      She’s being attacked for advocating for the living, whilst the day is supposed to be about honoring the dead.

      Pedantic, semantic, trivial >>>> today’s 'merica.

        Fourth-dimensionally she’s honoring the dead before they’ve died.

        Seems like Conservatives just needed a way to be mad at her about something again. And this is the best they’ve got.

        She’s being mocked for demonstrating that she does not know what Memorial Day is about, or apparently even what “memorial” means.

    For balance, here’s a bit of Trump:

    However, in another post on Truth Social, Trump wrote about his various legal issues, particularly taking aim at writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused the former president of defamation and sexual assault. Trump was found liable for defamation earlier this year and ordered to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages.

    “Happy Memorial Day to All, including the Human Scum that is working so hard to destroy our Once Great Country, & to the Radical Left, Trump Hating Federal Judge in New York that presided over, get this, TWO separate trials, that awarded a woman, who I never met before (a quick handshake at a celebrity event, 25 years ago, doesn’t count!), 91 MILLION DOLLARS for ‘DEFAMATION,’” Trump wrote in the post.

    "She didn’t know when the so-called event took place - sometime in the 1990’s - never filed a police report, didn’t have to produce the ‘dress’ that she threatened me with (it showed negative!), & sung my praises in the first half of her CNN Interview with Alison Cooper, but changed her tune in the second half - Gee, I wonder why (UNDER APPEAL!)?

    “The Rape charge was dropped by a jury! Or Arthur Engoron, the N.Y. State Wacko Judge who fined me almost 500 Million Dollars (UNDER APPEAL) for DOING NOTHING WRONG, used a Statute that has never been used before, gave me NO JURY, Mar-a-Lago at $18,000,000 - Now for Merchan!”

    Find an American that has any reverance for Memorial Day and how it started, compared to the number of Americans that only care about being a paid day off but not holiday it is.

    We also deserve a rep who doesn’t support those trying to kill Americans. Remember her whole death to America ?
