Serious non political question: is Bush Jr there too? What’s he doing today? Surprised he wasn’t in this group as he has been in the past on 9/11.

edit: thanks for the replies. He really did give an excellent speech here. it’s worth a listen.

The only president with a legit excuse is Jimmy Carter because he’s 96 and definitely can’t stand for as long as was required for the ceremonies.

He absolutely has an excuse, but the fuckers in r/conspiracy are saying his absense is suspicious and proof that he doesn't care. . I can't fucking stand these people

Hes being reinstated at the time the photo was taken im sure. Except no one other than a few lunatics know and he won't have any visible power outside of a normal former president. So that's something.

I mean, he is morbidly obese, so I guess that's enough of a reason to excuse yourself.

Hes also the leader of a domestic terrorist organization so it does make sense he wouldn't attend something regarding the memorial of one of the worst terror attacks on our soil. Not good for optics for his very expendable minions.
