PARIS — President Donald Trump’s decision to cancel his visit to an American military cemetery outside of Paris threatened to overshadow his trip here, as government officials, historians and fellow Republicans hammered him for more than 24 hours for that move.
“President@realDonaldTrump a no-show because of raindrops? Those veterans the president didn’t bother to honor fought in the rain, in the mud, in the snow — & many died in trenches for the cause of freedom. Rain didn’t stop them & it shouldn’t have stopped an American president,” wrote former Secretary of State John Kerry, a veteran of the Vietnam War.
The internet lit up Saturday and Sunday with images of other world leaders braving gray skies to lay wreaths, unveil plaques and pay their respects at memorials and cemeteries outside of Paris during a weekend to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel lay a floral wreath on Saturday afternoon at Compiègne, the site where the agreement that stopped World War I was signed. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the World War I battlefield, Vimy Ridge, where he greeted Canadian veterans.
The White House opted to drop the trip for the president due to rainy weather because the president’s Marine One helicopter cannot fly in rain or fog.
Why are you on the attack? I don’t have a computer and infrequently the phone causes a post to duplicate. Spotty wifi service in the woods. I never said you insulted me, rather that I try not to insult others.
I thought you and others would be interested in Sander’s explanation. Sounds logical. How could that offend you?
When you say, TO ME, that YOU try to "never insult anyone", the inference/implication is that I insult others.
And WHERE/in which post, did I claim to be "offended" ?
Look, I'm sorry that you are having difficulty understanding my posts, have spotty wifi service ( I did ask, POLITELY, if you were having computer trouble, because that sometimes causes posts to be replicated over and over again; though usually in a row, which your post weren't ), and I didn't reply to anything regarding what Sanders said.
Okay?
I read all your 3 posts. Not to worry. I won’t make the mistake of responding to any of your posts again. Nopardons is in my hippocampus.
There’s a good mix of cattiness and bitchiness going on between the 4 of you over very petty issues in this thread.
I thought I signed up for a conservative forum, not this crap.
Okay, Ditzy Ford...congrats on making it 100% clear just what you are. LOL
FR has ALWAYS been a place for debate; however, sadly, some posters now have less than NO idea at all HOW to debate or even discuss a topic.
This thread disintegrated because one poster went off the rails and isn't equipped to debate, state facts, but turned it into something untoward and it certainly was not me.
Don't like it...go to a different thread.
Thanks for dismissing my comment out of hand with your 20+ year membership bragging, but I have the same right as you to reply to a thread within its context. Nothing I wrote was out of hand - I simply expressed surprise at the ridiculous level of personal attacks going on between all 4 participants.
Is this how you treat strangers? By dismissively calling them “n00bs”?
Oh you are indeed correct.
I just don’t always let out-of-line snide nastiness slide. Not easily.
Anyway, welcome to the forum.
I wasn't being snide; just informative.
There have been knock down drag out full blown WARS on this site. And compared to many others, my post on this thread have been more than benign.
I don't know what your expectations were, when you signed up, but from your post to me, which was out of hand, whatever you expected to find here, you aren't going to find it.
Hey Quas, we have a truce so cut it loose
Later
It is not a question of the chopper’s ability to fly in adverse weather. It is a question of the pilot’s ability to fly it safely. It is the visibility he has to see what obstacles are before him and the ability to land.
I live in the DC area and I do believe if the weather is poor, the president takes a motorcade to Andrews instead of the chopper.
Ironic that a POS who would spit on a Vet’s grave tries to complain that a man who actually honors Vets didn’t honor them enough.....
Is there another way that you would prefer to be libeled?
Me too. No commercials and I decide WHAT I want to watch and when.
I'd guess it's just like many countries. The average citizen is OK, but the politicians and the terrorists they use are not.
Wait? A news reporter spit on a grave? Why am I not surprised?

Really perfect TWILIGHT ZONE riff! :-)
Why should he mess up his hair
