People are saying it’s the greatest speech since Gettysburg.
For which presumably he will get high praise. The same way you praise grandad for remembering to wear pants.
Fuck.
CNN (paraphrasing): “This is what he wanted to do on Veterans Day and got talked out of.”
Is that a Trump “some people are saying”? As in, nobody is saying it? And anyway, Lincoln didn’t need no flyovers to punch up his speech.
Also, adding my thanks to El_Kabong for taking a bullet for the rest of us. No way in hell I was going to watch that shitshow.
And thanks from Australia too El Kabong.

“Some”?
“Many people are saying…”
The guy who made that speech was a Republican, too. A lot of people don’t know that. Can’t think of the guy’s name right now…
“EVERYONE is saying.”
Someone left my tank out in the rain
And I don’t think that I can take it
Cause it took so long to fake it
And I’ll never be the president again
Oh no

Also, something for next year. I keep thinking about Patton’s Ghost Army in WWII- we need some inflatable M1 Abrams.
Inexpensive to move, doesn’t damage pavement and if it fooled the Germans, imagine the others who could be fooled…
Well, one idiot of German extraction, anyway. And that would be enough.
Yes, precisely. Sorry if that was too dry.
I forced myself to listened as long as I could. I think I got through the first minute. Right up until he listed the military branches and added “…and coming very soon, The Space Force”. <click>
What a fucking moron.
Hang on, who is saying this? 4chan? They must think it’s the address of the White House.
“People come up to me; they came up to me; they come up to me all the time and they say, they say ‘Sir, that speech you just gave was the greatest speech since Gettysburg! It was even better than Gettysburg!’ Prolly the greatest speech in the history the world, some people say; that’s what I hear; maybe it was maybe it wasn’t but people are saying it was.”
No sightings of inflated Trump baby balloon?

Psst! **Spoons ** isn’t American so he’s not a traitor.
Dunno -bout that commie-fascist thing, though. Maybe he votes UCP provincially and NDP federally. ![]()
So, were the free VIP seats all full? How about the rest of the Mall?
They had it grounded behind some trees past the reflecting pool.
CNN showed it being inflated just before the dumpster fire took the stage to blather. It wasn’t quite full enough to float in all its glory. Somebody missed their opportunity.
ETA: It was grounded??
