Thread: On McCain’s Funeral (the Mini-Series)

1. I admit I didn’t (couldn’t!) watch a minute of it! Mostly because of the guest list and the speakers and the knowledge that the only reason the Democrats/Uniparty types were there was to politicize it to the max.
2. And that’s EXACTLY what they all did, including his daughter. My dad told me long ago that funerals are for the living, not the dead, but I believe that he got McCain’s wrong in that regard. It was choreographed by the man himself as his last F-U to his “detractors.”
3. (Of which I am definitely one!) There have been plenty of stories & pictures have been floating around the Internet and Tw@tter that make my stomach turn. A love-fest of Establishment characters with plenty of anti-Trump spicing thrown in for good measure (it’s real purpose!).

Lord Meghnad Desai, the British Labour Peer in the House of Lords, wrote in his 2017 book - “Politicshock” that 2016 will go down as the year that marked the collapse of the “liberal world order”.
He added -

“Brexit and Trump mark the collapse of the liberal order worldwide, a phenomenon which saw its beginning with Modi's rise in 2014”
But what was Meghnad talking about? What is this “liberal world order”? It is one of those nice sounding words of modernity that everyone wants to appropriate, but few offer a precise definition.

Little thread on Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. The Avengers of #TrumpRussia
I noticed that the Presidential oath of office differs from most of the others, even the Vice-Presidential one, and not just re: title
Presidents of the United States swear to "preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution. Like a military oath, that has no expiration date
