Eisenhower Presidential Library: The D-Day operation of June 6, 1944, brought together the land, air, and sea forces of the allied armies in what became known as the largest amphibious invasion in military history. The operation, given the codename OVERLORD, delivered five naval assault divisions to the beaches of Normandy, France. The beaches were given the code names UTAH, OMAHA, GOLD, JUNO, and SWORD. The invasion force included 7,000 ships and landing craft manned by over 195,000 naval personnel from eight allied countries. Almost 133,000 troops from the United States, the British Commonwealth, and their allies, landed on D-Day. Casualties from these countries during the landing numbered 10,300. By June 30, over 850,000 men, 148,000 vehicles, and 570,000 tons of supplies had landed on the Normandy shores. Fighting by the brave soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the allied forces western front, and Russian forces on the eastern front, led to the defeat of German Nazi forces. On May 7, 1945, German General Alfred Jodl signed an unconditional surrender at Reims, France. more

And today your President shit his pants in the middle of his little presentation. Some how it all seems so appropriate.

^^^ That guy is fucking disgusting.
They ALL are.
But him in particular.
^^^Pedo Joe, not Brad.
I like Brad.
^^
What the heck. Why didn’t they send someone else? He can barely handle a cross country flight let alone a trans*snicker* Atlantic one.
If the dude was sharp but physically unable and asked for accommodation to do his job-no one would really care. The Great Pretending however is something else. 😑
The invasion force were soldiers, not naval personnel.
Other than that, a pretty good write-up. A day to remember, and it will be for thousands of years. Men were brave in 1944. Nowadays, I don’t know. There are too many perverts, low-lifers, druggies, criminals, and freaks lurking around – useless for the most part.
The clip provided by Mr. Brad shows biden bending over. Was he taking an unscheduled dump or offering his backside to Dacron?
Or both?

Regarding your first comment, we spend one day in June honoring heroes. Real men. We spend the entire month celebrating a bunch of assholes that can’t figure out which bathroom to use. Don’t seem right.
And I was just thinking while on the way to my computer what was presidunce shit head/shit pants going to say or so today while in France for the 80th D-day anniversary. Why didn’t he just stay home and not even bother to go, he could’ve shit his skivvies at home just as well and none outside of his staff would know. He’s a walking embarrassment every time that he appears in public, and he totally humiliates and makes himself look like an old buffon himself in front of God and everybody.
buffoon, what an ignoramus and a ultramaroon like Bugs would say.
Compare to today’s generation of the same. Or ANY past generation.
The guys that piloted the landing craft were Navy and they were part of it. A lot of those craft got blown out of the water. Anyone who was there was part of it FFS.
Here in my town, the Veterans post a full sized flag for each and every veteran from WW1 onward at the cemetery. It is so sad to see that the 400+ flags represent every white male that died for our country. Not a single black, Mexican or other is represented, each flag represents a white man who fought in our wars. I’m not racist I just read the death polls as they are posted.
Can we just call joey President stinky ass from now on. Or if he was an injun he could be called chief shits his pants.
