Why did Carter's family allow Trump to desecrate Jimmy's funeral? And how can Obama sit next to him and laugh? [View all]

I don't get it. It's probably just me, but I think it's deplorable that the criminal, traitorous dictator was allowed to attend the funeral. And I can't imagine being Barack Obama and sitting next to the neo-Nazi madman and laughing it up. What the hell is going on?

It sickens me to see any decent human being having anything to do with the orange pile of scum who's about to be given the keys to the country again. Playing nice with dictators and oligarachs has never worked, and this one is among the worst. That picture of Neville Chamberlain shaking hands with Hitler has aged well . . .

Decent people everywhere should shun the sexual deviant and felon at every turn. It will be another national disgrace, IMHO, if any Democrat shows up on Jan. 20 at the same spot where, about four years ago, he tried to overthrow the US government. How any Democrat, how any decent person could watch that farce and pretend it's all OK is way, way, way beyond me. I couldn't do it. I wouldn't do it. And shame on any Democrat who does.
