Being historical doesn't mean trivialized, insignificant, forgotten or even muted. At some point presidents and vice presidents will stop annual appearances at ground zero on 9/11, not different from other watermark events in history. I think we may be there now. I don't think they should. And I will just say if this was Trump who did this, half of the USA and the MSM would be losing their freaking mind right now...and it has nothing to do with Trump but more to do with peoples blatant and idiotic hypocrisy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really...guess I don't see it. It isn't the first leading article every single day on certain websites (Like CNN and Trump for the last 4 years). Barely even a mention of it really except for a couple days ago. Maybe you are viewing different sites than I am (Fox and CNN)? By the way, 9/11 shouldn't be about R v D anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offthemat Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 It’s not a law, it’s the president’s, and everybody else’s, prerogative, and always has been. It was proven this year that the president doesn’t need to participate for the memorial to endure. Considering who it is and his penchant for leaving a stain on these occasions; so what? The commemorations, like Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Pearl Harbor Day, and D-Day will continue, for some, a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jross Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 Still better. Musk on X. Quote "Our goal with X is to be a level playing field, a public square that supports the middle 80% of the country... Social media has been very left-leaning to far left-leaning, and Twitter was far-left leaning. The suspensions of Republican candidates, interests, or voices were at least ten times the suppression rate of left-wing voices on the old Twitter. We're trying to move it to the middle. From the left's standpoint, it appears it is moving to the right if you are standing on the left. But it's not. It's simply moving to the middle to represent the whole country and not just half or less than half the country... There's nothing to worry about here. It's intended to be a town square inclusive of the whole country and the world. That's all." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS... the point of asking for references is for situations where the information is not well known or easy to find. When some far-right wacko asserts the earth is flat and claims to have proof - asking for a reference makes sense. When the situation is clear, obvious, in the current news cycle, and simple to find via a 10 second google search... then the request for reference is just an annoyance.

So people are talking about X and GWN follows it with Putin praises his actions and he extrapolates that to mean Putin is praising his actions in regard to X...amazing the lengths people will go to to try and twist crap to fit a narrative in their head.

Even bad guys can see and state the obvious Musk made the right decision regarding the Starlink controversy The Trump prosecution shows rotten USA politics The USA government treats other countries as second-class What point were you making when raising Putin's comments about Musk's Starlink management... in relation to how Musk is transforming X to the middle?

headshuck Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Any concerns here that in 2023 the US and none of its ally’s can come up with a way to provide military communication support to Ukraine?
