Victory for President Trump!
And may death come quickly to his enemies.

McCain’s memorial remembrances were filled with themes of unity, inclusion, and compromise. They stressed how McCain was someone who could reach across the aisle, find consensus, and put differences aside to bring people together for the greater good.
It’s too bad McCain’s final actions contradicted that message...
Senator McCain had a perfect opportunity to be the “maverick” of his reputation. He could have been the unifier. He could have done the right thing by allowing even those he had unresolved issues with, differences with, to come and pay their respects and to honor him. He could have shown the country, not just in words but in action, that no matter how great the differences we have with one another, we can move beyond them, beyond the anger, bitterness, pain, even our own pride and ego, to come together to do what is best for America.
John McCain could have done all these noble things. But he didn't.

Yes, “fetid” - damn auto-correct strikes again.
It's not uncommon for the descendants of slave owners not to know or remember that their ancestors owned slaves or for people whose ancestors were White supremacists not to know or remember that either.
If your ancestors were White and alive a century ago, it's not unlikely they were White supremacists, and if your family "owned a plantation" it was also very likely they owned people as well, but that's not something families talk about, especially if they've moved away.
I'd say it's human nature to forget such things or to conceal them to the point where one's children and grandchildren have no knowledge of the facts.
proves, beauty is only skin deep...
I am watching How Its Made on Sci-Fi. Snap-On sockets, synthetic rubber, Damascus blade knives with bone handles.
As soon as the rain cloud passes Im going into my honey bee hives with my grand daughter to harvest some honey.
McCain was bitter and hateful about the fact that his betters were always those who did not have the proverbial silver spoon in the mouth that he was born with. People like Sarah and Donald have lives filled with the kind of achievement of which McCain could only be jealous. He built his reputation on consorting with enemies and opposing moral causes. We are well rid of his contemptible life.
Don’t forget all of our POWs and MIAs who never came back from Vietnam. There was evidence that many of them were still alive. McCain and John Kerry destroyed all the evidence and treated the heart broken families poorly too.
The prolonged McCain funeral is nothing more than a hate Trump festival.

And come next week, when Trump’s approval polls go up, the befuddled Deep State and Establishment will once again be mystified, confused and still lacking in understanding.
One of my dearest friends, now deceased, was on the Forrestal during the fire. He rarely talked about it, but many of his “mates” died and if he ever used the term ‘mate’, I knew he was very upset (i.e. if someone was in danger, like about to fall off a cliff, he would call them ‘mate’). He did not re-enlist when his time in the Navy was up because of the Forrestal fire experience/memories. He lived his life to the fullest - full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes because he saw first-hand life could be snuffed out in a second.
One noble thing he could have done was resign from the Senate when he got sick.
The last vote he had on behalf of all of us in AZ was on Dec 2nd. 2017
I bet that was never mentioned. /S
Put that a**hole in the ground and forget about him. No, never forget about him.
His daughter obviously learned her bitter, petty, ugly, spiteful, and sanctimonious ways from her dead old Dad.
Pathetic. Sad. Unseemly.
She is as ugly on inside as outside.

Ha Ha,,,
In the world of actual accomplishments??....Nada
I don’t recall Kennedy’s funeral being this bad - the difference is Trump wasn’t president so the press/family weren’t using the death as a weapon against the sitting President.

The display of hateful arrogance on the part of MCLAME and his family is, in my opinion, showing all of them for what they really are. Most people still consider funerals to be a time and place for respect and reflection. It is in no way, shape, or form, a place to play politics, especially by a LOSER.
From what I gather, McCain backed Reagan all down the line, but when conservatism turned "anti-government" he wasn't going to follow the Tea Party. He was a "government guy" his whole life long. His family had been in the public sector for a century, so he wasn't going to make criticism of the government his thing. It wasn't what he was interested in. Like another Arizona Episcopalian with a military background, Barry Goldwater, McCain also didn't like people he saw as "mixing religion and politics," so he wasn't too friendly to Evangelicals or social conservatives, either.
You could also draw a comparison between McCain and Dick Cheney. Foreign affairs was the primary preoccupation of both men. McCain's emphasis was on the military, Cheney's was on the power of the executive branch; neither man was that concerned with other political issues. Both Cheney and McCain were irascible, cranky, and somewhat jaded. But Cheney recognized that he'd have to play along with social conservatives and those who wanted a more limited government. He wanted to be inside the conservative tent. McCain liked to be outside, with the rest of Washington. He was a government lifer, an Establishment man who liked to play the maverick.
You could also draw a parallel between McCain and the Republicans of his grandfather's day: William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, John Hay, Elihu Root, Charles Evans Hughes. They went to war with Spain and took Puerto Rico and the Philippines. They thought they could bring democracy the Cuba, built the Panama Canal, sent the Great White Fleet around the world. They grappled with whether to enter the Great War or join the League of Nations, and ended up enlisting in Wilson's crusade and signing treaties outlawing war.
That was a very different time with different issues and different political fault lines. McKinley and Roosevelt favored a "strong central government," but that didn't mean what it does today. There wasn't the massive federal bureaucracy or the emphasis on redistribution that we have today (though TR gave us a foretaste in his 1912 campaign).
If you want to understand McCain you can think of him as a Hamiltonian or even as an empire man, in the sense that McKinley and Roosevelt were. That could have helped people from having unrealistic expectations about the man.
What I saw of the Aretha Franklin funeral wasn’t all that much different."Paul Wellstone Memorials”
None, of course, are from red blooded conservatives. This is all a smear campaign put on by Marxists to sully Republicans for their failure to acknowledge McCain’s heroism.
Banning people from your funeral!? Who does that?! When you, in the Valley of the Shadow, are the exact same JACKASS you have been in life TRUELY you are a DEFINITIVE jackass.
