12:10 p.m.

Sen. John McCain's family has gathered on a tarmac as military members took his flag-draped casket from a hearse to a plane that will take him from Arizona to Washington, D.C.

An Air Force plane that says "United States of America" will carry McCain and his family to the nation's capital Thursday.

It follows a memorial service in Phoenix attended by 3,500 people where former Vice President Joe Biden spoke.

There will be a public viewing Friday at the U.S. Capitol and a service Saturday at Washington National Cathedral. He will be buried Sunday at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

Have not watched or listened to any of this for ten seconds, however long it takes to change the radio station. My only info is scanned here and I have but one question. Is he in the ground yet ? When the enemy praises your ally he wasn’t your ally. Mean, petty narcissist.

No. They’ll have him displayed forever on the public square just like Lennin.

“...horse and caisson...at the next stop on the McCain funeral tour? What a self inflated egomaniacal man. It was never about “we the people” with him, only self aggrandizement and it’s on full display even to his very bitter end.

“Funerals are not for the dead. They are for the living.”

Funerals are a disgusting barbaric custom (memorial services are just okay).

Something about viewing or even KISSING a DEAD ROTTING CORPSE seems wrong to me. (HURL)

The person is GONE! whether to heaven or hell (few to heaven, many to hell).

BURY THEM ALREADY!!!!!

I don’t they asked for AF2. Think Trump did that.

Shows reality.

Well, If the entire Fed Gov is reworked under Trump, many of them will walk away. To the benefit of the nation.

Some should walk away to Prison.

Cris Kyle’s funeral procession was many miles long and it was a huge spontaneous gathering without invitations required. He was not a POW nor a Senator.

McCain? I never liked him, occassionally would agree with him, but seldom did that happen.

I would never have acted to disrespected him directly. But this is a circus.

I thought he was sucking dirt this weekend? Will this never end?

Nope. The pedoluciferian buzzards in d.c. and the media will be feasting off mcstain's rancid corpse for weeks.
