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.
[[ Who thought of that sh*t, anyway?]]
College indoctrinated whelps who studied nazi tactics and wish to e ulate them.
I’m a nobody also.
But we will see a few articles like this with hand wringing and saying Biden should not have done this.
But nothing will happen as a result.
This is the new normal.
Milley is a Marine.
About then.
Pres. Wilson killed it.
[[but I have never seen and heard anything close to this.]]
You’ve never seen videos of Hitler giving a speech and pounding his fists in demonic anger on the podium while incessantly attacking his opponents?
In America.
No he isn’t. He’s Army.
And Generals aren’t like lower ranking Marines.

saw this on social media of the US Marine Corps Band (The President’s Own).
“With all due respect, I am trying to understand why the Marine Corps Band appeared at a partisan political speech tonight, just after the sitting President announced his intention to run for a second term. I feel sorry for any Marine Band musicians who may have voted for President Trump in 2020 to be belittled, to their faces, by their Commander in Chief and be described in essence as enemies of the state. There needs to be a firewall, rule, or code for the Marines not to be used as props for any political campaign event. The two Marines at attention behind the President may have also voted for Trump and may have served under President Trump as their Commander in Chief. Marines follow orders regardless of politics, but this was a pure partisan, divisive attack on at least 74 million Americans who voted for President Trump and the Marines were portrayed as being supportive of this partisan divisiveness. Please stay out of politics.”

“I’m only in my 40’s, but I have never seen and heard anything close to this.”
I’m in my 70s. You’ve never seen or heard anything close to this; I’ve never seen or heard anything close to this; and no one else has ever seen or heard anything close to this from an American president. It was, quite literally, a declaration of war — a kinetic war. Specifically, against Republicans and conservatives; in general, against America.
Desperate attempt by CNN (aka “news media”) attempting to get out ahead of their own culpability. Reviews coming in must be terrible. Uh oh. Staged event backfired perhaps?
Ah, true, but I will say Kathy hochul is coming somewhat close- telling conservatives In Her state to leave, and ignoring the supreme court and cenying people thir right to self protection/constitutional carry etc.. but yeah, Biden was certainly demonic looking at his speech.
Personally, I think the use of Marines, AND the media ‘outrage’, is a diversionary tactic meant to take the focus off the Nazi-like, blood-red-bathed call for war against half the population.
Don’t fall for the head fake.
I recall that...they had their special sniper weapons collected....to be sent to Ukraine to help out.
Parade rest is with hands behind the back.
Marines don’t stand that way.
They must have been ordered to do so.
It most definitely looks strange, unmilitary.
Biden should have had a pearl handled .45 on his hip. Well, maybe two, just for balance.
Perfect!
It’s the cure.
We ain't. It's all fake.................
