At the end of his life Colin Powell became race centered. He had a distinguished career as a soldier and diplomat, but racial matters seemed most important toward the end. Give him credit, many years ago he declared himself to be a "Rockefeller Republican" so for him the term RINO didn't really apply. We all have a built in radar about fellow humans and my screen showed "dislike" when he first emerged as a public figure. His speech to the United Nations about Saddam Hussein's "gas and bugs" with nuclear facilities was dishonest. Little me in the middle of nowhere SoCal listened to him talk and later saw the video. To get us into war, what he said were lies or statements to deceive. He was a stooge for Bush II. My radar was confirmed.

I'm sorry, but President Trump should have attended. I know he would have been surrounded by insufferable d**ks, but this is what statesmen have to do.

It was private. Do you really think they invited President Trump?

I look at the picture of the line up of assorted douchenozzles and all I can think of is the clique of "kewl kidz" in high school.
Turns out the "kewl kidz" were the biggest bunch of loosers in the class. Bums, drunks, drugs and any variety of degeneracy was all they were capable of.
They peak in high school and it's all down hill from there.
By the way, RINO Powell died from cancer so keep yer pants on.

Park died from underlying health conditions. He died with Covid. If he didn’t have Covid he would have died anyway. He was a Rino turn coat. I lost all respect years so. Why would Trump show up? He wouldn’t be caught anywhere near the pack of traitors and frauds that are showing up. Just bury him already and move on and wait for FJB to kick the bucket.

Don't blame Trump at all. Who wants to go to a funeral for someone who hated your guts to hang around people who all hate your guts?

Powell never served under President Trump. He also was not a supporter of President Trump.
A lot of people didn't go to his funeral. Why does the evil lie-beral MSM (especially this British rag sheet that is about 20 steps below the National Enquirer for journalistic integrity) have to make this seem like President Trump was somehow "shunning" Powel?!?!?!?

I never had much respect for Powell, but lost what I had when he sat back and let Scooter Libbey get roasted for "outing" Valerie Plame when it was Powell's aide Richard Armitage who actually did it. When he supported the Kenyan commie just because he had black skin, it just convinced me I was right.

I had great respect for Powell until he decided race was more important than his country.

Yes he did two tours in Vietnam as a junior officer as an advisor to the ARVN. One must not take that away from him. Except for a short tour as a Brigade Commander most of his service was as a staff officer.
Where I find fault with Colin Powell is that when he was Secretary of State and the special council was appointed to determine fault for the so called outing of a desk jockey at the CIA he did the unthinkable. He knew all along that one of his underlings, namely Richard Armitage, was the individual that did the deed. Yet he remained mute all the while the special council charade went on and even when one of President Bush's staffers was CONVICTED for a process crime.
I will never forgive him for that. It proved that he was no more than another swamp creature who only cared about his own persona.

Urinary tract infection again??? Previously 2 weeks in hospital for the same thing??? You get some meds and in a few days Billy boy should have been alright. I suspect he picked something else up on Epstein's island.
His stand in, Hillarious, looked the part....Sasquatch was dressed as if she was the bereaved widow...the first vegetable couple, as usual, without class. They did not show him too much, I guess he slept again.
Powell's family was absolutely great, and his son Michael top notch.

His pal Armitage, the guy who actually outed Valerie Plame and had Powell cover for him, spoke at the funeral. The whole group at the funeral was a cabal of snakes.

Slick Willie is still in hiding because that Impeachment movie is still playing. It’s pretty accurate in showing all of Bill’s warts. What a sleaze.

He started out with definite positive accomplishments. Can't say that he was ever a "hero". Maybe, maybe not, early on. Probably not. But he ended up a zero. RIP.
Trump was smart staying away, if he was even invited. A Deep State circle-jerk.

I'm with #13. Powell was a turncoat. It is best that Trump stayed away. No respect from me for Powell.
