“I can’t believe we got Dick Cheney in the national divorce.“

-- anonymous funeral attendee in Susan B. Glasser's New Yorker article, ”Dick Cheney's Long, Strange Goodbye: On seeing Rachel Maddow at the former Vice-President's funeral, while Donald Trump threatened Democrats on social media with death by hanging.“ The subhed kind of says it all, doesn't it? Here's more: ”On hand to say goodbye to the former Vice-President, who shaped the post-9/11 world with a belief in the unchecked exercise of American power, making him perhaps the most divisive figure in public life until Trump himself, were Nancy Pelosi and Dan Quayle, Mitch McConnell and Adam Schiff, James Carville and Karl Rove. Joe Biden took the Amtrak down from Delaware, even though it was his eighty-third birthday. Kamala Harris sat in the front row next to Mike Pence.“ No reps for the petulant brat in chief, who, yes, threatened the lives of Democratic legislators a day after welcoming a Saudi prince who orchestrated the killing of an American reporter, a day after telling a reporter ”Quiet, Piggy" on Air Force One, no reps for this class act apparently attended.
