I hope he does a eulogy. The perfect time for him to show off
Is trump going to bring “Red Meat” for the base voters in attendance ?
You bet he is.
He is not one to miss an opportunity for a photo op with follow up self promotion.
May I just say “Fuck Billy Graham”?
Thank you.
Billy Graham was pretty tepid on civil rights. He was not the champion of civil rights and integration that some have claimed:
Has Trump ever been inside a church?
Sure hope trump includes the Snake story in his eulogy … it would really add some class. /s
Before the funeral, Graham will be afforded the rare tribute of lying in honor in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda on Wednesday and Thursday.
Sycophant, self promoting clergyman, who died at the age of 99, and whose death was anticipated for months, is kept in deep freeze for 2 weeks by scumbag Franklin Graham so that the Nation can be subjected to the travesty of having him lie in state at the Capitol Rotunda. During the Presidency of a thrice married adulterer who has paid hundreds of women hush money.
Future historians and film makers of the absurd, are accumulating much material.
Trump doesn’t belong at the Billy Graham funeral.
of course. he goes there on occasion to “eat the little cracker.”
Has anyone explained to Trump who Billy Graham was? I’m certain he’s never heard of him.
And maybe the Moon Devil will eat the Sun God and the Lord will send the Four Horsemen and smite the host there assembled. And the world will be see justice to the Two Great ConMen of our times. I pray. Deliver us!
It will be all about Trump.
Ironically the particular version seems to come from a song that was written and performed by Oscar Brown Jr., who was all for immigrant rights and a supporter of civil rights during his lifetime. The version I remember in the 60’s was the Al Wilson version. tRump and Co. have always been OK plagiarizing, misappropriating and stealing intellectual property without giving proper credit to the writer.
Here’s the Al Wilson version:
The story itself however goes back quite a ways. I remember it from Aesop’s Fables as a kid. It was from The Farmer and the Snake. Later comes stories along a similar theme, about the scorpion and the turtle, the scorpion and the frog and so on. The allegory is always basically the same, but the story itself has various iterations, generally with similar meaning within it.
Graham’s death impresses me as the death of Newt Gingrich would. Direct line from Ben “Pitch Fork” Tillman to George Wallace to Richard Nixon to Reagan to Orange Pustule Hitler. Graham fits somewhere between Wallace and Nixon.
This For-Profit-Pietist was the gasoline accelerate that helped the rePukes abuse the Constitution with the Clinton sex scandal impeachment and thus normalized any lie and calumny uttered about Bill and Hill. The Christian Crazy worked very well to bring us where we are now. If Billy Graham believed in a Hell, I hope he is be burning there now.
Martin Luther King was America’s greatest pastor, without compare. He made many Americans very uncomfortable and that, to me, is the measure of his greatness.
Friday is a long way away. A lot can happen in five days.
Are they predicting lightning? Brimstone? Locusts?
Hope so…
And triple that for his evil spawn…
Ivanka was going to go but she denounced Jesus and is going to hell, so won’t be allowed to go.
