The Telltale Heart

A video shows depth of feeling. I cannot picture Obama or Hillary showing this kind of character.

To all the Never Rights I locked horns with on the “character” issue, imagine me selecting to emphasize this point with a specific finger.

    Great video clip. It seems consistent with Mr. Trump’s character.

    He’s a man of the people, and a happy warrior. Perfectly in keeping.

    Bending over to pick up the hat literally would have killed Hillary.

    A technical question.

    Why did the wind blow off the one guys hat and not the other guys hat? Is there a trick to keep those things on in the wind? The military is usually prepared for anything.

    I remember my brother telling me he was out in gale force winds preparing to leave on a P3-Orion. They decided to cancel the flight but thought it was good to send the guys out in the wind.

    I wanna know if the guy who lost his cover has been/will be written up/NJP’d for the infraction. That said: Rah! & S/F, Mr. President! Respect, sir!

      P.S. Now, now, TKC…Tsk, tsk, tsk.

    • MLHMLH says:

      I’m guessing not. The wind looked pretty strong and he kept his post.

        I am sure his buddies will give him a hard time though. When is it permissible to secure your hat in a strong wind?

        My brother almost got color guard duty in the Marine Corps. Pretty boring stuff he said.

        Whew, hope not…The ribbing will be enough. :-)

      Depends on how big an idiot his CO is.

      He stood his post. Note he did not salute because in the Marine Corps you do not salute if you are uncovered. However, when President Trump put his cover back on he might have saluted – and kept it from flying off the second time.

      But TKC is right – you’d never have seen either Clinton or Obama do what Trump did. It would be beneath them.

    I disagree on Obama. Every president who was physically capable (thus not Wilson, FDR, and perhaps JFK) would have picked it up. FDR and JFK would still have pointed to it to direct the Air Force aide to pick it up. Obama and Bill Clinton would have really played it up.

    Even if she was physically capable, Hillary probably would not have.

    Are you kidding? Lance is STILL doing push-ups.

    I knew it! Sock, footwear (both socks and boots) get holey – note that I didn’t say ‘holy’ – and wear out. Hence, not ‘always faithful’, although they come close.

    • 10 Cents10 Cents says:

      What you say is holey friction. Do you know wear faithfulness happens.
