His mouth is why he's not the President right now, and if he continues opening his mouth when there's no need to, his 2024 campaign will fail for the same reason, and we'll be stuck with another crappy Dem in the White House.
Thank you for proving my point.
Powell was a crap republican. Those trying to paint him any different are LYING to set an agenda.
Just because a dead man is dead does not mean we should rewrite history to be kind to his legacy. That does noone any good.
When someone passes away, idiots ridiculously believe that is the time to rewrite their life.
This is false.
After death a life should be examined for what it was- the good and the bad. That is how we learn from their life and improve our own.
Rewriting history serves no purpose except to make you feel better because you can fool yourself into thinking your forgiveness of the errors of their humanity is virtuous.
That bull**** is why we are where we are as a society and regressing
Next time a Facebook friend dies, make sure to air their dirty laundry and how much you disliked them. Before the funeral preferably.
That will surely help society.

Which we all will agree is reprehensible behavior in response to the death of someone who dedicated their life to their country or Trump.

Trump didn't air dirty laundry.
He did an analysis of Powell's professional failures and how they hurt the country. He never accused him of having a mistress, sleeping around, etc.
A death is a perfect time to reflect on someone's professional legacy and how it impacted the country and society.

That wasn't some thoughtful nuanced reflection of Powell's successes and failures. Nothing said was positive. I certainly wouldn't call it a reflection.
That was a "hahahaha you are dead and I can crap on you" post. You may like that. But don't make it more high brow than it is.
Then he wouldn't be Trump. Trump has never shied away from saying what he thinks, that's his greatest strength and weakness. He was also going to be asked about it considering his relationship with Powell and all of the nasty things Powell has said about Trump for years.pagerman @ work said:He didn't have to pretend anything. He simply could have said nothing. Why is that so hard for him (and his cult of personality) to understand?Quote:
Would it be nice if Trump pretended that they didn't hate each other? I guess so but that isn't the world we live in anymore. No doubt the day Trump dies the Left will spend weeks jumping up on top of his grave and insulting him. It's not like Trump got any credit for being nice to McCain's legacy when he died either.

Exactly. The only people who like this statement are people who were, to a man, already going to vote for him (assuming a 2024 run). It harms him with every single other potential voter.
As much as I detest Trump, I wouldn't say anything like that if it was him who had passed away. His lack of common decency is astounding.PJYoung said:Quote:

Things are going to get a LOT worse soon.

Trump is the chinese water torture of stupid, unnecessary statements. No individual drop is bigger than any other, but the accumulated amount is what does it.
Everyone that voted against him last time just had their reasoning reinforced.
And you can make fun of "mean tweet" voters all you like, but they are real and you ignore them at your peril.
