Quote:But on Wednesday night, the president talked through the “Retreat” bugle, a military tradition that serves to honor soldiers and veterans.
The president was speaking to one of his strongest supporters in the American media, Fox News’ Sean Hannity, at the Air National Guard in Middletown, Pennsylvania.
Mid-interview the “Retreat’ anthem started to play, and while others have stopped in their tracks to salute, stand to attention or pay their respects for the bugle, Trump sat with Hannity and continued to speak throughout it.
"What a nice sound that is," Trump said. "Are they playing that for you or for me?"
"They're playing that in honor of his ratings,” he said, referring to Hannity. "He's beating everybody.”
It bothered me when Fox News lost their fucking mind about Obama's coffee salute, so I won't get outraged over Trump's clear ignorance of military tradition. If he does it again, I think there's an issue.
I think stories like this, (and RawStory in general) detract from real stories of Trump's ineptitude.

Well, that picture is clearly shopped.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

As long as I have kids dependent on me, I can't simply up and leave the country. As long as Jordan is being withheld from me - and there is a chance, however small - that I can get my ex's guardianship revoked, I'm not leaving her behind.

"Retreat" is a much more solemn affair than the national anthem, as anyone who's served knows. It is that time of day when we ourselves remember the fallen. It's why "Retreat" is played before the national anthem.
What Trump did was much worse than protest ... it was farce. If you're okay with that, I don't know what to say. I wouldn't be caught dead dancing and laughing on the graves of the fallen ... but that's just me, I guess.
