Do funerals really cost 60k? Or what made this one so expensive? I'm not trying to defend Trump here because he's a racist POS but that number is terrifying to me.

The murder made national headlines and there was a public memorial service. Most of us don’t have either of those
It was something like $9k to have my grandfather cremated and a small service for him. The funeral industry is even worse than the wedding industry at taking advantage of your time of emotional turmoil, and because even legally you're kinda limited at what you can do with the body and you're on a time crunch, shopping around isn't exactly easy.
Given that servicemember funerals can be quite elaborate, and I'm sure that number also likely includes a number of other things like death benefits paid to the families, I can totally believe that cost.
Guess I'll just have to make sure to leave specific instructions to my family that I am to be thrown in the trash and to spend that money on something fun if they're gonna spend it.
Absolutely! It's something people really don't like thinking about, but end-of-life planning is super duper important. Create and regularly update your will, ensure you have beneficiaries listed for stuff like stock accounts, and leave very clear instructions (and ideally money) aside for how to act on them. Have a lawyer look over them as well to prevent any family bullshit from going on as well.

Add it to the pile of shit that should've ended his campaign in any reasonable timeline.
I don't fucking get it. I seriously fail to see how past events have lead us to be so complacent. I just want an answer but I know we won't ever get a good one. A single scandal used to have the power to make an official resign, how the hell have we gotten here?

How much does it cost to bury an avaricious, racist, mendacious sociopath? Feels like there is a gag in here somewhere.
How much to gag an avaricious, racist, mendacious sociopath? Shall we start a GoFundMe?

Swamp burials are free.
I'll pitch in.
- Brutally Murdered American-Born Citizen and Servicemember Vanessa Guillen
I appreciate you bringing this up, but it still boggles my mind that we make any differentiation at all of someone's worth based on where they are born.
While it shouldn’t affect their worth overall, it’s entirely reasonable for citizenship and military service should affect how much a specific country is willing to spend memorializing someone

It's just fun to throw back in their faces that they hate americans.
They're not real Americans.
Trump has talked about strong genes being the reason why some non Americans shouldn't be allowed to enter...
If Trump takes any more shit out of Hitlers pkaybook, I guess he's going to invade Norway to get heavy water plants for atom bomb production
Didn't he try to buy Greenland or some shit when he was president? That's probably where we should look first.

Remember though…. Both sides are apparently the same according to some people.
