Trump's being attacked for extending condolences to the family rather than making an insincere tribute to a man who hated his guts and tried to destroy him. I thought POTUS's comment was appropriate under the circumstances.

I suppose he could have responded like my father upon the death of his stepfather (who beat him every day and twice on Sunday): "I hope the bastard rots in hell." Or maybe like Bette Davis when Joan Crawford died: "You should never say bad things about the dead, only good. Joan Crawford is dead. Good.”

Are we to assume these DC elites have never known similar family dynamics? If so, my how sheltered.

However, I think it's just the stink of rank hypocrisy hanging in the air. And to that I say, P U .

Well, at least he didn’t expose himself in public.
Thank you J.M. for that.

The liberal media loves traitors. Trump was absolutely right about the
Songbird.

History records prove that:
1. John McCain started the fire on the aircraft carrier that needlessly killed American seamen.
2. John McCain was a Prisoner Of War, kept alive as a bargaining chip between the North Vietnamese and his daddy ‘the admiral’.
3. John McCain was a member of The Keating Five, who bamboozled American citizens out of their money through shady financial dealings and theft.
4. John McCain, with a 98% assuredness, always voted “No” when it came to better treatment of America’s military veterans.
5. Lastly, John McCain, in one of his last acts of defiance against the American citizens, voted “No” to free the American public, from the slavery of Obamacare.

I have a serious observation. It does not appear to me that John McCain had a great record of achievement. Certainly his POW service and presidential nomination are very noteworthy, but otherwise he doesn’t stand out. Being liberal half the time and supporting the military are notable but not unique.

McCain didn't care about the lives of others, and he shouldn't be respected or talked about admiringly just because he finally died. Dying doesn't make a person something they aren't. He was an ignorant and violent warmonger who only cared about himself.

TRUMP 2020!

Given that McCain is having no less than THREE FUNERALS, I'd say McCain spared President Trump a whole of grief and time!

Don't want POTUS at your funeral?

“McCain the warrior pilot is to be admired for bravery and duty.”

???”Warrior pilot?” ???”Bravery and duty.” Bravery and duty have nothing to do with his accomplishment of missions...If he didn’t do what he was ordered to do he would end up in military brig. Don’t try to paint the picture that they had to hold him back in hopping into a plane and going into battle. His most important mission was to “please daddy” the Admiral. The only time he didn’t run away was when he “ratted” on his buddies in the tiger cages in Vietnam.

The leftist media loved him, except when he was running for president.

As soon as I saw the news yesterday, I turned the TV off. I knew it would be wall to wall repetition without end.

Never forget that the bitter old bastard said a couple months ago he regretted picking Palin. McCain was a class A SOB and that comment about tbe only reason millions of republicans held their nose and voted for him proves it. Palin should not say a word about this old RINO kicking the bucket and not attend his funeral.

"..the President will not be invited to the funeral."

Which is fine.

He acknowledged his death, publicly extended condolences to the family, and ordered flags to half staff.

I'm guessing that PDJT will now likely (and appropriately) refrain from ever again invoking the late senator's name.

McCain’s sordid past will be bleached to serve the current hate Trump narrative of the propagandist media. He will be useful to them as an icon. We live in Orwellian times. True journalism is dead. Sadly we on FR can reach only a limited audience.
