Re: a fart passed in the wind...
Yea...that's the one. I try to give him respect for serving the country. I don't know about all the "songbird" stuff or the fire on the ship being his fault. So I just give him his due for serving and let others flesh out his record on that. He, at least, served and that's more than I did.
After that, though...I don't give him much respect because of his "service" as a politician. Keating 5, I hold in disdain anyone who stays in office as long as he has, he's always been a back stabbing RINO...as you mention, openly condemning the actions of the Commander-in-Chief...etc etc and the list goes on.
Then we learn today that he said Trump is not welcome at the funeral...boo hoo. I hope Trump goes out for a round of golf during the proceedings.
Then he had to write us a farewell letter to let us know how we should comport ourselves after his departure.
The list is long.
I really don't wish anyone dead but if they insist on holding power till then, then be gone. Good riddance.
