On The 18th Anniversary Of The 9-11 Attacks



The eighteenth anniversary of the 9-11 attack was commemorated this morning in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania. Every year, the names of the fallen are read at the Twin Towers memorial in Manhattan, the Pentagon and at the site of the crash of flight 93 near Shanksville, PA. Following the attacks, we were united as a country in our resolve to rebuild and to bring the terrorists to justice.

Sadly, this day was marred by narcissist and tweeting twat Donald "The Chosen One" Trump, who made the day about himself, his poll numbers, Hillary Clinton and the media. This is the same depraved moron whose first thought after the Twin Towers were brought down was that he then had the tallest building in lower Manhattan.

Just days before, Trump had planned to stage a despicable photo op at Camp David with Taliban leaders, the group that sheltered and provided support to al Qaeda before and after 9-11 and that continues to attack our forces in Afghanistan. It's likely that neo-con former National Security Advisor John "Loose Bolt" Bolton lost his job over his adamant opposition (probably leaked to the media) to the outrageous scenario.

This morning, almost as an afterthought following his whining about the press and poll numbers, Trump tweeted out an insincere tribute that was quickly met with scorn.
