I wish that McCain hadn’t stated it publicly, it would have been a bigger FU to Trump to have him make the journey and then thrown out of the funeral.

We know PuPPet’s not invited to the funeral, but Bush and President Obama are. Neither is PuPPet invited to The Wedding, or to the Kennedy Center Award Ceremonies (excellence in the performing arts), and he wisely declines the Correspondents’ dinner. There is also the annual ceremony of the Presidential Medal of Freedom awards President hosted in 2016), in fact maybe they should cancel it because the Putz has no respect for the presidency.
So. Where is it he is invited except by a golf course manager somewhere.

Don’t hold your breath McCain. Rep. Wilson is still waiting for the apology Gen. Kelly has owed her for half a year.

When McCain dies, the media will be covering it 24/7. Donny will be so angry at being ignored that he’ll probably release the pee tape himself just to get all of the media attention back.

Trump knows many in our country consider McCain a real man even if they don’t like his politics .
It would serve our Sissy in Chief greatly if McCain dies.
One less man who is not afraid of a coward.
I hope Kelly Sadler doesn’t develop an aggressive form of brain cancer and then get mocked nationally by someone who refuses to apologize to her because her boss told her to and she’s unemployable outside the snakepit she’s working in so she has to keep working for her abusive boss just to keep the dollars rolling in.

The rest of the gang who laughed uproariously got away.

Well, I’m trying to remember the last time Whiny himself apologized for ANYTHING, and since Sadler works for him that would mean she tries to emulate him. So I’d be comfortable in guessing the apology will come somewhere around ‘never.’

It’s a good thing her health insurance covers for preexisting conditions and lifetime caps. You wouldn’t want anyone to mock her if she had a chronic ailment.

Trump never apologizes for anything, since he believes it makes him look weak. He is the Walter Mitty version of alpha male.

One should never apologize if they don’t mean it. However, all Republicans usually make that insincere remark about being sorry that they might have offended someone.
This time one of them have offended every decent person on the planet. It’s just too much to expect anything from the thoroughly corrupted Conservative Movement at this point. Republicans operatives, pundits and gadflies are so much more superior to the rest of us mere mortals. You just have to accept their insults and threats and never oppose or criticize them.

I don’t think she is going to apologize. This has become an issue the President wants to push.

This story is a form of fake news–something masquerading as news that is neither news nor newsworthy. Face it. By now we all know it. They’re jerks. Just like the ahole bullies you knew in junior high school. They are what they are. They’ve surrounded themselves with people just like them. (Also just like the ahole bully clique you knew in junior high.) So Sadler hasn’t apolgized? Par for the course. It’s not newsworthy or worth anyone’s time and the bandwidth to go over. Are we going to start a daily “X days with no apology” watch? If she had publicly apologized, back when it mattered, and in a way that wasn’t transparently non-apologetic (“sorry if this improper and unfair leak hurt your feelings”), now THAT would have been real news for this crowd.
Speaking of “fake news”–there’s this story making the rounds that Mr. Trump’s Mother’s Day video didn’t mention his present wife, mother of kid # 5 (that we know of). So what? Is it news the guy is a jerk? Besides, she’s not his mother. She’s barely his wife. Sure she’s the mother of one of his kids. (We think it’s his, anyway. Some people are saying.) But he also didn’t mention ex-wife #2 (mother of #4?) or ex-wife #1 (mother of #s 1-3?), right? He also didn’t mention all the other ones along the way that may have birthed other DJT mini-mes, right?
Let’s focus on the real issues.
Like DeptOfEd turning away from diploma mill fraud.
Like the president’s lawyer marketing himself as a path of access to/influence on the POTUS. And, worse, a line of public companies shamelessly getting in line to ante up the money to buy some of that access/influence.
Like POTUS worrying about jobs in China, at a known export violator, intellectual property thief, and likely espionage enabler, all while you’ve stopped tens of billions of dollars of business for Boeing and Airbus and their worldwide supplier chains, while at the same time saying you’ll go after companies in allied nations for selling to Iran–despite ZTE being a known sanctions violator that has already violated sanctions by selling to the North Koreans and Iran.
And so much else.

The headline could be a question, like, Why Hasn’t WH Staffer Apologized For Being A Fucking Prick To A Dying Person?
Not every Republican is an asshole, but every asshole in this country is a Republican.

Apologize, why, according to WH staffers it was a joke told during an internal meeting. The problem is not the joke, according to them, but the fact that someone squealed.
People that apologize on their own typically actually regret what they said. Hopefully because they actually feel remorse for make the victim feel bad and realize it was wrong. If they have to be forced they typically do it only because the reaction to it is bad for them.If they don’t apologize at all it’s because they didn’t care about the victim, believe what they said is true, and believe their supporters feel the same way and won’t abandon them.
I’m pretty sure Donald and his staff are of the latter mind set.
