The fact that you're still grinding on it months later would seem to indicate that you do care about it. As if you paid for the funeral out of your own pocket, you cheapskate.

Trump's audience would have either fled for ze hills or lapsed into a coma by now. This applies to his other white supremacist rallies as well.

He's easily the worst political orater I have ever seen.

The military part was McCain's right as a military retiree and Purple Heart recipient. If Moron tried to screw with that, I can ensure you there isn't enough shit nor fans in the world. It's not given; it's earned.

I wasn't a fan of McCain's politics, but he earned and deserved that hail and farewell.

I am sad for the passing of everyone. "Ask not for whom the bell tolls", and all that. But Trump is demonstrably toxic to all life on Earth. I will not mourn his passing. It will be like a cancerous tumor has been instantly excised from all of modern civilization.

There will be a huge sigh of relief around the world when Donald Trump is no longer our President.

Trump is angry that John did not kill the ACA, embrassed the Republicans.

His face gets redder by the minute, his lies bigger and more frequent.

Wed Mar 20, 2019, 03:49 PM

By what twisted logic is he claiming that? Lying in state was a congressional honor. Getting a military hero's funeral was a military honor.

Trump didn't even attend (nor was he invited to) the actual funeral service.

He is insane. And its all about him of course.

Some kind of official recognition by the White House?

And if it was something crucial.... (ie...Could he have ordered the military NOT to participate?, or the venue not be used?)...does he really think he'd have gotten away with being so blatantly petty? And by even suggesting that, he makes himself look even worse.

every time i think that "bar" has hit its lowest possible point, pure bedrock, it's time for another "hold my beer" moment from the Trumpsters.

at this point, i can only assume said bar is working its way through the magma of the earth's mantle and will reach the molten core sometime next year in time for the election.
