Trump campaign staff had altercation with official at Arlington Cemetery. Pushed and yelled at cemetery staffer. Tried to turn military graveyard into press event.

Clearly, as it was part of his campaigning, this was an official act designated by someone who was at one point, and hopes again to be this election season, the President of the United States, in direct relation to the Office of the Presidency, which therefore bars any form of prosecution taking place.

God I am fucking sick to my stomach that what I just wrote is a mostly valid statement these days.

He just had to throw in the “mental health episode” comment didn’t he? Lying motherfucker.

As if those chucklefucks know the first thing about solemnity

Yup. Also, "permitted onto the premises?" Arlington is open to the public.

That was a pretty solemn thumbs-up I saw there, let me tell you.

It's perhaps the only true thing he's ever said.

Very true, so why was he there??!

Like a fat, orange, clueless, uncool Fonzie

And claimed the person was "clearly suffering from a mental health issue".

Fuck these people.

An 8 year old bully that slipped up enough times to realize that the rules are all talk and consequences don't come to them so they start acting like they're immune (because they have been), but since they're still 8 year old bullies, even if daddy doesn't spank them, they still get their fee-fees hurt when the social consequences of nobody wanting to play with you anymore come knocking.

... and because they're still 8 year old bullies they think the correct way to resolve that is to be really mean and nasty to everyone who doesn't like them in hopes that they'll just roll over and keep doing what the bully wants them to.

Maybe use a search engine instead of an LLM? It's pretty easy to find. On a sidenote, ChatGPT and similar LLMs are known to be absolutely unreliable and error prone. Please do yourself a favor and don't rely on anything an LLM tells you.

His funeral was a whole 'nother kettle of fish. Another poor look for the state of Minnesota DFL. There seems to be some washing of his memory apparently. It was a big deal and made national news at the time. Perhaps search for news articles from papers like the Washington Post or New York Times. Perhaps the Minneapolis Star Tribune. I remember it well because I'm old enough to have been there. It kind of made me question my voting for him. Still, I voted for him again and would have again when he was killed - despite his campaign promise of only being a one term senator. (He was pro term limits until it was HIS term also)

While I agree with what others are saying about not using LLMs for fact checking. It is a useful tool to gain context before gathering more research, so I think the downvotes are a bit harsh. I’d recommend using a different LLM - GPT4o had no issues providing me with some context.

I don't get the LLM hate. Reminiscent of the Wikipedia and general Internet hate before it, I think. It has its uses, especially in terms of general knowledge and brainstorming, but as any regular Internet user knows, you don't just believe the first thing you read.

Here's a fun search challenge that stumped my normal methods:

Back in the 90s Star Trek actor Michael Dorn hosted a show where he was introducing... Something. I don't know if it was a one-off or a weekly thing, but he introduced himself by saying, "Hi, I'm Michael Dorn," in his deep-ass voice, then he went on to talk about whatever he was introducing. The rest is a mystery to me, I just don't remember it well enough, but for whatever reason I remember that one line clear as day. But what the hell show was it and what was he introducing?

Just another mini me. Cory Lewandowski I think.
