Popular Post Jamalisms Posted August 29 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 29 This was mentioned elsewhere but I think it could be worth a thread now. Initially, the Trump campaign came out pretty strongly and derisively towards the report and the staffer who tried to enforce rules, claiming it was untrue and putting the burden on that staffer as if they had been irrational and out of line. The Army itself has now issued a statement backing their staffer and rebuking the campaign for their lies as it relates to the staffer and what happened. It's gross conduct and sadly not surprising from Donald Trump. He's got a long list of disrespect shown towards veterans and the deceased. https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/29/politics/us-army-rebukes-trump-campaign-arlington-incident/index.html “Participants in the August 26th ceremony and the subsequent Section 60 visit were made aware of federal laws, Army regulations and DoD policies, which clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds. An ANC employee who attempted to ensure adherence to these rules was abruptly pushed aside,” the Army spokesperson said in the statement on Thursday. Section 60 is an area in the cemetery largely reserved for the graves of those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. “This incident was unfortunate, and it is also unfortunate that the ANC employee and her professionalism has been unfairly attacked. ANC is a national shrine to the honored dead of the Armed Forces, and its dedicated staff will continue to ensure public ceremonies are conducted with the dignity and respect the nation’s fallen deserve,” the statement said.

chef Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 Maybe could start a Ranker page on DJT offenses that would have ended any normal campaign over the years. Let everyone add and sort by vote. IsntLifeFunny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some user engagement. Maybe someone outside of party could start a prize pool where whomever picks the #1 at top of Ranker come midnight close of election day gets a prize. Bring back attention to just how much gets ignored, like a battered wife telling some about her Sunday morning bruises after his drunken Saturday rager that "it's not a big deal he's just like that sometimes."

CreepingDeath Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 (edited) Anyone else excited to wait for Merc, et al to spin this? I mean, once marching orders are figured out over at FOX HQ and the Kremlin/Twatter. Edit: addition: I haven't been following it, but maybe this should go in the "5 positive things about Trump" thread?

begooode Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 (edited) Way too many on Trump’s team are just bad people who aren’t satisfied getting their way at the moment. They have to engage in over the top, performative storytelling to diminish anyone or anything that pushes back on their narrative building. The cemetery staffer should press charges and sue in civil court, just to check the ugliness that they’ve descended into. From Trump’s team yesterday completely mischaracterizing the incident to make Trump the victim: One spokesman said the cemetery staffer was “clearly suffering from a mental health episode,” promising to release footage of the encounter but so far declining to do so.

I 100% knew it was a female with the way they characterized her. They're so disgustingly transparent. chef, and MadMax 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 The incident happened on Monday. This is Thursday and the story still is in the news and has legs. That's a strong indication of poor staff work by the Trump campaign for not managing the incident better and putting it to bed. 4 days and counting of negative headlines. 9 Nines 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Military officials said the cemetery worker feared that pursuing the matter with the authorities at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Virginia, which has jurisdiction over the cemetery, could subject her to retaliation from Trump supporters. Cheung said in a statement Wednesday that “that is ridiculous and sounds like someone who has Trump Derangement Syndrome.” OILERMAN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

9 Nines Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 His campaign could release an official apology and take responsibility for the altercation and this would probably go away, but they will do the opposite and this might have legs into the debate and will then be asked at the debate giving it extra legs. Maybe an octopus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
