1. I'm glad he wasn't there

He would've made it all about himself,

[CurtEastPoint]

2. He's hosting some GD wrestling match on $$$TV.

[Nevilledog]

6. Boxing, but that doesn't make it less sickening.

[SergeStorms]

27. I don't know how much money....

they're going to make on PPV. Who wants to spend $50 to see some over-the-hill fighters, who will soon be eligible for Social Security, make a mockery of boxing.

I'm sure the Orange Asshole is getting paid some percentage though. Mostly, he gets to run his mouth endlessly about an imagined stolen election, and he might even announce his candidacy for the 2024 election. Big whoop.

But his cult might pool their money for the PPV, just to see their messiah. Fools and their money, as the saying goes.

[LittleGirl]

32. +1 eom

[gab13by13]

4. Are McCarthy and McConnell there?

[Silent3]

5. Not that Trump chose to be absent for this reason, but...

...it's for more respectful for him not to be present.

He's not there because he's at least smart enough to know he isn't welcome.

He's not smart enough, however, to realize that doing commentary on a boxing match isn't a respectable alternative.

[hadEnuf]

12. Of course nobody wants him there.

Probably some don't want the Clinton's, Bushes, or Obama's there either but the came anyway because they are former POTUS's and have respect.

Trump is garbage and not worthy of the term POTUS.

[Captain Zero]

46. Yeah. But he can pick up a check at the fight.

[Baked Potato]

7. A caring, dignified, and moral Party will be how history will remember Democrats. nt

[GoodRaisin]

8. This isn't about Trump

so he didn't come.

[OrangeJoe]

23. Bingo

You got it in only 10 words.

[GoodRaisin]

35. Thanks, and welcome to DU.

[Larissa]

28. Bam!

You nailed it, GoodRaisin. And those words also define Trump's "presidency."

[GoodRaisin]

36. Yup.

So glad that’s over.

[rurallib]

9. Maybe I missed him, but where is W?

Without his fucking up, we wouldn't be having this memorial

[malaise]

10. Sadly he's not in a cell in the Hague

That is all

[rickyhall]

30. With Cheney

[malaise]

37. and the rest of the war criminals

I do not plan to either forgive or forget -

[Tommymac]

44. Truth.

[dchill]

13. Shanksville.

[Fla Dem]

19. He and Laura are on the other side of Pres Clinton.

[question everything]

24. And gave a decent presentation

https://www.yahoo.com/news/video/nation-know-former-president-bush-155346436.html


And Harris acknowledged him, too.

[Mosby]

25. That was a good speech.

Thx for the link.

Wapo republished this piece about one of the f16 pilots on duty that day.

31. One thing Dubya has going for him.

Trump.

[Lasher]

33. VP Kamala Harris, Former Pres. George W. Bush share their reflections at ceremony for Flight 93

SOMERSET COUNTY (KDKA) — The ceremony to honor the heroic passengers and crew of Flight 93 began at 9:45 a.m. Saturday.

Today marks the 20th year since the 9/11 attacks and the people of Flight 93’s brave efforts to stop the hijackers.

The official ceremony was held at Memorial Plaza, and former President George W. Bush, former First Lady Laura Bush and Vice President Kamala Harris attended the event, with Harris serving as the keynote speaker.

GWB was a terrible president but he's not a total ass like Trump.

[FakeNoose]

42. Dubya came to Pennsylvania for the Flight 93 ceremony

Otherwise, I'm sure he would have attended with the others in NYC and Washington DC.

[2Gingersnaps]

47. W was at the Pennsylvania site.

I would buy his rehab as quickly as I would tRump's, not sorry.

[irisblue]

14. Who are the 2 people next to Dr Biden? Thx

[TNNurse]

15. Bloomberg is next to her,

but I do not know the woman between him and Pelosi.

[irisblue]

16. Bloombergs partner, Diana Taylor maybe?

[TNNurse]

17. Could be, I Googled her and she is pretty tall.

There is a resemblance. Thanks.

[TNNurse]

18. No one wanted him there.

[calimary]

20. Hell, it's better WITHOUT him.

The whole thing would turn on its ass - and become about him. And what he was expected to say, and why he wasn’t allowed to say, and how Biden, First Lady Jill, fill-in-the-name-here reacted to him, and how he reacted to them, and where’s Melania (assuming she wouldn’t have gone), and on. And on.

And on….

And he’d hog the cameras and hold forth and take everybody’s questions, and monopolize the coverage (because you know the press would be all over him for quotes and more quotes.

And on…

And on….

[Upthevibe]

21. Thank God he's not there....

Seriously......

[Midnight Writer]

22. Is Rudy, America's Mayor, in attendance?

How about Kevin McCarthy? Moscow Mitch?

[Paladin]

26. Even trump is capable of a decent move, every 20 years or so. (nt)

[Treefrog]

29. He was probably not invited.

Perhaps even discouraged from coming.

Ugh, glad he’s not there.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

34. Another question nobody asks . . . where is Cheney?

I wonder if he and Bush aren’t bitter enemies now. They never appear together.

I think Bush figured out, somewhere in his second term, that he had been used as a tool by Cheney (who knew he could never get elected). And Bush resented it and regretted some of the things he’d been tricked into doing.

[Niagara]

38. KnR

[Blue Owl]

39. Rump's got his big fat ass planted on his gold toilet

Taking a shit on this country as he does every day...

[myohmy2]

40. maybe...

...he couldn't find his mask...

...

[Maru Kitteh]

41. I am taken aback at how precious I find this photograph.

I do NOT mean precious in the sardonic sense. I am sincere.

[imaginary girl]

43. They decided to invite the actual winner of the 2016 election ...

... Hillary Clinton

[llashram]

45. no surprise

that hateful evil poor excuse for a human being was not there. Nor his wife.
