Fake president is not sitting with all the past presidents at John McCain’s funeral. Very telling. I bet Sen is smiling.
-
That's because the Swamp fears the outsider businessman who dared to come into their crooked town and try to clean it up.
-
Only Trump followers are weak and fearful. Afraid of truth, afraid of people of color, afraid of others from another country, afraid of women, afraid of stating they were wrong. Cowards.
-
Trump supporters include people of color, you race baiter. And they include LEGAL immigrants from other countries. And they include women. All inconvenient facts for liberal hate-mongers.
-
You are young. Once again I’ll say you can’t accuse Trump followers of being smart.
-
Got a doctorate. What do you have beside a nursing license? Trashing Trump supporter as stupid is the mark of a petty mind, and a middling IQ.

Yet Trumps daughter and her husband are in attendance???


-
Maria, I saw that too. I'm so weirded out by that. They wouldn't be invited either. They aid Trump in furthering his agenda.
-
Exactly. Perhaps they hold a friendship but still it’s tough to see anyone from that family there.

Would've been nice if his "last word" was resigning his seat in Congress so there could be a special election, instead of holding on to the end so the Trump-supporting governor can appoint his successor.
