Trump Dishonors Fallen Soldiers Again August 28, 2024 at 7:57 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Charlie Sykes: “On Monday, Donald Trump visited the sacred ground of Arlington National Cemetery, where many of America’s war dead are buried, and posed for photos.” “In the strangest of these pictures, the former president is smiling and giving a thumbs-up by the grave of a Marine. It’s an image of a man who has no idea how to behave around fallen heroes.” Washington Post: How a Trump visit sparked turmoil at America’s most sacred cemetery.< =========================

“The family of a Green Beret who died by suicide after serving roughly a dozen combat tours and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery expressed concern on Wednesday that Donald Trump’s campaign had filmed his gravesite without permission as Mr. Trump stood in an area where campaign photography isn’t allowed,” the New York Times reports. “Relatives of Master Sgt. Andrew Marckesano issued their statement two days after Mr. Trump’s visit, which also included a confrontation between members of the Trump campaign and an Arlington employee.” “The former president’s campaign took video in a heavily restricted section of the cemetery known as Section 60, which is largely reserved for the fallen veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.” =============================
Veterans ‘Furious’ at Trump Campaign August 28, 2024 at 9:31 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
“Some veterans reacted with alarm to reports of an altercation between a member of Donald Trump’s entourage and a top official at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday, with a retired Army general calling the incident ‘repugnant,'” USA Today reports. “The incident occurred when a member of Trump’s team pushed his way into recording in a part of the cemetery, known as Section 60, where photography is prohibited.” “Video from Section 60, where recently buried U.S. service members are interred, later appeared in a Trump campaign Tik Tok in which he criticizes President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival for the presidency.” Said Fred Wellman, a 22-year Army combat veteran: “Donald Trump has no right to use our most hallowed ground for his political aims. For a lot of us, and I’m not the only one, people are aptly furious.
Trump Campaign Was Warned Not to Take Photos August 28, 2024 at 5:16 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
“Donald Trump’s campaign was warned about not taking photographs before an altercation at Arlington National Cemetery during a wreath-laying ceremony earlier this week to honor service members killed in the Afghanistan War withdrawal,” the AP reports.
It’s just like his attempt at a photo op when he cleared the protestors so he could hold the Bible upsidedown in front of a church that was likewise not pleased he did it.
Something happened during the Democrats’ excitement-packed Chicago convention that has drawn relatively little notice. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he was considering changing or open to changing or may change the filibuster rules next year to pass a federal Roe law, enshrining national abortion rights. Schumer said that he would pass two voting rights laws under a filibuster exception. On abortion he said, “I have to discuss that with my caucus. This is one of the issues we would have to debate and discuss and evolve.”
That's pretty; they don't occur out here.

"an expected part of the MEAL," rather.

Didn't think much of it at the time, but I do recall green peas being frequently mentioned on the menu.

Well, I got the typefaces mostly as I intended.
