'Those
veterans the president didn’t bother to honor fought in the rain,
in the mud, in the snow,' John Kerry writes.
“If
Dems can’t figure out how to make hay for days out of Trump not
visiting military cemetery on anniversary of conclusion of WWI
because of a little rain ... while other leaders attend ... they
really don’t deserve to win in 2020,” said Tucker Martin, a
former adviser to the Republican Governors Association who also ran
communications for Gov. Chris Christie’s Super PAC in 2016.
Of
course, I acknowledge unpayable debts*
all
of us owe U.S. World War I vets.
(Who, I
heard, died reclaiming French land
from
my ancestor Germans. But I understand.
I,
myself, was once all set to serve
until
the draft board, I gue$$, lo$t
their nerve.
FIVE TIME$ they decided I'd be deferred!
Me! A poor $tudent. A geniu$. Bone-$purred.)
It's
not I don't honor battle-dead vets. . .
(With dew respect, I dasn't get my hair wet
because
it's so thin. Whenever it rains
I
worry water will seep into my brains.
Yes,
I said BRAINS! Mine have extra parts.
That
is why I am so smart.)
(I prefer “heroes” not killed or captured†.
And
living suckers over those “raptured”.
All us great leaders are pickers and choosers.
And we don't choose dead, low-energy losers!)

the campaign trail, Donald Trump has said dealing with the nation’s
$18 trillion debt will be easy. One reason: Trump could just choose
to ignore it. That appears to be how Trump has dealt with some of the
debt on his own balance sheet. — Fortune,
