Memorial weekend


Official twitter account of Democratic party, so it says.

We're glad you're happy. We do realize this is the best you can manage. Enjoy your ice cream, your photo op while eating it on this national funeral weekend of remembrance. 

The faces that go across the screen of young men who have died in service to our country used to look so mature and advanced, disciplined, well put together in their uniforms and their home activities, and now as I age they all look to me like children, the flower of our nation.

I guess this means we can expect a lecture on excess sugar, dietary animal fat,junk food, food-deserts and the epidemic of obesity related diseases and deaths, US obesity statistics, and its racial implications any day now.

Yeah, nothing says Memorial Day like Barry getting a cold ice cream headache.

The idea of His Poutiness "observing" Memorial Day like that is like him saying "corpseman".

Assuming he isn't a total ignoramus (a stretch, I grant you), the whole idea is to show contempt for the people who put it on the line every day for this country (and keeping his scrawny ass (not to mention Moochelle's massive one) safe from harm). Their deaths aren't nearly as important as indulging ourselves on a 3 day weekend.

No, he'll get a Purple Owie like Lurch, but with a V for Vain.

Seeing this piece of shit of a president presiding over another memorial day is an insult to every man and women that has served and sacrificed. They are all collectively gathered to give him a one-fingered salute.

And how old does their Commander in Chief appear in this pic?

To my eyes, somewhere between 4 and 11.

Was anything significant going on in his life during those years?

4 yrs old-1965 Mother remarries
6 yrs old-1967 Moved to Indonesia
10 yrs old 1971 Sent to HA to live with Grandparents after "troubles" in Indonesia

All or any of which could assist in strengthening a narcissistic approach, and result in an attitude from the past showing up when treating oneself to a Memorial I'scream.
