Bush funeral: Reconciliation and civility Update: Except for Hillary
American Thinker ^ | 5 Dec, 2018 | Monica Showalter

Posted on 12/05/2018 10:43:25 AM PST by MtnClimber

Update from Thomas Lifson: In contrast to the politeness of everyone else, Hillary Clinton refused to acknowledge the arrival and greeting of President and Mrs. Trump as they joined the other presidents sitting in the front row of the George H.W. Bush funeral at the National Cathedral. President Trump leaned over his wife to shake hands with President and Mrs. Obama, who graciously reciprocated. Bill Clinton, sitting on the other side of Michelle Obama, did not reach out to shake hands, but at least looked in the direction of President Trump. But not Hillary Clinton. The woman defeated by Donald Trump stared straight ahead, refusing to acknowledge the arrival of the president of the Unmited States only a few feet away. Neither a glance nor a nod broke the frozen expression of anger on her visage.

I recall the guy who fired her from the Watergate Committee staff back in the 70’s noted that she was extraordinarily dishonest, even by lawyer standards.

“Trump needs to learn to quit taking the bait.”

Now sure what you’re referring to but I think Trump “attacks” people to see how they respond, which reveals something about those people to him and to us.

Boy did we learn something about Jeb Bush when he was under fire by Trump. Jeb made Mr. Rogers look like the Incredible Hulk.

“drag herself over to the Javits Center to thank the thousands of volunteers”

She had to have been drunk beyond imagination, wrecked looking after crying for hours, and, well, possibly in “side of beef” mode since she clearly has some kind of medical issue.

Give the gal a break given all she’s done to, sorry, for herself, sorry, our country. /s

Facial rigidity from Parkinson’s. And she was probably stoned on meds.

“W.’s eulogy brought a few to my eyes.”

No doubt a nice eulogy and I like him and liked his presidency, but what happened to him after he left office?

Did he or perhaps Jeb and he decide the way to win was be models of gentleness? Doesn’t work for me. Jeb, as I mentioned elsewhere, got steamrollered.

"Trump needs to learn to quit taking the bait. He doesn’t have to and it doesn’t help him when he does. Probably my biggest problem with him."

***Protective coloration/Sleight of hand.

He has Sun Tzu committed to memory. Probably using this as a screen to cover the fact that he is shrewdly observing and considering his opponents' immaturity. His 11-year old son is already a Chessmaster, and POTUS retired from Chess at age 40.

Sorry, but that is not true. If you look at the video, Hillary bobble-heads an acknowledgement in the general direction of Melania, as the Trumps are about to be seated.

Bubba only turned his head slightly toward PDJT, until after handshakes had ended, then when it was safe, he looked slightly further to his right

The Obamas and the Clintons were yucking it up while they were seated and waiting for the service to begin.

HRC stole the freaking White House Silverware... and had to give it back!

Now that right there is liberal white trash.

I think Bubba was going to reach out to DJT, but Hillary told him in no uncertain terms that he better not reach out to Donald or Melania or it was going to be more than ashtrays he would be dodging.

I love it that she is eaten alive by hate. Hope it burns her up constantly, obsessing on it, playing it over and over...

Boy, did we dodge a bullet.

In fairness, sh!tlery did clearly acknowledge the First Lady with a nod of the head, but clealy not the President.

You sure that glance to Melania wasn't Malocchio?

What happened to W after his Presidency? I have a perspective on this but I think he was consistent before and after.

In my view we have a two party system but some people on the other side are (purposefully?) wearing the wrong jersey.

We have the Conservatives, all of whom wear the GOP jersey; and

We have the democrat party that has the following wings:

-The radical wing. A wing that is radical today but whose members become mainstream tomorrow as a newer more radical wing is ever emerging thanks to our institutions of Higher Indoctrination.

-The moderate wing. See above, they were formally the radical wing.

-The conservative wing. Democrats wearing Republican jerseys who think that what they democrats believe isn’t so bad but that they would make the change to a statist, socialist state gradual and that they can manage it better. They also just want to fit in with the elites. The thing about this wing is that as long as they are wearing the wrong jersey, the aforementioned wings of the democrat party will attack them the same as they would a Conservative. Some of their members are:

The Bushes, Rove, Kasich, Romney, Ryan, Kristol, Flake, Collins, Corker, Stierwalt, Murkowski, Perino, the McCain’s, etc.
