I don't try to change anyone's mind about Trump with my posts. I post here to document the atrocious Trump and his administration so that someday we can look back and shake our collective heads at the time 30 percent of America lost its moral compass and supported the worst president to ever sit in the Oval Office.
Once, long ago, the GOP admired all things military to the point of fetishsizing anyone or anything associated with military service. Not anymore. We listen in amazement to the silence in the GOP while its morally diseased president insults, demeans, and mocks a dead naval officer who spent five years as a POW in Vietnam. It's astounding that very few Goopers have come out against Trump's shockingly dishonorable behavior. None of the usual right wing blogs have said a word about it. Moral cowards. That seems to be the only group left in the Party of Lincoln these days. Moral cowards.
I write this to document once again Trump's determination to drag the GOP down to his petty, juvenile level where he never lets a grievance go unTwittered. And when he does so, the whole world sees what a small, jealous, inadequate human being he truly is.

Trump, as usual, is lying. He didn't "give" McCain the "funeral he wanted." Trump had nothing to do with it, except to supply Air Force Two to fly McCain to Washington D.C. for the honors and the memorial service he deserved, and to which Trump was barred, by order of the desceased and his family. This must be the core of Trump's jealously and envy. He was not allowed to be present at a very important national event to honor a national hero -- something that Trump knows he'll never be.

Frankly. I am not a fan of McCain either. However he served his country honorably in a time of war. The child in chief has not only dishonored our military, he dishonors our Constitution, our rule of law and all of America.
I hope he dies in misery for all his sins. He is an evil man.

Nice.
Recommended.
Trump is obviously deeply dysfunctional, probably and in part the result of growing up in an abusive family situation.
Unfortunately, all of us are a part of the family as long as this malignant narcissist is the President.

I liked that one. Fitting for tantrums he spews 20 times a day. I wonder how many times a day his diaper needs changing each day. Goddess knows he is full of shit.

That would be McCain. I heard that on Morning Joe this morning, but I was not listening closely enough to hear who they were quoting. But I think that is perfect. And oh so true lol.

According to the Washington National Cathedral: "Only a state funeral for a former president involves consultation with government officials. No funeral at the Cathedral requires the approval of the president or any other government official.
