If Trump had such high regard for Veterans Day...then he would have spent the day here instead of abroad.

Not so.
It is not uncommon to go to the graves of our troops overseas, and this year, 11/11/18 was the 100th year anniversary of the end of WWI.

More than enough reason to go there.

Yes...but Trump didn't visit the graves of the U.S. troops in France...because the inclement weather prevented him from doing so. Oddly enough...the leaders of the other countries didn't allow the weather to interfere with their memorial cemetery visits.

Well I'm sure he visited Arlington Cemetery when he returned. Wait, Fox News (that's REAL news) says he did not. Yet, his base views him as a true patriot, bone spurs and all.

Wasn't it the SS that advised he not go?

You could lose your standing if that gets out.

Then...why did you talk about visiting the graves of the U.S. troops abroad in your prior post?

And...who decided the travel plans of the presidents of the OTHER countries, who VISITED the grave sites in spite of the foul weather? Their TRAVEL AGENTS?

You know what, I don't have time time to play your little games.
That was the purpose of the trip.
You would have to ask them.
Not that you really give a shit.

Sorry, Tom...something made me think that you've got all the time in the world. I apologize for forcing you to post here for longer than you would like to.

I have plenty of time.
Wasting any of it on your stupid passive-aggressive BS is not on my list, though.

I'm sure can find others who will buy you I care act.
I find it boring you use it so often.

Well you learn something new every day.
You can't put a moderator on Ignore.

Crap.

I just checked, website still has you listed as a Mod....

Are you advocating for Tom to use the ignore function on you?

Hmmmm…..You must be joking around because you just posted the opposite, not even 48 hours ago:

"I personally would never consider using the ignore option here. I feel that there is something to be learned from every single poster who has ever posted here...and putting people on ignore cheats us from acquiring that knowledge. The posters whom we admire and respect inspire us to be better ourselves...while those who frustrate us teach us the value of being patient and calm under duress. In both cases, these are valuable lessons to be taught...IMO."

I said that I would never consider putting anybody on ignore...I never said that other people couldn't put ME on ignore, if they wanted to. If Tom wants to put me on ignore...why should I deprive him of the opportunity?

PA-Mike accepted my resignation a couple of days ago...and I suspect that I'll be removed from the moderator list any day now.
