Ok, this is, uh,
One of Bush’s former senior aides, Ron Kaufman, now a Republican national committeeman from Massachusetts, said Bush’s death marked “the end of a culture — a culture of civility.” Above all, Kaufman and other Republican leaders — many Trump supporters — lamented the partisan divide that dominates modern politics in America, made even starker when compared to the style and substance of Bush.
Yeah, “it’s not our fault!” Fuck you, shithead.
Well, in Poppy’s time they merely dog-whistled to the neo-Confederates and neo-Nazis, and they refrained from saying they were fine people in public, especially after they defended foreign dictators and a party which exacerbated the AIDS Crisis. That’s called manners.
I could go on at infinite length, but I’ll just quote the Tao Te Ching:
Civility is a ritual, nothing more.
As far as the partisan divide stuff goes, they’re just angry nobody’s shy about calling them out on their bullshit anymore.
Craftsman? Not Snap-On Tools, former sponsor of Billie Jean King?
What, it’s not forty years ago? 
Given a choice between the two, I would go with Snap-On for better quality. IME, anyway.
It is charming, as the links inform that the movement has expanded to kick out official having married a muslim and has expanded to include some of Shafi’s defenders.
Strange this resembles the actions of a certain infamous political movement that also considered it blood polluting crime to marry the wrong religion.
Hilarious. In Europe, we have to acknowledge some suspicions about Islam. Invariably concerned about possible illiberality. Only in Texas could anyone say with a straight face that practising Muslims are not socially conservative enough. 
Ari Fleischer, former press secretary, makes a point.Or something. I can’t quite figure out what it is though:
'Every VP since 1977 is at President Bush’s funeral, except one. Mondale, Quayle, Gore, Cheney, Biden, and Pence are there. The only one missing is President Reagan’s VP, George HW Bush."
Wow. Just wow.
Although you would think the guy would be on time for his own funeral, right?
And he is factually wrong, unless someone else is in that casket.
What better way to honor a late Republican president than to try to overturn democracy in Wisconsin?
Also, today is the day that all Democrats are to be rounded up and imprisoned. According to QAnon lunatics. Can’t wait to see what happens when this prediction is wrong. Again.
“Maybe you do not care much about the future of the Republican Party. You should. Conservatives will always be with us. If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy.”

Time to think inside the box.
He must be trying to get a job with Trump, as that is the number 1 qualification.
I am too embarrassed to say how long it took me get that. :o
So, there they are, all ex-Presidents and their wives, seated in the very front. Obama, Carter, Bush, Clinton. Two empty seats awaiting the entrance of Himself, which after the appropriate time, occurs. Protocol? Because he isn’t just an ex-President, he is the President, the one who won the yuge electoral college landslide. Lesser folk are seated, then he makes his entrance…
Michelle iced him something nasty, though. That was kind of worth it.
I think that that Fleischer tweet was a joke. I think. Though of course, with Poe’s Law, you can never be sure.
He shook hands with both Obamas, Bill Clinton sort of looked at him to acknowledge him, and Hillary looked straight ahead without even acknowledging his existence.
I really don’t think it was. It would be a strange joke.
