"It's the 3rd anniversary of 13 American service members dying during the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Biden is currently at the beach."

Every single day of the year is the anniversary of a service member who died in WW2
You can bet that Donald Trump will not be at the Beach for that. At least not if the beach in question is Omaha Beach.
That beach is for suckers and losers.

Exactly. Congress is not in session. I don’t expect the President to not vacation so that he can attend some anniversary of a relatively obscure military event (no one outside of these families would have known it was this anniversary).

Trump seriously does not care about these people or respect the military. Only the cultists believe that. His family has notoriously avoided military service at all costs. His grandfather was even kicked out of Germany for it. But Trump goes to lay a wreath for some PR and he’s a fucking hero. GMAB. Probably would’ve been smart PR to have at least Harris there. But this isn’t something worth getting all riled up about
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

I never got the outrage over these specific 13.

We spent $2.3 trillion

Deaths:

*2324 U.S. military personnel

*3917 U.S. contractors

*1144 allied troops.

Ignoring the completely callous portion of Nichi's posts, I don't know,  maybe they could have been avoided if the withdrawal had been more planned, which is partly the military's fault since they never thought Biden would go through with the deadline Trump agreed to. So, we have Trump at fault for cutting the deal; the military for not taking it seriously; and Biden for not making sure the military was planning appropriately and then not delaying it when he knew it was going to be chaotic.

Exactly. The only 4 American deaths that ever mattered.

Oops. There was no 3rd anniversary event at Arlington. There was an illegal, staged political event by the Trump Campaign. They clashed with an employee who tried to stop them..

Biden and Harris weren't there because Trump didn't invite them. They likely would have declined anyway.

This stunt is backfiring.

"And there you go. Donald Trump is using footage and photos his campaign took at Arlington National Cemetery for political purposes -- against the rules and laws that govern this hallowed ground. Arlington officials tried to stop him from politicizing the cemetery, and Trump staff physically attacked them..."

I’ve often wondered why the left gets so mad that Trump wants the European members of NATO to pay their fair share? Why get so mad when people want reasonable border policy?

Seems the left truly wants a globalist agenda and open borders, but only provides lip service to the contrary.

I don’t want any part of the sick secular progressivism that’s swept Europe and threatens to import, unfettered, the third world into the US going forward. 

The global elites are wolves in sheep’s clothing and seek only to consolidate wealth for themselves by importing cheap labor and suppressing wages. Then they’ll happily throw you in jail for expressing your dissent.

The left also hates Musk for calling out the lies of the globalists and allowing free speech on X, so it all makes sense now.

NATO, globalists, Musk, secularism, etc, etc.  That’s quite an impressive list of grievances, all neatly bundled together.  George Carlin could have done an entire routine about you.  He would've titled it “So Many Grievances, So Little Time.”

Sigh. Let's see.

We benefit a lot more from NATO than Europe. Sure, the Russkies might run them over with NATO not being around - and they'd be occupied by Putin's jack booted thugs - but we'd lose 25% of our entire customer base and our economy would go into the shitter. Paying a few pennies to keep Romania and Estonia from becoming East Moscow again returns a huge deal on our investment. And if Eastern Europe were to fall, it would cost a LOT more to keep the Russians out of Germany and France which would REALLY cost us money long term. NATO is a huge deal for the US, and the Europeans know it. Even logistically, we have big airbases in Germany/etc... if we aren't funding NATO and get kicked out of Rammstein...

The border? We've all been fooled on the border. No matter what, the US does not function in it's current wealthy manner without that immigrant labor. If we "shut the border" and no immigrants come in, our economy craters. The real solution is to have a very aggressive guest worker program - you want to come in and work, no problem, unless there is evidence of violent crime in your home country, you can get a visa and work. If you don't have a visa, you can't work. People unable to work won't come - what's the point? But this won't happen because the current system keeps labor cheap and puts the cost of immigration onto the taxpayers. Fixing the system will put the cost on employers, who have bought congress to keep the current system because they don't want to pay more for labor. The RIGHT is the one who wants an open border while telling racists they want a closed border in order to stay in power so they can.. keep an open border. The left just doesn't want kids in cages.

The "third world" is ALREADY HERE. Picking your crops and busing your tables. You LOVE it. You LOVE cheap prices. You just want to PRETEND that that guy in the fields "came here the right way" and not smuggled in by coyotes in cahoots with employers who will throw them all under the bus and say "oh his papers were faked"

Suppressing wages? You sit here and complain about Biden's inflation that is CAUSED BY HIGH WAGES. Then you say that Biden's open border is suppressing wages? You're incredible in your inconisistency!

Musk? One thing that would be good about closing the border is maybe that dude would do less fentanyl.
