I see Corporal Bone Spurs has ditched a scheduled visit to a WWI Cemetery today because it was too wet.
Wanker.

In a nutshell; GOP, the trailer trash party.

He could have taken a brolly... and left Melania out in the rain as usual.
Declining paying respect to 1800 dead Americans. A bit of rain never stopped him playing golf.
Arsehole.
^^ I reckon Trump's got a secret service detail assigned to just his hair.
Macron, Trump in show of unity after row over European security
French and US leaders hold 'very constructive' meeting, official says, after a spat over remarks on EU security.
French President Emmanuel Macron has sought to defuse a dispute with his US counterpart, hailing the "great solidarity" between the two countries after Donald Trump blasted his proposals for a European army.
An official in the French presidency said on Saturday the two leaders held a "very constructive" bilateral meeting in the French capital, which came hours after a scathing tweet by Trump on Macron's suggestion.
Trump is currently in Paris to participate in events marking the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
The Elysee Palace official told the AFP news agency there had been a "misunderstanding" and that Trump - who called Macron's comments "very insulting" - told the French leader: "I think we are much closer than it seems."
Meanwhile, in yet another sign of a growing European Union-US tension, EU chief Donald Tusk accused Trump of being averse to a "strong and united" Europe.

^Wonder what Corporal Bone Spurs is whispering in her ear?
did he really not show up for the ceremony ? I find this hard to believe, can't be that stupid really,
I think something else, probably a secret meeting with Putin on Air Force One at the Bourget
You're kidding right.
The US president, who had flown in to the French capital on Friday, had been due to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery yesterdayon Saturday, where American and French troops repelled the Germans in 1918, but called it off because of the rain. That sparked incredulity among some of Trump’s critics: Nicholas Soames, the Conservative MP and grandson of Sir Winston Churchill, tweeted: “They died with their face to the foe and that pathetic inadequate @realDonaldTrump couldn’t even defy the weather to pay his respects to The Fallen #hesnotfittorepresenthisgreatcountry.”

I really hope this gets a LOT of coverage. Not exactly the behaviour of a patriot who supports the troops. With any luck it'll come back to bite him in the ass big time.
The dems really need to start stashing these things away to be bought up at election time.
And now this.....
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-draws-ire-firefighters-celebrities-tweet-about-california-fires-n934856The leader of the union that represents a majority of California's firefighters said Saturday that President Donald Trump should apologize for blaming the state's deadly wildfires on "poor" forest management.The Camp Fire in northern California reduced the town of Paradise to rubble and claimed the lives of 23 people, Butte County Sheriff Kory L. Honea said. In addition, two bodies were found Friday in the Malibu area, within the 75,000-acre Woolsey Fire zone, Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said.
"There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor," Trump tweeted early Saturday.
He threatened to cut off federal funding for forest management, although it wasn't clear if he was speaking of the U.S. Forest Service or state agencies.
"The firefighters and the communities in this state deserve an apology," said Brian Rice, president of the California Professional Firefighters union.
What an all round piece of shit he is.
“If we stop testing right now we’d have very few cases, if any.” Donald J Trump.
And his answer is to,
Breathtaking idiocy. Depressing childishness.
Putting it mildly.
Definitely. I'd love to see a side by side clip of Trump lambasting Kaepernick and exhorting his boss to sack him with news reports of Trump's not going to the memorial service.
California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, the most pro-Russia Republican in Congress for decades, just lost his seat to Democrat Harley Rouda. The Associated Press called the race for Rohrabacher on Saturday night.
That’s bad news for the politician who’s been referred to as Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “favorite congressman.” Rohrabacher used secret documents from Moscow to remove a Kremlin enemy’s name from a global anti-corruption law and has boasted about drunkenly arm-wrestling Putin in the 1990s. The FBI worried that Russian spies wanted to recruit him.
Even Rohrabacher’s own party knows how close he is to Russia. “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy said in 2016. He later claimed it was a joke.
The loss is quite the fall from grace for the 15-term Congress member who was rumored at one point to be under consideration for the role of Trump’s secretary of state.
Rouda, a former Republican turned Democrat, flipped the long-held California seat mainly by focusing on Rohrabacher’s close Russia ties. He played ads showing Rohrabacher’s fondness for Putin and his rejection of a 2017 US intelligence assessment that said Russia tried to influence the 2016 elections.
“Rep. Rohrabacher has said that 17 U.S. intelligence agencies that were staffed by working men and women from diverse backgrounds, including our U.S. military ... were all wrong,” and that “the Russians had nothing to do with meddling with our elections,” Rouda said during an October debate.
Clearly, he found a winning message.
What Rohrabacher’s loss means for Trump
President Donald Trump wants the US to have better relations with Russia, in part because he would rather not antagonize another world power.
Rohrabacher strongly supported that agenda in Congress. “Yes, we should cooperate with Russia now that it’s no longer our major threat,” he said during the same debate with Rouda in October. “Right now we have to deal with radical Islam and China, and Russia. We should cooperate where we can with Russia, rather than being unrelentingly hostile.”
Without Rohrabacher’s voice in Congress or on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, it will be even harder for Trump to find Republicans who want better relations with Moscow as much as he does.
Instead, Democrats — who now control the House — will try to thwart Trump’s foreign policy. A major component of that will include looking into alleged connections between Trump and Russia and possibly strengthening sanctions on Moscow.
And that explains why Russia is unhappy with the midterm election results, or at least what we know of them so far. “It’s fair to suggest with a high degree of confidence there are no glowing prospects in terms of normalization of US-Russian relations on the horizon,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.
It looks like Rohrabacher’s dream — and Trump’s — may have been lost along with his seat.
