Originally published at: Cemetery Staffer Declines To Press Charges For Fear Of Retaliation
A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo. Sign up for the email version. The Thuggery Continues … The fascist overtones from the Arlington National Cemetery incident are unmistakeable: a presidential campaign run like a gang, with enforcers shoving aside a public servant enforcing the rules and a mob…
Good morning
Random Task there needs a good slap upside the head.
MAGA is trying to say the family authorized these photos and the campaign stunt so it’s okay. That’s false and a lie. There was an official photographer there from Arlington. The campaign wanted their guys. Arlington does that to make sure other families aren’t caught up against their wishes. That’s on top of it being a campaign staffer which is literally against Federal law. They were told that and then assaulted an Army official when she wouldn’t budge. Do you see that grave on the left? Major Navas. His family didn’t get to approve his grave being included in Trump’s stunt. You see that family visiting their loved one way in the back? They didn’t get to approve being included in this ridiculous smiling picture as they mourned. That’s why they have the rules and official photographers. Because this family doesn’t get to over rule the others and use their families for this campaign stunt. Not even for that fucking loser and former failed President Trump
People are noticing and NOT happy
The family of a fallen Green Beret is not happy Trump filmed a TikTok and took pictures in the section of Arlington cemetery where the soldier is buried: report (msn.com)

Family of Green Beret buried in Arlington cemetery ‘clearly displeased’ by Trump: Haberman - Raw Story
“Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate’s campaign. Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants,”
And the woman from Arlington Cemetery is backing down. No charges, because the bully and his flying monkeys push back. TCF has been getting away w this shit for too long.
Can we just say this is about the money?
Who, in control of any part of America, isn’t going to be better off if Trump cuts taxes on the rich?
Money is the problem. They rich get what they want no matter how ignorant and facetious they are.
Fat Elvis’s jackbooted Brownshirt thugs will continue with these tactics because people are afraid of their lunatic cultists.
I have no more words.
I’m sorry for the loss experienced by the Gold Star family who invited TMF to visit their soldier’s grave, but they are clearly clueless gits who don’t care that he thinks their solder was a sucker and a loser.
WTF! Are those her pajamas?
If it weren’t for the background of those images, I would have guessed she was at Wal-Mart.
press charges? Election interference!

his trademark thumbs up sign.
Donald’s trademark is so weak not even small market talents use thumbs-up as a trademark anymore.
