(28,941 posts)Clue burner alert
Memorial Day is not a day for celebration or picnics or sales or "Ain't I special" tweets. It's the one freaking day of the year when we should remember of those millions who placed themselves, as it says in our National Anthem, between their beloved home and war's devastation. Then, paid the ultimate price.
Do you have any idea how most of them paid that price? I doubt it, but here goes: Cut in half by flying debris, burned to a crisp, blown to bits, drowned, smothered, gagging up their melting lungs (mustard gas), bleeding out from an arm or leg torn by a mini ball, their guts spilling out. Damn few of them died from neat bullet hole to the forehead. Some of them so completely destroyed that even their names are lost. That's why it's called The Tomb of the Unknown. Then there's the MIAs (that's missing in action). Oh, a few finally come home, but most are gone forever. Those are some battle causalities. I won't bother you with all the ugly ones caused by disease. Until WWII the disease causality rate was higher than the battle ones.
Now secondary effect: Family and friends - love lost, work undone, dreams unfulfilled, children unborn or left orphans, futures destroyed, questions unanswered, pain that never completely goes away.
So yeah, those of us who experienced the above like having the bone fragments of the guy next to us having his head blown off get embedded in our back or getting a phone call from his sobbing mother that your fiance was killed when his chopper was shot down, excuse us, but we do think Marie Ivanka's tweet is negative. Can't speak for others, but this ole sarge and wife of a combat PTSD victim thinks it's fucking disgusting.
Oh yeah, clue burner for the faux princess: Memorial Day is not a day to thank veterans or active duty personnel. There is another day for that; it's call Veterans Day. It's 11 November, but don't bother. Your 'thanks' is worthless.

Families like hers celebrate, while families like ours contemplate.

(28,941 posts)An aircraft is shot up or for whatever reason starts going down, pilot or some of the crew make it out, hit the silk and disappear into the clouds. They're never heard from again. Were they killed, captured or ...? Happen many times during the Vietnam War.
Was that stat world wide or only US?

(32,634 posts)I know it was directed at Her Royal Highness Ivanka but this should open all of our eyes.
I believe the Gold Star families at Arlington Cemetery were silently seething yesterday.
Trump used their private grief to get TV ratings, but they were too polite to complain.
Haven't these families sacrificed enough already?
What a family of assholes!

It's simply astonishing that she parks herself in the middle of the most corrupt West Wing ever,
is a part of the 3rd cruelest political party in the history of this country (short of the pro-slavers, and 1960's anti civil righters),
and thinks she can tweet about picnic ideas... hahahahaha!
Don't they have anyone in their lives with their feet on the ground?
Wow!

(243 posts)Champagne popsicles don't last long in either jungles or deserts. I have no expectations that these rich kids would have any idea of what that would be like. I was drafted for Vietnam while Ivanka's old man was sitting out the war doing sex and drugs. It's in the genes.

But her father is the resident president and she's involved in her office.

(11,093 posts)How about this? Let's suggest that Ivanka quits her new top-level Daddy's Handler day job and works in a champagne popsicles factory. Let's demand she donates 100% of the profit to help care for Vietnam Veterans who DID NOT get the deferments her father did.

(6,974 posts)About how "elitist" Michelle, Barack, Bill & Hillary are ....
I've never seen or read about such an elitist bunch of a moral grifting, out of touch assholes in my LIFE like this bunch of crooks and criminals "occupying" the White House.
If it's not treasonous tRump costing taxpayers a mint just so he can go play a few rounds of bad golf in Florida with his fat ass at his place of grift Mar-a-Logo, or if its not Malaria talking about slathering the 10 year old with Caviar or about her wearing a $50,000 coat or living in tRumptin towers like a queen in a castle, or if it's not his sons Uday & Qusay murdering hibernating bears, or if they're mostly all traveling to "Fun and expensive" Aspen to ski and frolic which costs the taxpayers MILLIONS, it's that complicit, tone deaf, elitist, daughter-wife Ivunka selling or talking about some stupid ass dress or necklace in her clothing line and today on Memorial's Day--a day to honor our soldiers dead and still with us--for their love & service to our country, she's on Neptune talking out of her ass about a got damn champagne Popsicle recipe: Popsicles made out of champagne Yeah, Champagne on an elderly Veteran's budget who won't even be able to receive a Meals on Wheels Dinner eventually thanks to her putin-loving, rotten, draft-dodging daddy, or she's talking about "busting" her treasonous husband Crooked Kushner for allowing their kid to eat a damn doughnut with sprinkles on it, this cow--YES, I said COW--is one of the most elitist persons in politics I've EVER seen or read about in my life (And I thought Nancy Reagan was out of touch). She is SO out of touch and tone-deaf about everyday LIFE and about the lives and struggles of everyday people it isn't funny.
The fall of THESE Romanov's (Take it anyway you want to) cannot happen soon enough for me (Minus the 10 year old--Don't know anything about Tiffany).

Close enough. It's got her name on it, and no...it's not her personal page, but it's still "official Ivanka."
