Several years ago, as Ann Coulter (2016) was being laughed at for predicting the Trump presidential win, I was reading a piece about why working-class America was supporting a billionaire. It was a nasty piece, a hit job, explaining that poor, working class Americans were a bunch of dupes enamored by wealth and fame. Deplorables, according to Hillary. It was also total bullshit. Over the years after Hillary Clinton, perhaps one of the most highly effective criminals in America lost her bid to become President, I came to understand the widespread appeal of Donald Trump. It wasn't polished bullshit, it wasn't party support, experience, or a career of broken political promises. It was something else entirely. Something that I treasured. To be sure, I was not a Trump supporter back then. I am a strict adherent to George Carlin's political views in that we keep electing these rich assholes and nothing changes. So I skipped the voting process in 2016 for that reason and also...

What kind of assholes would commit such an atrocity?
I'm unclear as to whether the fault lies with the mortuary or the military?
I actually ran into a similar problem last year at a cemetery to which I took my aunt's cremains. The people at the cemetery, located in a now-terrible section just outside DC, wanted me just to drop off my aunt's cremains without letting the family see the urn buried. It was one helluva mess to get the cemetery to give in. And, really, the cemetery folks didn't give in: they only let us stay graveside until the urn was partially buried. I've often wondered if, after we left, they dug up the urn, dumped it somewhere, and sold the urn to a crack dealer.
