If it helps, the marine was dead and as Trump shared, people who die in war are Losers anyways.
Kim was like: "What is the maniac doing now?"
this American weirdo smh
Thumbs up and smiling for the grave of a suicidal soldier.
I think that soldier was the grave to the left.
Still though, doing a press event over some dead vets… oof. What the fuck is wrong with these people?
After agreeing to not do it and being told by staff to stop it!
and when needing to pee so bad.
It's fucking weird as hell.
Morons pose with the idiot who caused their children to be murdered. Classic ghoulish republicans. The Afghanistan withdrawal agreement was initiated under Trump—everyone seems to keep ignoring that fact.
This is nothing new for the GOP.
After 9/11/2001 the GOP had two talking points they loved to repeat over and over.
One was that Bill Clinton had had eight opportunities to kill bin Ladn. This ignored that all of those opportunities would have been illegal.
The other was that Bush Jr. only had nine months in office before the attack and hadn't had time to get up to speed. That ignored the fact that Clinton had warned Bush that bin Ladn was a threat; the CIA had told Bush bin Ladn was a threat; the FBI had him on the Most Wanted list; and that Bush had been give a report titled 'bin Ladn is planning an attack on America.'
and then it was "nobody could have seen this coming".
except everyone who could. i think they even had warnings about the actual plan.
They were allowed to publicize that picture? What the fuck?
Neither of these pictures makes Trump an absolutely non-votable asshole? What the fuck?
Republicans. What the fuck?
What the fuck. What the fuck?
Even Kim looks shocked lmfao
I imagine this continued like an SNL sketch, with the general moving to a salute when Trump moves to a handshake, and then repeat that a few times. End up with a hearty laughter and a french kiss.
Anyone who said, "You know, Donald. Maybe a thumbs up really isn't appropriate for this time and place" would get fired immediately. Trump doesn't care about anything except Trump. The picture is clearly about HIM! Not where he is or what he's doing.
There are probably very few people left to tell Donald how to act like a normal human being and most of them don't bother out of fear of getting fired.
What's with the devil horn gesture that two women are making?
They're either Aggies (Texas A&M fans), or they're trying to do the rock horns and failing miserably.
I'm inclined to think mostly column A, and a little of column B.
The devil horns are basically a symbol of Satan. The metal folks were doing it for performance reasons (to look badass, kind of similar as many hip hop artists want to look as if they are criminals in gangs). They were also used to stick it to the satanic panic of the 80s where they were labeled as Satan worshippers.
What is that symbol supposed to mean in this context? With a politician? In a cementary? Next to a grave? Of a soldier that is of a Christian faith?
the horns were popularized by Dio. his grandmother used it to ward off the evil eye, as it is traditionally done in several parts of the world. nothing about Satan.
pretty sure that association was popularized by the satanic panic crowd because they were desperate to make whatever connection they could
Yeah he said this in 2001, it might be a different meaning he had, but other heavy metal bands had their own meaning.
Besides, the way Dion did it is actually offensive in Italy, for example https://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1874098_1874099_1874139,00.html
The sign he is taking about supposed to be with fingers tilting downward or in level position, not point at specific person and without movement.
Also while he popularized it, he wasn't first one it looks like it was first used by a rock band that was into occult in 1967.

Lol, also in the debut album of Coven, the featured song was called Black Sabbath, the name of the band Dio was in when he used the sign for the first time.
Ozzy was known for using a peace sign, Dio wanted something similar, but didn't want to copy it, so he used the devil sign from Coven and then in 2001 came to with the grandma's story to not make it look like he ripped it off.
The web page detailing the deceased shows them making that gesture, it's probably something she did often. It's likely just the "rock-on" gesture.
Sign language for I love you?
That has the thumb out and palm facing outward not the back of the hand.
Has somebody photoshopped his hand to be extra small, or are they really like that?
There used to be a local, New York City area magazine called 'Spy.' Ran a lot of satirical articles about stupid people with too much money, so naturally Donnie was a frequent target. They are the ones who first called him a 'short fingered vulgarian.'
Again with the stupid thumbs up. This idiot has no idea where he IS or he doesn't care. He could be standing in front of the gates of Auschwitz and he would still have that moronic grin on his face.
How many Arlington pics did Trump take? That’s like a totally different group than the one I saw.
The callous mindlessness is off the charts with this willfully ignorant reality-television parasite.
As much of an idiot fascist criminal he is, I feel like I'd be awkward enough to do the same thing lol
Not knowing how to pose for a picture when taking a bunch, sure might happen. But you only salute your superiors, the commander and chief, head of the U.S. military saluting anyone isn't something that should happen, guys just a fool. Kim is standing there with a face like the fuck, I told my men I'd kill them if they saluted you
