Didn’t Get a Thank-you
Author: Raine    Date: 03/21/2019 13:11:09

He didn't thank him. A dead war Hero didn't that the occupant of the white house for his funeral. This is not a joke, it's evil.

“I gave him the kind of funeral he wanted, which as president I had to approve,” Trump said inaccurately, an apparent reference to allowing the use of military transport to carry McCain’s body to Washington. “I don’t care about this, I didn’t get a thank-you, that’s okay. We sent him on the way. But I wasn’t a fan of John McCain.”

He added, “I have to be honest, I never liked him much. Hasn’t been for me. I’ve really, probably, never will.”
I don't think he was talking about the military transport, but even if he were, this horrible excuse for a CiC wants to thanks for doing the bare minimum -- showing decency for a man that was a prisoner of war.

While John McCain was held captive in Vietnam, tRump got out of going to serve with a note from a doctor that said he had 'bone spurs'

But here the thing that really, pisses me off. He didn't give him the funeral he wanted. The McCain family did. The National Cathedral provided the service the family wanted. Congress gave him space for the public to mourn Senator John McCain.

The very idea that an occupant of the White House think they have charge over the National Cathedral, part of the Episcopalian Church is by far one of the most incredible things I could ever imagine from an American. He also does not get to say who does or does not lie in state at the Capitol.

If I recall correctly, he was forced to lower the flags at half staff.

Yet, he thinks he deserves a 'Thank-you' for things he has no control over -- from a dead man. That's the kind of thinking from monarchies. It's the thinking of a dictator. In this case, a deeply deranged sick human being.

Mornin' all...

I'm pretty damn outraged by the total disrespect being done by these jerks. Yes, it's not just doing it.

Man, I wish we had a dancing Mr. Hanky emote that looks like .

But on another note today, there's an article in the NY Times today about the 737 mishaps. It highlights that, among other things, certain safety features that may have helped keep the planes from crashing were sold exclusively as an expensive optional upgrade, which airline companies couldn't afford.

WHY the HELL are ALL safety features NOT STANDARD EQUIPMENT?!!!!?!!?!?

I was reading the comments section about this article and saw this:

Steve Jobs had some advice for Rupert and it goes for Lachlan as well. Rupert didn't listen:
“You’re blowing it with Fox News,” Steve Jobs told Murdoch:

“The axis today is not liberal and conservative, the axis is constructive-destructive, and you’ve cast your lot with the destructive people. Fox has become an incredibly destructive force in our society. You can be better, and this is going to be your legacy if you’re not careful.”

~Steve Jobs From Walter Isaacson’s biography of Steve Jobs


I tell people that WaPo is generally the only place I read the comments section. Even with the few conservatives that post stupid stuff, there are so many intelligent well-learned people there.

The world doesn't view the invasion and occupation of Golan Heights as legal. It will have the support of the hard core zionists and end-timers who see Greater Israel as the road to the apocalypse.
