One of the dumbest things I heard today!

I thought Trump Bull crap was the worse today but this really took the cake for me.


co-worker: "I don't want to hear how Trump disrespected John Lewis when Jimmy Carter wasn't at the service either!"

sessions anymore Additionally the Carter's tribute was read at the funeral service today.

The WH didn't even send a representative proving one more time that the Con and his enablers have no understanding of protocol. John Lewis is a holder of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The Con is a disgrace even among lowlife scumbags

Former President Jimmy Carter paid tribute to the late civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) in remarks read aloud at his funeral in Atlanta on Thursday.

Though a spokesperson for, Carter, 95, and his wife, former first lady Rosalynn Carter, 92, told NBC News on Wednesday that the two would be unable to attend the funeral in person as they “are not traveling these days,” the former president sent prepared remarks that were read during the service on Thursday afternoon.

Rev. Raphael Warnock, pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was baptized and preached along with his father, read the remarks from Carter.

Thankfully I was not on a Zoom call my jaw dropped and I rolled my eyes at the same time. Never thought I do that at the same time.
