Ummmm, did the MSM break into normal programming

[maxrandb]

when President Obama or Bush visited the troops?

Or is it that this is such a rare occurrence with Donnie Shit for Brains that they had to.

It's "let's normalize the amphibian turd" day.

Let's see... General Hospital, or a fake president showing fake appreciation for troops that are required to fake that they give one fuck about Donnie Short Fingers and his pornstar wife...

I'm picking General Hospital... it's more believable

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. Our media always treat cons in general very differently than dems.

Something a dem must do to avoid controversy like visit the troops will be treated like someone found the fountain of youth if a filthy con does it , especially this filthy traitor.

We have rules for dems, none for cons.

[rusty fender]

2. You're right

The MSM didn’t break in to regular programming when the POTUSES of past years visited the troops

What gives

[Yonnie3]

5. It's a Christmas miracle, I'm telling you!

Truly a miracle worthy of such coverage.

An orange porcine apparition appeared to the troops in a (slightly late) Christmas miracle.

How low can the bar go, just how frigging low?

[rusty fender]

9. LOLOLOL!

So true, so true

[former9thward]

21. Yes they did.

You have a selective memory.

[Sneederbunk]

3. An act of humanity by this president is above the fold.

[EleanorR]

4. Nobody's fooled by this stunt.

He didn't go until after he was criticized. Somebody told him he better get off his whiney ass and go, especially after skipping the visit to the cemetery in France and then skipping Arlington.

[maxrandb]

6. Wouldn't have happened if he was able to go to Mar o Lago

Is there a golf course in Iraq?

[erronis]

17. Yeah, but nothing except sand traps.

Kidding, of course.

I hear the Euphates and Tigris valleys are lush and ripe for golf course development.

You know there are certain levels of courses from --- to +++ to champion to ??? (I'm too lazy and don't GAS to look them up.)

The new trump-flavored courses will be (supposed to be IED challenged.)

[njhoneybadger]

23. My idiot trump supporting relatives are fooled by it

[EleanorR]

25. I guess I meant those unafflicted by unadulterated adulation

Not much, if any, critical thinking going on with his cult, so no surprise there.

[teamster633]

27. His "stylist" told him it was safe to go...

...since it was unlikely to rain in Iraq.

[underpants]

7. They did for W

First for the MISSION ACCOMPLISHED thing - that was actually a planned daylong extravaganza. Second was a Thanksgiving appearance I remember seeing waiting for a football game. This was the fake turkey incident if memory serves.

[louis-t]

10. The fake turkey was when I first came here.

I was the one who looked at the photo and figured out that a real turkey would be much heavier and he wouldn't have been able to handle it that easily. The good old days.

[underpants]

11. 😄

[WillowTree]

29. But it was only made public after AF1 had left Iraqui airspace. It was totally hush-hush 'til then.

[Soxfan58]

8. They want to see him

Fuck even that up.

[hedda_foil]

12. They announced it after he was on the ground. Same for Bush*.

They went into active war zones. He's not.

[John Fante]

13. It's Trump's long awaited pivot, I tell ya!

Has Michael Moore called Trump an evil genius for doing this? Where's a teary-eyed Van Jones to tell us how presidential this moment is?

[getagrip_already]

18. Yeah, and Jamie Carville will state dems are now toast...

And the nyt will run a series of negative articles on Hillary.

[ffr]

14. I'm okay with it so long as they run the headline Draft Dodger Trump Bone Spurs visits...

Bad timing on his part.

[mountain grammy]

15. 11 presidents in my lifetime, won't count dumbass as one,

and it never happened that I remember, but guess it wasn't a fucking Christmas miricle.

[elmac]

16. I think tRump will get 10 years

a big 10 year reality show contract when he gets the boot, I'm sure they want to keep him in the limelight, protect their investment.

[radical noodle]

19. Actually, on a news station the answer was usually yes

Some of those visits were planned in secret to avoid the president being targeted so it would have been a surprise and would have been newsworthy. It's a bigger surprise with trump, because he so rarely does what he should.

[EffieBlack]

20. Yes, they did

[technotwit]

22. wAR zONE

I think he'll give himself a Purple Heart for going to Iraq.

[djacq]

24. Coincidence?;

[link:https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/26/us/politics/trump-vietnam-draft-exemption.html|

Over 58,000 American Service Members were killed in the Vietnam War.

[Cha]

26. Breaking in to show the Traitor and his birther barbie

campaigning with the American Soldiers.

[GulfCoast66]

28. I believe they did.
