An inspiring Memorial Day message and call to service from our President



Barack Obama
?@BarackObama On Memorial Day, we remember all those who gave everything for something greater than themselves. It's up to us to not simply reflect on their sacrifice but to honor it with service of our own—and by living out the values they fought for.

The Arc of Justice bends slowly...

There is no better way to serve our fallen heroes than to protect and serve the democracy they have given US. imo

She's probably saying to herself, "I can see jiggling fat man boobs any time I want. Why am I watching this?"

a diaper. If Ivanka had been there, he would have stripped and joined in, showing how macho he is. Maleria? Not so much. He asked Howard Stern "Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to a daughter than to a wife?" No idea who he was talking about. (Duh!)

mentality. But it looks like he succeeded only in grossing Stern out and Stern wants to distance himself from Trump! He’s been doing the media rounds trash talking Trump.

Really, how bad do you have to be to gross Howard Stern out?!

She definitely has that resting-face-bitch look doesn’t she? I think she doesn’t have any real friends to tell her that what she thinks is just a neutral look actually looks disdainful, conceited, cold, distant, disgusted, bored and mean. And squintingly nearsighted. But then, on the other hand, maybe she’s totally transparent and honest and her face is showing the truth. She did advertise how she doesn’t care with that jacket she wore to visit the caged kids on the border.

Maybe she’s the only honest person in the Trump sphere. That’s a possibility.

Good v. evil SO CLEAR!

By the way, I just googled "which US Presidents have been out of the country on Memorial Day."

Must've been a poor query..no responses on point?

he clearly misspoke. He meant Melania. In the history of First Ladies has there ever been one who so clearly transmitted her feelings?? Just look at that face. Can’t you tell what she is thinking and feeling???
