That’s not the only confusing thing in that picture. There are two others throwing up devil horns or hook’em horns, but they are conflicting. They don’t look like UT or metal fans. Not sure what’s going on there.

[Axios](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/report-filed-on-trump-arlington-national-cemetery-incident/ar-AA1pxUAz):

> … campaign communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement … that there “was no physical altercation as described. … The fact is that a private photographer was permitted on the premises and for whatever reason an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of (Individual-ONE)'s team during a very solemn ceremony.”

Mental health episode? Fuck you sideways with a barrel cactus, Cheung.

That is not that sign. Compare 🤘 to 🤙

They aren’t doing the second.

Cheung is even more odious than all the other sycophants who surround Trump. Like a whole other level of odious.

[Jeff Tiedrich]  
It’s the favorite thing in my inbox every day.

You don’t have to pay to subscribe, even though it seems like you do. I just gave my email address and didn’t opt to pay, and lo and behold, it worked. I’m thinking about paying anyways, though. Between him and Andy Borowitz, I think he’s going to win out.

Correction:

… campaign communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement … that there “was no physical altercation as described. … The fact is that a private photographer was permitted on the premises and for whatever reason an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to ~~physically block members of (Individual-ONE)'s team~~ [put up his thumb] during a very solemn ceremony.

As usual, I am appalled but not surprised.

Maybe he likes heroes who don’t get buried… in Arlington or elsewhere.

Kamala Harris’ strategy of keeping the mics on during the debate is beginning to sound brilliant.

Hubster and I watched that asshole tramping around with the wreath like _he’s_ the president. We both said almost at the same time, “What the hell is he doing there?”  
Could I go and ceremoniously place a wreath? I bet not.  
Maybe I need 34 felony convictions.  
That was definitely a campaign event. Shameful.

This is what I was wondering. He’s a candidate yes, but he’s just a private citizen otherwise. Why is he laying wreaths at all? I feel like I’m missing something here.

Also, trying to use dead soldiers as a campaign prop? Bold move.

Campaign propaganda. Soon you’ll see that in campaign ads.

They can’t argue with him or run away. Seems like a sound strategy.

Well, at least we know by this article that his fundraising seems to be going along fine. Or he’s just doing a side-grift to keep his reflex’s sharp. Or trying to recapture the “magic” of early days.

In an interview with Dr. Phil, Trump claims that “if Jesus came down and was the vote counter, I would win California.”

If Jesus came down, he would throw you lardass out of the Temple. Right after the lightning strike.

I’m surprised that there wasn’t an honor-guard garrison stationed there to take down any Rump Thugs that would attack any administrators stationed there.
