Babylon Astronaut posted:I don't know. I always thought the entire point of an anthem is that it is sang together. Isn't it a theme song otherwise? It's a memorial service. You're supposed to act solemn, not somewhere between giddy and bored.

You'd be horribly embarrassed if your child did that, let alone an adult man who's responsible for commanding the soldiers who are still alive.

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.

I've tended to assume Greenwald just has a massive blindspot when it comes to Russia being bad because he's the type of anti-imperialist who thinks it's more important to focus on our country being bad, even at the expense of ignoring worse behavior by other countries. I still think that's most likely the case, with some added cognitive dissonance based on defending his previous actions, but it's hard not to see him as, at least, a useful idiot who parrots the same kind of rhetoric as actual Russian puppets like Assange. I'm not quite at the Louise Mensch jumping at shadows and calling everyone an actual Russian puppet just for having bad opinions stage yet, but the way Greenwald and others continue to downplay the Russia story, even as details continue to leak out all the time, is pretty sketchy.

In reality, they're mostly dumb kids who want to break poo poo.

Retro42 posted:I already know the answer but how could anyone on his staff let this happen? All it would take would be one semi-intelligent staffer to check his tweet before he posts it to see this was a BAD IDEA. Hell, if they can't keep the phone out of his hands at least have a staffer tasked with watching his feed and issuing a "What he meant to say was..." tweet within minutes. He lies to his staff, as the article about him misleading his national security team about his NATO speech proved. He does what he wants, and acts out when people try to stop him.
