If Djt DARES to appear before cameras at the funerals or burial sites of

those who were shot and killed in Apalachee and tries to flash a grin and thumbs up...
HE MUST BE ARRESTED ASAP!

September 4, 2024

Djt, the coward yelling 'fight!' and making fists from behind bulletproof glass at rallies

will do nothing about outlawing AR-15's and other military weapons from public sales or protecting already-born children from horrific mass shootings, such as the most recent one at Apalachee High School.

Djt is young working men's and women's worst nightmare

Young male voters are flocking to Trump – but he doesn’t have their interests at heart | Steven Greenhouse The Guardian:

'If you’re one of the many young people at Starbucks, REI, Apple or elsewhere who support unionizing as a way to increase your pay and improve your working conditions, you should know that Harris is a strong supporter of unions and enthusiastically backs legislation to make it easier to unionize.

But billionaire Trump dislikes labor unions. When he was president, he and his appointees did dozens of things, large and small, to weaken unions and create roadblocks for workers seeking to unionize.'

Here's a term for Djt's debate style: LIARRHEA

It's ironic that VP Harris, who is notably expert at prosecuting, experienced in politics and well versed in the principles of democracy, is nevertheless preparing diligently for the Sept. debate.

Meanwhile, Djt is regurgitating his lies at rallies, hatching more mysoginistic and racist insults against the first woman of color who will likely win the presidency and who will finally say it to his face!

Djt denies validity of reports by U. S. Army of conflict at Arlington

'Trump says reports of ‘conflict' at Arlington ‘made up’ despite US Army statement
Donald Trump says reports of “conflict” at Arlington National Cemetery are “made up” despite a statement from the US Army defending an cemetery employee who was “abruptly pushed aside” during an altercation with the former president’s campaign staffers last week.'

[From Djt]:"There was no conflict or “fighting” at Arlington National Cemetery last week. It was a made up story by Comrade Kamala and her misinformation squad. She made it all up to make up for the fact that she and Sleepy Joe have BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS"... [etc, etc.]

We must vote this serial lawbreaker and reality denier out in Nov. and have all the indictments, trials and sentences move forward pronto.

Djt's J6 celebratory event adds insult to the Arlington injury.

Djt's J6 event blatantly celebrates those who tried to violently overturn and undermine the democratic system and peaceful transfer of power that those who are buried in Arlington fought and died to defend.

VP Harris's comments on Djt's Arlington Cemetery incident

"As Vice President, I have had the privilege of visiting Arlington National Cemetery several times. It is a solemn place; a place where we come together to honor American heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of this nation.

It is not a place for politics.

And yet, as was reported this week, Donald Trump’s team chose to film a video there, resulting in an altercation with cemetery staff. Let me be clear: the former president disrespected sacred ground, all for the sake of a political stunt. This is nothing new from Donald Trump. This is a man who has called our fallen service members “suckers” and “losers” and disparaged Medal of Honor recipients.

A man who, during a previous visit to the cemetery, reportedly said of fallen service members, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?” This is a man who is unable to comprehend anything other than service to himself.

If there is one thing on which we as Americans can all agree, it is that our veterans, military families, and service members should be honored, never disparaged, and treated with nothing less than our highest respect and gratitude. And it is my belief that someone who cannot meet this simple, sacred duty should never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States of America.

I will always honor the service and sacrifice of all of America’s fallen heroes, who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our beloved nation and our cherished freedoms. I mourn them and salute them. And I will never politicize them."

"The idea of serving others, much less giving one's life for others, is anathema to Trump."

'Trump is self-conscious of his lack of the virtues towards which the military strives: as the US army puts it, loyalty to the constitution, dutiful fulfillment of responsibilities, respect for others, selfless service to both the country and subordinates, honor, integrity and personal courage.

His poor form at Arlington this week therefore shocks but does not surprise, as the idea of serving others, much less giving one’s life for others, is anathema to Trump. This attitude would be a sad commentary about any man, but ought to disqualify someone seeking to serve as commander-in-chief.'

(Excerpt from article by Kevin Carroll, The Guardian.
He served as a senior counselor to US secretary of homeland security John Kelly, and as a CIA and US army officer
