When the Atlantic article broke, talking about Trump’s failure to attend memorial services at the Aisme-Marne, WWI cemetery in France, I decided to withhold judgement as the article was based on anonymous sources. There were already a number of examples of the President bad mouthing U.S. service members, John McCain, wounded veterans in parades and his failure to act regarding Russian bounties on U.S. soldiers in Afganistan. The President’s actions in France were always strange, Queen Elizabeth made it out to the cemetery umbrella and all. The Atlantic article has now been corroborated. The President referred to U.S war dead as “losers” and “suckers”. As president, honoring fallen U.S. soldiers, is a duty I would be proud to perform. I would inquire into the backgrounds of a few, where in the U.S. they came from, who were their families.
Bill Barr’s interview with Wolf Blitzer left no doubt that Barr will distort the truth to benefit Trump. Barr claimed Jacob Blake was committing a felony at the time he was shot and had a weapon. Blitzer should have asked what felony? I saw an unarmed man walk to his car and lean in and get shot seven times in the back. You would think that the Attorney General would know that in the United States, even if arrested, persons are considered innocent until proven guilty. Barr also said that China is doing more than Russia to interfere in the upcoming election. That is apparently also untrue, while the Republicans are still blocking any legislation to prevent meddling by any foreign country.
