“That man doesn’t deserve to have been the commander in chief for my son, my uncle,” he said, referring to Beau Biden and Ambrose Finnegan, who both served in the military
President Joe Biden choked up Wednesday talking about the military service of his family members and former President Donald Trump’s disparaging remarks about service members.
“They asked [Trump] to go visit American gravesites. He said, ‘No.’ He wouldn’t do it. Because they were all ‘suckers’ and ‘losers,’” Biden told a crowd of union workers. “I’m not making that up. The staff who were with him acknowledge it today. Suckers and losers.”
He paused for a moment and added, “That man doesn’t deserve to have been the commander in chief for my son, my uncle.” Beau Biden and Ambrose Finnegan both served in the military before Trump took office.
Biden’s comments referred to Trump’s 2018 trip to Paris for the centennial of the end of World War I, when he declined to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery and reportedly called Marines who died at Belleau Wood “suckers” and fallen soldiers at the U.S. cemetery “losers.”
What point are you trying to make? That the US has been giving aid to israel for decades and thus this is fine? The US had slavery for a long time (arguably still to this day in prisons and abroad), but that doesn’t mean it should continue.
What point are you trying to make? An argument that I either support slavery or negate it? It’s not the same thing. The mechanism for aid was 60 years ago and has been going there for even longer. With Iran in the middle of it now Russia will try and get involved too. Israel has been and always been a political ally to our own safety. There is no denying that Biden’s decisions are to maintain a ally he came into, not created. Every President, even Trump, sent Israel aid.
Israel is clearly committing genocide and we should not support this.
Did I say I support it? I said there is a bigger picture more than “Biden is bad and at fault”.
