It wasn’t “possibly illegal”, it was just plainly illegal.

    Reread. Cheung said the guy trying to enforce the rules was having mental issues…

    No not only disrespecting dead military members but mocking conditions their military experience may leave them with.

      I read it. I think he’s just a liar.

      It can’t possibly be that the Trump campaign were in the wrong, so the insults start. That asshole is always calling people names and blaming them for bullshit the Trump campaign pulls.

        I am confused on which way you mean any of that. Too many do’s and don’ts without specific subjects or enough context.

          What’s confusing? The government employee refused to let the Trump campaign break the law so the campaign made up a shitty lie about their mental health.

          The campaign basically called them “crazy” to make it seem like they were just being perfectly polite and it was the “other” that was “out of control.” The standard “blame, accuse and double down” when someone points out you fucked up that all of the GOP adopted from Trump.

          Its just more name calling from the name callers. I completely doubt the name calling comes from a place of authenticity.

                First time I’d noticed BADD as an acronym. I’m more used to seeing GOP reinterpreted: Gaslight Obstruct Project

            Yes I get all that. It is fucked up. The confusing part was the comment I replied to was not specific in subject. So it could’ve been read as Arlington was right or Trump was.

          I believe Mango is saying that the Trump staffer is lying when he claims that the cemetery staffer had a mental health issue.

          The cemetery staffer was doing his duty, but if the Trump campaign admitted that, they would admit that assaulting him was wrong. So instead, the Trump staffer deflects that criticism by claiming that the cemetery staffer was having a mental health episode.

          So rather than blaming issues caused by service, the Trump staffer completely made up issues to justify their behaviour.

          It’s highly disrespectful to veterans either way, of course.

      Trump doesn’t respect dead soldiers I don’t like mccain, never did and though McCain’s service record is straight up dog shit that would have landed literally anyone else in federal prison many times over Trump of all people don’t got a leg to stand on.
