Deplorables are saying Senator McCain asked Barack Obama to eulogize him to spite Trump. (Original Post) DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2018 OP
Maybe he just asked him because he was the most recent legitimately elected President. Respect! dameatball Sep 2018 #1
Maybe, probably he liked him. DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2018 #2
Certainly that as well. That's why I mentioned respect. He had none for Trump. dameatball Sep 2018 #3

He can have whomever he damn well wants to eulogize him. Trump's cult followers are as paranoid and petty as he is.

So what? Is this more proof that John McCain *WHO IS DEAD* refuses to kowtow to our asshole-in-chief? So fucking what? Trump spends half his life accusing Obama of every sin since Eden and the other half accusing Hillary Clinton of pedophilia. Why shouldn't Obama go off on Trump--which he didn't, anyway, being a civilized human being.

Fuck them and all their stupid theories. Everything in the world is not about Trump, assholes.

Whatever you say, they'd say the opposite. And it was never meant to be taken seriously. But these idiots live there, I'm convinced. They literally say the opposite of whatever a competent person would say.

Trump and all of his little Trumpons should really be complaining they didn't get a chance to kiss his ass while he was alive.

Even if that is true, what does it matter? What would it mean if a non-deplorable conceded this point and agreed it was true? Does this fact (if it were one) buttress some argument or conclusion? About what?


I suspect the reason behind this line of talk is to try to undermine the idea that McCain respected Obama (or that Obama is in any way deserving of respect), and that Obama was worthy of speaking at McCain's funeral (or worthy of anything for that matter). These deplorables are still hung up on a black man accomplishing something they never will.

Their greatest joy of the current situation is in seeing the liberals heads explode. They don't care that our heads are exploding because of basic rights and services that are being taken away from ALL Americans, including them.

Which is entirely unfair.

Trumpers are allowed to trigger libruls, but it's absolutely and entirely for ANYBODY to hurt the feelings of Trumpers.
