Five former Presidents come together for the relief of hurricane victims. But none were wearing ties. Why?

That is really sad when contemplated.

The only good thing that would arise from the NWO.

I despise those things since I can remember.

It was a country/rock concert; ties would look ridiculous.

I noticed and my guess was maybe G. Herbert Walker Bush can’t physically wear a tie and they didn’t want to further make him different?

Amazing. Five former presidents and not a one of them worth crossing the street to spit on.

I have worn one six or seven days a week for over 40 years. Five work days, Sunday, and maybe going out to dinner on Saturday. The only break was on vacation when I refused to even pack a tie in case there was some event that may require one to be worn.

Useless decoration on a male, period!

And I thought conspiracies were outlawed after JFK. Maybe it’s just a coincidence?

There should’ve been lines of folks protesting these globalists, at A&M.

Have you seen just about everyone lately who can’t tie a freakin’ necktie ?

Look at all of these beltway hucksters - and beyond ! No one knows how to tie a proper knot anymore !

And I can tell where they go off the rails too. Leaned to the left, biased to the left, What I call the “Skinny, hopeless attempt at the memory of a half-windsor”

Tim Gunn hasn’t even gotten it right in the last 6 years.

Looking at that picture it’s easy to see why we’re in the mess we’re in. What a bunch of losers.

Somewhere, the spirit of RWR is saying, “Thank God I don’t have to stand there with that pathetic crew.”

I don’t care about the ties - but I do like seeing them honoring the flag.

But none were wearing ties. Why?

Well, it was a rock and country music festival, so ties would have been out of place. It also apparently took place in southern Texas, so I imagine it was pretty warm and muggy - ties would have just made the climate more uncomfortable for a group of older men.

My God. They do something good and you complain about a tie.....they are retired you know. Why should they have to wear a tie after working their entire lives wearing a stupid tie.

The ties were all confiscated at the door, as this was declared a "no-tie" concert.   Later, the confiscators did not remember which tie belonged to which ex-president, so they still have them.   Here they are.
