I get the feeling trump* is listening with an ear to hear soft 'slams' headed his way

[Siwsan]

I know the Bush family requested that there be NO partisanship in the eulogies. None the less, it is so OBVIOUS that people are passively listing all of the ways GHWB, for all of his flaws, was everything trump* is not.

1. I know I am and enjoying when the camera moves to Trump's reactions. Meachum is not going to go

DIRECT, but he will get the point across.

[Siwsan]

4. He is giving a wonderful eulogy

Very moving and funny. You could almost see some of the grief and stress melt off of the family.

6. CBS camera cut to Twitler after Meacham spoke about Truth and the Right Thing

[Roland99]

22. Here it is!!!

2. Meachem is doing a good job of eviscerating Trump

without ever referencing him.

[Siwsan]

5. That's my take, too

It was wonderful, as a tribute. Any 'side effects' - well, what are you going to do? The truth hurts.

3. Any talk of goodness, honesty and generosity

is a not so subtle insult to Trump. He’s that kind of guy. He’s that bad and pathetic.

7. There's literally no way around slamming Trump when referring to anybodys good traits in any setting

Because it's patently obvious that he has absolutely no traits that any sane/normal person regards as positive, moral, etc.

9. This! n/t

8. Meachum spoke about how HW stressed the importance of truth, and not blaming others

and a number of other things that were obvious contrasts to the lying sack of crap that Dumptruck is.

10. In all the coverage of G.H.W. Bush I have been hearing

all the praise of Bush has been his honesty, his humility, his closeness to family and them to him, his long loving relationship with Barbara, the mourning of the death of Robin and then Barbara and on and on. All these thing regardless of the man's political policies stand in stark contrast of tRump. No one has to mention his name, and I am sure that he is aware that he can not stand in Bush's presence.

11. Let's remember these people KNEW GHWB, some

quite well, some all their lives. They're not consumed with Trump.

[Siwsan]

12. As he sits there with his arms crossed tightly across his chest, I suspect he is consumed with them.

It is most telling. IMHO, of course.

[HipChick]

13. Everyone else is relaxed..

he's seated forwarded, frowning...arms clenched....

[Hortensis]

14. Yes. HE is consumed with himself

because he can't be any other way, perhaps seething over not giving a eulogy (Brian Mulroney?!) and/or his legal problems. Everything's all about him. But he's the only one in that cathedral.

[UTUSN]

15. Canada just delivered at least one, "When (Poppy) spoke every leader of the world knew

(he was a gentleman or something or other) "

[nolabear]

16. Mulroney is making Individual 1 look very, very bad by comparison.

Not hard to do.

[Skidmore]

17. Muleoney's eulogy

is pointing to how Trump has not just been shreddin Dem policies but some of the good policies started by a GOP president, such as some environmental ones.

[UTUSN]

18. Another one, "The best ships are friendships, may they always be."

[UTUSN]

19. Another one, SIMPSON: "all about friendship and loyalty" (camera on SHITLER) - Oh, "don't cry for m

me Argentina!!!!!!!!!!!1"

[UTUSN]

20. Whoa, SIMPSON listed Poppy's multiple legislative victories (vs SHITLER's)

[UTUSN]

21. SIMPSON, "humor... against the abrasive parts of life - NEVER HATED anyone"
