I do know that it has been reported that Trump claimed bone spurs to avoid Military Service; however, I do not know how that correlates to it raining. To the bold I may be mixing it up, but I thought Bush and Obama both went to Arlington and laid wreaths. How far back that goes, I'm not sure. Maybe 2001? Like I said, I may be mixing it up with something else, but I was thinking Bush had gone out in a downpour and then dropped his "new clear" mic bomb. I did see something in one of the stories complaining that while Trump skipped out on Arlington, he did offer a Veteran's Day sale on his merch. So, that's something. I guess.

Putting a 17% deficit in your budget is just spending money you don't have. Everybody can't do that.

Oh, I absolutely believe POTUS should do something to commemorate Veterans Day, he is the CIC after all. I just disagree with it being an Arlington Ceremony. IMO Memorial Day is when we honor the fallen. Veterans Day is when we honor veterans past and present.

I don't know the history of presidents at Arlington on veterans day. I had more of an issue of him spending millions to go to France to honor the fallen and then sitting in his hotel room while several other world leaders honored theirs. Hell, even Germany showed up.

Last one is great: Lincoln was asked to speak here only as an afterthought. The request for Obama to speak has been sought for more than a year. It would be an occasion for him to honor a crucial time in our past, to create a historical bridge to today. His dismissal of the request shows a man so detached from the duty of history, from the men who served in the White House before him, that it is unspeakable in its audacity. Ask almost any person in this historic town; even his most ardent supporters here are stunned. Obama long ago veered away from any affinity he may have believed he had with Lincoln, which gives credibility to the criticism that his connection to Lincoln was always a political calculation rather than a true bond. Journalist helping readers understand what this "diss" really means. RE: My bone spurs are acting up... - bfine32 - 11-20-2018 At the risk of "defending Trump" he did take full responsibility for not going to Arlington and saying it was a mistake not to go. I'm sure we cannot find fault in that: http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/even-when-admitting-he-made-mistake-trump-makes-mistake Quote:Even when admitting he made a mistake, Trump makes a mistake RE: My bone spurs are acting up... - fredtoast - 11-20-2018 (11-20-2018, 07:44 PM)bfine32 Wrote: I'm sure we cannot find fault in that: Not if you once again just ignore facts about your Donald. He claimed he went in 2017, but he didn't. How is that not a mistake? "Sure, what he said was a 100% lie, but he said it like a common man instead of a career politician. So there was really nothing wrong with that."

Waiting on Benton to ask you who stated what you quoted. I'm sure he'll be along anytime now. As to the issue at hand. I was simply pointing out the need to look for a cloud in front of every silver lining. You helped demonstrate the dynamic. Thanks.

All he demonstrated was that in his admitting a "mistake" (not a mistake btw... a choice) Trump also lied. Again.

I equate it to Eldrick Woods saying he "made a mistake" when he had 20 affairs while married. He made a choice. A mistake would be if Trump did in fact confuse his Memorial Day activities with his Veteran Day ones. But he made a choice to not go...he didn't mistakenly not go. I appreciate you at least admitting you feel obligated to defend Trump no matter what.

In retrospect someone can say "The choice I made was a mistake" but it's not the same. Do you think Woods "made a mistake" 20 times? Or did he make a choice and then decide it was a mistake to make that choice?

I'll leave it to you and Benton to have the grammar discussion. Perhaps Dill can be of assistance; he was last time. |
