It's just a concussion

3 dead, dozen injured some with “concussive injuries.” That means TBI - Traumatic Brain Injury.

Anyone here see the tv commercials by Wounded Warrior Project? See those guys who don’t have a scratch but they can’t speak, cannot control their limbs, must be fed and dressed? That’s TBI. The concussion from being close to the explosion of 500 lbs of explosive or more causes irreversible damage to the brain.

Will Trump invite them to the White House for Big Macs?


During his first term he was at a service at Arlington where a multiple amputee sang The Lord’s Prayer. Trump told his staff he never again wanted to be seen wit “someone like that” because they don’t look good.

A DUmmie Snoopy-dancing and mocking American casualties? How utterly unsurprising.

I'm not anything medical, but I think DUmmie Not-Really-An AverageOldGuy doesn't understand "concussive" in this context. One word for an explosion is "concussion". In the context of an explosion "concussive injury" could include concussions, which are injuries to the brain, but means the full variety of injuries from being in the vicinity of an explosion, possibly including shrapnel/debris injuries.

Some Dem Congress-Twit is complaining that there's no end in sight for the attacks on Iran. It's been 3 whole days, Dem Congress-Twit Moron!

In those three days: the terror-government of Iran had been beheaded, several cervical vertebrae deep; Iranian AA capabilities have been so wiped out that stand-off (= "smart") weapons are no longer necessary; Iran's naval pirate-vessels are wet-docked at the bottom of naval base harbors, plus or minus a few wet-docked in the deeper waters of the Persian Gulf. As announced this AM, the goals of Trump's attack - US forces' and Israeli forces' - are to wipe out Iran's capability to threaten any part of the world with nukes and missiles and to disrupt Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman commerce.

You have to remember that you can't really expect a DUmmie to know anything since they don't have an actual brain. They just have whatever has been programmed into them by their DemonRat overlords. You also can't expect them to show any compassion because they are so full of hate that there is not room for compassion.

I don't remember any Democrat President inviting any Vet to the White House that was disabled in any capacity. The only time I saw any Democrat President near a vet was to hand out a medal and then they sent them on their way, hardly an invitation to a dinner with the big guy and first lady. IF the last SOTU address was any indication the elft hates veterans. None of the Democrats stood up when veterans were given Medal of Honor awards to show any kind of support so you clowns at DU and go F**k off.

Among characteristic Trump moments of Trump 1.0 was Trump showing up, unannounced to the MSM, at Walter Reed Hospital to visit wounded/injured service members. LIEden's style, in an unguarded moment, was to check his watch while attending the transfer of several dead service members' remains, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJcmawIWJ_Y .

Someone is going to have to provide some backup for that statement.

A number of news sources report the claim, but it has serious credibility issues:

* Judging by the dates of the articles, early 4th week of September 1923, the claim was made around that time in 2023;

* The source was John F. Kelly, one of Trump's chiefs of staff in his first term;

* Trump fired Kelley in December 2019;

* After being fired, Kelly claimed that Trump often praised authoritarian regimes in meetings;

* In October 2024, Kelly described Trump as "Fascist".

IOW, the amputee comment claim needs to be taken with a large block of salt labelled: "The source for this claim HATES Trump."

A-DDGing I will go ...

Interesting pic, from August 2024:



The woman is not an amputee, but she clearly is disabled.

From a 2025 visit to Arlington:



Trump shows no aversion to the disabled older man several feet away.

This also is from the 8/2024 visit to Arlington:

The man standing next to Trump has a prosthetic arm, and the woman appears to be the same woman seated in a wheelchair in the picture above. Worth noting is that this was a campaign visit, which means the two were probably survivors from the Kabul airport bombing and are veterans.

It's amazing what you can find with an OK search engine and the sophisticated search phrase, "trump public visit to arlington national cemetery"!
