A memorial service for Sen. John McCain is taking place in Washington Saturday. Former President George W. Bush and former President Barack Obama are giving eulogies at the service at the Washington National Cathedral. Both men defeated McCain in his two campaigns to become president, in 2000 and 2008. President Trump is not attending.

The service begins at 10:00 a.m. ET.

The "maverick" senator was previously honored at a memorial ceremony in his home state of Arizona Thursday, where he was eulogized by friend and luminaries such as former Vice President Joe Biden. Thousands of citizens paid respect as he lay in state at the Arizona Capitol.

Old Obama sitting there with his nose in the air no doubt thinking “My funeral is going to ROCK”

Yeesh what a debacle.

I stopped watching after Megan. As I said, this is Wellstone 2.0. It is totally partisan and political.

Swamp creatures. They should be in a cell block rather than a church.

If you really thought you had a choice, before Trump came along, look at this picture.

That is very important news, to those who care about such things, such as myself.

However, I don’t think it matters a hill of beans to those who hate this president.

I don’t think anything matters to them other than their own hatred.

It looked like yesterday Kankles wore a black shower curtain tent that went below her knees.

It used to be that a Chairman Mao pantsuit could cover all the flab, her colostomy bag and medications pump belt. Not any more.

Is McCain giving the live updates? I was going to say I’m surprised he didn’t make a video that would show after he died...but then he did.

Why is everything Donald Trump’s fault with these people?Trump did not make her father sick or claim his life, it was cancer, and to make things political at your dear loved one’s funeral is just bizarre to me. That said, I haven’t watched any of this just clicking on some threads here reading about it.

He turned it down then met with McCain and McCain said thank you for saving my honor.That’s when Kissinger found out that McCain was offered early release before then.

I don’t wish to speak ill of the dead, but this funeral is a joke, it is a pure political attack from the grave.

The FACT that McCain disinvited Palin and Trump is reprehensible.

I have no respect for this man, and am shamed that I voted for him.

Jeez I wanna like you John but really? I expressly wish that Sarah does not attend my funeral... Ditto Trump.
