Biden Snaps At Coast Guard Graduates For Lack Of Applause, Calls Them ‘Dull’
National File ^ | May 18 | Tom Pappert

Posted on 05/19/2021 10:23:25 AM PDT by RandFan

In the latest of Joe Biden’s history of blunders around the Armed Forces, the American President became verbally abusive when the Coast Guard graduating class refused to clap in response to what seems to have been a back handed insult. After complaining about the lack of applause, laughter ensued, and a few graduates gave a belated round of applause.

“I can only assume that you’ll enjoy educating your family about how the Coast Guard is, quote, the hard nucleus around the navy forms in times of war,” said Biden, laughing at the beginning. It is unclear whether Biden was insulting the popular reputation of the Coast Guard as an unimportant part of the U.S. Armed Forces, despite the fact that – with a shoestring budget – the Coast Guard completes dangerous work in the Caribbean and is responsible for apprehending more illegally smuggled cocaine than any law enforcement branch in the country.

“Wow, you’re a really dull class,” Biden then yelled. “I mean come on man, is the sun getting to you? I would think you’d have an opportunity when I say that about the Navy to clap, but we came here together.” At this point some members of the Coast Guard graduating class began laughing, then prompting a belated round of applause.

Yup. Protocol. Then you have a jerk like General Mattis bashing Trump.

They should all line up, and all the graduates should take turns going up to him, and vigorously, forcefully clapping both of his stupid, thieving, traitorous ears, for at least an hour or so.

How overconfident do you have to be to run Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for President and VP ... especially against President Donald J. Trump?

Just look at Biden now. They must have known how bad he was a year ago, right?

Common sense and experience says, if many in the public could see it then and almost all can see it now, then it would have been much more obvious to family and co-workers when or before they announced his candidacy for POTUS.

And yet, they clearly were not afraid of losing the election, right? ... and why would that be?

Arizona knows. Michigan knows. Georgia knows. And if we are honest, most of us kinda know or we are starting to suspect.

They stole the 2020 election and now they are hell bent on covering up their election fraud.

It’s fairly obvious now and it will become ever more obvious as they attempt to live The Big Lie every day.

Interesting times ... in the Twilight Zone.

So I guess now they’ll be investigated for extremism for not applauding the a-hole in chief.

Thank you very much Sir for your service and training expertise. When I had a boat years back that broke down midway to Catalina Island, the CG came to my aid and towed me back to Huntington Harbor. Nicest bunch of guys ever, not to mention professional.

Do you recall the name of the movie with Kevin Costner and his rescue unit?

My friend’s son graduated from the Coast Guard. I hear people disrespecting the Coast Guard for not being military. It might not be under DoD, but it is. To see the trainiing ship Eagle under full sail is wonderful.

I feel bad for these graduates. Four long hard years of work to get through the academy and they get this superannuated dementia patient as a commencement speaker.

He is a soulless human piece of trash.

The Coasties and all other young people in the military are the sons and daughters of proud Americans.

Thanks for the multiple insult there joe.

Too bad the grads didn’t stand, turn, and walk away silently.

They couldn't. He is after all Commander-in-Chief.

The delivery of the joke sounds incoherent, and wasn’t that funny to begin with.

Who would expect less of a puppet-state installation? It’s not unlike C!@-installed Somoza Garcia in Nicaragua — you can’t spell Garcia without C!@ — whose family was worth a billion when the Sandinistas finally deposed them 40 years ago.

Biden...”the Coast Guard is, quote, the hard nucleus around the navy forms in times of war”

How is that even a sentence? I had to read it three times to guess what he was saying.
Apparently, he meant that the Coast guard is the nucleus around WHICH the navy forms AROUND in times of war.
