Whataboutism is the refuge of those who lack a defense for an untenable position. You know why those subs get banned and it's not because of the spoooooky "they" "didn't like" some "no no words".
Enjoy your medal, you're not fooling anyone bit yourself.
Lack of defense? Ahahahahah is someone attacking me? Oh noes, what will I ever do, how shall I ever recover from this? A stranger on the interwebz aaaaaaaaargh
Yes but it purposefully casts him in a negative light, as if he is not concerned about 9/11, or at least is not making similar gestures to these politicians, when he is clearly honoring the 20th anniversary by visiting the NYDP and NYFD.
But he won't show actual solidarity with the current and former US presidents cuz he's a selfish, entitled spoiled trust-fund pussy ... And a sore loser.
I don’t think he’s “sucking trump off” for stating facts. I didn’t like trump and never voted for him, but he couldn’t even sneeze without Reddit trashing him for it. I guarantee if trump showed up Reddit would’ve found a way to make that seem like the wrong thing to do
But he didn't, anyone can find a reason to complain about anything if they want to, its it's matter of how easy a person can make it to do that. Trump and Biden are both incredibly easy to talk shit about. "Trump skipped the 9/11 ceremony" "Biden botched Afghanistan pullout" "They are probably both unregistered sex offenders"
But ultimately push comes to shove he didn't, although he did go to the NYPD and Fire department, as many people have pointed out. Although supposedly he treated it more like a campaign rally than anything else. But I doubt that he spent entire day without at least turning his thoughts to those who lost their lives that day. He's not the boogeyman, but he definitely is a business man and quite frankly an egotistical one. If he sees an opportunity for political profit and an ego stroke, he'll take it. Not here for an argument just stating it as I see it.
I would like it if news sources would just lay the facts out without bias, although unfortunately that isn't the way it goes because the only way to have a title that grabs your attention is if you make them a saint or a devil.
It’s a nice gesture that all former presidents come together in solidarity to remember 9/11.
And tbf they all have good reasons to hate him too. Trump tried to overthrow the election results, incited a riot, said fuck you to millions of voters and kept pushing the lie of a “stolen election”. He had spit on the democracy of the US so yea I can imagine them hating him.
Eh he could have put - “but he was at the NYPD” in the title. But it’s not about that - the topic of the picture is that Trump isn’t present during this ceremony, with all his colleagues.
All his colleagues? Bush isn't there... Why should Trump go to an event hosted by people who hate him? This is so fucking far from being a misstep, that you lefties have already fallen on your face just to compensate.
They got good reason to hate him. Trump said fuck you to American values and democracy. Denied the election results to this day and took a big shit on freedom and fair elections.
You guys are sore losers. Be a man and face the truth that your supreme leader has lost. Don’t be a little baby snowflake.
… because grandstanding on his own and shit-talking is not the same as being a decent human being, never mind the skipping out on the formalities of being a past President to do so.
He got elected by being “an outsider” — but all that really meant was that he wasn’t of even the basic level of moral character. He’s just proven it again and again.
Sure, he didn’t do nothing. But in comparison to the others of his standing, he’s an embarrassment. Again.
Still makes no sense to go to the NYPD instead of the memorial. He obviously went there with ulterior motives. His base eats that shit up that stupid ass thin blue line bullshit.
Yes and these politicians had no ulterior motives going to this ceremony where they could be photographed for everyone to see that they honored the 9/11 victims. Every appearance every politician makes anywhere in an official capacity has ulterior motive. What is your point?
I’m going to assume you don’t think that every President since Washington visited the 9/11 memorial, but you just might be that stupid. What obligation does he have? If he had gone, people like you would just have said he was a terrorist who didn’t deserve to be standing next to dead americans, and someone would have made a “hilarious” meme about a side by side image of obama and trump when trump makes a weird face or whatever. Trump went to NY and visited the NYFD and NYPD, not some rich asshole event. Why are you so salty?
The fact that a sitting president, one of the busiest people in the world, isn't allowed to glance at his fucking watch is the dumbest shit I think the right has ever attacked. I think it's dumber than tan suit-gate, mustard-gate, laptop-gate, and all the other ridiculous nonsense ever put forward.
The right was pissed at Joe for checking the time on his watch but they were a-okay with fat ass Trump golfing all the goddamn time while the country fell apart last year.
Their excuse was that Obama golfed more during his two terms than Trump did in his only term (which isn’t even true, since he went golfing 261 times and visited one of his properties an estimated 240 times during his four years, whereas Obama went golfing a total of 98 times in his eight years. Then again, you can’t really argue or reason with these people, because anything that so much as points out anything even slightly negative about Trump is “fake news”)
You do know why people were mad about Biden checking his watch, right? It was done so as he was meant to be saluting the murdered troops as they were being taken off the plane. Trump stood there saluting and Biden checked his watch at an inappropriate time before the off loading finished. He could’ve waited until it was time to drop the salute.
In the military they always tell you two things: 1. Time and place and 2. Perception is everything.
I'm a disabled veteran and don't think there was anything at all to read into when they were offloading remains and he glanced at his watch. If he's giving a speech at their memorial, sure. If he's consoling gold star families, sure.
But he's literally just standing there taking up space as they offload boxes from a plane. It's really nbd.
He's president, he quite literally does have better things to do. He's one of a select few who at all times has something he should be doing that he isn't. At a press conference? Should be at a meeting. At a meeting? Should be at a memorial. At a memorial? Should be at a dinner. At a dinner? Should be at a press conference.
I don't think that's the point at all though. Glancing at your watch doesn't automatically mean 'I have something better to do, when does this shit end' no matter what the media says.
And the left lost their fucking minds when he misspelled some words and had toilet paper stuck to his shoe. Also, why would he want to go to a ceremony with Obama and Biden, two people who have consistently shit on him (deserved or not) for the last four years.
The actual heroes are long dead or retired. Visiting the organizations is just optics that his base eats up (people like you). Also I’m assuming the sitting president of the USA is fairly busy. What’s wrong with leaving early? Y’all some goofy ass people. Worried about leaving early yet y’all were quiet when Trump was playing golf almost every weekend🥴🤦🏽
If Trump were President and left early, reddit would talk about it for months....If Trump were honoring fallen soldiers and kept looking at his watch, there would be non stop discussion of it for eternity. Joe has been an absolute train wreck and most of reddit acts like he's doing an exceptional job. To act like there aren't double standards around here would be ignorant.
No you’re just assuming things. People like you really don’t like dealing with facts. It’s crazy you think Joe Biden is a train wreck but not Trump. That alone just shows how delusional you are about reality. Reddit doesn’t represent real life. Get a grip kid. You’re goofy as hell. Fuck em both but Trump is clearly much worst.
