pres trump - you are commander in chief by law, duty bound to honor sen mccain
ignoring his death is a disgrace

[MontanaMama]

1. Love that Brokaw did not capitalize

Dotard's name. Guess he didn't capitalize any of the tweet so maybe it isn't significant...but still. Civilized Americans agree:

This pResident is a disgrace.

2. Tom Brokaw finally stands up!

Now, where's Colin Powell?

The establishment Republicans need to stand for something.

[lpbk2713]

3. "Dear Mr President ... you suck."

That would be more to the point.

[Perseus]

4. Stop it everyone please...

McCain wants the bastard to ignore him, he doesn't want anything to do with him, not even at death and that is why he made sure to dis-invite him from his funeral.

Leave trump alone, I don't think anyone wants his hypocritical actions to be associated with McCain, I have to think that the last thing the McCain family wants is any type of association with the man-child.

His supporters also made it clear of what their feelings towards McCain are, which are in direct alignment with those of the man-child...why would Brokaw or anyone else try to bring him to do anything that McCain made sure he would not do? Stop it!

[Mr.Bill]

5. I agree. n/t

[njhoneybadger]

8. You make a very good point

[Cosmocat]

9. Honestly

given his baseline douchbagness, this is the absolute best we can expect.

That said, the point needs to be made VERY loudly the next time someone wants to foment the "They are both same" bullshit that a guy who served, was a POW, had a long distinguished career in congress was rejected at his death by his party/respected at his death by the other party, due to him not being a complete right wing extremist.

10. Yes

Suddenly it's become all about trump and his reactions when it should be all about Senator McCain.

[Whiskeytide]

15. Yep. He just loves...

... the attention being on him. It’s just that simple. Douchbagginess and all, he’s happy a lot of people are talking about him instead of McCain.

[aggiesal]

12. You make some good points, but ...

it's not IQ45 that is honoring McCain, it is the nation that is honoring McCain.
We just have an idiot in the WH that thinks everything is about IQ45.

[Achilleaze]

14. Pecking Party

Americans see that this is wounding the already wounded republican scallywag, who they regard as a clear and present danger to the safety, security, and social and economic well being of the nation. He is a treasonous monster. So now that there is blood on his draft-dodging golf shirt, people who care about American democracy are almost compelled to peck away in hopes he will - as he so richly deserves - collapse from the sheer weight of all the hate and misery he has stirred up.

Famous "pecking party" scene from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, with Jack Nicholson:

[vlyons]

25. I completely disagree

What about what I and millions of my other decent co-Americans want? We want a POTUS that can, without effort or hypocracy, represent and embody decency and honor and plain ol' good manners. We want a POTUS, who by nature is a gentleman and honorable above all else.

I'm sorry that Trump's upbringing neglected to teach him basic values of decency and honor that the vast majority of us learned well by age 10. It is entirely appropriate to call him out on his pettiness and downright bad manners. Silence implies consent, and I assure you that the vast majority of us are appalled at Trump's behavior and definitely in no way consent to it.

6. Trump HIMSELF is a Disgrace

Haven't quite figured that out, Tom?

[relayerbob]

7. 45 cares neither for duty nor honor

only 45

11. When an ideological foe is more respectful than the Party you served for nearly 40 years

The Party you served for nearly 40 years is SHIT.

[The Liberal Lion]

13. The only mistake Mr. Brokaw made in his tweet

was calling that orange anus "commander in chief". That he is not! He is an usurper to the legitimate President of the United States: Hillary Clinton. He is not the President, he is not the Commander in Chief, he is a charlatan, a criminal, a fraud and a traitor.

[calimary]

16. Even Tom Brokaw stands up.

Where've you been, up til now, Tom?

[orleans]

17. trump is a big fucking baby

why is brokaw expecting so much from that asswipe in the white house?

[rtracey]

18. hmmm

FAKE NEWS BROKAW...... will be heard ringing throughout the oval office, situation room and west wing.

[keithbvadu2]

19. Donald will now take action... banning Brokaw.

Donald will now take action... banning Brokaw.

[Honeycombe8]

22. Like Brokaw cares. It gets to Trump when people aren't affected by his vindictiveness. nt

[Honeycombe8]

20. Wow. That means a lot coming from Brokaw. He never does things like that. nt

[spanone]

23. 👍🏼

[LudwigPastorius]

21. "duty"?

The only duty Trump believes he has is to bang porn stars and promote the agenda of Vladimir Putin.

[ginnyinWI]

24. Let all the vets in this nation see how he treats one of their own.

Let Comrade Trumpsky deal with the fallout if he can.
