Flags, medals, AF2, vigils… You just know a state funeral is next. I hope most of America is appalled by this.

I don’t want his carcass here. Actually I didn’t even know he lived here until yesterday. And I had to look online to see what he looked like because prior to yesterday I had only heard his name a few times. Have you seen pictures of him smiling?
