Well, the driving of the stake at the funeral is part of draining the swamp.

Tell the truth: You are likely watching his funeral live, just as most other political junkies.

Besides, it’s worth it just to watch Hillary’s repeatedly grimace between stone cold dead stares.

From a historical perspective, 41 could have been Dukakis and 43 could have been Bore.

To be honest, I am not watching this funeral at all. Been looking at plans to build an outfeed/assembly table for my shop.

So many more important obligations.

It's a fine piece of #Schadenfudge, though.

This poor man's demise -- wheelchair-bound for half a decade? Dole even longer?? count. me. out. -- utterly and completely derailed the MSM #Narrative about Cohen, about Mueller wrapping it up, about how it's beginning to dawn on the Dums they ain't getting nothing but coal in their stocking from Old Bobbins; and how about that Bruuuce calling #2020 for Trump! Way to go, you philandering ****-gargling stopped-clock shit-for-brains!
