In Trump’s defense, violating sacred places is one of the only things he’s actually good at
post
SO SERIOUS.
This? This is the red line? Not January sixth? Or collusion with Russia? Or tax evasion? Or selling bibles he’s autographed? Or any of the federal laws he’s broken? 🙄
There's a chunk of the population for whom this is a very big deal, and it's easy to communicate what happened.
Right! This is far from the WORST thing he’s done but this plays so poorly with his god-fearing, gun-totin’ patriotism cosplayers.
It’s fine with me. Keep taking L’s donnie!
Even the politically obtuse people still honor veterans. This story breaks out of the conservative news silos and the tribal hometown bars.
Humans have honored the dead since before homo sapiens. Laws can be complicated, contradictory, and confusing; respecting the dead is clear and primal.
Yeah, this probably won't change a lot of minds, but some folks will see there is something wrong about a man who would dishonor the dead to celebrate himself.
"You gotta remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new west. You know. Morons."
Every little bit helps
Also it helps that he’s going progressively off the rails as time goes on, so his reaction to getting caught for this stuff is getting less and less hinged month by month
It very well could be the line among his supporters who are members of the armed forces, veterans, and their families.
They might have overlooked all the scandals and outrageous things through his campaigns, presidency, and sedition, but this is where many of them have buried their spouses, grandparents, family, and friends.
Currently seeing it happen, buddies who had overlooked issues in the past have started to look at him negatively. Before it was “he has always treated us right.” Now they might write in Rand Paul.
Just another example that in Trump world only one thing counts: Trump. There are no principles . America does not come first. It’s really just him. Incredible how people can vote for someone like that.
The media for the last eight years should just be running a weekly column called "This time Trump went too far and now his supporters will turn on him" and then they can just recap Trump's actions from the previous week. Meanwhile his poll numbers will remain exactly the same as always.
Thats assuming the media (especially the broadcast media..) reports on what he did truthfully and with the full details.
Which they rarely, if ever, do.
because they have a vested financial and ratings based interest in the chaos he creates, because it drives ratings and enriches them.
So is this one making it on Network News or is it all online?
Online only. News networks are all in Trump's pocket.
Yesterday's Post (8/29)

Its there. But nothing in the headline about who or what or why it matters. Just enough to be able to say they didn’t bury it.
Weird 34 knows the media loves him for the ads and headlines his name and behavior sells. They're complicit in that they want the gravy train to never run dry. Don't reward them. Change the channel, click away, or scroll elsewhere.
Do Americans know the history of Arlington? I was quite amazed to learn how it became a military cemetery. Not hanging Robert Lee and the other high-ranking traitors is perhaps the biggest single mistake in US history. He is still the highest ranking US soldier to ever betray his country, no?
And when you're a maga they'll let you do it. Thumbs up in the graveyard, insurrection in the Capitol, you can do anything.
No shit, right? It's not just Trump. There's a whole lotta people there. Completely free from consequences, every single one.
You can see why, as much damage as they do, how appealing it is to live a life like that. Fuck the living, fuck the dead, fuck the future. Just do whatever you want.
Pretty sure if he hasn't been busted for the classified documents thing, he's getting off scot-free for this one too.
I think the main impact will be to convince a modest but significant slice of voters to not vote for him.
That place is full of LOSERS and SUCKERS! WHO CARES?
-Patriotic Republicans!
Ya know what's a very telling sign that his marriage is in shambales? The fact that Melina never, and I mean never appears next to him on the campaign trails. Hell none of his shit stain sons even show up. What's up Eric, shit stain jr and "barron" trump? Too busy doing blow off of high end escorts to show up??? Djt wouldn't know family values if it slapped him in the face
And before anyone attacks me for bringing barron into this, he did it to himself
His cultists don't give a fuck. They don't give a fuck about anything. He didn't lose any votes here
He also appears to have sold nuclear secrets to the Russians, which also sounds sort of important or something.
one of America’s most sacred places.
What did he do to the Bass Pro Shop Pyramyd?
And he fucking does not care about it. According to him, the people buried there are "losers", in case you have forgotten.
You know those videos of people talking on their cell phones during the changing of the guards at Arlington, or videos of total, antisocial assholes fucking with the sentry? Those are Trump voters.
They also litter all the time. Every time I see a car throw some giant bag of convenience store food wrappers out the window there's MAGA bullshit all over it.
