Decent men - Obama, Bush to give eulogy at McCain’s funeral. Trumpo disinvited

[Reasonable]

But more than just the culmination of a political feud, the specter of Mr. Trump’s highly visible absence from Mr. McCain’s funeral on Saturday morning at Washington National Cathedral underscored the degree to which the president has veered from the norms of his office, unwilling to act as a unifying force at major moments in the life of the country.”

As a Nation Mourns McCain, Trump Is Conspicuously Absent

The demise of civility and unity in the Trump era, indeed.

President Trump was asked not to attend by the decedent and his family, so he didn't . That's the height of civility, not showing up when they ask you to stay away

 

[Reasonable]

Notice how none of these white wingers actually defend Trump.

They can't say he's a good person, or honest or has integrity.

You know you can't leave him around your teenage daughter.

Before he was president, he ripped off his workers.

His entire cabinet could end up with criminal charges.

But they swarm you hoping to shut you up.

It doesn't work. The words have been said.

You can bet no one will ever say this about DT when he croaks:

John McCain belongs to the ages. He perfectly loved this country and served it with valor, courage and integrity for 60 years. He was a patriot and a hero and America will never see a political leader like him again. He was the greatest man I’ve ever known. Godspeed John McCain.
- Steve Schmidt

 

[Reasonable]

The orange is the most hated person in the world hands down. Shame on Putin for losing him to hijack the US along with his 27% of racist minions.

There is NO QUESTION he’s not only the most hated person in the world but also the most disrespected and laughed at. That’s just a fact, not partisan politics.

 

[Reasonable]

This is already being hashed out on numerous other threads. Why start another one?

Because it is all these demented America hating bastards know how to do. Maybe someone should comment that Trumps child should be attacked by pedos.

Wouldn't that be incest?

Remember when Bush was Bushitler......

No, but do you think lying to invade Iraq was a great idea? That policy was quite indecent. I disagree with those of you continue to regard the invasion of Iraq as a decent and justifiable war of aggression. But Bush did not soil the Office of the as the current occupant does having conspired to hush a porn star he was boinking as his wife was home nursing his newborn.

You may falsely find excuses to believe that invading Iraq was a decent move on Bush’s part but can you possibly ever believe that cheating on your wife and child is an act of decency?

Maybe it's because the deepest Trumpians traffic in boorish behavior and therefore cannot recognize it anymore, but no one said Bush 43 wasn't at least worthy of respect. Sure his public style was occasionally goofy. Sure he could not figure out it's pronounced nuclear, not nucular. But he is a family man without a whiff of sexual peccadilloes. He is a playful man and knows it's "second Corinthians" and not "2 Corintians". His businesses were run clean and above board.

But further, he never stooped to personal insults. He showed respect and received respect in turn. He was not a churlish rodeo clown on the stump. He recognized racism and never defended racists.

Maybe it is due to the fact Trumpians applaud bad behavior and cannot recognize decency when they see it.

McCain croaking isn't a sad event in the least.

LMAO!!!!! Bush was called the "Unelected Chimp", he was called "Bush the Lesser". Leftards cheered when a shoe was thrown at him. I find it hilarious watching leftards trying to re-write history.

Bush was a POS but now leftards have a favorable view of "Skull and Bones" Bushpuppet........LMFAO!!!

McCain is angry and vindictive even in death and "decent men" disrespect the President.

Are you saying Trumpo actually deserves respect? On what basis?

The two dates below are important.

I detest and vehemently abhor Bush’s (March 2003) decision to invade Iraq precisely because the UN inspections were successfully determining the threat of WMD were not there. I agreed fully that in the aftermath of the 911 attack, with Bush’s (October 2002) threats of war against the Hussein regime in order to force the resumption of those inspections.

You see I could agree with Bush on something important because Bush was and still is (personally) a decent man.

So Bush was flawed in a position of great power trusted to him.

But Trumpo is not only flawed, Trump is indecent to the core of his being and he cannot change that. You Trumporoids cannot erase his deplorable character. Making money off inherited wealth and becoming a joke of a celebrity cannot hide Trumpo’s slimy life.

So selfish to seek the Presidency while thinking corrupt hush money could keep his son from finding out what he was doing with a porn star soon after ttat youngest son’s birthday.

You respect that? Your respect is meaningless.

Why on earth would Trump want to attend McCain's funeral? He's not a hypocrite. The two men hated each other. This isn't news. McCain sent his man to get a copy of the dossier and Steele himself has hinted that it was either McCain or his man that leaked the dossier to BuzzFeed. McCain pushed for a Special Counsel.

McCain called the Russian collusion a scandal like Watergate without any proof. McCain constantly attacked President Trump. Trump pushed back. Enemies.

ETA: Did McCain give the dossier to BuzzFeed? Did McCain use his copy of the dossier to smear Trump?

"According to a new court document in the British lawsuit, counsel for defendants Steele and Orbis repeatedly point to McCain, R-Ariz., a vocal Trump critic, and a former State Department official as two in a handful of people known to have had copies of the full document before it circulated among journalists and was published by BuzzFeed

There are reasons why McCain wants to be honored at his funeral by the man that took away his opportunity to become president and not the one of his own Party that came later.

But decency has to be the top of the list and respect not too far behind.

Trumpo’s bad week got worse now that McCain has passed away

Trumpo can’t take back the vile and filthy things he said about McCain. The worst had to be the preference for combat troops that don’t get captured so McCain was no hero.

What gave you done Trumporoids? Will you start admitting regret yet?

Do you speak Russian much? Perhaps you should send some $$$ to Clinton Foundation.

No. McCain disagreed with your beloved Trumpo Clown President personally as a military person took offense at Trumpo’s means if political attack,

Trumpo truly hates and attacks everyone that does not buy his bullshit fake reality.

We all should hate anyone who is so devoid of moral character to declare that a captured US service member and tortured POW, from a combat role, while his own soft, chicken, rich, ass avoided serving, us not a hero because Mr. Chickenshit, prefers to honor only those that are not captured.

You may cheer that nasty bastard Trumpo , but anyone with a sense of decency would condemn it. As the McCain family and all Americans truly should.

You are excused. You are a Trumporoid. You don’t know better.

McCain added to his heroics when he stood up to the Orange Clown.

We need more Republican heroes like McCain.

That’s funny considering it comes from a devotee to the most self absorbed worthless prick in presidential history. Trumpo did not turn into a prick. He had always been one.
