TRUMP (CAPTAIN BONE SPURS) DESECRATION OF HALLOWED GROUNDS

 

Captain Bone Spurs Desecrating Hallowed Grounds


Donald Trump's (Captain Bone Spurs) visit to Arlington National Cemetery, an event ostensibly meant to honor fallen soldiers, has instead become a glaring example of his disregard for protocol and the sanctity of national symbols. What should have been a solemn occasion turned into a politically charged spectacle, a move that not only disrespected the memory of those who served but also flaunted the legal and ethical boundaries that govern such sacred spaces.

Captain Bone Spurs actions at Arlington, where his campaign staff reportedly bulldozed their way into Section 60 for a photo op, have drawn sharp criticism. Section 60 is where the most recent U.S. military casualties are laid to rest, a place of profound grief and reflection for the families of the fallen. By choosing this location for a campaign-related photo opportunity, Trump crossed a line that few would dare to approach. The cemetery staff, understanding the gravity of the situation, advised against such a display, making it clear that only authorized personnel were allowed to take photographs or film in that area. Yet, this warning was brazenly ignored.

This incident exemplifies a pattern in Captain Bone Spurs behavior—a tendency to prioritize self-promotion over respect for institutions and traditions that are integral to the fabric of American society. Arlington National Cemetery is not just a plot of land; it is a symbol of the ultimate sacrifice made by thousands of Americans in service to their country. To use it as a backdrop for a political campaign is to cheapen that sacrifice, reducing it to mere scenery in the theater of Donnie's relentless pursuit of power.

The legal implications of this incident are significant. Federal law prohibits the use of military cemeteries for political campaign activities, recognizing the need to keep such hallowed grounds free from the taint of partisan politics. By proceeding with the photo op despite being informed of its illegality, Captain Bone Spurs and his campaign staff may have violated these laws, showing once again his administration's disregard for the rule of law when it conflicts with their interests.

This disregard is not just about breaking the law; it's about the message it sends. Arlington is a place where politics should be set aside, where the focus is solely on honoring those who have given everything for their country. Captain Bone Spurs actions undermine this sacred principle, demonstrating a willingness to exploit even the most revered spaces for personal gain. It's a move that speaks to a broader issue: the erosion of respect for national institutions under this man's leadership.

Critics have rightly pointed out that this is not just a matter of poor optics; it's a fundamental disrespect for what Arlington represents. The cemetery is a place of collective mourning and remembrance, a site where the pain of loss is palpable, and where the sacrifices of America's servicemen and women are honored with the dignity they deserve. To intrude upon this space for a campaign photo op is to trivialize the suffering of those who have lost loved ones in service to their country.

The reaction to this incident has been one of widespread condemnation, with many viewing it as yet another example of Fuckface Von Clownstick's inability to grasp the gravity of his actions. His tenure has been marked by a consistent pattern of behavior that prioritizes personal and political gain over the values that underpin American democracy. This latest episode at Arlington is a stark reminder of the consequences of such an approach.

In the end, Captain Bone spurs Arlington photo op is more than just a misstep; it's a symbol of the broader decay in the respect for institutions that his presidency has fostered. It's a reminder that the office of the president should be held by someone who understands and respects the weight of the nation's history and its symbols, someone who recognizes that some places and some moments should remain untouched by the divisive nature of politics.

This incident should serve as a wake-up call to those who still view Captain Bone Spurs as a defender of American values. The values he appears to defend are not those of respect, honor, or sacrifice but rather those of self-promotion and personal aggrandizement. Arlington National Cemetery deserves better, and so does America.

OLBERMANN SUGGESTS THAT COMEY AND CHAFFETZ CONSPIRED

Keith Olbermann called for the immediate resignation of both FBI Director James Comey and Rep. Jason Chaffetz for their handling of the latest Hillary Clinton email revelations.

A furious Olbermann said Comey and Chaffetz — who had rescinded his endorsement of Donald Trump over a hot mic recording that revealed him boasting of sexual assaulting women — appear to have colluded on the release of the statement Friday afternoon for partisan political gain.
“Why did (Chaffetz) late Wednesday night suddenly pivot back to supporting Trump?” Olberman said. “Why did he reverse 36 hours before Comey’s historically slovenly, craven note that left Pandora’s box unjustly unlocked so that a sniveling little coward like Chaffetz could peek inside (and) then deliberately exaggerate what he saw and fuel Donald Trump’s latest delusion rage.”
Olbermann said Chaffetz put words in Comey’s mouth by saying the investigation, which had never been officially closed, had been reopened, although other FBI agents have said Clinton did not send or receive the newly recovered emails.

“Then Donald Trump said that — and lied,” Olbermann said, and then much of the media reported those inaccurate claims throughout the weekend. “By the time they started backtracking, the toothpaste was already out of the tube.”
Olbermann said the timing suggests that Chaffetz is either a prophet or he knew Comey’s note was coming.
“If Chaffetz knew Comey’s note was coming, then he and Comey or other sources in the FBI have colluded to try to manipulate the election, in which case Mr. Chaffetz and Mr. Comey may need the best criminal defense attorneys that money may procure,” Olbermann said.
He wondered whether Chaffetz tipped off Trump about Comey’s note, and Olbermann wondered who could “clear this up a week and a day before the most important election since before the Civil War?”
“(Chaffetz) and James Comey may have been the lynchpins in a plot to turn over this country by treachery to Donald Trump,” Olbermann said. “It is a plot that is indeed, as Trump boasted, worse than Watergate.”

TOM HANKS GOES DEPLORABLE ON SNL

Saturday Night Live,” actor Tom Hanks went full deplorable. He donned a red “Make America Great Again” hat and sported an over-grown, graying goatee to hilariously channel a “typical” Trump supporter as a guest on “Black Jeopardy.”
“They told me a fella can win some money, so let’s win some money. Get ‘er done,” Hanks said as contestant “Doug.”

Some of the skit’s “Black Jeopardy” categories included, “You Better,” “Big Girls,” and “White People.” After answering a few of the questions, Tom Hanks’ “Doug” offered that he ignores the $40 a month he’s required to put into his 401K, adding that lottery scratchers are the way to go. When there was a question about the new iPhone requiring a thumbprint “for your safety,” Doug answered correctly that it was all a con.

Another question was about the claim that “every vote counts” where Doug replied, “Come on, they’ve already decided who wins even before it happens.”

50 SHADES OF CRAZY

Ana Navarro has been torching Scottie Nell Hughes on CNN. Hughes the light headed Trump nutter offered up a freakish defense of the GOP nominee describing grabbing an unsuspecting woman’s “pussy” — which Navarro promptly hit out of the park with a brilliant comeback.

Host Anderson Cooper asked Hughes about Trump’s grotesque description of sexually assaulting women, saying, “Let me ask you about that. Where have we made it okay to talk like that?”

VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN



According to Hughes, a popular erotic book is to blame.
“Unfortunately, we’ve made that to be a culture, a “50 Shades of Grey” culture in today’s society,” Hughes responded. “Men can talk like that. There’s nobody on that bus, as we’ve seen today, with someone [Billy Bush] losing their job over being suspended. 80 million copies of “50 Shades of Grey” was sold. “Magic Mike” was one of the most popular movies.”
“I didn't read the book but I assume that was a consensual relationship, ” Cooper admitted.
“No, it was not all the time,” Hughes shot back. “The things that were done were not. You look at the vampire trilogy, pop culture itself has become very stretched in these areas. This is just a part of it, if you read anything from Sports Illustrated to Playboys, sex, unfortunately, sells.”

Hughes added that it makes her “crazy ” when she hears women talk to other women using foul language.

When it was Navarro's chance to respond, she was fit and ready to lambast the shameful nutter.
“It makes you angry except when the person running for president of the united states says it,” Navarro began. “Let me tell you something, everything you just said is 50 shades of crazy! To compare running for president to an erotic film or erotic movie, an erotic novel, it’s crazy. If he wants to be held to that standard, great, then go write” The Art of the Groping.” But if you are running for president of the United States, you are a role model. You’re a role model for children like your daughter who you keep quoting. You’re a role model for all Americans. you’re held to a higher standard, you should not be behaving like if you are in a locker room. You should be behaving like if you are in the Oval Office.”
When it comes to either Nell Hughes or Kayleigh McEnany, the term useful idiots comes to mind. Trump and his band of deplorables are in scorched earth mode, what ever he utters, these ladies will gobble up like a pig eating shit - defending him no matter how grotesque, vile or putrid. In thirty days, Fuckface Von Clownstick will be nothing but a horrible memory, as for Nell Hughes and McEnany, they'll have to quantify for a very long time - their support of Satan's spawn.

I am not a big fan of any conservative, but at least Steven Schmidt and Ana Navarro are honest and living outside the wing nut bubble.

THE MOST DISPICABLE MAN TO RUN FOR AMERICA'S HIGHEST OFFICE SAID THIS








Donald J. Trump is a shit stain, I've been writing about it for 12 months. Trump's words are not just banter in the locker room. Grabbing pussy unsolicited is sexual assault.

Scottie Nell Hughes, an extreme nutter surrogate for Cheeto Jesus on CNN said: "women won't care about Trump's pussy grabbing comment." If women don't care, this is a problem which is much larger than the sexual deviant grabbing pussy.

The reality is, Trump is a sexual predator, always has been, the video only confirms what many have been saying for years.

Trump is Satan's spawn, he is Unfit, unqualified, undisciplined, undignified, unstable, uncivilized, unacceptable, uninformed, unkind, unwell, unreliable, un-suited and unreasonable.

In this instance, it looks as though the GOP pond scum has risen to the top. Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Sean Hannity, you own this pussy grabbing monster. It's really only fitting, that a campaign, which started accusing Mexicans of being rapists, ends with the world knowing who the rapist was all along.
Mathew 15:18 of the Bible says: But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.

THEY CAN RID THEMSELVES OF TRUMP, BUT THEY CAN'T RID THEMSELVES OF HIS DEPLORABLE BASE

During HBO’s Real Time/Overtime section Friday Maher posed the question of how deeply was GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump damaging the Republican Party and what can they do to save themselves in case he wins.

Former Mitt Romney adviser Lanhee Chen admitted that the party is going through a “temporary correction.”
“After this election, the Republican Party does have some soul-searching to do,” he explained. “But to say that it is permanently changed, implies that I think this guy will have some permanent influence on how we think about the world, and I think, from the perspective of someone who hopes that isn’t true — I hope that isn’t true.”

VIDEO COURTESY OF HBO


Host Maher jumped in to ask, “Isn't their problem their voters?”

“I mean they didn't want Trump, a lot of them,” he continued. “And we see a lot of these Vichy Republicans who go along because they don’t want to upset the apple cart. They know better. They know where their bread is buttered, where their voters are. But you can get rid of the Trump, you can’t get rid of the voter. That’s who they want.”
The reality that it is, the hateful racist base that is Trumps followers - they are deplorable, and they thrive on knowing that.
