Is the BMV/DMV gonna be closed today too for that asshole?

 

The look on Trump's face is ... my god how is this mother fucker really the president ...

 

That's why he won't visit any elementary schools.

President George H.W. Bush biographer, and frequent MSNBC contributor, Jon Meacham spoke at length about 41 at the former president’s state funeral today, but he seemed at times to be speaking to President Donald Trump who sat in the front pew with three former Dem presidents.

Noting George H.W. Bush had “big strong hands,” Meacham called him America’s last great soldier statesman, a 20th century founding father” in the tradition of Washington, Adams, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Truman and Eisenhower, “Men who believe in causes larger than themselves.”

He described the senior Bush as a man who “stood in the breach in Washington against unthinking partisanship. He stood in the breach against tyranny and discrimination. And, under his watch, the wall fell in Berlin, a dictator’s aggression did not stand, and doors across America opened to those with disabilities.”

“His life code was: tell the truth, don’t blame people, be strong, do your best, try hard, forgive, stay the course,” Meacham said, describing that as “the most American of creeds.”

“Abraham Lincoln’s ‘better angels of our nature’ and George H.W. Bush’s ‘thousand points of light’ are companion verses in America’s national hymn,” Meachem said very pointedly, what with Trump being so fond of comparing himself to Lincoln, and Trump having famously mocked 41’s ‘thousand points of light’ call to Americans.

“Lincoln and Bush both called on us to choose the right over the convenient, to hope rather than to fear, and to heed not our worst impulses but our best instincts,” Meacham said, making it maybe a little tougher for Trump to connect the dots between him and Lincoln going forward.

After the funeral, MSNBC’s Willie Geist reported Meacham had written the eulogy before H.W. died and actually read it to the ailing president, who responded, “That’s a lot about me, Jon.”

 

I read the replies. Why am I this dumb

 

Is this an ad for Blue Apron?

 

You're damn right.

Wait, I'm not getting paid for this ... uh ... no.

 

The Post Office was closed today but it doesn't matter because I use Stamps.com. Save when you use the promo code: WTF.

 

hmmm personally I'm not too crazy about sweet pork. I like my pigs salty and/or spicey. but I lean salty in mostly everything.

 

Got my nachos from freebirds today for lunch. Was very good.

 

you're not as dumb as dave, jason

at least you got that.

 

This is pretty much exactly what I would do if I held office right now. Put it all, even the ‘mundane’, out there and have some fun with it.

Booker was cute and all with his omg let me address constituents on twitter thing but this is much much better

 

People need to realize that Joe biden has been tightly controlled for the past decade and was making a gaffe a minute during 2008 before he dropped out. I predict he will do lethal damage to his own campaign within ~4 months of announcing. I truly don’t believe he will be able to not say something stupid.

 

I don't want O'Rourke or Gillum to run yet plz....they are solid VP candidates but no plz not yet guys.

 

I forget who said it, but there’s also the point that someone made about how dude is one unwanted massage away from getting his own hashtag
