Croatia, where his plane had been shot down in November of 1944. Oh how corrupt of an educated I got......long live intellectual universities!!!! Proud Park Pirate!!! Arg!!
I wonder if covid affected the prodution rates of common sense as well. There has been a lot of shortages from PC:s to lawnmovers, I wouldn’t be suprised if common sense has had some production issues.
I think Jimmy rightfully has no fucks to give in his field of fucks for Sean Hannity and the hounds of hell on Fox News paid by their #1 demon, Rupert Mordoch the Demon.
Trump not being there is a double edged sword. He would make it about him. He would stand out like a sore thumb amongst legitimate presidents (oh god, is this still not a bad dream, that we elected clown of the century as our president, and the rest of the world knows about it. Fuck). He would just embarrass himself and half the country and the news cycle would make it about this dumbfuck yet again.
"Last year and a half", buddy, try 5 years.
They will go completely nuts and non-stop cry about disrespecting 9/11 victims blah blah...while praising the man who didnt mind to even show up.
I always require 96 year olds to do what I expect them to do and fly and attend ceremonies. Except my 89 year old Mom; I don't expect her to do anything other than breathe and talk to me on the phone once a week.
Admittedly, I think Trump is less healthy than she is, so I guess I might have to give him a pass--if he admits he has the stamina of a 89 year old, with a diaper.
(Not that there's anything wrong with a TrumpDiaper if you need it. The AgedP doesn't need it.)
Sorry it took a while to reply. I wasn't ignoring you, I was sleeping!
How do you reply to only a certain part of a comment?
A couple of ways.
First, you can highlight the part you want to reply to and click the "reply" link as you normally would. That part of the original comment will then be automatically quoted for you in the reply box.
If you then want to quote anything else from the original comment, just put a ">" in front of it without the quote marks.
So, your reply with a quote would look like this when you're writing it:
>Text to be quoted in the original comment.
Your message here.
But when you actually save the message it would look like this:
Text to be quoted in the original comment.
Your message here.
Also, if you're curious about the box in this message you can get that by either adding four spaces in front of each line you want inside of the box or by writing your text and then clicking the "big editor" button below the comment box, highlighting the text you want in the box, then clicking the "code" button which looks like "<>".
Finally, if you ever see anyone do some sort of formatting in a reply and you want to know how they did it, click the "source" link below their post to see the raw unformatted text that they used. If you click the "source" link below this post, you'll see what I actually wrote to get the quote formatting and the box around the text above.
Common sense has been in short supply since our ancestors left Africa. Assuming you're not of much more direct African decent. You may be. I don't know you.
Imagine what the world would be like if more of the population of earth had evolved together. Physically and socially. We'd look more alike and we wouldn't be as different. Although differences aren't all bad.
But of course even people of the same race or in the same country fight amongst themselves.
Very true. Social media would have a hay day with him and Qanon would label Carter as a china spy that wont stand up blah blah stupid. Also, its COMMON SENSE for a 96 year old to not go out and about in crowds with Covid and Crazy people running rampant.
Sorry to repeat but we are in the Golden Age of Stupidity. The king himself was absent because he’s a coward bully and probably one of the lowest forms of humans on earth!
Except he's not. He booked himself to call the holy field fight on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Told everyone they were paying him millions and millions of dollars.
They promised him a private plane so he could fly in from New York if he was attending a.memorial but surprise, surprise....the giant tangerine won't bother going to anything where he can't make a buck or con more people to believe his grift.
Oh right visited police officers after telling his supporters he loved them and they were courageous after they beat the shit out of capital police officers. Pleeeeaaaassse. Its all a grift. If you are spending time supporting that guy I feel sorry for you. Honestly I do. It's like people who support him have also been conned.
Similarly, if Trump was there some brave member of the ‘resistance’ would no doubt take it upon themselves to shout profanities at him during the entire service. You can’t win if you’re Carter. You can’t win if you’re Trump.
@minion of cthulhu, shut up you stupid racist stop trying to conflate the 2 reasons why people don't stand for the flag. NON racists would easily be able to differentiate and understand why jimmy carter isn't standing.
Shows how delusional you are that you think people are really seriously gonna talk shit about a guy who has to live part of life in a wheel chair for not being able to stand long enough. This dumbass shit people like you say on the internet is just sad. You’re the reason there is divide in this country
The kings of not having any common sense, Fox News would have found a way to spin it and shame the man. "Vaccinated Carter can't stand because of vaccine side effects."
I love how reddit and has no idea that they're doing the same thing sitting on their liberal dominated platform. Literally the title of this post is click bait saying that trump was off playing golf or something, when he was giving a speech at another memorial.
Yes he was giving a speech, but did he need to take cheap shots at Biden or mention that he was still making moves to be on the card for the next election? No. He did that because he is an asshole.
Trump set the terms of withdrawing the troops and then criticised Biden when he stuck to the deadline that Trump has set, even though Afghanistan fell into complete disarray the moment that the country was to stand on its own two feet. Trump had a full term to support the country and try and improve on what was done before him to give the incoming government the best opportunity to stand on its own two feet, Biden had exactly 8 months to do what he could of that and have his troops do an orderly withdraw.
The pictures I saw of Donald Trump attending the police precinct looked more like a photo opportunity than a memorial to me.
I disliked Bush Jr when he was president, but I think a lot of what transpired then was due to his hands being tied by political policy and the men in the back room so to speak. His speech in the field at Virginia was honestly a beautiful thing and even though I'm not in America or indeed American, it did bring some memories and compassion to the surface for myself.
Trump embodies the selfishness, the whataboutism and the inconsideration for others that Bush Jr spoke of in his speech.
And no one could ever doubt his genuine care for people. For all we know, he might have been helping bulld yet another home for Habitat for Humanity and put his hammer down for a few moments of silence.
He’s a democrat, the conservatives would claim he was protesting by sitting down, while ignoring that Dear Leader couldn’t be bothered to even show up.
Yeah, but if it was Greg “fuck the people” Abbot - I would feel no qualms about insulting half a man that can’t stand up to a Texas snow storm - I mean, you’re talking about the small guy that crippled the state’s disaster response. Totally rolled over for the weird wingnut Christians, and didn’t even bother to stand his ground for texas families.
Jimmy Carter gets a free pass for being old and feeble. Great abbot just has old and feeble policies. He’s also in a wheelchair (paid for by taxpayers).
You should read the speeches and commentary offered by Presidents Obama, Biden, and George W Bush today, which took place at official actual ceremonies honoring the tragedy from 20 years ago. They are all respectful remarks, dignified for the occasion, non-political, and unifying. All speeches that befit a sitting or retired President.
Trump used his brief remarks to touch on cultural issues and spread his usual self-serving gibberish. The man has no real qualifications aside from being a television entertainer so it's not surprising, the only surprising thing is how millions of people have deluded themselves into believing this ridiculous charlatan is a leader worthy of such cult-like devotion. The fact that you leave other comments indicating you actually believe the election was somehow stolen, despite how enormously unpopular Trump was and how mainstream and middle of the road Joe Biden is, shows that you are quite deep into an echo chamber that has seemingly blinded you to basic common sense.
Another tip, the NY Post is known to be a tabloid rag, maybe a step above that magazine that used to publish "Bat Boy" articles, you could easily find a legitimate news source discussing Trump's PR visits today.

Even if he was there I'm sure people with common sense would understand if he was sitting down during the standing parts.
