who can feel empathy for someone else's loss, even though you did not agree with the deceased's politics.

Something a hateful, petty, vile excuse for a human being like DJT will never have.

Isn't it funny how people who tell the truth about the war criminal Cheney will be considered cruel and unkind, while those who give him the cover of respectability will be considered respectful and decent?

It's not the grandchildren's fault their grandfather is a war criminal who bragged about torturing people, saying he'd do it again - but it will be their fault should they choose to deny the ugly truth about their grandfather.

I don't care if he was a good grandpa or chess player or hunter.

He planned and committed war crimes for decades. I appreciate your empathy, and your response to people who are saddened by a personal loss, but let's not forget who the man was.
