Media is being vague about how many actually showed up to view McCain's coffin at the AZ State Capitol. I can only find "more than 1500" or "thousands." I am curious--why:
McCain's very last campaign rally in 2016 drew less than 150--even with free dinner and drinks being offered. And.....
President Trump's rally in August 2017 drew nearly 20,000. The fake news media didn't want to talk about those big numbers.
“We’re burying my father Saturday and didn’t send out invitations”
Sorry for your loss :-( .
It seems like your dad was a good man to raise a kid that would make a quip like that :-) ... my dad was the same way and I would have said the same thing a few years ago when he passed! :-).
Did they have free alcohol ? - all you can drink? Should have at least brought in a couple 20 Mule Team Wagons full of that piss water beer the trophy wife sells
There’s a flag covering it, so that’s not an option unless you’re an NFL’er
A megalomaniac.
The whole state is NOT in deep mourning. Total exaggeration!
McCain thought he was more important than he was, that’s why he arranged this weird show. Hopefully someone has pictures or a video of the whole thing

Ditto. That’s what’s so funny - his own vastly inflated ego will come back and bite him in the end by making it obviously no one except his family and a bunch of whore democrats gives a rat’s ass that he’s dead.
Actually, I take that back. I do give a rat’s ass. I’m celebrating.
Was Bill Clinton there?
IMO, if he had truly cared about the people of the state of AZ he would have resigned and allowed someone to go to Washington, DC to represent them.
Who invites persons to their funeral?
Certainly no one down here in the south. One finds someone has died and it would be a personal decision to attend the funeral, the burial, or both. To ‘be invited’ is just not done. To be asked to speak or a pallbearer is not exactly an invitation, only asking for a duty to be fulfilled.
Of course, DC creatures have their own set of rules and etiquette under which they live.
Not tacky at all. McShamey the lying traitorous coward was first and last all ego all the time. He wrote the instructions ( I’m sure with Cindy’s aggrandising help) so what else did anyone expect?
I bet some Calypso Louis “Million Man Math” is going on.
As Yogi Berra once said, you can’t expect people to go to your funeral if you don’t go to theirs. Classic!
I see what you did there. Nicely played...
We noted his dry humor in his obit.
Went over some peoples heads.
PC, he was NOT
He was happy to have Bush W and Obama there, who both crapped all over him. All forgiven amongst globalist cronies. Not inviting Palin is slomy but that’s McCain. He can’t hurt us anymore
I predict few will show up at the Capitol, either - unless the SEIU starts busing in paid mourners.
I found it interesting that the personnel removing the casket (yes, casket, not coffin) from the hearse were Army, not Navy.
I have been asked to be a pallbearer several times. Always surprised how heavy the casket is.
