MAGA Represented

Danish news is reporting that many of the people wearing MAGA hats in Don Jr & Charlie Kirk’s Greenland videos were homeless rounded up from the area, including one man they found under a bridge, to come into the restaurant for a photo op & a free meal. https://t.co/BSXUndFSIb

I’m skipping the undignified behavior of Trump at the Carter funeral service in D.C. (he looked like a child forced to attend against his wishes) because the dignity of the service shouldn’t be about Trump’s churlishness.

This is what the Old Guard fails to understand. If your plan is to go into the office 16 hours after these things, have your staff type up a press release for you to approve which goes out a few hours later, then you need to give up your seat to someone who understands it’s 2025. pic.twitter.com/BDbAQxBoJU

Elmo did not influence the election and his tweets don’t reach 1/3 of all Americans (or even 100 million people in the world). We need to stop making world-threatening monsters out of tiny people.

I’m not too persuaded that internet media “stars” are all that politically influential, either. The evidence is that most people had decided their votes early, and further, that this was an anti-incumbent election (as the last two were), and hardly a referendum on the popularity of Trump. Stop treating Trump’s every utterance as if it were the decided direction of the United States government (Congress has a large say in that), and begin to look at him as he presented himself at the Carter funeral service: a petulant, superannuated child whose sole interest is drawing attention to himself (something he couldn’t do at that funeral).

And since I brought the funeral up:

I love these stories.

(I’m a Southern boy; I had a PaPa, too (the other spelling is phonetically correct, but no Southerner spells it that way).)

So funny and so relatable!

"Basically, all of those years ago, he was the first millennial."

The grandson of former President Jimmy Carter, Jason Carter, says that his grandfather was the same person in his public life and in private.

Jimmy Carter was certainly the personification of honesty and integrity. pic.twitter.com/6sLYtlwUhI

President Biden gave a beautiful eulogy for his friend at former President Jimmy Carter's state funeral at the Washington Cathedral.

Here is his full speech in case you missed it.

We’re going to miss him, too. (I don’t want to think about Trump having the obligation to do this at Biden’s funeral, so may Biden be with us for many years yet. And all the people say: “Amen!”)
