In reply to the discussion: French Member Of European Parliament Responds To Karoline Leavitt [View all]Cirsium
(2,488 posts)Back in 1968 I was in Spain traveling "rough," hiking, sleeping outside, etc. I got to the French border one evening about midnight on a little local train. People were ordered off the train by stern looking armed officers, and we stood in line as people were interrogated and their luggage searched. I was tired and nervous. There were four scowling officers standing there when I got to the front of the line. I pulled my passport out of my pocket, and all four officers looked at it, recognized it as a US passport, and snapped to attention, and saluted me. They quickly stamped my passport with big smiles and waved me through.
I didn't earn that. I wasn't on the Normandy beaches. But my relatives and neighbors were.
That is what Trump is destroying.
