“I will never forget. Two firemen, we thought it was coming down on top of us and two firemen, big strong guys — and I’m not the smallest guy in the world — they grabbed me under the arms and said, ‘Gotta get out of here,’ and they literally lifted me up.”
“This is not easy to do. I’m big. They lifted me up, and they started running with me. I said, ‘Fellas, I can run myself.’ But they were amazing, but they thought it was coming down. It didn’t come down.”

Fitting to recall the firefighters who carried him out as it was today that he gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the family of Welles Crowther, a civilian hero who wore the red bandana his father had given him. He, like his dad, was a volunteer firefighters.
Another testimony on why our firefighters need to be big and strong fellows in good physical shape, not someone small of body or low in lung power and upper body strength.
That’s the kind of job this is and always has been.
What a guy: our President is...
I take it that you don’t favor fat lesbians who’d blame you for being in the wrong place if they’re not able to drag you out of danger.

Why was the mother of The Red Bandana guy gushing over song Lawler when given the presidential medal?
Trump pointed out to her he came up with the offer years before
Sometimes it’s exhausting
Well, at least he left the bandana at the podium.
Why was the mother of The Red Bandana guy gushing over congressman Lawler when he was being given the presidential medal?
Trump had to point out to her that it was Trump who came up with the offer/idea years before. What was she doing?
Sometimes it’s exhausting
Well, at least he left the bandana at the podium.
She is part of CD 17, Lawler’s district...
She made a good speech. President Trump told the story
She had to gush over Rep Lawler. Yuck
Lol! That sounds like the local Fire Dept. in San Francisco.
yeh- yuck....
She is one of Lawler’s constituents and he is in a battle with a chick who was largely responsible for Abby Gate but has never answered questions about her culpability for that disaster...
Welles Crowther mother absolutely did this with purpose- to help Lawler in November...
so yeh- yuck....
Yep. I saw what I saw.
Then there is Hillary’s fairy tale...
As if Lawler had to fight Trump for it.
Where is the evidence of that?
Trump was AT ground Zero. He brought his company down there. He was there when the Twin Towers were built It’s his city. He was there when the 5 families who ran/extorted building and construction got taken away by Rudy
Of course he got the bandana guy the medal for this. Why do people think their hatred for Trump is the only dislike anyone has ever had for a politician ever and it’s more important than anything
Blech
LOL.....
LOL- yeh, you saw what you saw...i live in Lawler’s district and i know what goes on, what’s gone on for two years and what’s happening...but feel free to keep flailing away...
25 yr commemoration will have Mamdani. No Trump
New Yorkers, man.
Well. I know them. They’re my family and ancestry. Hard to watch.
Why- NYers want ayatollah mamdani at the commemoration?
LOL- Another swing and another miss....
