The two have nothing to do wit each other, and you know it.I don't respect Trump voters for the reasons I stated.


That's just a god-damned shame.

My son, brother and sister all support Trump; what, should I shun them?

These are good people, intelligent poeple: do I damn them as fools and ghost them for eternity?

I think not.

It’s against federal law to use Arlington cemetery for partisan political campaigns which Trump did. Or his people did.


Is it a law or just a rule?

I didn't see in there which law it was. Did I miss it? I am not doubting you that it is a law, but I want to read the actual law so I can understand it.

some of the insults T has thrown Kamala's way - from the link:

"In a little over five weeks, in speeches, social media posts and interviews, Mr. Trump has called Ms. Harris a “wack job”; a “communist”; “dumb as a rock”; “real garbage”; “a bum”; and, employing a phrase he applies almost exclusively to women, “nasty.” In early August, he reposted an image depicting Ms. Harris as a dung beetle with her face covered in what appears to be blackface while astride a coconut. And he has made or amplified innuendo-laden references to his opponent’s long-ago relationship with the former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown, suggesting she traded sexual favors to accelerate her political career.
“She had a very good friend named Willie Brown,” Mr. Trump said at a rally on Aug. 3. “He knows more about her than anybody’s ever known. He could tell you every single thing about her, could tell you stories that you’re not going to want to hear.”
At a convention for Black journalists in Chicago last month, he questioned Ms. Harris’s racial identity, saying that she only recently “became a Black person.” And in addition to a post on Wednesday on his Truth Social platform, which made a crude reference to Ms. Harris and oral sex, Mr. Trump this month reshared a video of a singer in a parody video saying that Ms. Harris has spent her life “down on her knees.”
In a statement, James Singer, a spokesman for Ms. Harris, called Mr. Trump “out of his mind.” He added, “If a family member posted what Donald Trump is sharing today, Americans would rightly be concerned.”

If it's an editorial, consider that fact as well.

EDIT: Clicked the link. The editorial is gone.
I wanted to admit it was an opinion piece , so I said that

do not click on a link in a quote here, it fouls it up if it is the last thing in the quote

Thank you. If anyone else is interested it is Code of Federal Regulations Title 32 Subtitle A Chapter V Subchapter D Part 553.
