Even though some have forgotten, I remember what it was like when Trump was president.

I remember what he did and said about

veterans and soldiers who gave the last full measure of their devotion that freedom may live and ring throughout the world.

I remember in 2018, he canceled a visit to Aisne-Marne cemetery near Paris, the resting place of 1,800 Marines killed during the bloody Battle of Belleau Wood, saying, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” And later, according to his former Chief of Staff John Kelly, calling them “suckers” for dying.

I remember what he said of John McCain, who served his country honorably in combat and public service, dedicating his life to veterans affairs* and the people, calling him a “loser”.

I was not surprised.

He has accused, without proof, Gold Star Families of giving him COVID; it couldn't be the fact that he doesn't mask up when he should.  

He also called the Medal of Freedom much better than the Medal of Honor, because soldiers are in “bad shape” or dead when they receive it.

He has told us what he will do.

Continue to denigrate veterans and service members.  

And if elected, he’ll use the military against civilians, pointing to “the enemy from within” and saying that “they're very dangerous”, and considering what happened on January 6, 2021, the violent attack on the Capital, he's pointing back at himself, his mini-Mes, and his sycophants stating that he is the enemy from within and that he and his minions are very dangerous.

This election goes way beyond political parties.

Let's remember what the United States represents and stands for.

Honor. Always faithful, Semper Fidelis, to the Constitution of the United States of America.

I remember.

And I support our veterans, our troops, and true patriots, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

*McCain, according to the AP, was a leading force in the Senate behind VA Choice, the law that gave veterans an option to go outside the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system and get private care at public expense under certain conditions. President Barack Obama signed the VA Choice legislation into law.

Remember who was the very first Republican president and everything he stood for?

Here's a reminder from his speech in November of 1863.

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. 

We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. 

It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. 

The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. 

The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. 

It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. 

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”*

Today, we are gathered on a different battlefield of a war of conscience- for liberty or of tyranny, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can endure.

Will we honor those that gave the last full measure of devotion, and resolve that those that have fought for and died for freedom in two world wars and conflicts shall not have died in vain?

That this nation, under God, shall have that renewed birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth?*

Will we save and preserve this democratic nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all people are created equal for our children and future generations?

We can by voting for V.P. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, patriots dedicated to defending freedom and democracy and serving the people. 

*Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863. 

**Paraphrased from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

 

“Even though some have forgotten, 

I remember what it was like when

Trump was president.

I remember what he did and said about Puerto Rico, about our people. 

I remember after Hurricane Maria devastated our island, Trump blocked billions in relief while thousands died.

I remember when our families lacked clean water and electricity Trump threw paper towels and called Puerto Rico dirty and poor.

I was not surprised.

Because I also remember he launched his campaign by calling Latinos criminals and rapists.

He told us what he will do.

He’ll separate children from their families and threaten to use the army to do it.  

This election goes way beyond political parties.

Let's remember what the United States represents and stands for.

United. 

Regardless of where we are from.”   

        
           - Mark Anthony, I remember.*

"And I support Kamala Harris 

for President."

“Are you okay?”

This is a question most normal people would ask if they noticed someone in distress.

The former president is not looking well and is incoherent many times.

Naturally, the Vice President has cause for concern.

His normally weird and spoiled behaviors have devolved even further than his usual extreme, name-calling, and condescending self.

Why?

Who knows.  

For some reason, this tired old senior citizen refuses to release his medical records.

The question of stamina is on the minds of voters because he keeps canceling interviews, and when his people say he's playing music and dancing at a Town Hall meeting, there was no evidence of any dancing unless you call moving arms up and down and swaying occasionally dancing.

Go to this link to see V.P. Harris real dancing:

Are we still trying to compare the two?

Is there even a comparison?

One has to feel sorry for all his supporters that he has conned to his world of delusion and victimized into falsehoods, racism, and corruption.

He’s like Bernie Madoff, the monster Ponzi schemer of Wall Street, on steroids with his various grifts that seem more like schemes rather than long-term plans, except to my knowledge, Madoff still was in full control of his faculties when he passed.

I am not sure if this grifter is still in full control of his faculties; all indications not.

The question becomes how many more events will this exhausted senior wannabe dictator cancel and how coherent would he be in the events he bothers to show up for.

Will this old horse even show?

P.S.

This old-timer grifter always gaslights his followers.  I refuse to be gaslighted when it comes to his occasional swaying to music which is not dancing since none of his movements involves any steps.

 

Imagine that you woke from a nap to the shout, “Danger, danger, Will Robinson!”

Disoriented, you reach up for the call button to ask what's going on, but before the button is pushed the squawk box screams, “Warning! Warning! Brace for impact!”

Your steward walks up and down the aisle reminding passengers to buckle up and get into crash positions.

You make sure your seat belt is still secure tightly around your waist and as you turn to protect your head you notice outside your window a field of floating space debris.

You pondered how this came to be since the space trip you were in was supposed to head in a straight shot to the moon, a large celestial body orbiting the earth, not likely missed to the naked eye.

You turned your head the other direction and asked your fellow passenger what happened.

“Remember that old inane captain that used to pilot this ship, you know the deranged old senior that kept trying to jettison his crew into space anytime anyone disagreed with him?  

Well, apparently someone from his old crew, let him on the bridge, and because the old captain thought we were heading in the wrong direction and in a senior moment he and his sycophant commandeered the ship course corrected us straight into this debris field.”

“What!? You mean we’re actually lost in space and are about to die from space debris?” 

“Yup.”
