I understand why the employee is not pressing charges. It’s a matter of their and their family’s safety. Ok.
But what I don’t understand is that if using the cemetery for political purposes is against the law, and there are obviously many photos released and used in Trump’s campaign material, why not use that evidence to charge Trump¥, the campaign, and the photographers?
¥ Sadly even if they tried to arrest Trump, I’m sure it wouldn’t stick anyway because apparently he gets away with everything.
These assholes have already won. If somehow they find their way back into the hell hole they came out of, it won't be in my lifetime.
I'm not a very hateful, or vengeful person. I can't think of a single grudge that I hold against any particular person I've encountered. But for Republicans, I wish them the worst and will enjoy watching every pineapple karma is inclined to shove up their asses. In fact, I've resided myself just now to find a way to celebrate every small victory against these fuckers and will live a happier life for it.
It's a federal crime to put your hands on a federal employee, the employee doesn't have to be named or anything the federal government can pursue it in the interest of justice in her stead.
In case anyone was wondering, this is the bullshit perspective Republicans are jerking each other off with:
Harris was asked to be there by the Gold Star families and she refused. Her and Biden both refused. They are responsible for the casualties that occurred during that Afghanistan pullout, and they couldn't face the families despite being asked to be there.
That should be the story.
But nah. Desperate media makes it about Trump taking pictures with the family who asked him to take pictures.
This is why no one trusts the media.
So, to sum up, "Poor Trumpie", "desperate media", "don't trust 'the media'", somehow Biden and Harris's fault, and no mention of the rules of the cemetery or assaulting the employee.
God he is such a piece of garbage. Like I can usually dismiss his antics as selfish and stupid and just some moron that doesn't think beyond his own needs and wants. But this is downright villainous. I hope he dies a horrible death and no one celebrates anything about him.
The majority of decent Americans are not prone to violence but this crap is building up outrage among Democrats, Independents and conservative Republicans to a point where all hell is about to bust out.
Somewhere out there, there is a technical solution to not letting this sort of intimidation happen. I don't know what that is, but I'm fairly sure it can be done.
Profoundly disappointed but also understanding. I just have to hope there are enough people in their path who are willing to throw down and get difficult.
