I didn’t have clear reception, but any ‘light aircraft’ behind Trump is most likely a military helicopter. Look at a map of the National Mall. At the Lincoln Memorial end (W) you run into the Potomac River, with Memorial Bridge spanning it. That’s where the Rolling Thunder riders cross over from the Pentagon that’s just on the other side in VA ... an easy walk.
No private ‘light aircraft’ can get within miles of where Trump is without being escorted away. If not shot down .. of course they wouldn’t shoot ‘em down, because they’d never get that close.
You and me both.
—— Congressman, saying 250 US POWs are being held alive in Vietnamese POW camps. WTF! ——
I don’t believe that.
I married a Vietnamese lady many, many years ago. She was born in Cai Be. I have been to Vietnam many times and going back this Oct. Of all her relatives and friends I have been around, I have never had this mentioned to me and believe you me they would have.
Just can’t wrap my fingers around that comment from a congressman.
M Cane has been sainted by the powers that be.
Any thing said, even truth, marks the messenger
Just by Trump being there shows he stands with the group. He knows what they stand for. What their purpose is
HE STANDS WITH THUNDER !
That is all that needs to be said
Megan is wetting her pants
Thank you too, for joining the PGR!
A 135 degree day is more welcome than McLettuce in Phoenix, I know, I live here
Trump knows about the MIA and Mc Cain that’s why he made the comment early in the campaign.
Those at Thunder know he knows.
I think they do, too.
Explains why they came on board for him right from the get go!
Alexander Rossi, 24 years old, from Nevada City, CA., wins the 100th Indy 500. USA! USA! USA!
AMERICAN FIRST
@ 500
We are winning all ready!
My first thought was about the restricted air space.
Watch the speech replay, the fixed wind light aircraft was clearly pulling a banner behind it, directly over Trumps right shoulder in the background.
Has any previous candidate appeared at Rolling Thunder, and worked to get the support of vets and bikers as Trump has done?
ER...Fixed wing....
I meant to put that in quotes!
Didn’t mean make it look like I said it!
My punctuation marks don’t always work Haven’t figured out why. It just locks. So I read posts with no or little punctuation. No problem!
OK, I’ll try the rerun, but I can only get the youtube that’s linked here and it wasn’t very clear. Just cannot imagine them letting a plane like that within the restricted air space.
Wonder what plans for security the campaign is working on for the upcoming general election rallies?
Trump will have some events that could draw over 100k.
Thanks for bringing that memory back.....
We lived in San Diego back then and I remember the POW’s coming into SD and the Naval hospital there.
My hatred for McCain and Kerry began during the hearings about the POW/MIA issue. Both of those cowards wanted normal relations with Viet Nam so the Heinz family and the family of McCains wife, I think, could do business there. The POW/MIA families were treated horribly....I vividly remember being in tears watching their pain.....
Would love to know if those hearings are archived somewhere.
Good idea.
There were 1,200 US POWs, according to the Rep., and VN was supposed to receive 2.5 billion dollars in a release agreement/deal. VN released 600 (the best known men) and then the USA did not give the 2.5 Billion dollars to VN, and they didn’t release the last 600 POWs to us. The 250 figure is what remains alive due to attrition of the 600. This is what was said by the speaker. I’m sure the speech is recorded and available for review at a site like youtube.
Whatever the truth is, it needs to come out. I’m sure POWs were left behind in Korea, and Viet Nam too. I would believe that they were executed before I would believe that they are still being held alive. I want to know the truth, and the families deserve to know the truth. I’m more sure than not, that there are files being withheld by the US gov. with damning facts, from VN, and from Korea. Who knows how many Americans were killed by the Germans, at the war’s end, or by the Russians? I bet the gov. has files about these men too.
