“Trump complained that the veterans, who sat underneath a tent to stay dry, looked comfortable while he was “drenched.”
-Sarah Reese Jones tweeting on Trump’s commemoration speech.
#VeteransDay is always a special day of remembrance but this year it has the added distinction of marking the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
During #WWI, 367, 710 African Americans were drafted and roughly 400,00 served in the still segregated military. More than 200,00 served overseas. An estimated 750 servicemen died in combat, and another 5,000 were wounded. #VeteransDay#APeoplesJourneypic.twitter.com/oW6eVMDNDw
During #WWII, approximately 1.2M African Americans served—including 6.5K in the Women’s Army Corps (WACS). The Double V (for victory) campaign fought for freedom overseas and at home, for African Americans who were still denied equal citizenship. #VeteransDay#APeoplesJourneypic.twitter.com/1abdCkQtOZ
During the Vietnam War, more than 275K African Americans served in the military and over 7K African Americans were killed on active duty. Soldiers used the dap, a combination of hand and body gestures to greet each other and communicate solidarity.#VeteransDay#APeoplesJourneypic.twitter.com/r6zNsAo3AR
President @realDonaldTrump a no-show because of raindrops? Those veterans the president didn’t bother to honor fought in the rain, in the mud, in the snow – & many died in trenches for the cause of freedom. Rain didn’t stop them & it shouldn’t have stopped an American president.
Thinking about how the Obamas and the Bidens cared for, lifted up and supported military families past and present. They saw this as a sacred duty and went above and beyond anything that previous administrations had done and I know that they are continuing this loving care and concern into this chapter of their lives. #45 went to France to meet Putin. He only came alive,like a fan boy, when his master finally showed up. As sick as most of us are of this sociopath, our allies are even more so. When they have to deal with him, I am sure that they are cursing our names.
I sure hope so., brp. Can’t imagine he hasn’t already irreparable damage to our relationship with allies. I mean, what’s there to stop us from elevating yet another ignorant, narcissistic, sociopathic fascist to the highest office in the land, along with a completely complicit large swath of Congress again?
In EU speech in Strasbourg last April, centrist (now something of a slur thanks to right wing Trumpelettes) Macron (who beat Le Pen 2:1) said:
“Nationalism will lead Europe into the abyss. We see authoritarianism rising all around us. The response should not be authoritarian democracy but the authority of democracy.”

Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. By putting our own interests first, with no regard for others, we erase the very thing that a nation holds dearest, and the thing that keeps it alive: its moral values. https://t.co/w9AltyvMDw
