by Rebecca Shabad / May.05.2018 WASHINGTON — People close to Sen. John McCain have told the White House that the ailing Arizona Republican does not want President Donald Trump to attend his funeral and would like Vice President Mike Pence to come instead, a source close to McCain confirmed to NBC News.

McCain, 81, has been battling an aggressive form of brain cancer for nearly a year and is back home in Arizona after he underwent surgery last month for an intestinal infection.

Trump is honorable (not like McFeces).
He’d even go to a Democrat’s funeral.
And yes, the McFeces funeral is a Democrat one.
Of the most fetid kind.

The idiot thinks he is slighting the Pres when he is actually doing him a favor. No doubt Trump is delighted, you can bet he didn’t want to go.

What a terrible man he is. Normal and decent people who are about to die are not bitter and vindictive.

Possibly lots of folks lined up with full bladders waiting for the post interment ceremonies.

Telling someone not to do something you know they won’t do anyway. A last desperate grasp at trying to appear in control. He’s showing what a vindictive, bitter man he is.

I wonder if perhaps the Administration’s plan is to send Pence to begin with and someone told McCain and this is his way of taking the sting out of the Presidential snub?

Almost identical posts at the exact same time.

Great minds indeed think alike, and in synch.

...”The idiot thinks he is slighting the Pres when he is actually doing him a favor. No doubt Trump is delighted, you can bet he didn’t want to go.”...

History will record McCain’s obsession with hate during his last days. Not a good place to sit if you are getting ready to face eternity and judgment concerning the secrets of your heart while on this earth.

McCain really needs to set a date and send out formal invitations. Let’s get on with it!

The Democrat “Obama/Clinton,scum & vermin, low life, will fawn over the passing of traitor, turncoat, John McCain. As for millions of rank & file everyday Americans, they could care less...Good riddance, John McCain, “Satan” himself awaits to greet you with open arms, at the entrance to his forever, everlasting, inferno, “Hell”.

There will no giant remembering crowds lined on the streets, highways and roadways of these United States of America, to honor McCain, only the political, dregs that hate the American Republic!!!

I hope President Trump uses the occasion as an opportunity for a round of golf.
