Of course because they would realize it was their fault for taking advantage of government largesse and not bootstrapping their way to a better life.
They’d thank the President for giving them the kick in the ass they needed.

Why?
I would love to come down from doing flying forms or simply framing up a house to eat a sandwich…specially if it’s a man sandwich with loads of roast beef and Swiss. Hell I just might kiss him too.
Ok maybe that’s going to far.

Here is the thing. Trump shouldn’t lie on things like that.
But if you think the 9/11 rescue workers are any different, or bigger hero then some linemen out in storm restoring your power?
What happen on 9/11 was a tragedy…and man made one at that. But the men and women that show up that day were just doing their job…no different then truck driver rolling down I-95.
I’m sorry if that offends you all…but that’s the truth.

When the lineman out in the storm is dealing with crushed and burned body parts as he’s scooting up the pole, I’ll agree with you.
Other than that, I’ll thank the lineman for taking a job where goes out in the storm to restore power.
I’ll even give him a sandwich and hope he doesn’t feel I’m ungrateful for not thinking of him as a hero.

Lineman work under OSHA rules at all times, the 9/11 responders and first responders in general do not.
Did our memory get wiped? Like with a bleach cloth?

Well… except for the fact that the EPA lied about the toxic nature of the site and a whole bunch of them are dying from cancers related to being there… it is exactly like it.

Something like 10 or so people from my high school graduating class have already developed various cancers.
I wonder why that is.

Remember the big scandal of the dump trucks pulling out of there spreading the dust all along their route because they didn’t have covers for them?
That went on for months.
I watched those dump trucks drive past my school every day, and dump their loads on the barges just north of Stuy, to be taken to Fresh Kills.

I work with lineman everyday, I’m on the gas side of utility work, their egos are big enough, please dont repeat this!!
It kinda feels like we are at a place where we have to say first responders at 9/11 are no big deal just to make Trump’s lie seem less egregious. Yeah he lied but they aren’t special so whatevs.

I can’t even believe grown ups are even nit picking over this stuff.
He wasnt there on the 11th, he was there on the 13th
He said he was there “lots”. I don’t consider it a “lot”.
What nonsense this all is.
