No state funeral for fotus.
This is only about Trump trying to rewrite history, although I hope he is also trying to assuage his tormented conscience. I doubt the latter, though.
May we offer the same courtesy in response to Trump’s death
And nobody cared.
Or for Jimmy Carter because of Trump’s Inauguration?
There is a bigger headline here. Formerly absolutist, later fascist and/or communist regimes do this. East German children until 1989 went to school named after a border guard who by Stasi Reports died by a stray coming from behind.
Meaning the regime knew he was killed by their own yet buried with full honors and it was the only truth for 3 decades.
There are so many bad memories and daily outrages that it’s hard to keep track. Thanks for reminding us. He has always been a spiteful loser.
Turning an absolute traitor to this country into a hero according to the book, "How to be a Dictator," ghost written of course, though claimed to be written by trump. We all see he is turning violent traitors into his mindless lapdogs who will do his bidding, yes? This is so so dark.
Well these same fuckers still celebrate the Confederacy, so par for the course
Folks, I was not a fan of John McCain by any means. But any other president would’ve flown the flag at half-staff for him, regardless of party affiliation. Meanwhile this president is honoring a fucking insurrectionist.
Only because she was “his” insurrectionist. She became a MAGA legend.
Winning elections fixes it.
Hey, say what you want about John McCain but he was an incredible piece of shit that sucked
Correct but my point stands.
Trump needs to get the same treatment he gave McCain when he finally drops dead. Hopefully today.
There are no words for just how disgusting this is.
I’m throwing up. Again.
As a former service member, I threw up in my mouth when I read that last night. Didn’t post it here because I couldn’t adequately vent my spleen in less than 300 characters.
Rule 1 of Trump’s America: It must always be about Trump. And I just now realized the USA is being led by Zaphod Beeblebrox.
Not to mention honoring one of Putin's killers: edition.cnn.com/2025/08/20/p...
Will Trump be offering these honors to Jeffrey Dahmer's family? Will they be contacting the family of Timothy McVeigh as well to offer this?
One of the few times I sorta agreed with Trump. John McCain was a douchecanoe.
This is wrong. John McCain was a bad dude but he was a veteran and a Senator. Every other president would’ve flown the flag at half staff regardless of party. They’re doing a funeral for Ashli fucking Babbitt.
I don't want to fall into the whole reply guy trope, so I'll stop, only saying that I find the almost universal USA reverence for people who have been employed by the armed services to be a little weird. Definitely appreciate and agree with 99% of your posts, though.
Every country in the world honors the people who serve in its military and who are taken as prisoners of war you absolute tool.
Also, I don’t want your engagement. I’m not here to engage with you. I’m here to tell you in no uncertain terms that you’re wrong. Any other poorly contexted posts you’d like to retweet?
I was going to say something too, but sir, you absolutely hit the nail on the head.
You just implied that American obsession with military is the reason a person like John McCain received honors. You have demonstrated disrespect and antipathy for 340 million people. You don’t get respect in return for that.
I'm not implying it - I'm saying it outright. John McCain was a corrupt, abusive, adulterous piece of garbage, and the fact that he was also a terrible pilot who crashed numerous planes doesn't change any of that.
You’re a POS with no understanding of which you speak. When you say no country in the world would honor a prisoner of war you are saying things that are counter factual. When you say things like this post, you deserve no respect from anyone on the internet or in the world, just so we’re clear.
I will retire from this interaction, humbled in the knowledge that no one in the world respects me.
You should do exactly that before other people point out that your country shows reverence to 30,000 prisoners of war from WW2.
Not the point. Jfc.
Also he’s accusing someone every day of treason for doing some peaceful first amendment thing or other and yet….
Yikes
Life is short, eternity is forever. AfterDeathTruth.net Be Ready!
Trump is a petty ass loser.
I almost can’t believe it.
She isn’t already buried long ago? Has she been on ice for four years?
Giving full military honors to an insurrectionist.🤬 Just gonna keep saying it... Conservatism is a sociopathic mental disorder.
Or the time they hid a ship named after him so that Trump wouldn't have to see it? www.bbc.com/news/world-u...
In other news, Trump will award posthumous Medal of Freedom to Aldrich Ames.
Oh, FFS. It’s like he turned over a rock and the worst people in America came slithering out and he put them in his cabinet or started honoring them in other ways.
Pretty nice treatment for a violent insurrectionist attacking the Capitol over Trump's stupid selfish lie.
If Trump died while I was in charge, I'd have people put extensions on the flagpoles so we could fly the flags a little higher.
