MODERATORS
Just one in my lifetime I wanna see the rapists, the convicted felons, the wannabe gangsters elected to office, the people linked to Jeffrey Epstein, the presidents who put personal interest before country, the tactless lying connen grifters and the orange buffoons leave this plane before the good men with some semblance of balance, tolerance, moderation and compassion.
Just once in my lifetime.
Funerals are for the family. Not the dead person. You won’t care because you’re dead, I’m sure his close friends and relatives cared quite a bit.
How did he even get an invite?
Probably paid for it, like his Nobel nomination.
Thank god it wasn’t tan.
The tan suit had mustard stains on it, otherwise...
Honestly, now that we're literally sending people to concentration camps, I have zero fucks to give about this superficial bullshit. No one gives a shit about what Hitler wore at the '36 Olympics, and no one's gonna care what this asshole wore to a funeral.
It's purely to be on the attack. Republicans showed for the last fifteen years if you're performatively aggressive against the opposition eventually you get what you want.
You don't have to hate Trump or his suit color. Just love democracy and socialism and the working class. If this gets some apolitical conservative people to not vote for the Republicans then awesome.
Probably Hugo Boss if I had to guess.
Well he's finally being held to the same standards as Obama
Wdym? Obama pulled it off. Trump just looks tired. And angry. But more tired.
This was not an accident. First, it gets him to stand out from the crowd, draw all the attention to himself, and make it all about him which is what he lives and breathes for. Second, it gets the media to focus on something other than him eliminating due process, having judges arrested, using the DOJ to attack perceived enemies, deporting US citizens, and completely ignoring court rulings while those who have the power to stop it sit back and either do nothing or actively support it.

I didn't see the clown makeup until you mentioned it; but that's what it is, isn't it? The circus continues.

He's like school in the summer time. No class.
For those not appearing to get it, Trump allowed his sycophants to berate Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit in his White House meeting. Folks are treating Trump's attire faux pas accordingly.
More than that, Trump isn't in the middle of actively fighting a fucking war, and a funeral has one single, solitary wardrobe expectation: wear black.*
Even if not for that utter dumpster fire of a press conference, I also remember the fuss made about Obama's tan suit that he just happened to wear during a televised event (which was not a funeral). On every level, this clown deserves mockery.

not universal to all kinds of funeral ceremonies, I know. this, however, was one of those funerals.

You're not wrong. I put special instructions (Canadian Tuxedo) in my will.
Bringing up the suite on live TV was so cringe. Vance is such a little weasel.
That being said. He should probably wear a suit. It just looks a little silly in that environment not to. I get the "war general" look when he's in Ukraine. I just think if you're gonna go do diplomacy you should also look the part.
Now, do I want him to wear a suit now? Fuck no. Now I want him showing up in jeans and a sleeveless tee out of spite.
Arrest him
Oh come on, tan suit again? You're better than this, people
No, most of Trump's supporters are idiots so you have to point out every miniscule little fuck up otherwise they will think that Trump is amazing.
Yes, it's inconsequential, but if you don't make a fuss about it Republicans will think he is infallible.
Not really equivalent situations. Obama wearing a tan suit wasn't in a context that demanded a specific wardrobe.
This. Obama can wear what color he wants at the White House and there should not be an issue, but he would be expected to follow dress code at a FUNERAL because it's common decency.
We're living in a fascist dictatorship. If making fun of Trump for his blue suit makes Republicans lose in the midterms that's all that matters. Anyone who seriously believes suit color matters at a funeral is living in a state of self-inflicted misery.
It doesn't matter, the hypocrisy matters.
No one cares about hypocrisy enough to change their vote. Besides Obama's tan suit didn't matter then, Fox News needed their daily sound bite, and Trump's blue suit doesn't matter now, we need a sound bite today. But if anyone is being hypocritical it's Fox for not being outraged over Trump. And of course the Republicans and MAGA do not care. It was always about having another controversy to use as a wedge against Obama to gain political power.
Trump knows criticism of any kind is bad for him. That's why he references the Tds, Trump derangement syndrome, in his rallies. When he runs out of things to blame Obama and Biden for he can just blame the people who don't vote for him. He knows it keeps his base happy, makes him look good to Republican voters, and that he was never getting Democrats or leftists to vote for him. The Democrats really need to learn that last one, but about Republicans.
Yeah, it's the suit that's embarrassing, not the "239 lbs" of rancid garbage sloshing around inside.
No fucking way he's less than 250lbs
That's why they put it in quotes. During his first term his personal doctor listed Trump's weight at 239, which everyone with at least one functioning eyeball knows is complete horseshit. But naturally he lies about that like he lies about everything else

When I die I won't give a single fuck what people who go to my funeral wear.
I'm not defending the guy. I'm just accusing the church of being the other side. Assholes on both sides. I hope my exercised freedom of speech doesn't ruffle feathers. I don't have a suit myself.
I remember when John Paul died and we got Ratzinger Z who was promptly removed for sexual stuff. So I might live to see 4 popes! What a time to be alive! 4 popes. Most people I know are also 3 popes old and pushing for 4.
Funerals are not for the dead, they're for the living experiencing grief in the wake of a loss.
We're back to suit color news. America is healing.
