Same vibe:
Irish man leaves funny recording for his funeral
These two pics need to be slapped together.
🎵 The day the speedforce died.... 🎵
That's a weird way to pose in a cemetery, unless you were happy the person is dead. Bunch of weirdos.
They are, remember? Trump said only suckers and losers go to war.
Since security will be tight around Trump's grave, being a former president and all, happy expressions and poses is all people will have.
The kid on his mother's hips has the right emotion.
All the kids in there look like they don’t want to be in this.
So gross in so many ways.
If this is supposed to be a shot at Biden/Harris for releasing the bomber, as they like to do with the previous "Bigrant Crime" initiative, the Dept of Defense seems to disagree:
Yeah they're just going to ignore that. And the fact that Trump obliterated any chance to maintain the Afghan government by cutting them out of the negotiations. The fact that Trump made no effort to remove local allies even though he was drawing forces down and knew we would leave within a few a years.
The situation at Abbey Gate could not have been avoided by anything short of a divine act during Biden's presidency. That stuff had to be done by Trump and it wasn't.
With 5 other people doing the thumbs up. America has a major cult problem. The founding fathers probably never imagined a cult taking over a major political party.
Guy towards the left's smile fading after he realized Donald didn't want to be seen anywhere near him. Donald is truly despicable.
He's a goddamn sociopath.
I guarantee he thought to make sure they looked like they were having a good time meeting him and said "put a grin on and a thumbs up because your sheeple and if you don't I'll have my guys put their guns up your butt until you do."
If they're the types of people who would willing pose with Trump by their dead family members' graves, I guarantee they needed no coercing to do that. Except for the poor kids, of course.
Look at the veteran with the prosthetic arm in the back, he is not giving the thumbs up 🤦♂️
Leg, too. Were I him I'd have offered the prosthetic for 45 to shake hands with me, and make sure someone got the pics of his revulsion.
Sick fucks.
A lot of those thumbs ups are presumably the dead marine's family too. Like, they get to decide how they grieve, but man.
Slightly off topic, but doesn't Trump claim to be 6'3"? Dude behind him on the left must be a fucking giant.
That's just begging for some photoshop.
The man on the end at the far right is Utah Governor Spencer Cox-R.
Claims to hang out for photo ops with Weird Convict 34 and not campaigning here. Rrrright. Cox must not know that campaigning is the only thing Sleepy DonOLD knows to do. Sad!
Lot of weird shit in this pic.
Besides the obvious problems, those are some weak ass thumbs up from everyone who has the poor taste to even try.
Oh, and the guy off to the left who can't give a thumbs up with his right hand anymore, even if he was so inclined.
There's just so much to this picture.
Doesn't Trump always gave secret service with him? How did nobody know this wasn't allowed there?
That's not their job. They just make sure he does not get shot... Oh...
It’s like they’re approving of the guy’s death.
Gross
Here's a website to donate in support of the green beret in the grave on the left (whose family did not approve of the grave being photographed) that died by suicide in 2020. The family has come out saying that they never agreed to have his grave in the photos and that they want the photos taken down as his death is still very painful to them and they would like to be able to grieve in peace.

I hope to do this on somebody's grave site some day when they've died of natural causes. Potentially urinate too.
"Press F to disrespect the troops that you were directly responsible for their deaths."
