Where is the outrage by the Trump supporters for pissing on the memory of our fallen Veterans while in Paris and again by refusing to attend the Arlington laying of the wreath ?

Maybe everyone has just come to terms with the fact that he's an asshole. It's no longer news.
Sadly, I believe you’re correct. Still, we can’t afford to become numb to Trump. Doing so just makes it easier for him to continue on his merry dimented way of attempting to destroy faith in our courts, federal investigative and intelligence services, and any other trusted government organization that gets on his bad side.

So Trump missed most of the WW2 ceremonies held on Veterans Day. Give him a break. I was in DC two days after Bill Clinton's first inauguration and he missed the abortion march, breaking years of presidential precedent. But he was not asleep that day. He signed 5 executive orders that day loosening restrictions on those seeking to execute babies before they were born.

I'm a veteran, and the son of a veteran. Yet I am not automatically offended by such things.
Why should I be? My honor and pride is not affected by what others do. It is based on my own honorable service.
Nor do I automatically react in a knee-jerk way just because people insist I need to be upset.
The President is the Commander in Chief. When I served I did not have to agree with him, or support his policies, but I was duty bound to obey his lawful orders, and those of the officers and non-coms in my chain of command per my oath.
So what if he didn't preside over a ceremony? How does that affect anyone in any material way?
I think you should consider being proud of any service you performed, and leave unnecessary "offenses" by the way-side.
Now if you choose to be "offended," so be it. But that does not automatically put you on any moral high ground.
Think about it. :coffeepap:
I count at least a dozen references in you post referencing I...me...my....Have you considered starting your own thread where you can pontificate about YOUR moral high ground ?....think about that Mr. Egotistical.
You demand "where is the outrage" and when a response you don't agree with is made, what do you do? Respond with fallacies. You are dismissed. :coffeepap:

The trouble is, we can't really do anything about it till 2020. Even if the house were to impeach, the Senate would never convict. I agree that his depredations need to be recognized least complacency set in.
The majority of serving military and veterans support trump and the republican party. I don't know why - but that could be the reason there hasn't been an outcry. But if President Obama did what trump did - you'd have every trumpeteer - serving or not - screaming for his execution.
The republicans must really hate Pence. They could easily have impeached trump by now - they controlled both houses - and installed Pence as president. And although I despise Pence, he at least can form a sentence. And he wouldn't be tweeting at 3 in the morning, threatening our allies and praising our former enemies via tweet and he wouldn't spend every 2nd day playing golf and every second week vacationing at Mar-lar-go.
The more and more the republicans support and defend trump's outrageous and disgusting behaviour the more they alienate the moderate republicans. They can't win elections with the far right white supremacists and neo-nazis that worship the orange one.

Sounds very scientific, your polling.Actually Joan, I live in a city with 5 major military installations. 1) The USAFA 2) NORAD 3) Fort Carson 4) Peterson AFB 5) Schriever AFB...Tons of military retirees live here. Although most active duty tend to keep quiet for obvious reasons, many of the retired vets despise Trump with vigor.
Would you please stop trying to intentionally derail threads with off topic posting ? If you want to discuss Clinton or abortion, start your own thread in the proper area of the forum....thank you
