> [@bump](#): > > True, but I think they’d be trying to set a precedent of sorts that Presidential funerals should be apolitical, not make any kind of statement about the man himself. A lot of precent has been made during our MAGA years. I suspect we’ll see some more unpleasant precendents before it’s all over. Any living former president choosing to avoid Trump’s funeral isn’t going to upset me in the slightest. I expect any MAGA who are still around and willing to admit to being MAGA will engage in performative outrage. Ultimately I don’t think MAGA really, genuinely cares about anyone. They didn’t care about Charlie Kirk and they won’t care all that much when Trump finally kicks the bucket. It’ll be like the ending of the _Truman Show_ when they air the last episode. People will simply change to another channel. ---

Yeah, there’s a surprising number of people who’ve either spoken out against or endorsed Talarico over Paxton. The ones that surprised me the most are Karl Rove, Barbara Bush (W’s daughter), Dade Phelan (former Speaker of the Texas House), and Neil Bush (brother of W, former Ted Cruz campaign staffer). ---

Sadly, when they lay that putrid body into the earth I expect it to be in a private inaccessible location to foil all of us who plan to mark our territory on his tombstone. Maybe it will be in Ivanka’s estate to enable her to take a tax credit for having a cemetery on her property. ---

Maybe they’ll enclose his grave in the same type of impregnable wall that separates us from Mexico. ---

It’s the end of the month. Do you think we haven’t noticed that he disappears for a few days at the end of the month, every goddamn month?

They say it’s his schedule. WTF is his schedule? Watch television. Tweet batshit nonsense. Read shit that Natalie prints from deranged web sites. Eats junk food. Kisses photos of Putin and Kim Jong Un. Orders DOJ to make baseless charges against people he hates. Eats junk food, throws a tantrum and throws ketchup at the wall. Stays up half the night ant tweets psychotic shit. Falls asleep fantasizing about Putin’s ass. ---

Trump was asked if the cancellations were because he was sick of travelling. He unloaded on the reporter, calling him a ‘sick guy’ and calling Reuters ‘terrible’.

My favorite part was the sick burn “…put yourself in shape, you look like hell” Too bad no one asked if Florida isn’t doing well, since the alleged reason for the schedule change is that the Kansas senator is doing very well so he’s going to FL instead. ---
