    The families do have a say. It’s their child’s grave.

    Photos are allowed as I have cited.

    The hatch act is for federal employees which weren’t involved.

    If it’s a crime then Biden has committed the exact same crime.

      They have zero say. It’s federal land, and a cemetery at that. They can’t bend or change the laws any more than you can declare an FBI office your new house “becuz I PaY year taXes”

        No law was broken. As such no law has to be changed.

        He laid a wreath. Took a picture with the family. That’s all legal.

        If it was a crime, where is the arrest? Exactly. It’s people turning something non-political into something political.

          Nope, it wasn’t. They were turned away, assaulted a representative, and did it anyway thinking they could get away it.

          The cemetery rep said they couldn’t be there, the law very much says they can’t be there, and then they committed extra crimes on top of that.

          How are you thinking no laws were broken?

            The law does not say they can’t be there. The law says you can’t campaign there which he didn’t.

            If a law was broken, where was the arrest? Sounds like a bunch of political crap

              See my other post. The law says nothing like that. It specifically says if it appears that why you are there is for political purposes or campaigns for such. He drove a fucking TRUMP BUS right up to it.

              You don’t need to be a legal scholar to look at the background of the dumb fucking pictures his own campaign of idiots and morons released to see the gigantic tour busses parked on that street.

              Get lost with this noise. Why are you apologizing and trying to find justifications for this asshole?

                I’m not the one trying to turn a request from a a gold Star family into a political issue.

                I don’t see a violation of the law.

                You do.

                You think Trump laying a wreath at the request of the family is a violation of the law. If that’s a law, it deserves to be broken.

                  Trump didn’t JUST lay a wreath. See my other statement. If he showed up out of the goodness of his own heart (which he does not have), he could have done so and been gone. No questions.

                  What fucking reality are you living in? Nobody stopped him for laying a wreath. They stopped him and his ENTOURAGE FROM MAKING THIS POLITICAL AS PART OF A PR STUNT.

                  Goddamn, y’all gullible.

                    He laid a wreath and took a photo with the family.

                    They didn’t stop anything. Trump did what he was asked to do and left.

                    Democrats hate Trump so much they’ll piss on a gold star family. It’s not a good look.

                    Had everyone shut up. It would have never made the news
