Powell is Dead, and Trump is being an Ass again

Post by Alf'Omega »

FOX News, within minutes of news of Powell's death, immediately used this sad story to push one of their favorite narratives, which is to belittle the efficacy of vaccines.

And then we get this...

I have no doubt the media will treat Trump in death way better than he deserves. I know this, because they already treat him better than he deserves.

Thankfully, the majority of the public will miss that posthumous BS because they'll be out partying.

Powell is Dead, and Trump is being an Ass again
I just have a couple minor quibbles with this thread title:

- The word "again" implies that Trump somehow took a break from being an ass, but has now resumed
- "Trump is being an Ass again" implies that Trump has control over whether he's an ass or not

Trump seems to have a special enmity for military heroes. He's very uncomfortable with the notion of self-sacrifice. If you want to know where the Republican Party is nowadays, look for a Colin Powell type Republican. Difficult to find in the forest of sycophants and opportunists.

I would say Trump is being unbelievably disrespectful, but unfortunately for the world, it is all too believable that our former president can be this disrespectful.

Rest in peace, Colin Powell.

I had precisely that same quibble with the thread title, and considered posting about that myself. I'm glad you did, and I couldn't agree more! I have very little doubt that future historians will be almost unanimous in regarding Trump as the worst, most corrupt and most divisive President in U.S history.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Trump is always looking to set a new low.
