The less something is worse, the more of it you’ll need to match the value of products and buy them.
How does “it’s a private company, he can do whatever he wants” sound right about now? 🤭
2·14 days agoI haven’t used Cryptpad’s slides feature but I can vouch for it’s Google Docs alternative. It came in clutch late in college when I ran out of Google cloud storage!
I don’t think authorities make a habit of just releasing evidence to the public in that way.
This I know, I was wondering if the Trump campaign had posted the footage. They’d threatened to do so at one point IIRC.
if they requested “Hey, Trump wants to come and do this thing”
Are you arguing that’s this is not what happened?
Walking up with a mob of campaign people and photo/video staff
How many people were in this mob?
Yes. There is proof. The Trump Campaign team themselves released footage of the altercation to DC and Federal Authorities
Where can I find the video? I looked for it late last week but couldn’t find it.
Yes, there is proof the representative was correct in turning them away.
Where’s the proof of the denial of the request? I haven’t heard anything about that being released.
Last point, the families never requested any permission to film
Who stated this? The ANC, the families, or another entity?
I’ve never been a big fan of the Appeal To Authority fallacy, personally. You shared the law, so I read it.
You’ve hallucinated most of my arguments, so I’ll ignore those points of yours.
they were TOLD BY A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ANC THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED IN.
Is there proof that the representative was correct?
Then your trying to something about Biden or whomever else also having pictures there… that’s not the law. Read it again. It doesn’t say “there is absolutely no photo/video to be taken at ANC”. If an acting President is there for a pre-planned ceremony and are expected to be there in an official capacity, the press is allowed in to take photo and video.
This is a fair point though, I’ll concede on this one. The MSM is different than a private photographer, which the link you shared pointed out.
The family has no say in this.
What you linked said that the families needed to request the photographer 72 hours in advance. I’d like to hear from them if they did this, and whether or not they got confirmation that the request was approved or denied.
This policy supersedes the Media Policy for Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) and the Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery (SAHNC)
The ANC is irrelevant in this case.
Filming or photographing will not be permitted if it conveys the impression that cemetery officials or any visitor or family member is endorsing any product, service or organization.
Firstly, it doesn’t seem that Trump violated what you cited, since he took no pictures, nor is there proof that he ordered anyone else to take any pictures. Secondly, it’d take a narrow interpretation of the pictures to presume that they’re meant to endorse Trump himself, any more than images of Joe Biden earlier this year were meant to endorse Joe Biden’s campaign (https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/Photos/President-Joe-Biden-visits-Arlington-for-Memorial-Day/14636/). Families like having pictures of an authority figure paying respects to their fallen loved ones. They reached out to Biden and Kamala Harris first, after all, which doesn’t seem to me like they were aiming to exactly join Trump’s campaign.
Harris criticises those quite regularly,
When did she do that last?
when people start pushing back in the same style you seem to have an issue.
I wouldn’t care if there was substance in some of the attacks as well. Like, Trump put in X policy, and that hurt the country in Y way. Honestly I complain more about Trump’s policies than Democrats do, there are multiple things he’s done that have hurt the country although I still think he was a net positive. The only policies I’ve heard Democrats criticize Trump for during this election cycle were tax breaks for the wealthy and moving the embassy to Israel.
The problem is his policies I have gripes with are all things Democrats supported. The COVID-19 stimulus checks were the biggest thing to me since they’re the primary catalyst for our looming economic crisis IMHO, but the Democrats were all on board with that. Trump also signed off on multiple gun control regulations, including the ban on bump stocks. His worst policies are left wing policies (the guy is a moderate, after all), so it makes sense that Democrats don’t attack him over them.
Which was tame compared to what he would have gone through had he gone the distance. He would have been hit with rape allegations if he won the nomination.
Retorting to some extent is understandable, but when insults are all you have left, it betrays a weakness of your political position.
You will hear Trump criticize left wing policies day in and day out, but rarely will Democrats criticize Trump’s policies.
Of course not. 👍🏾 We agree.
If we’re assuming that all allegations are true, Trump didn’t do anything. A member of his team did “show an absolute lack of respect for the solemnity and sanctity of our national military cemetery” to put it in your words, but there’s no claim that Trump participated in such actions nor that he directed or encouraged them. Unless I’m wrong, and there are articles saying Trump said “keep pushing that federal government employee homie” and I just missed those.
Well I wonder how many servicemen think “It doesn’t matter, I don’t care,” vs. those who feel such actions are a sharp reminder that some people have a deep disregard for the traditions and institutions that shaped our nation, and dont care at all for the lives lost in defence of our republic.
This is a fair question, not that servicemen approving of Trump’s appearance would make what allegedly happened okay.
Now when that same person and his team show an absolute lack of respect for the solemnity and sanctity of our national military cemetery
That’s is just barely close to what actually happened.
They rebuked Trump? No way!!
Containing, exhibiting or supporting progressive social values.
True. To be fair though, I don’t support his namecalling.
You think evidence is why leftists call Trump a rapist? Ha!
Who are you referring to here?
I’m a conservative but I’ll admit that Democrats seem to care more about rape than Republicans. Most rape apologist rhetoric actually comes from the right not the left.
The Thermos!
