Wouldn’t it be interesting if W and JEB uninvited Individual 1 to the memorial service, like McCain’s family did?

I'm a bit uncomfortable with the sudden rush to canonize politicians upon their death. There is no one who didn't run afoul of someone or other in their life as a public servant. That said, I do send condolences and wish peace to the Bush family. I didn't always agree with his politics, but he was a man I respected a great deal. | |||

Indeed. I am not interested in saying bad things about his at this point, but also I'm not interested in pretending he was something he wasn't. Yes, we could wax rhapsodical if we start comparing him to the current resident of the WH, but that is just about the lowest bar imaginable.

"Glenn Greenwald Verified account @ggreenwald 2h2 hours ago More Glenn Greenwald Retweeted Christian Christensen The solemn ritual of converting political leaders into noble deities upon death - with media hagiography, collective reverence, and coerced suppression of criticism & evil acts - is creepy, nationalistic and toxic. The US does it worse than than Romans did https://www.theguardian.com/…/...hatcher-death-etiqu… … Worse than the Romans and much like what was done with Chairman Mao for a while. Thatcher

Greenwald would have trouble telling the time without being wrong. Comparing a day or two of reflection to the Chinese treatment of Mao? | |||

"He left the presidency having paved the way for his own son’s even more anti-LGBTQ administration, firmly ensconcing religious conservative power within the party." -- @MSignorile
