Your true colors, that’s why I loathed you"

ā€œIt rhymes with rich.ā€

And nothing to do with the fact that the Bush family undoubtedly hates him right down to his cells and chromosomes. I wonder who in the WH convinced him that his presence was not required. I’m sure he thought it would be a great time to talk about all his Electoral College votes.

I’ve read that George and Barbara Bush played golf after they buried their three-year-old daughter, who died of leukemia.

Amusing image with the article though. Bravo photo editor person.

Maybe slip one of those maps into her casket and whisper, ā€œLook at all that red.ā€

OT.

Why is the NSC chair meeting with the Russian Ambassador. Don’t we have a functioning Dept. of State?..oh, wait.

Is Bolton giving him a White House garage door opener or the combination to the locks?

Dump doesn’t have the guts to show up anyplace Obama will be…his thin skin couldn’t handle seeing the love and respect bound to be shown to the Obamas. And anyway, Saturday’s golfin’ day.

Not to mention that the Clintons will almost certainly be there.

Did Mel volunteer to go to Texas by herself? Is the kid going with her? Maybe they can hide out at the ranch.

Yep. And never informed Shrubya, who was said to be very close to Robin.

But in the senior Bushes defense, they did have a tee time and multiple G&Ts for happy hour on tap. Priorities, you know. Everyone grieves in their own way.

To paraphrase Babs, ā€œWe knew she was a goner anyway, so it worked out very well for all of us.ā€

ā€œSitting presidents . . . have not typically traveled to the funerals of former first ladies. Obama did not attend the 2016 funeral of Nancy Reagan or the 2011 funeral of Betty Ford, for example. Mourners at those services included then-first lady Michelle Obama, former President George W. Bush, and former first ladies Hillary Clinton and Rosalynn Carter.ā€

A useful article because the AP writer knew the conclusions his readers might jump to. Doug Weed’s comments are obviously an attempt to pour oil on very troubled waters, but as Dana Carvey/Bush 1 might have said, ā€œNah gonna happen.ā€

It’s for the best this way with just Melania. Barron would just wander around aimlessly and periodically ask ā€œWho’s dead?ā€ and Trump would look directly into the sun for several minutes.
