I didn't really pay attention to the hate that Obama got. It seems quite clear (and quite likely sadly) that people hated on Obama for pointless ****.

The justification is "they did it, so it's OK for us to do it too" and that will be the justification forever until one side puts its foot down

Edit: I don't want to say "I should have paid attention." I didn't care about politics for most of Obama's presidency.

Thats not the justification. Its simply calling out hypocrisy. Trump was someone who called out Obama for it so he better be prepared to take it back when hes just as guilty of the same shit he criticized others for.

So no, its not he did it so its ok. Its alright dude, nows your chance to prove us wrong and act differently like you said you would...oh youre acting worse? Well then heres some accountability for you..

It will be interesting when all this flips around during the next Democratic presidency.

The next Democrat President will pass on honoring the military over a little rain?

Trump truly is unlike any other President. He is a uniquely stupid, hypocritical jackass. He is incomparable.

Harsh criticism of things that don't matter drowns out criticisms of things that do matter.


What are the "things that matter" that this is drowning out that would otherwise be prominent in the news?

Trump can visit the graves of the WWI soldiers tomorrow if he wants. I hope he does.

Lol @ the people quickly trying to put words in my mouth though. The kneeling thing is a waste of time for everyone involved. It's more than just a simple protest at this point. It's gained its own life. But that is another issue which is not even applicable to this situation. Trump didn't go to the memorial because of rain and this topic is full of people saying how terrible of a person he is because of it.

i think its more about him golfing under the rain(someone tweeted a pic of trump doing this ) but when is time to do something more important like this suspends it

Poor weather is honestly a good reason to cancel an event, but for Trump to make such a big deal about disrespecting troops makes it rather funny.


Besides the obvious problem that this was a big deal for the families of those people and the fact that it was an important event that other officials went to it despite the rain, if they cancelled an event every time it rained in Britain, the islands would just have to be permanently boarded up.

How the fuck does the biggest piece of shit who repeatedly disgraces the fabric of good ol' American traditions STILL have the unconditional support that he does from god-fearing, camo wearing, blue collar "patriots"?

This is what always boggles my mind considering every Hank Hill in the country would believe Trump is the biggest pussy to be ever elected president.

It really does make no sense at all.

He embodies everything they claim to despise, yet they still revere him beyond belief.

Trump ran a campaign of hate that resonated with these people. His supporters are people looking at things logically, they just want something to hate.

What if a leaf gets blow slightly in the wind, or it looks like it might rain?

It might just be best to move the event to another time. Make it somewhere nice and sunny in America while we are at it too.

Yeah, like even if you take the emotions out of it, he's catastrophically stupid for not taking the realpolitik opportunity. Can you imagine how good of a propaganda piece, "President marches through rain to honor fallen heroes" is? I can fucking see the image being plastered all over pro-military tracts.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Obviously it's staged and manipulated and pure propaganda, but you have to be an idiot to pass up that opportunity when the majority of your base are so invested in military dominance.

Yes, I know, I'm not saying it's from today, I was pointing out that it was a good example of pro-military propaganda that Trump could have easily employed. I also wasn't the one that posted the picture.

Then he's even stupider. Either way, if I were him and my base was a bunch of pro-militarists, I'd be saluting those graves like a mother fucker come rain or shine.
