CNN's Avlon: Don't Give Trump 'Medal' for Not 'Screwing Up' H.W. Passing
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/06/2018 9:33:35 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

God rest the soul of George H.W. Bush. But God forbid that President Trump should receive credit for according H.W. all possible honors and conducting himself with grace during the funeral service.

That latter, ungracious, thought was on John Avlon's mind this morning. The CNN commentator, on New Day, reacted to a statement by former Bush 43 aide Scott Jennings, praising President Trump's handling of the passing of H.W.

Sneered Avlon:

"I don't think you want to give out too many medals for not screwing up a presidential funeral. The President was on best behavior this week, but that's a fairly low bar."

Oh, for heaven's sake!! The McCain hate fest dragged on forever and was a mess. They decided to do it without any help from President Trump.

President Trump was given due respect for the office by primarily (so it seems) GWB and Laura. Thus, President Trump and Melania were in charge of an appropriate and dignified mourning period and funeral, with complete military honors. Has it ever been done better and with more decorum? (except for the trailer-trash tendencies of the Obamas and the Clintons. They were engaged in casual conversation while everyone else was in silent contemplation before the funereal service began)

PS: Apologies to residents of trailers. I was using the term as a cliché with meaning.

I’d give Trump a Nobel Prize.

"Did you see the Morning Joe crew this morning try to tie Trump to Epstein?"

I certainly did see it. It was vile and blatant. He was reeling off the type of people who patronized Orgy Island...mentioning "famous politicians", "lawyers", etc....adding at the end (just by chance, I'm sure, yah)...."New York real estate men"......

I agree 100% with your post, GOPJ, that "it was the most disgusting and obvious example of press hatred I've ever seen".

Even Alan Dershowitz's name was deliberately thrown into the mix in connection with the scandal.

Dershowitz is a democrat - the reason Joe's sycophants threw him in was because he's a legal scholar who has told the truth about the Mueller's witch hunt.

I don't know if Dershowitz's connected to Epstein - but I do know he was an active democrat for many years... and supported the liberal elites... so anything is possible.

I trust his legal judgement... not so sure about his 'liberal values' in the past. I do know that compared to the clintons - if dirty means the Clintons are covered with mud and sh*t, and pus is dripping out of their every pore - that Dershowitz by comparison might have a little dirt under his fingernails.

The last perfect person was able to walk on water... it's a matter of degree...

My observations as someone who’s trusting “The Plan” (Q) watching the coverage of the Bush state funeral.

1) The hypocrisy of the MSM going from 24/7 Bush bashing while he was in offfice to complete adoration no that he’s dead.

2) POTUS/FLOTUS and all the ex’s crammed together in the same pew HAD to be THE most difficult duration for all of them. The countenances on their faces spoke volumes.

3) With the only exception for Trump, upon entering a voting booth to cast your vote having been deduced to casting said vote for he lesser of two evils. The lesser of two evils is still evil and refuse to be made to feel heartless by not joining in mourning and becoming a hypocrite Ike the MSM.

Yes, which considering he has been defending Trump whenever one of these alleged "Bombshells" have dropped and reported as the end of Trump by the other networks.... regularly.. he has been on Fox saying it's a "nothingburger"(my description)

Can't have the captive Jews or any other captive minority escaping the Democratic plantation.

This is a warning shot for other Democrats who try to think for themselves.

Watching MSNBC this morning too and the Stephanie Ruhle show were lambasting Trump for violating the Constitution because the Saudis bought a block of reservations at his Washington hotel during his inauguration.

You can be sure had he personally ordered his hotel to refuse them, they'd be blaming him for racism, not corruption.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't
