Sen. John McCain Casket Flies to D.C. on Air Force 2 Trump Does the Right Thing

John McCain is finally getting his due respect from President Trump -- his body is being flown to Washington D.C. on an aircraft that had to be approved by POTUS.

The late Arizona senator's casket was loaded onto one of the jets known as Air Force 2 -- which is often designated for the VP or First Lady's travel. As you know, 45 will not be attending McCain's service in D.C. ... reportedly because McCain wanted it that way.

Still, Trump announced earlier this week he had greenlit military transport for McCain, saying, "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."

Prior to the statement, Trump was being incredibly stubborn on publicly speaking about McCain's passing ... refusing to answer questions about the Senator, and even briefly returning the White House flag to full-staff. It was eventually lowered back to half-staff.

If McCain wasn’t such a dick head he probably could have flown on Airforce 1.

Anyone with a friend , neighbor or family member who was MIA in Vietnam were Alinskyed if they spoke out. Now that his position and power are gone expect the rule keeping both his and Kerry’s records hidden will be changed. All will know what they did. Not just the friends, neighbors and families !

“...expect the rule keeping both his and Kerry’s records hidden will be changed. All will know what they did....”

You hope. And so do I. But the “gatekeepers” are already spinning it up.

Already, the story of what a great “hero” he was is being spun. The History Channel and one of the other cable stations had two different two-hour documentaries on about him already.

John Mccain Exposed By Vietnam Vets And Pow’s

Using an existing image from Google's image library in an FR post to illustrate what might happen if John "Plane Crash" McCain had been flying Air Force 2, does not show any disrespect whatsoever to the people who died in that crash, any more than showing a picture of the crash of the World Trade Center (see below) to illustrate what might happen if another terrorist were to hijack a plane and fly into another tall building.   There is no disrespect to any of those victims in reality -- any disrespect you feel from that is all in your own mind.

That’s a start.

The shame of it is, in the position he was in, he COULD have done a lot of good for people and the Country; families of American servicemen who never came home from Vietnam in particular.

Whatever was driving him inside, we’ll never know now.

Thanks, Jane.

This may be one of the only places where the nasty crap that guy did won’t get flushed down the memory hole.

Did she actually say those words?

I think that was a click bait headline on some website. I think they had quotation marks on it. I couldn't find it then and I can't find it now. If she had said it during the speech, it would be in headlines all over the world. I should have dropped the quotes.

True that, brother...

There’s a few more on the Outlive List too. Many more shots of bourbon to celebrate, too.
