I swear . . . McCain was a petty man to the 10th degree

“...class points for sure...”

DJT was the only one who was respectful and not hypocritical.

People will see that, and they will respond.

I don’t know much about the Navy. Was McC a chief petty officer?

It may move it upward somewhat.

I agree. It put me even more firmly in the Trump corner.

I agree, Trump is even stronger as a result of the McCain. etc. bashing. The McCain nutcases, as usual went way over board and over the line. The TV viewership nose dived after the first day of this “three ring circus”. You can rest assured the Media will try to hide and cover up the lack of TV viewers, but facts are facts....not many folks in the American Republic give a darn for John McCain one way or the other!!!

No. He graduated from Annapolis, the Naval Academy, and, as was true of all of his classmates, was immediately commissioned as an ensign, the naval equivalent of a 2d lieutenant in the Army. Then he rose through the officer ranks to captain, the naval equivalent of an Army colonel.

Meghan McCain, GW Bush, Barack Hussein Obama, Jeff Flake are all, low life folk void of any class, dignity, decency and honor. They will not have Funerals of any note when the Lord deems to pass them on. In life one reaps, what they sow.

Which begs the question; why did Juan McScum get all this pomp? He certainly didn't deserve it.

The only answer that makes any sense is it isn't for McScum; it's for the deep state swamp to prove they have value. Well; more value than pond scum. This is the corrupt deep state honoring one of their own fellow criminals. McScum was simply the most visible pond scum of the swamp. Most of the rest are support staff except of course those like McConnell, Ryan, Graham, etc. etc.

Chances are none of them will die of cancer while on active duty in office though. This is why McScum didn't do the honorable thing and resign when he had the chance so the people of AZ would have proper representation (even though he was the worst kind of representation).

McScum will always be the traitor who died dishonorably who betrayed his country, his state, and those who were honorable to him in spite of his petty hateful ways. This is how I will remember him.

He has been judged by God and gone to a place we cannot know about. Still; he died bitter, unrepentant, and without any joy in his heart so we can take an educated guess where the pond scum will spend eternity.

Yes, as with the Wellstone funeral, it is ultimately a fiasco for the Left. Which also tells me that Trump is chuckling over giving them taxpayer resources to fly the corpse back to DC for more ridiculous fawning. Our President is a genius!

This just shows that Trump's opposition has absolutely nothing to say, to propose to the nation. They get the national stage all to themselves, and do they use it to lift us up, to rise above it all, to show us a different way. No, they use it to bash Trump, making Trump the headline of the funeral, not McCain. Well done! Saturday around the watering hole this subject passed quickly - hope it comes up again today, yours is an excellent argument.

The politicizing of the funeral shows just how desperate the left is, and it showed how tacky McCain and his family and some of our "leaders," such as George W. Bush and Obama, are.

I think many of the media and oratory statements were disgusting. As a long-time cleric put it, “praise them and bury them!” ... don’t abuse the occasion for political campaigning

Disgusting!

and since he wasn’t invited, president DJT did exactly the right things by issuing a good little statement, lowering the flag as provided by law, and moving on

For a time, McCain sported the mantle of “Lion of the Senate”, deserved, or not.

All those fawning over him either want to take his place, or know someone who does. So, they have to get McCain’s “fans” to like them, and help promote that end.

Does anyone really think that Trump had a remote thought of his “approval status” for providing AF2 to transport McCain? With what the McCain family, and cronies have been saying about Trump, how could he even think it would get him points with anyone - especially the media.

Wasn’t it Michael Obama (Michelle) who said, “They take the low road, we take the high road.”? Well, two can play at that game.

Remember, if it hadn’t be notable, it wouldn’t have made the news.

Do you think the Soviets had over-the-top political funerals?

Well America’s own ruling Uniparty has entered the same territory.

McCain was entitled to a proper funeral, with the respect and trappings of a career military officer and a United States Senator. But, this production, planned and designed by the Senator himself was a broadside against the sitting President and a propaganda tour de force. The press were full on board and spoke their assigned lines enthusiastically. The refrain, shouted every half hour or so was to point out that Mr. Trump was absent. No one from one of the news divisions, including Fox, mentioned that Trump was not invited. The Fox morning crowd told their audience that he had been deliberately snubbed, but the professional journalists did not.

In the end this was overdone and went way beyond McCain to make it a Nuremburger Rally for the Deep State Resistance. Leni Riefenstahl would have produced the whole thing except that she has been dead these many years. I believe that McCain intended this to push the coup across the goal line through the midterm election and then the impeachment where the message for all would be that the Deep State are in charge for perpetuity and the silly voters will be told to go back to their corners and color.

Both of which, he was very mediocre at. Certainly not to the level of the kind of pomp and circumstance he got. His greatest accomplishment was being a 'media darling'.

This had all the trappings of the death of a dictator, with extravagant pomp and mandated attendance to fatten crowd size. Interestingly, we attended two large gatherings last week, and no one mentioned the double-header funerals staged by the media for their enjoyment.
