ENOUGH. Criticism of Sec Clinton for possibly issuing a mild snub to trump stops now. He has spent years calling her crooked, exhorting his cult to screech "lock her up," & otherwise insulting her. He's lucky she had the grace to simply look away from his orange fucking face.

(10,170 posts)I've avoided the whole spectacle of parading the dead king. Americans really need to get in touch with their egalitarian and more democratic side.
But now the corporate media is using it as an excuse to trash Hillary? What a bunch of feudal vassals want to be.

(15,537 posts)I flipped the local news on this morning to catch the weather forecast and the first thing I hear is something about his funeral today. Jesus Christ on a pogo stick! How long is this going to go on? I'm old enough to remember JFK's funeral and even that extremely sad occasion didn't go on for this long.
My father used to say "death is the great equalizer". Much truth in that. I don't care how much money someone has or how much of a celebrity they are, when you die you're no different than the poorest schmuck amongst us and not any more or less important than them either.
With regard to Hillary, she wasn't there to honor Trump or anyone else other than an ex-President. You should never feed a narcissist's ego. Glad she did this.

Fucking Chris Matthews actually states that she doesnt like Jimmy Carter - because there was a single shot of her not interacting with him in the PresidentialPew yesterday. There were actually plenty of shots of the two of them chatting and smiling and visible camaraderie.
I am SO FUCKING SICK AND TIRED of the nonstop disrespect for Hillary Rodham Clinton!!!!! Yes. Im SHOUTING!
Im fucking FED UP with it. That poor woman seems to be everybodys favorite punching bag. I will never understand why. Beyond suspicions that too many people just cant handle the very idea of a strong, competent, and brilliant woman at her level of achievement.

(16,179 posts)I was very glad to hear there had been friendliness between them a little earlier. Jimmy is a hero of mine and it was sad when it appeared they were ignoring each other, which is what it looked like for a good ten minutes, all the while the contrast of Barry-Michelle-Bill being their jovial outgoing selves. for that matter I was sad to see Jimmy wasnt reaching out to talk to Hillary either.
However, I dont blame you for being tired of it.
Generally I agree with you. This morning morning joe did a stupid montage of Ivanka and Hillary, alternating their words on emails in private accounts. Beating a dead horse, and out of context I think Hillarys emails were done before the rules were made clear. Not to mention that Ivanka is a young spoiled traitor while Hillary is a hardworking and intensely patriotic who worked hard her entire life. Theres no comparison.

(9,426 posts)that Hillary is jealous of Maleria's beauty!!! WHAT? Hillary is educated and ambitious, would never have thought of whoring for a living or marrying for $$$. Hillary has the wealth if she wanted to have plastic surgery to "remodel" her face completely, she could. She will not, because she is a beautiful, confident woman. Air head Maleria will be getting plastic surgery for the rest of her life, and STILL will age just as we all do, only she will have no self respect, either. Disgusting that the "Forst Lay-dee" is a former nude model/escort. Anyone in the world can google her nude photos. She is not so special nude, either.
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)That's all they've got. There is no reason to be jealous of Melania. If anything, she is to be pitied.

Hillary looks warm, humorous and inviting.

LiberalFighter
(50,922 posts)My rational mind can't find any really legitimate reason to despise her or otherwise be opposed to her. From what I have seen she tries to do the right thing based on the situation. There have been situations where I would had preferred her doing it sooner just like with Obama. But remember that most people tend to go with the flow especially with certain ideas and beliefs from their age.
The haters make up excuses and can't find a reasonable reason to oppose her.

(989 posts)What's worst of all is that so many of her fellow Dems can't stand her, either, like one I spoke to yesterday. I had to bite my tongue because he's a family friend.
BlueMTexpat
(15,369 posts)He would not remain a "family friend" long in MY family and that's for sure!
I have no time, patience or empathy for ANYONE, so-called "Dem" or not, who "can't stand her." Anyone who says that tells me ALL that I need to know about THEM ... and I don't want to know any more.
At my age (going on 75), I have seen enough BS in my life to know it exactly for what it is. I choose to avoid such BSers and hopefully they will choose to avoid me.
BlueMTexpat
(15,369 posts)she is the absolute antithesis to everything that Trump is ... and, in spite of everything they threw at her in 2016, she STILL received three million more popular votes.
Mathews is another Trump-like POS and anyone who feels, acts, and speaks like him about this wonderful woman is also a POS.
Your suspicion is SPOT ON!
NEVER doubt that!

(6,854 posts)Christians, were at a funeral, in a formal church setting, of someone they knew personally, and wanted quiet moments of reflection with respect to their own and others mortality, while the others found peace in talking and laughing with other mortals?
Its a personal thing. People behave differently at funerals. (My MIL could not abide laughing and joking a post-funeral repast/shiva. My friends mother could not stand watching people stuff their faces. Im Irish ... as are Bill Clinton and Barack Obama ... they/ we have seen it all).
