I do however look at Republicans with a side eye for electing a moron......
Stop blaming only the Republicans for electing Trump... actually it was Hillary's fault for alienating all the Bernie Sanders supporters.

On NPR two weeks ago, some political pundit, a Democrat, had observed that during the last presidential campaign, before the primary he saw only Bernie signs all over VT and no Hillary signs. Then after she stole the Democratic nomination, there still weren't any Hillary signs up in VT. Bernie supporters just didn't like Hillary at all, and disliked her enough to not vote for her.

Well said. I didn’t watch any of either funeral. I read a few news clips but that was it.

LOL! Now you guys are all worried about civility and respect. I don't hear any of you Trump supporters taking him to task when he tweets far more despicable **** almost every goddamn day.

Yet another thread precepted upon a fallacious statement disguised as a universal edict of fact.

Americans are not outraged at a non hyper politicized McCain's funeral.

Of course you don't. I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

So please explain why it’s so relevant that Trump went to his funeral when no other presidents did. He wasn’t a member of Congress so who cares. Hence my reference to Aretha.

I wasn't so much outraged as I was annoyed at how petty the McCain family have been during this entire drawn-out event that was carefully orchestrated and paid for by the American taxpayer. In addition, they showed no gratitude to the Trump administration for everything they did to help these people give John a nice sendoff including allowing them to use AF2 to crisscross the country all on the taxpayer.

They should be happy the Big 3 was McCain 24/7. It gave them a break on their reporting about how corrupt their dear leader was and always will be.

I said it back in 2009 and other instances when the Big 3 was reporting on someone or an issue that you are tired of hearing about..."Turn off the damn T V and go do something with your life".

Well the McCain family has a right to "outrage" toward Trump after his continual petty and disgusting remarks to the press about JM being captured. Just indicates his narcissistic jealousy of an honorable man who didn't take multiple deferments. And speaking of expense to the American taxpayer, what about the obnoxious narcissistic parade Trump wanted? No outrage about that waste of $ ?
