The president acting like a child during the Arlington memorial day ceremony is what is wrong, though. It doesn't matter, he's a giant douchebag, but there's not a president in my memory who could act like this, on this day, at this ceremony and not be called out for it.

Ignoring the bad PR they would get for saying the opposite, the fossil fuel business also have a great interest in having a say in the development and implementation of these agreements. And they get much less power over the outcome if their most powerful partner just backs out.

PT6A posted:Do Americans typically not sing the lyrics to their national anthem when it's playing? I mean, it's odd that he's the only one doing it, but other than that it doesn't seem strange. Hell if I know the reason for that particular piece of etiquette, but it is what it is and it's pretty loving nuts to see the President be unable to control himself for 30 seconds. I personally don't have any feelings about him disrespecting the troops or whatever, but it's always alarming to see such infantile behavior from, again, the President of the United States.

I'm just waiting for him to drop trou or wet himself publicly. I'm just kinda curious what will happen. Public nudity and/or incontinence are ust about the only remaining norms he hasn't violated.

Of course it's not inappropriate: if the president can't sing the song that represents the cause these soldiers died for in their memory, then it's loving pointless to have it. The problem is him grinning ear to ear patting his chest and swaying along as he half remembers the only song he is expected to know the lyrics to. He looks demented. If his head was partially bowed, he was standing still, and he clearly was singing the song as written and not "oooh oooh red glare...... something something, home aw aw bwave" no one would even notice it had happened.

Yeah if he'd been standing relatively still and looked half-way serious and sang from the start, very few people would comment. But he looks like he gets bored. Starts swaying, starts patting his chest, starts singing half-way through. I mean it's almost nothing in the grand scheme of "how has Trumped hosed up" but goddamn.

Reminder that the @POTUS Twitter account is, with like 99.9% certainty, never ever personally controlled by Trump, rather a member of the White House communications staff. There's a very real reason why the empty platitudes were posted there and not from @realDonaldTrump.

Ogmius815 posted:That's actually the right way to discuss terrorists. After he London bus bombing the British police talked about the terrorists like they were petty criminals or "punks", that's even better. The wrong thing to do is to discuss the terrorists like the US media does, which gives them a kind of mystique. Not that I am saying that the American media is using the proper narrative against terrorism but the narrative the British are using doesn't appear to deter or combat terrorism any better.

The point isn't that Trump disrespected arr troops, it's that he's fundamentally incapable of recognizing what actions are appropriate or inappropriate. This instance doesn't particularly "matter," but it's indicative of a broader problem that is very serious for someone in his position to have.

Having attended this very event years ago and still having it sitting in my memory as one of the most profound moments in my national identity, I can tell anyone not seeing the problem here, with confidence, that you and your intellectual dishonesty in insisting that you can't see what Trump is doing here can gently caress right the gently caress off and take a long hard look at the caricature of a patriot you have become.

So the problem is with Trump grinning and bobbing and swaying, and tapping along with the beat on his chest, right? Not singing the words? This may surprise some people, but anthem etiquette differs between countries so this stuff isn't obvious to non-Americans.

It could be the custom of solemnity and respect for the dead, in particular respect for people killed in wars, which basically all humans ever understand and participate in. Or "American anthem etiquette." Yes, that might be it too. E. in case it's not clear, this is the commander in chief of the military at the nation's most hallowed military cemetery while the national anthem is being played before a formal ceremony to honor the nation's war dead on a national holiday dedicated to the remembrance of war dead.
