Professional troll guy:

When asked if challenging people was inextricable from a willingness to offend them, he considered the question and answered, “Yes.”

A dude who thinks nobody can learn without his unique dumbshittery act. Not the pusher guy though. Presumably?

Typical Men in Black fantasist in ego-boosting sunglasses. Trump hires the best trolls and douchebros.

Imagine hating yourself, and hating the world so much, and having so little self-respect that you have to stoop to working for Donald Trump. True of every Republican, I suppose.

Michel Picard is a tacticool bro. WIlliam Gibson writes about them beautifully in his Blue Ant trilogy, the market between military procurement and fashion makes som guys. He propably dreams of invading Venezuela.

Trump probably had permission from one or two of the families. The problem is, that doesn’t matter. There is an entire cemetery full of dead people who gave their lives for their country, and those people cannot speak for themselves or whether they want their grave included in a campaign ad for a man who used his family influence to avoid military service. That, and Arlington has a clear policy prohibiting political photo shoots there. It sounds like his campaign was reminded of this beforehand, and ignored it. Then, when a cemetery employee tried to do her job, she was pushed aside by MAGA asshole staffers wearing Men in Black sunglasses. Trump spokes-asshole Steven Cheung diagnosed the woman with a mental health issue. That comment alone should prompt sanctions against the campaign and other consequences. It’s an outrageous statement to make. Then, the woman was too afraid to continue her complaint, which is understandable and probably wise, as the MAGA cult will do anything to harm anyone who dares speak ill of their Dear Leader. San we please retire this horrific movement in November?

“Do you notice that the person represented now doesn’t want to talk, he [sic] doesn’t want to speak or talk?

That's because she's too afraid of retaliation by Trumpanzees. I hope she's ok.

Its just a full-on mafia response. Im still so puzzled why a lot of americans want a stupid version of Sonny Corleone in charge.

Figures a traitor would be involved in the shoving, although I too, had my money on Lewandowski.

I think any of them would assault a woman. Some of them are probably just sneakier about it.

"...so we can know what he looks like." Yes, I most certainly would like to know what this brave model of American masculinity looks like. Perhaps he could challenge Steven Miller for Miller's long-held position of America's Most Punchable Face. (Please don't banhammer me. It's only a fictional title.)

Shady Vance is gunning for that top spot. Of course it'll shed a large amount of pubic hair once you punch it!

“This, of course, directly conflicts the statement from his sweaty spokes-ham Steven Cheung …” First of all, 😆😆😆. Second of all, it appears Mr. Cheung has failed to learn the first rule of Fight Club: Apprentice Edition. Never talk about Fight Club until your asshole boss talks about Fight Club because he is 100% guaranteed to contradict you and then blame you for the discrepancy. Anyone willing to sell their soul and work for that abomination deserves all the humiliation and scorn heaped upon them, so they should just be prepared for it.

Serious question:

I understand that the woman who was assaulted chose not to press charges, because she feared for her life/safety.

This being the case, can anyone else bring a complaint on her behalf, e.g. State vs. Trump? BTW, I know that the Army has already closed the matter on their books.

The Army came down pretty hard with their "Meh, what can you do, right?" stance

There's the assault, and then there's the violating federal law by filming in Section 60. The victim of the assault can decline to press charges, but the other is a crime that needs to be prosecuted.

Just like the Butler shooter, who, despite being a basement dwelling incel, had NO online presence.
