1. Coward Trump MIA

What do they do to traitors who derelict their duty?

[Siwsan]

2. I just can't.........

Thank you, France, for honoring our war dead. It's enraging that the guy in the White House couldn't be bothered to do this, but it would have involved putting down his Big Mac and turning off his TV.

[TruckFump]

27. And getting his hair mussed up.

Fuck you, Prez Bonespurs.

[underpants]

3. Wow. That's a real slap in Trump's face

[mitch96]

4. As my French friends would say

Va te faire foutre Monsieur tRump...

5. This makes me want to cry nt

[ThingsGottaChange]

22. It DID make me cry

It's all just to much anymore.

6. Our "president" couldn't even bother showing up

Apparently his bone spurs were acting up again

7. Hubby had a good point

This should not be seen as a snub at Moron.

This is what honorable people routinely do; this is what good friends do for each other.

Thank you France.

[Amaryllis]

29. THat is a very important point. Thank you for posting, and please thank hubby. I interpret it as

support from our friends because they know we need it. And simply because as you said it is the honorable thing to do.

[sarge43]

30. Thanks, Amaryllis. I will let him know.

When I'm in my "No prisoners!" mode, his "look at it this way" levels me out.

I know it's routine for ambassadors to attend the ceremony, but this year was especially meaningful.

Merci la bell France

8. I'd rather be French than Russian you traitor.

[PeeJ52]

9. Let's see tRump try

to blame the secret service not letting him go to Arlington... FAKE EXCUSE!!!

[Peacetrain]

10. Stunned.. that is where I am at right now.. stunned

[kairos12]

11. Thank you France

This scene is way too appropriate and accurate today.

[ALBliberal]

12. Doesn't look like rain!! NT

[nonpareil]

13. Thank you France

Merci beaucoup.

[Achilleaze]

14. Thank you France, for always being an honorable friend to America

We apologize for the draft-dodging, bigmouth a-hole the republicans and russians have foisted on our once great nation.

[Raster]

15. Viva la France!

Fuck you, Donald tRump*.

[DesertRat]

16. k&r!

[raging moderate]

17. Merci beaucoup, France!

Un beau geste.

[IronLionZion]

18. Our president constantly shows us how he feels about our troops and veterans

and it's quite different from what he says.

[pazzyanne]

19. Thank you, France!

France has had our backs right from the beginning, and they continue to go the extra mile for us in 2018! God bless the USA and France!

[gademocrat7]

20. K&R

23. LOVE France!!!!

[Iggo]

24. Ouch.

That one hurts.

[Farmer-Rick]

25. Cowards never honor the courage of others

It takes an honorable man to recognize and celebrate the courage others have displayed. Lazy fat slobs just can't get themselves motivated to honor what they don't have.

[iluvtennis]

26. Trump is an a-hole. If it's not about him, he really doesn't care.

[Vinca]

28. It's hard to imagine he couldn't drag his lazy ass out of the White House for that.

I don't see rain. He wouldn't have to get his toesies wet. The creature on his head would stay dry. I hope people in the military will start giving this character the respect he deserves: none.

[Hekate]

31. With heartfelt thanks to our oldest ally...

And deep shame that our "president" is in a sulk and cannot be bothered.

[Achilleaze]

32. Thanks France, for honoring America's veterans

Even if the republicans were too damn busy watching TV, and feeding their flabby chickenhawk faces, to give a shit about the men and women who sacrificed to keep the USA safe.
