It didn't take long after Biden finished his rancid, combative remarks in Philadelphia for the reviews of the latest divisive screed from "Mr. Unity" to come in, and they predictably were not favorable from those among the 70 million Americans he declared were hatefully working to bring about the end of democracy:
Kayleigh McEnany @kayleighmcenany · Follow Mr. Unity just gave the most divisive presidential speech I have ever seen! 7:30 PM · Sep 1, 2022

In addition to the caustic content of Biden's message — vote for the people I say or you're a fascist — the staging was also of note, and not just the ominous red hue that bathed the sides of Independence Hall. No, the two Marines standing at attention behind the president grabbed viewers' eyes.
A producer for ABC pointed out an obvious but important truth as well:
Meanwhile, even CNN talent was unnerved by the display. Chief National Affairs Correspondent Jeff Zeleny took issue with the staging of the Marines behind Biden for such a political speech, calling it a "break with White House traditions."
CNN's Brianna Keilar joined in the criticism as well saying the positioning of Marines behind Biden for a speech like Thursday night's "flies in the face" of the idea that America's military is "supposed to be apolitical."
Thursday night's political use of military personnel was not even Biden's first flub when it comes to protocol and existing precedent, as Guy pointed out:
Perhaps Biden's combative screed that was ironically previewed by the White House as one of unity did succeed in one way: uniting media across the partisan spectrum in its criticism of the imagery the president used to back up his words.
The coup on parade...
For some reason, I don’t know how to post pictures from my iPad.
I know the html from my laptop…
“Allowing people to vote for whomever they want is dangerous for democracy.”
Good point.
Modified parade rest.
After you put use, all I see is an empty square…
Gen Milley slobbered all over himself to apologize when he walked across the street with Trump. Don’t hold your breath for him to apologize for this.
Sorry, here’s the code.

Put a “<” at the start of the code and a “>” at the end of the code.
Here’s the link to the FR page giving these instructions:

That’s exactly how I post from my laptop.
For some reason it doesn’t work on my iPad.
No clue.
I just get a little square instead of the usual pic…
Sorry again:
Keep the “%” when adjusting size.
You’ll get the hang of it, maybe not immediately, but with a little effort and practice.
Battle’s speech sounded like his normal whining puss he is bet he was stomping his feet to.
He and Harris are the best example of the democrat party they could have.
Thanks.
Looks like an usher.
is this particular to White House service?
🧐
Looks like Marine Barracks 8th & I, Washington. Yes, I know this is just a "semi-formal" photo op.
Had never seen that before.
Is that an official stance, or just a pose for the picture?
