Hypocritical Wind Bag Franklin Graham: Democrats are trying to 'erase' everything Trump has done

[634-5789]

In a post to his Facebook page this Thursday, evangelist Franklin Graham shared a link from right-wing commentator Todd Starnes, lamenting a bill put forward by Democrats that seeks to “ban Trump from being buried in Arlington National Cemetery.”

According Graham, Democrats are “compelled by hate” on their opposition to Donald Trump. “For four years they have been more concerned with trying to hurt former President Donald J. Trump than anything else—and they’re still at it,” he wrote.

“It’s obvious that there’s only one person they’re talking about here,” Graham continued. “They would like to literally and totally erase all the good that President Trump’s policies did for this country. It’s a shame.”

The bill, which doesn’t mention Trump by name, seeks to block any “twice impeached” president from basically any recognition on federal land, including barring federal funds from going toward building a dedicated “highway, park, subway, federal building, military installation, street, or other federal property” as well as preventing that president’s burial at Arlington.

1. Dotard actually said exactly that

"We are going to erase the Obama Presidency."

He failed. But Dotard's can be erased, and ought to be.

2. let the market decide

why do these privateers who hate government want to honor a failed businessman on government property?

trump is capable of, and willing, to honor himself on his own heavily mortgaged property.

i wonder what dirt trump has on graham........

[Hotler]

13. I bet Graham is a sex freak of some kind and the former P has the pics (Epstein).

Same with Lindsey I suspect.

[rampartc]

19. that is my guess as well

3. Burying Bonespurs the fascist traitor in Arlington would be an insult

to those who deserved to be buried there, and all members of the military past and present as well.

Erasing everything the fascist fool has done is a critical first step in rebuilding democracy and repairing the monumental amount of damage he has done to the US since 2017.

Graham is enraged because he and his ilk won't be able to legally discriminate against LGBT any more, because hating LGBT is the cornerstone of his fascist evangelical faux Christianity.

17. Trump at Arlington?

Does he really want to be buried among all those "loosers"? **you have no idea how hard that was to type**

Surely there is some landfill close to Mar a Crapo where a gold encrusted washing machine box could be dumped?

I do so hope we replace everything that nasty, self interested moron did.

25. Former Guy Jr. has compared his family's "sacrifices" to those made

by the men and women who rest in honor at Arlington.

https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-us-canada-50338236

.. "In his new book Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us, Mr Trump Jr describes visiting the US war cemetery where 400,000 ex-soldiers lie outside of Washington DC on the eve of his father's inauguration.
....
As we drove past the rows of white grave markers, in the gravity of the moment, I had a deep sense of the importance of the presidency and a love of our country, " wrote Mr Trump Jr, 41.

In that moment, I also thought of all the attacks we'd already suffered as a family, and about all the sacrifices we'd have to make to help my father succeed - voluntarily giving up a huge chunk of our business and all international deals to avoid the appearance that we were 'profiting off of the office.'"

He later adds: "Frankly, it was a big sacrifice, costing us millions and millions of dollars annually. Of course, we didn't get any credit whatsoever from the mainstream media, which now does not surprise me at all."...

27. Well gee,

Such a hard time was had by all but not as much as the Trumps.

How do these people survive? Take that comment either way, as sarcasm or as really, how is it that someone(s) has not taken them all the way down?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

4. Yep. We're just disinfecting the United States after four years of Fat Donnie smearing shit on it.

And once we're done with that, we're going after the cockroaches and flies that followed his fat ass around. We're talking about you, Lindsey.

[mikeysnot]

5. It only took a month for President Biden to do..

So really what accomplishments is he talking about.

[Srkdqltr]

6. That was the point of electing Biden.

[Chainfire]

7. I consider the reversal of policies designed to destroy our nation as very positive.

Perhaps the former president can get a tomb of honor in Moscow. I doubt that Trump would really want to spend eternity buried next to losers and suckers anyway

[Liberal In Texas]

8. I hear the righties saying he did "good things."

But I never hear them say what. (Of course they think the tax cuts for the rich and judges are examples, but that was really congress.) They can never give examples of the good he did. And I don't think they can claim playing golf every weekend as an example.

Maybe he can be buried at sea. Somewhere in the area where they dumped bin Laden's body.

[monmouth4]

9. Graham says this like it's a bad thing. Geez. n/t

[sop]

10. Latest rightwing revisionism: "all the good that president Trump's policies did for this country."

Unless one is a credulous, drooling QAnon imbecile, by any measurable objective standard Trump's presidency was an abject failure. And they should ask the families of the 500,000 Covid dead if Trump deserves to be interred in Arlington.

[Firestorm49]

11. " all the good that President Trump's policies did for this country.".....huh?

I can think of a few choice places where I’d like to see him “rest”, but decorum dictates otherwise.

[North Shore Chicago]

12. Let's

have more erasers!

Be gone! this folly.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

14. You betcha!

[Buns_of_Fire]

15. Yep, you got it, Frankie. Ain't too damn fond of *you*, either. nt

[marmar]

16. As they should.

[Baitball Blogger]

18. It's not like Trump made the decision difficult.

His policies are literally causing hardships and death.

[keithbvadu2]

20. Over a half million killed by Trump Virus.

Over a half million killed by Trump Virus.

Can't erase that accomplishment.

22. Sadly, we can't erase everything. You can't bring back dead people.

[bluestarone]

23. I wish Joe could go ALL the way back to QRUMPS date of birth, and

ERASE THAT TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DFW]

24. Or, to put it another way,

Democrats are trying to compensate for everything positive that he DIDN'T do.

And that is just about everything.

[Initech]

26. Good! Fuck Trump!

He bought nothing to the table and made things worse. He deserves to be erased!

[lettucebe]

28. If they'd list things tRump did -- not including benefits to rich -- I'd like to see it

There is no such list. He did nothing but try to destroy everything Obama had accomplished -- he did absolutely nothing.

I asked my son and DIL to name three things tRump had done that were good for this country and they got mad at me and said that's what liberals always do. WTF?
