Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Is it not an annual thing?
I think this is the first time Biden has gone, and that probably has more to do with the election than anything.
The 80th anniversary of D-Day isn't an "annual thing". Biden was invited, ~~just as Trump was in 2018 for the 75th anniversary.~~ Edit: Trump's visit was in 2018 was supposed to honor US Marines who died in WWI (where Biden also visited during this trip). Trump skipped the ceremony and then shit-talked the US Marines, referring to them as "losers."
Biden showed up-- and managed not to disparage thousands of war heroes at the same time, unlike Trump.
So, the 75th was in 2018...
And six years later in 2024, it's the 80th?
You sure about that math?
oops, my mistake. Trump was supposed to visit the same WWI cemetery in 2018 to honor fallen US Marines for the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI. I got this confused with Biden visiting the same WWI cemetery on a trip to honor the 80th anniversary of D-Day, a WWII battle.
fixed.
No, I was just shocked at your math abilities.
it has nothing to do with math. i fixed my error and explained it, but there's no excuse for being rude.
I think its an annual thing but this year was the 80th(?) anniversary so it was a bigger deal.
