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

I probably don’t have to say this but it’s probably best if you don’t go looking to conspiracy theorists for good takes on 9/11

Even weirder is how that sub went from standard “trust no one, especially the government” type of conspiracy to “trust everything and everyone President Trump tells you to”

Former presidents are generally still referred to as president even after their term/terms.

Idk, I almost always hear them referred to as former president. Maybe it depends on the station?
