FLOTSAM is back at it again. This time, it was the Associated Press when they led a story on Bush 41's funeral with this paragraph (bold italics added):
"Wednesday's funeral service for former President George H.W. Bush served as a rare reunion of the remaining members of the presidents club, but the front-row banter among Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter and their spouses came to an uneasy end when President Donald Trump and wife Melania arrived."
Banter? Banter is being witty or teasing, acting playfully and teasingly, to delude or trick with jest, to ridicule, to coax into action by argument or haggling...Okay, you know what? The AP used the right word but why would they stop it when Trump got there since they were all "bantering" about him anyway?
Hang on. Duh! You're right. They didn't want Trump to hear because they knew "The Hammer" could put the beatdown on them. But that doesn't matter because Trump seemed genuinely moved by the proceedings.
But this is not about the funeral. This is about the Associated Press — THE AP, for God's sake — and them turning into a tabloid gossip rag. Next thing you know, we'll be seeing headlines reading "TRUMP REFUSES CHILD SUPPORT FOR MARTIAN BABY MAMA!" and "TRUMP PAYS OFF BABY MAMA OF MARTIAN LOVE CHILD!"
I'm not kidding. You mark my words. It will happen. But the AP? The AP is doing this? There was a time when I looked for stories by the AP because I knew these were closest to the truth of what was happening. Reporting, yes! Opining, not allowed!
Oh, the agony of one's respect being flushed down the toilet.
Still, I do have to chuckle just a bit. The funeral was all about George H. W. Bush, number 41 as he was often called, and yet every frickin' media outlet out there led their stories with Trump. Trump gets frozen by Michelle! Trump ignores Hillary. Trump is... Trump is not... Trump could... Trump could not...
And all Trump had to do was sit there and say nothing. It don't get no better than that.
This is a YUGE statement I'm getting ready to make here so pay attention.
#41 and #43 were both hated by the media. As was Reagan. And now Trump. So, after listening to the entire service on December 5, 2018, I have concluded it was a coded message to Trump that said, "Ignore or use the media and the politicians who hate the country. But in no instance back down. Stay the course. You're doing good."
I'm sure some folks wearing pussy hats and "I'm With Her" t-shirts will disagree. I don't care.
