But if it makes the driveby's shut up....

Despite our differences on policy and politics, I respect Senator John McCain’s service to our country and, in his honor, have signed a proclamation to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff until the day of his interment.
I have asked Vice President Mike Pence to offer an address at the ceremony honoring Senator McCain at the United States Capitol this Friday.
At the request of the McCain family, I have also authorized military transportation of Senator McCain’s remains from Arizona to Washington, D.C., military pallbearers and band support, and a horse and caisson transport during the service at the United States Naval Academy.
Finally, I have asked General John Kelly, Secretary James Mattis, and Ambassador John Bolton to represent my Administration at his services.
Done and done
Time to move on while the press is distracted
{Hang in there Trump.
This 24/7 McCain worship will be over in 5 or 6 more days.
He is dead and he isn’t coming back.
And thanks for the new trade deal with Mexico.
MAGA}
Agree totally with all you said.
Remember when McCain put his Presidential campaign on hold?
Would Trump dare to have a rally that day? It would be kind of low-class, but, dammit, I’d love to see it.
Good for Trump. He went HIGH even though McCain consistently went LOW and was nothing but petty, critical, and nasty to Trump.
This statement should be the LAST thing he says about McCain. If asked his simple response should be:
“John McCain loved this nation and was always looking forward. That is where my focus will remain. On the present and future of this great nation and making America great again.”
Exactly! Especially after they released that sophomoric and cliched final letter from that loser.
I just took my flag down. I’ll put it back up when that traitorous bastard is in the ground.
He didn’t cave at all.....john mccain isn’t worth any fight....”Let the dead bury the dead”....
He didn’t cave at all.....john mccain isn’t worth any fight....”Let the dead bury the dead”....
Only reason mccain didn’t resign is he wouldn’t be getting this over done send off as a sitting Senator.
It’s a lot more than the pig deserves. Good riddance.
But if it makes the driveby's shut up....
Yes he is.
Won’t be watching one second of the nonstop McCain funeral coverage that will be going on and on and on and on....
President Trump didn't cave. The traitor chose the "Rommel option" to spare his family from disgrace. McCain died at 4:28 PM MST (7:28 EDT) on August 25 -- 30 days to the minute after Q Post 1706 (July 25 at 7:28 EDT) showed his photo and stated "No name returning to the headlines."
Germans mourned at Field Marshal Rommel's state funeral, believing the Desert Fox had succumbed to wounds received from a strafing attack four months earlier. Only after the war did they learn that Rommel took the offer of a cyanide pill to avoid hanging for his part in the plot to assassinate Hitler.
Senator No Name will have his state funeral and a burial plot at Annapolis, but at the price of taking his own life on someone else's terms. He is gone, and more like him nervously await their destinies.
FAR MORE than McCain deserves, IMO.
The fact that they had to request it from PRESIDENT Trump, well that there is the bitter pill they were just forced to choke down.
Genius how President Trump said, “At the request of the family”. BWAHAHAHAHAA!
I am guessing it was mccains FAMILY who got President Trump to relent. He specifically stated that they made direct requests of him, which he granted. For the families sake.
