A discussion yesterday got me to think about it too!

When Trump finally gets to meet his final demise, should he be given military honors?

My answer is absolutely NOT! Although he’s the commander in cheat? He should never be given the honor as those before him. He has been the worst of the worst and given that honor is a slap in the face to anyone who actually deserves that honor.

It’s not an easy question, but then again? Yes, the question is obviously a question of whether he worthy. Then it is a matter of his corrupt leadership which should be addressed!

There are those presidents who never severed in the military during war or peace time. But they never disgraced the office of president nor were they blatantly corrupt or incompetent to do their duty.

So, I’m sure he will get military honors, but it will be extremely difficult to except the notion that he was given the honors.

Personally, I think he only deserves a Hefty bag on the south forty, where the coyotes can have him---but that's an awful thing to do to coyotes, which are really beautiful creatures......


Anybody want to join the pool on when the blessed event will happen?

We will be bombarded by the MSM with the biggest tsunami of bullshit the world has ever seen. They will attempt to outdo their coverage of Reagan's demise. There will be memorials opening up all over the country. They Fascists will do everything they can to flood the system.
