President Trump on Tuesday began his day—on the 17th anniversary of the Sept. 11. 2001, terror attacks—by tweeting a defense of himself in the Russia investigation. A few minutes later, he retweeted a post about the worst terror attacks in U.S. history, adding #NeverForget #September11th. Trump will attend a ceremony in western Pennsylvania to honor the victims of the tragedy. More than 3,000 people were killed in the coordinated attacks after hijackers flew airplanes into the Pentagon and World Trade Center. A third hijacking attempt was stopped when 40 passengers and crew aboard United Airlines Flight 93 charged into the cockpit and intervened in the plot, which some believe was meant to strike the U.S. Capitol building or the White House. ...................

Except for these 87+ links Donny.

https://themoscowproject.org/explainers/trumps-russia-cover-up-by-the-numbers-70-contacts-with-russia-linked-operatives/

June 9, 2016: Donald Trump Jr., Manafort, Kushner, and Rob Goldstone met in Trump Tower with Russian attorney and lobbyist Natalia Veselnitskaya, former State Department contractor Anatoli Samochornov, Russian-American lobbyist and former Soviet counterintelligence officer Rinat Akhmetshin, and Georgian real estate and finance executive Irakly Kaveladze. Before the meeting, Trump Jr. was told he would be offered dirt on Hillary Clinton, to which he replied, “if it’s what you say I love it.”

I knew he lied about that day and it really pissed me off. I wanted to remember exactly what BS he spewed about this tragedy in the past. I HATE him!!!!

I lived in NY and put a bumper sticker on my car this morning as I do every Sept 11th and shed a few tears.

Is your collar getting a bit tight? Are you having a case of the 'bubble guts' thinking about the avalanche of woe heading your way?

...."but every day we get more documentation showing collusion between the FBI & DOJ, the Hillary campaign, foreign spies & Russians, incredible.” Please, Mr. "president", produce all of the "documentation" you say you have against the FBI, DOJ, Hillary, foreign spies and Russians. I'm willing to wager the only "documentation" you have is about foreign Russian spies, and that's only because you were in a conspiracy with them to win the election. And Donnie, let's forget the silly "collusion" talk from now on, OK? From now on use the word "conspiracy", because that what Mr. Mueller has evidence of concerning you, your children, and the Russians. Mmmkay? Oh, and Donnie..........fuck you!

and your going to PA, to say what, how fucking great you are and everything is you, you, and more of you, and there was no conspiracy, with you and Russians Mafia, and how great the economy is doing and you did it.................... ..............

But you want to declassify documents on Carter Page and attack Bruce Ohr, (so that your fucking republican enablers of Russia in Congress can help try and deflect their and your Bull Shit with a capital S of your treason), that he, Ohr, put out your boss Semion Mogilevich on the FBI's most wanted, and Bruce Ohr, a career official within the government has been a main force in going after your syndicated bosses over in Russia Mafia over there, and here and protecting this country from terrorists that Semion Mogilvich and his henchmen like Putin, that have been and are aligned with terror and deaths, and now you want to destroy his (Ohr's) career............................go FUCK YOURSELF............................ .


Your a fucking disgrace........................especially to "all of the victims of 9/11", the passengers, the airline workers, the companies, that lost everything in some cases...........................

The green party was a good idea, but up against the momentum of the two-party system, it should have regrouped as a pressure group within the Republican Party (to put a dent in its anti-scientific delusions.)

Is he saying there is some kind of connection between the two events, or between all the parties mentioned and the two events?

First and foremost, everything must be all about Donald, all the time. Doesn't matter when it is or where he may be, it's him him him, 24/7. Given that his big concern right now is the Russia probe hanging over his pointed head like the sword of Damocles, that's the first thing he thinks of upon waking up, and the last thing he thinks of before slithering into his lair to sleep.

Thus, this morning he immediately jumped onto Twitter to resume his rant about "no collusion." Right after he'd done so, one of his minders pointed out to him that it's the 17th anniversary of a national tragedy, and as the person playing the President on TV, he'd probably better say something semi-presidential about it. He grudgingly accepted, and followed up with his weak sauce tweet.

That's my guess as to the sequence of events. I'd feel comfortable placing a pretty large bet that that's how it went down.

God I'm sick of this shit.

Also, I seem to remember back then that Flight 93 was shot down by a Warthog over a PA field, that whole thing about brave passengers storming the cockpit was a load of crap Cheney and Co. sold to the public.

Cann anybody weigh in on that?

32. Warthog Is A War Plane
Tue Sep 11, 2018, 02:43 PM

A low altitude attack plane (the A-10, i think).

Used as an anti-personnel and anti-armor attack vehicle in several campaigns.

Called the warthog because it's kind of an ugly plane.

That's a conspiracy theory that's long since been debunked.

Secondly, the A-10 is primarily a ground-attack aircraft, suited for bombing runs or taking out enemy ground vehicles. If the military were inclined to shoot down an aircraft, the A-10 is most certainly not the platform they'd choose for such a task.
