Some 40 miles away Biden held a gala fund raiser along with Clinton and Obama, where a photo taken with the three stooges cost a mere $100,000.
I hope American voters are watching and taking note. These Democrats have no integrity, no character, and no shame.
They should count their lucky stars that they're even tolerated today with the shenanigans they continue to pull...
Political fluff versus actual feelings for American values .
I know fully well it was a political decision as well, but what move you make shows who you really are. Trump had his share of fluff events as a private citizen.
Just to think where we are in our country right now where if Biden goes to a service where a police officer is killed by an illegal alien it would hurt him with his base of supporters. That’s a scary reality.
A cynical comment from one of the few leftists on this site. Sad.
Biden is a totally self centered political ass, whose first thoughts at any time are how his political fortunes will be affected, and that is how his decisions are made. He has been an easily bribed crooked failure in political office for almost half a century, and he needs to go.
I believe the American people can see their country in decline, and they know the reason for it. I believe a growing majority of Americans cannot wait to get to the polls in November to send Biden home and put this nation back in the right direction. Like millions of Americans, I HAVE to believe it. Otherwise there is only further, and accelerated decline of my Country.
You mean the one in which he insulted me?
"You are delusional....as well as clueless."
Funny.....I don't mind at all when I'm called a Conservative!
to a certain extent i agree (on both parts)...but to insinuate that every presidential nominee isnt going to attend certain functions...in part for political reasons...isnt very bright. thats why i originally posted what i did..."priorities."
trumps priority was to bond with law enforcement and in turn connect all those who support them...a large part of his base.
bidens priority was to bond with celebrities and high dollar donors...and in turn connect with all those who relate with that crowd...a large part of his base.
And to not realize that isn't very bright.
From all reports, Jonathan Diller's family were very appreciative of the former President's support. Apparently thousands of NYC policemen appreciated it too.
right...
Another offended leftist! Imagine that. And in denial as well!
That is what I have read.
I didn’t see any reports of Biden being invited.
I would think crashing someone’s memorial would be extremely odd behavior.
as with most things-what if Biden went to the memorial and Trump went to a fundraiser? These fools would freak out.
Tell that to the cops at the capital on January 6. Tell that to Trumpers who beat and injured over 100 capital police. . Defund the FBI/CIA is as dump as "defund the police."
Unfreakingbelievable.
Do you research.

isn’t that pretty much how youve described yourself? :)
So, you admit that Nancy Pelosi is responsible for not letting the Capitol police do their jobs??
And if it’s so dumb, why won’t China Joe let the border patrol do their jobs?!!
I'm pretty sure that was done by Trump haters when he walked from the White House to to St. John's chruch.
im sorry...i must have misunderstood when you were describing your bar fights and run ins with law enforcement. :)
do you know what these little things :) represent?
LMAO! Exactly what I was thinking!
Until Trumpers wanted to hang Mike Pence.
Trump went to pay respects. Good for him. It's a good thing.
My hell, you are a broken record and a clueless fool to boot...
Patriots my ass. More like weak minded followers and worshippers of a MAN.
I'm a broken record...have you looked at you, beendare, sundowner's posts. Faux news rerun everyday here. Hello kettle
Communist...lol...are you in the sauce
I wonder how much the airforce one fuel bill was for these rallies."
presidents have no choice but to use "air force 1" or "marine 1" for all their air travel...its the law.
however...every president (or his campaign) is also required to reimburse the government for personal or campaign/political use those aircraft...based on a predetermined formula that is the same for every president.
Nobody denies that something happened. But nobody, and I mean nobody, with any amount of common sense believes that it was strictly an effort by MAGA folks. I’ll bet 5 bucks that crowd that broke the window, had as many Biden voters in it as there were trump voters. Pelosi gave orders to stand down, and the cops cowered to her accordingly. And don’t tell me it’s a preposterous idea. Quit being so dramatic about it. You know good and well it was not strictly trump supporters. Of course, if the Democrats really cared about law and order they would do a proper investigation. They won’t do it because they’re “complicit”!!!
Prove me wrong…I dare ya!

He was the Commander and Chief of the D.C. National Guard and the entire freaking U.S. military.
He screwed the pooch...period.
It’s all about the best way to sell your product. In this case the product is a political Weapon against your enemy.
When did he or does he EVER give a rats rear what anybody but his base thinks?
The answer is never.
Shane
Very much like that. There are hypocrites on both sides.
I just haven’t seen any proof that Trump was responsible for it. Insurrection is a federal offense but yet that has never been charged against Trump. They have charged him for just about everything else except insurrection and farting in public.
If the “insurrection hearings “ had actually been about getting to the truth except a panel of Trump hating democrats and 2 Trump hating republicans and a TV Director to coordinate the drama maybe we would know more about the truth. But the fact they charged him with everything else except insurrection leads me to believe there is no proof of insurrection.
"I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
How is it possible to construe that statement to mean he incited a riot?
Nyati 's Link
Jordan is a moron, and likely the only reason McArthy even mentioned him was to appease him and his followers. And it didn't help him in the end any way.
And that is absolutely the truth.
You are aware that was not the only comment he made on the topic, right? And that he used the word “peaceful” once and “fight” numerous times?
Like I said above, hypocrites in both sides.
And how many times has Hillary, Obama, Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff and many other dems used the word "fight" in a political context.....exactly as Trump did?
Yep......another hypocrit.
This isn’t a thread on any of those people. Nice attempt at deflecting.
You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face. And it probably actually has.
No, they were instigated to burn down federal courthouses, overturn and burn police cars, destroy businesses owned by hardworking citizens, loot and steal and injure many innocent people.
It's my thread. :-)
Just like the January 6th National Guard situation. One dude is responsible.
Sundowner....could be, but I can smell BS.
Should have included those other people in the title if you wanted to discuss them. But it is your thread and you own that.
Start your own topic, man. I know you can do it. Think hard.
Just another philosophical, theoretical excuse.
Not until you posted.
You really seem like a good dude Timex? But you also seem not to get it. You don't have to worship Trump or even like him. But to deny that he is the better option for this country? That's either ignorance or leftist narrow minded thinking.
Nope, you first. Then tell us about the “due process” offered to your inflated number of “criminals”.
Then we scoff at the arrogance of a rich man like Trump, and scheme and connive to keep him out of office. Frankly i don't have much time for any of our so called "educated" gov't officials anymore. slandering, conniving, people in 3 piece suits and soft hands that have spent and mishandled to the tune of trillions of dollars...TRILLIONS !!...."smart" ?...or fools?
Biden vs Trump........personality aside it's a no brainer, or have you not noticed just about everything has gone south since Biden took office.?
This country needs to back up take a different route and it starts by getting rid of Biden, no need to slander the man, just fire him.

March 8, 2024
WASHINGTON - Today, Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) released a transcribed interview the January 6 Select Committee conducted with President Trump's former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato, which shows President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation’s capital.
The interview also shows White House frustration with slow deployment of assistance. The Select Committee conducted this interview in January of 2022, but never released it.
Following Mollie Hemingway's reporting, Chairman Loudermilk released the following statement:
“The former J6 Select Committee apparently withheld Mr. Ornato’s critical witness testimony from the American people because it contradicted their pre-determined narrative," said Chairman Loudermilk. "Mr. Ornato's testimony proves what Mr. Meadows has said all along, President Trump did in fact offer 10,000 National Guard troops to secure the U.S. Capitol, which was turned down.
"This is just one example of important information the former Select Committee hid from the public because it contradicted what they wanted the American people to believe. And, this is exactly why my investigation is committed to uncovering all the facts, no matter the outcome.”
Original reporting by Mollie Hemmingway in The Federalist reveals the January 6 Select Committee suppressed exonerating testimony of President Trump's push for the National Guard on January 6, 2021. The Select Committee falsely claimed they had "no evidence" to support Trump officials' claims the White House had asked for 10,000 National Guard troops. Ornato's interview proves this was false.
Top Takeaways:
1. A January 6 committee staffer asked Ornato, “When it comes to the National Guard statement about having 10,000 troops or any other number of troops, do you recall any discussion prior to the 6th about whether and how many National Guard troops to deploy on January 6th?” Ornato surprised the committee by noting he did recall a conversation between Meadows and Bowser: “He was on the phone with her and wanted to make sure she had everything that she needed,” Ornato told investigators.
2. Meadows “wanted to know if she need any more guardsmen,” Ornato testified. “And I remember the number 10,000 coming up of, you know, ‘The president wants to make sure that you have enough.’ You know, ‘He is willing to ask for 10,000.’ I remember that number. Now that you said it, it reminded me of it. And that she was all set. She had, I think it was like 350 or so for intersection control, and those types of things not in the law enforcement capacity at the time.” Ornato was correct. Bowser declined the offer, asking only for a few hundred National Guard and requiring them to serve in a very limited capacity.
3. Bowser’s decision to decline help from the White House did not end the Trump team’s efforts to secure troops ahead of the protest. When the D.C. mayor declined Trump’s offer of 10,000 troops, Ornato said the White House requested a “quick reaction force” out of the Defense Department in case it was needed.
4. Once the Capitol was breached, the Trump White House pushed for immediate help from Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller and grew frustrated at the slow deployment of that help, according to the testimony. “So then I remember the chief saying, ‘Hey, I’m calling secretary of defense to get that [quick reaction force] in here,” Ornato said. Later he said, “And then I remember the chief telling Miller, ‘Get them in here, get them in here to secure the Capitol now.'”
5. Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops. In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the committee included precisely that evidence from a key source. The interview, which Cheney attended and personally participated in, was suppressed from public release until now.
just out of curiosity...in your opinion...what president in your lifetime has met that standard of dignity?
I agree Timex.....You would think this country could come up with one GOOD man. Knowledge, wisdom, honest, decent leader. Sad truth is till they climb the political ladder to wealth and power, they have probably already been tainted with corruption.
Often the only difference between the common man and political leaders is "opportunity" to be corrupt. The common man deals with, his job, his family, mortgage, 401K...etc...etc Our rich officials got their fingers in everything, and sadly even if they started out good, wealth and power changes them. That being said, Gov't officials should have a higher level of accountability because they are leaders. If my son is a crackhead, it basically effects only my family. If the president of the U.S has a son that is a crackead he should not be leading the whole country, or be involved in foreign affairs.
If i am not a public speaker....no big deal. If the president of the U.S is not a good speaker it is. etc...etc..etc.. Sad this is the best we can do, but Trump is most certainly the best choice of the two. Our Gov't needs a total overhaul, and Trump could get the wheels turning, WHY ELSE DO THEY HATE HIM SO!!
imagine if teams of people scoured bowsite posts for all the things weve posted that would fall below the level of "dignity" that we claim we want our leaders to possess...and thats just what we say in public...let alone what we say and do in private.
exactly . the difference between trump and all the others is that they try to make you believe they are something or someone the are not.
at the end of the day…it all boils down to policy…it’s the only thing that matters.
If you mean Secretary of Defense James "Mad Dog " Mattis, he turned out to be mostly anti Trump after disagreeing over Syria policy, although to his credit he kept his mouth shut after resigning.
United States Marines are very special people. Timex, I'm sure your father was (is?)a great Marine, and his service to this nation is much appreciated.
Trump has shown that he respects and appreciates all members of our armed forces. He did more for veterans than any president in modern history, and raised active military pay. The military loves and appreciates him too. On the other hand, biden has diverted funds from veterans programs to provide handouts for illegal alien criminals.
I had no idea that he would win but apparently a majority of Americans didn’t want Hillary and was ready for a change. She and the Democratic operatives couldn’t and have yet not accepted that outcome.
Bengazi May have sealed her fate much like Afghanistan May have sealed Biden’s fate . We will see
Yes, the political division in our country is troubling and, I agree, not sustainable. Of course the cause of the division is seen differently by the opposing forces.
To a Conservative like me, the division had it's roots in the Democrat left moving so far left that reasonable people could no longer compromise with them without giving up on their core principles. And to Conservatives, it seems that the left has no desire to compromise. And when you think they have pushed the envelope as far as they can, they double down on even further insanity. Example: we have a currently serving Supreme Court justice who, during Senate confirmation hearings, could not, or simply refused to define what a woman is. Yet every Democrat voted to confirm her nomination.
Donald Trump, along with all his undesirable traits, just happens to represent the other side of the political spectrum......the belief in American traditions, American common sense, America first policies. There are growing elements in the Democrat party that believe America is evil, and a force for bad in the world. Conservatives can't compromise with that belief, so unfortunately the divide will continue....to what end we can't know. I pray it doesn't end in our total ruin. If it does, Conservatives will always believe it was caused by the leftist Democrats.
you might want to go back and read what i posted again. i said exactly what i mean...in response to what you said.
but to answer your question...yes. as you so accurately said...they have their public persona and they have a private persona. generals...colonels...and officers are not immune to the same failings as anyone else.
at least with trump...you dont have to wonder.
lots of this stuff is like water that drips, it eventually wears down rocks....what was once taboo is now being considered as normal, because you are constantly exposed to it. Some are hard enough to not wear down, others get gradually swayed to the left.
from gun control, to gov't scandal to, same sex marriage, transgender problems, border problems, inflation...etc...etc...etc
There is gonna be division.....you can bet on that.
Have you actually looked at the standard Trump has set by his behavior when suggesting that people on this site somehow hold him to a higher standard than they do themselves? How many felonies have you been charged with?
“In 2023, a civil trial jury found that Trump sexually abused E. Jean Carroll. In 2024, a New York state court found Trump liable for financial fraud. Trump is appealing both judgments. He is also indicted in New York on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, in Florida on 40 felony counts related to his mishandling of classified documents, in Washington, D.C., on four felony counts of conspiracy and obstruction for efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and in Georgia on ten charges of racketeering and other felonies committed in an effort to overturn the state's 2020 election results. Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges.“
"Trump has shown that he respects and appreciates all members of our armed forces."
Horse s#%t- he avoided the draft and call soldiers who die in battle losers. You're dilusional...again.
I'm a lot of things but at least I'm no apologist for a con man.
Trump does not deserve another shot after attacking the foundation of our democracy, Biden doesn't deserve another shot either. I can't vote for a guy who leaves armed forces in a pickle like his afghan withdraw. Along with his top secret documents crap. He and Trump should both be in prison for that IMO. Lastly, Biden cognitive ability is compromised.
i think a better question would be how many times could posters here have been charged with various crimes...if they were under the same amount of scrutiny as trump.
And BTW for those that have forgotten or willfully has ignored that’s not how our system of justice is supposed to work.
Just curious, how many of these posters are running for POTUS? I would darn sure hope anyone running for public office would be held to a higher standard.
I think you might have missed my point.
Everyone is flawed…add to that a motivated congress/ag/da/prosecutor/judge/media…along with the necessary amount of scrutiny…not one of us would or could meet the standard.
true.
but everyone who is applying for that job...given the right amount of motivation from the the aforementioned individuals and groups (congress/ag/da/prosecutor/judge/media) can and will be found lacking...either because of actual deeds...or fictitious ones.
...in general the people are gruff, overbearing & attitudinal......basically if your a soft, passive type personality person,,, NYC will chew you up & spit you out."
we are all a product of our environment...think about it...and how it applies to trumps personality.

F - New York and anyone who votes to put these lefty Marxists in power
pretty much the same can be said for a lot of states...whenever you get out of the major metropolitan areas. they are a different breed.
