25 years ago today.
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE who was old enough remembers exactly where they were that morning. I know exactly where I was. You probably know exactly where you were.
So isn’t it a huge red flag when the President can’t seem to remember where they were during something like 9/11?
Trump has told different stories about what he was doing around that time and now apparently firefighters picked him up and carried him away from danger.
Come on. Time to impeach?
This is my most vivid memory of 9/11:
After the attacks happened - in the early morning for me in Utah - I went to work.
There I found all my colleagues chit-chating and just as worked up as I was. But one of them was sitting quietly and simply working.
I went see him and asked him: “Have you seen what happened? You seem strangely undisturbed.”
“Yes” he said, “I’ve seen. And I’m grieving today just as I have been every 9/11 since 1973, when the US helped install a bloody dictatorship in my country. Now you know how it feels too.”
He was from Chile.
What he said really put things into perspective for me.
I worked In Moncton NB, we were sent home early to help out at the airport.
He knows exactly where he was: wherever it was politically convenient for him to be. His supporters believe in him like Santa clause; it’s more about the meaning behind it than how the operation works. So long as they keep winning (which the goalposts constantly move, in 3 dimensions), the meat and potatoes do not matter.
Hey! Men in little girls sports! Don’t pay attention to the
1%0.00005% hiding behind the curtain! Paying more at the pump is a patriotic act!I’m not sure he understands the concept of truth like normal people. It’s not so much that he’s always lying, just says what seems like the right thing at the time to make him appear strong and powerful. Like a bad LLM made squishy orange flesh
I don’t think anything short of him executing members of congress, personally, would get him impeached.
If he killed Sotomayor with an ax on live stream Republicans would make excuses.
And democrats would make conciliatory noises about moving forward.
Watched the second tower fall personally, albeit from a distance.
Come on. Time to impeach?
That would be the 30,574th time if lying as a POTUS was ground for impeachment for the orange utan.
That’s just his first term. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s doubled that by now.
That was first term and I remember a different news agency pegging it at over 36k just for that term. He’s triple that by now.
I remember vividly. I was lying in bed slowly waking up to another work day. As I’m lying there the radio kicked in and I heard something about a plane striking one of the towers. That fully woke me up for sure. So I went out to the living room of my little apartment and turned on the TV. As I’m watching the news cover the smoking tower, the second plane hit. That kind of broke my brain.
But I still went into work, because bills still needed passing. But nobody did any work at our dying dot-com startup that day. Everyone was just fixated in the news, trying to process what the fuck was going on.
I remember saying to the guy next to me, as we’re trying processing it all “surely they must have known about this, like the intelligence agencies must have got wind of it?” He completely freaked out at me and went on an incoherent rant at me about his his grandpa fought in WWII and how America was the greatest country ever. He apologized the next day. And I get it. We were all traumatized that day. And traumatized people do and say all sorts of things.
I remember where I was on a lot of days. I dont remember where I was on a lot of others.
The guy is dickhead, but I think him forgetting where he was on 9/11 is the least of the problems. How about him raping children?
My girlfriend woke me up when the first one hit. While they were debating whether it was an accident or not, I said that it was on purpose and predicted that the other building would get hit minutes before it happened.
We know what Trump was doing; talking on TV about how his tower was now the tallest.
Which by the way, it wasn’t.
Late to the party but I’m 30 years old and my memories of that day have gotten noticeably more fuzzy lately. I remember there was no announcement over the loudspeaker. No cell phones so the principal had to be going down a list calling every teacher. But I remember the feeling in the air before she turned on the CRT mounted above and to the left of the classroom door. It was like a hollow version of the anvil in your stomach feeling. She told us that we are all going to remember this day for the rest of out lives and let the news play and sat down. I didn’t understand what I was seeing, there are terrible things on TV every day, but I did know this was DIFFERENT. My dad came and picked me up from school that morning.
16 and hung over, checked a New Zealand forum and was reading messages about how hearts were going out to NY. I walked out to my brothers friend watching TV and saying check this out. People in NZ knew before me.
Where was Trump really during 9/11?
I was at a clients. They had it on tv or puter (can’t remember which).
I was aware of this stuff as of the RFK assassination (was around 10). My mom had it plastered all over the tv. That and all the daily Vietnam deaths on the news. It was a carry over from WWII for my mom I think.
I am pretty certain I have a made up memory of it. I remember coming from school and the TV is on and everyone is is shock. But it’s in the house I was living since I am 13yo, but I wasn’t even 10yo at the time, so it cannot be.
