It's a morbid subject but if Poppy Bush were to die

[book_worm]

I wouldn't want to have that asshole Trump, as president, at my funeral. I kind of wish he would tell the family, "if worse comes to worse--keep that pig away."

[OneBlueDotBama]

1. Trump would be Pissed

How dare a Bush dare to trample my best ever, beautiful, softly sensual coronation... all that press coverage should be all about Me, Me, Me!

[bdamomma]

28. it's not like we are wishing for this

but knowing trump he loves to be in the center of attention due to his MENTAL ILLNESS he would flip.
A BUSH is screwing him back!

[Ilsa]

30. Yep, that's what he'd be saying. If only we could get microphones

in place to catch his tantrum!

[tblue37]

53. Trump & piss seem to go together like a horse and carriage (especially if the horse is pissing). nt

[Angry Dragon]

2. I was thinking it be fitting if he and Babs died at noon EST on Friday to piss Trump off

[Ilsa]

11. I think it should be earlier, like Thursday night. Then

The flags will all be lowered, and republicans will be crying and Donald will be pissed.

[Angry Dragon]

12. thinking about it .....Thursday would be better ........... you win

[Ilsa]

14. Aren't we awful, though?

Just trying to be practical in maximizing damage to Herr Trump's ego.

[TheCowsCameHome]

23. Tough crowd here this evening, just warming up

for the next four years.

[Ilsa]

27. Very true. Having to shed most sensitivity

to prep for however long it takes to shed Donald.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

61. +1 nt

[Angry Dragon]

26. He has HUGE ego ........... low self-esteem

[Alice11111]

15. Can't believe I'm laughing, but I thought the same

He is not fit to attend the Bushes funeral.
I think they would make it invitation only and keep him out.

[Alice11111]

20. Maybe they picked this time to go 4 this reason

Way to go.

[Ilsa]

25. This whole subject is so macabre.

But part of me wants to stay tuned to breaking news all night!

[bdamomma]

34. oh Jeb wouldn't go for this.

not the way trump talked to him. Jeb would be justified.

[Old Terp]

49. There would be at least one service for Bush 41 at the National Cathedral

I don't think we can keep him out, but the people can make him feel unwelcome.

[Ken Burch]

44. Then Trump would order the flags to be RAISED again, refuse to let any official government plane

carry the caskets, and bar any other plane carrying them the right to enter D.C. airspace.

At that point, I'm thinking holds might be put on several nominees.

[sarah FAILIN]

47. No other person would have to come

He might postpone himself. Nah.. not unless someone else pointed out that was the respectful thing to do.

[cloudbase]

37. It would be GHWB's

last patriotic act.

[Alice11111]

58. Maybe he and his wife, friend, forever, planned it

[HoneyBadger]

55. The country would shut down for that

[bullwinkle428]

60. I had the very same macabre thought. It would really be Poppy Bush's ultimate

final "FUCK YOU" to Trump, which, in and of itself, would be MAGNIFICENT!

[Ilsa]

3. I posted something similar, different tack:

Can you imagine Friday's coverage if GHWB passes on Thursday night? Trump would be furious about him stealing attention.

[MiniMe]

4. The thought that came to me was...

If he were to die, I hope it is on Friday. Not that I hope he dies, but just to take some of tRump's thunder, it would drive tRump crazy!

[Ilsa]

7. Thursday evening.

Then it'll be all over the news first thing Friday morning, flags lowered to half staff, Don the Narcissist having a conniption fit.

[malaise]

43. Most of us had the same thought

Many won't express it. It would also mean Dumbya and his wife won't be there.

[Ken Burch]

45. Or "Jeb!"

[malaise]

46. Yep

I could see Poppy pulling this off

[Alice11111]

59. Well, I hope neither of them dies, but if they must, Thursday

That will take care of the whole bush family. Now, the clintons need a bail out.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. That would be one of my final wishes.

No way would I want that asshole anywhere near my cadaver.

Meanwhile, I hope Poppy recovers.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. Comapare the way the Bushes treated the Clintons and Obamas and the way Drumpf did.

[Alice11111]

32. Obamas, Clintons,Bushes had class, empathy, and patriotism

Trumps have none of that. Raging braging Sexual predator, nude model, narcissist, and treasonous
NOT

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Drumpf makes him look so much better. Drumpf actually makes Nixon look better.

[itsrobert]

8. President Clinton probably would do the eulogy

And Trump would be forced to sit and pout.

[Skittles]

10. Clinton is the son Bush Sr never had

[Angry Dragon]

13. the smart son

[Skittles]

19. yes

and Bush Sr is obviously a very respected father figure for Clinton

an amazing relationship

[Ilsa]

17. And we would all be nice to Dimson the one day. nt

[bdamomma]

36. yes for one day

remember the way he bombed Iraq, he Bush Jr. killed plenty of people.

[Ilsa]

39. Yes, just the one day out of decency for

Offspring and grandkids, etc.

[Ilsa]

38. Trump would use the eulogy to brag about his sexploits.

"I remember meeting President Bush at a party in New York. I picked up a busty blonde that night with the blah blah blah. And then I closed that real estate deal."

[Lint Head]

16. If he were to linger with wall to coverage all day. Friday

[babylonsister]

31. That is what I hope for.

Now he's in intensive care with pneumonia; that's not good.

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. Jesus, the thought of that golden turd

delivering a eulogy is enough to make one slam the lid to their own coffin.

[BigDemVoter]

21. As everybody tells me every time I point out tRump's porcine features. . . .

They say I'm insulting pigs!

[Croney]

22. But how would it affect the march on Saturday?

Dumbass could cancel all permits, supposedly out of respect but actually out of spite and hate.

[Solly Mack]

35. +1

That is the important consideration.

I agree.

[TheBlackAdder]

24. Trump would be pissed if GHWB passed on the monring of Jan 20th--cutting into his attention.

[TheCowsCameHome]

29. Trump would send Eric instead

to harvest any gold fillings or loose jewelry.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

33. I was thinking about this when QEII took ill.

What would happen if she passed on Friday?

[MFM008]

40. I don't wish them dead

(Just maggot usually)
But if he dies or they both do
What a pall. What a shadow. An OMEN.
What a headline grabber....
What heartburn for puffenstuff.

[theglammistress]

48. Lyndon Johnson...

died 2 days after Nixon's second inaugural. Some of the festivities were canceled as Johnson's casket was in the capitol. That was a dark omen... we know how that all turned out.

[Raine]

41. He probably wouldn't go, most likely mad that Poppy skipped his inaugural

because of being in ICU. Dumpster would tweet "why should I go to his funeral when he wouldn't come to my inaugural! "

[milestogo]

42. If Poppy dies on inauguration day it will upstage the inauguration.

And Cheeto will be mightily pissed.

[Old Terp]

50. Hope that Barbara and George H W recover and live many more years. I think we all feel the same.

While Junior is not high on my list of people, he has so much more class than Trump. His daughters did turn out okay. Not sure that can be said for any of the Trump kids. I almost felt sorry for Tiffany, until they tried to get out of paying a Washington hair stylist. No class on the Trump side. Saddam Hussein Chic. Relatively, Bush equals class and Trump equals crass. But, what can you expect from a background like that.

[underpants]

51. I don't like this thread

Not alerting I just don't like this discussion

[LisaM]

52. Like the last "Seinfeld" was going to be epic

but then Sinatra died and that took over. It was like Frank punked Jerry. That said, I would prefer no deaths at this time.

[mainstreetonce]

54. Does anyone think it is possible

That they are keeping him on life support till it's over?

[HoneyBadger]

56. Carrie Fisher did

[Ilsa]

62. Certainly possible. Either that, or

Just until all of the family arrives to say their goodbyes. Maybe until his wife is stronger.

[yeoman6987]

57. My bet is plans for funeral done awhile ago

And I bet president bush and president Clinton will speak and nobody else. Trumps not getting a speach I bet.
