VP Harris's comments on Djt's Arlington Cemetery incident​

"As Vice President, I have had the privilege of visiting Arlington National Cemetery several times. It is a solemn place; a place where we come together to honor American heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of this nation.

It is not a place for politics.

And yet, as was reported this week, Donald Trump’s team chose to film a video there, resulting in an altercation with cemetery staff. Let me be clear: the former president disrespected sacred ground, all for the sake of a political stunt. This is nothing new from Donald Trump. This is a man who has called our fallen service members “suckers” and “losers” and disparaged Medal of Honor recipients.

A man who, during a previous visit to the cemetery, reportedly said of fallen service members, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?” This is a man who is unable to comprehend anything other than service to himself.

If there is one thing on which we as Americans can all agree, it is that our veterans, military families, and service members should be honored, never disparaged, and treated with nothing less than our highest respect and gratitude. And it is my belief that someone who cannot meet this simple, sacred duty should never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States of America.

I will always honor the service and sacrifice of all of America’s fallen heroes, who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our beloved nation and our cherished freedoms. I mourn them and salute them. And I will never politicize them."

Will not matter

Had the actions been reversed you can only imagine the uproar instead of the current crickets from fox and the right.

It's even more absurd when you look at Trump's history with the Dem party. From donating to them, saying that he identifies more as a Democrat, that the economy always seems to do better under Democrats, that Hillary would be a strong leader.... And then changing his position on gun control and abortion. Talk about flip flopping.

Seems most of these changes took place leading up to 2008. Hummm

People who don't vote: "My vote won't make a difference and there's no difference between the candidates on the ballot." I don't know how to respond to such an attitude. My immediate reaction when I hear something like it is, "Are you stupid?" If it takes someone like Trump to move the "Stupid Majority" to vote, then America deserves whatever befalls it. And I will be sad if I lives long enough to see it happen and I will also be ashamed if it happens after all the sacrifices my mother and father and my grandparents made to hand me the life I have on a silver platter.

Because I turned 18 before the 1972 election, I first voted when I was a 17 year old senior in high school in the 1972 primaries. I never missed a single general election or primary after that. Even when I was in the Army in West Germany, I cast an absentee ballot in the primary and general elections. But I will admit my primary motivation for voting (and paying state income taxes) while in the Army was to preserve all possible arguments for why I was still entitled to in-state tuition rates.

It’s one of the many stunning aspects of how Trump has reoriented the Republican Party that they now align themselves with communist Russia.
