9/11/01

Never forget.

I worry that we are forgetting. If it happened today, would we be able to find the unity that we did then?

Read my signature.. I think we could. Granted we were not as divided as we are today, I believe the majority of us could unify.

Yep, I fear many are forgetting...

Tienanmen Sq., OJ Bronco, 9/11/01, Shock and Awe, likely a few others. Days one can tell you what time, where they were, who they were with, what they were drinking.

Never forget.

Yes, I think we would. However, like then, it wouldn't last all that long.

Yep - the unity didn't last very long at all back in 2001. It was back to "Bush is the devil, the GOP wants to starve your kids and kill your grandparents" a few weeks later.

Quote:The Trump administration has been accused of siphoning almost $4m from a program that treats New York firefighters and medics suffering from 9/11 related illnesses.

The Treasury Department stopped payments almost four years ago to the FDNY World Trade Centre Health Program, according to reporting by The Daily News, with no reason given.

Payments to the program were authorised by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, but the Treasury began to keep some of the money.

Dr David Prezant, the program’s director and FDNY’s chief medical officer, told the publication that there has been no official explanation as to why the payments were stopped and no notification that it was going to happen.

You would think the ignoramus in chief would learn his lesson after being convicted of stealing from a child's cancer charity.

Here's one who wouldn't unite. He would claim it was a plot by DJT to win reelection.

I don't know what the big deal is, more people die annually to the flu than in 9/11


Oh wait wrong argument, we're not talking about COVID



Maybe you should take a look at why people hate Trump (this being a perfect example) instead of accusing others of hating America for not kowtowing to this President

Proving my point.

It’s hard to believe that 19 years have already passed since it happened and it’s amazing how vivid my memory of finding out still is. I was in 10th grade and sitting in English class when my teacher got a call from her husband.

It’s also weird to me that I now have kids of my own who will view 9/11 through the lens of history. I’m still not sure how to explain to them the raw emotion that the country felt in that moment, nor how it shaped our outlook on the world. The only thing I can liken it to is hearing my own grandmother’s stories when I was a kid about Pearl Harbor.

No, it would just be Trumps fault. Everything nowadays is Trumps fault. If your marriage breaks up it's because Trump brought the virus and the spouse lost the job and Trump didn't do anything to stop the mess. They always conveniently forget that the mayors and the governors of each state are the ones responsible for shutting everything down. Even before his polling numbers went down Obite'em wanted to close down the nation more with mandatory masks.

IT'S ALWAYS TRUMPS FAULT!
