"Happy" Memorial Day?

rambot · May 27, 2024

Two former Presidents tweet out messages to America about Memorial Day.

As an outsider I've always been intrigued by how other countries celebrate their fallen soldiers. I can say in Canada, Remembrance Day is a solemn day. It is meant to show humble respect, admiration and gratitude to the soldiers who have fought for us AND the soldiers who have perished. This has been the Canadian way since....I dunno, before I was born, for sure.

On Memorial Day in the US, two US Presidents tweeted about Memorial Day.

Who do you think did a better job at honouring the legacy of the fallen soldiers from your country? Which of these two presidents cares first and foremost for their country?

Obama cared for the country more so compared to Donald.

The first sentence from each post say it all.
One writes a fitting tribute to those who sacrificed all in service to his country.
The other writes a screed full of selfish recrimination.

As a teacher, I would also point out Trump's abhorrent writing quality. I mean, how many sentences? Where is the punctuation?

It would remind me of writing done by someone high on some kinda stimulant.

That first “sentence” is a doozy!

The difference is that while the one guy is virtue signalling after 8 years of presiding over foreign wars, the other is giving the masses the prolefeed they crave.

I see little admirable in either.

I don't think Obama is virtue signalling. In his post he recognizes that his decisions caused "heartbreak" and had hard effects on families. I think if it was ONLY the second paragraph, I could understand virtue signalling, but at least he OWNs it, at least a little.

Are they equally distasteful to you as well?

Oh no, Trump wins the distasteful part hands down.

Then there was Eric Trump and his Friday post about sacrifice.

This is soooooo stupid.

That family gave up NOTHING and frankly, is trying to grift people.

How can people think like that?

Agreed 100%. For the question (How can people think like that?), Trump brainwashed people, similar to the wicked man in Psalm 10:2-7.

Psalm 10:2-7 (NIV): "In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises. He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord. In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God. His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies. He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.” He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.” His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.

It's interesting that in threads related to Biidens fitness for governance his supporters will venture into those threads.

In threads like this I don't see the inverse as much.

What do you expect? Someone with a masters?

To the right, Trump is a weapon against the left. There's no morality. No virtues. No pretense. He is a weapon to be pointed and used by his followers against their perceived enemies.

Hillary was right.
His supporters prove it every day.

I would say whichever one had less US soldiers die while they were POTUS.

One would need to own up to the deaths on his watch first:

Published May 17, 2022
While speaking in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, Trump claimed while discussing the U.S. war in Afghanistan: “When I was in charge, in 18 months, we didn’t lose one American soldier.”

“In 18 months in Afghanistan, we lost nobody,” he later emphasized after mentioning that day’s deadly shooting in Buffalo, New York, in which a white gunman killed 10 Black people in a supermarket.

That is a false statement.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. There is no year-and-half time frame under Trump’s presidency alone that no combat deaths among U.S. service members were reported.

To be fair, they both spent their entire time as President presiding over foreign wars.
