    Apparently he didn’t even call the victim’s wife after the incidence. On the other hand, Biden called her but she refused to take the call because her husband - the one who was killed - was a “devout republican and won’t have wanted his wife talking to Biden”.

    It’s beyond a cult at this point

      With all respect to the lady, I highly doubt her husband was particularly keen on taking a bullet.

      “But it was a bullet meant for our god-king!”

      Yeah, and it missed. Hubby didn’t even have time to yell “Get down, Mr. President!”.

      I know it’s callous. However, we MUST be callous and unmoving right now. WE do not have the same room for pity and remorse as our politicians, whose jobs are to play that part. Unfortunately for the Right, we have a job to do.

      I’ll wash my hands 4.5 years from now when we all have some breathing room.

        It gets worse the more you think about it.

        It’s a golf course; there are literally people whose only job is making the place look nice.

        Second, she was Ivanka, Eric, and Don Jr’s mom. None of those three could do anything?

          He gets a tax break for having her buried on his property. Not even joking.

            I thought that went without saying.

            Really, the tax thing was covered a lot at the time of the burial. I’m just surprised that no one around him pushed him to do more.

            I mean, they eventually pushed him to have his picture taken at Arlington after he blew off the WW1 Centennial.

    He didn’t go to Ashli Babbit’s funeral.

    I just hope he cleared the decision with the family. And by “he”, I mean the campaign. Otherwise, I can’t imagine having a funeral for a loved one get turned into a clown show.
