The New York Post mocked Meghan McCain as “The Meg” on its Sunday cover after she used the opportunity of her father’s funeral to attack President Trump. “The Meg” is a reference to a plus-sized shark in the late-summer hit movie The Meg, starring Jason Staham.
The New York Post cover is just one part of a brewing backlash against McCain and the overall funeral service for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), which turned into an unseemly partisan rally Saturday with speakers like former Presidents Barack Obama and even George W. Bush trashing President Trump, who Sen. McCain refused to invite to his own funeral.
Also not invited was former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, John McCain’s unfailingly loyal 2008 vice presidential running mate.
What made Saturday’s shocking display all the more crass was that Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared were invited to the funeral and were forced to sit there and be humiliated, which might have been the plan. The McCain’s are infamous for holding petty grudges.
In an obvious shot at Trump, Meghan McCain used her eulogy to describe the death of her father as the passing of “American greatness. The real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who lived lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served.”
For good measure, she added, “The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great.”
Obama was also not subtle. He ripped into those who traffic in “bombast and insult and phony controversies and manufactured outrage.”

It begs the question; what represents “America greatness”-a career politician or a self made billionaire?
And after she has alienated conservatives. She will be standing alone.
Their only mistake was to expect the proceedings to be Civil in Honoring McCain.
It isn’t their fault that the Speakers showed themselves to be classless lowlifes.
One would have to assume that most of those pages, tax increases for regular folks, tax deductions and tax exemptions for all others(rich), were created under a democratic controlled Congress, with a democratic POTUS, or having the majorities to over ride vetoes. And we have only $20 trillion dollars in debt to show for it. More people collecting more money for doing less and those who work wondering why?
Trump is an ass, but he is the only man who has stated it needs to go and tried to do it. I will vote for for him again and will vote for those who support his ideas. And prepare for those who will try to stop his ideas from becoming reality.
Just like Megyn Kelly.
I do a weekly Bible study with my wife on Saturday mornings at a nursing home. I usually find that almost every resident has their TV on. Yesterday, almost every TV was off. I thought it was weird.
“Small” better describes Jeb’s wife.
:-)
She looked like a 5’4” block of salt pork.
Because muh bro Jeb!
(Whomever says Yeb! in jest re amnesty is a dope,
J is pronounced H in Spanish)
Wow.
Trump: Just for that, you’re not invited to my funeral, either. So there.

Meghan needs to learn how to better choose her friends.
She mocks their enemy and they mock her!
Wake-Up Meghan.
The daddy’s little girl routine.
Next best thing to a big pink bow in her hair.
Did she curtsy?
Her girlfriend left her for a younger chick. She’s still binge eating away the pain.

Ivanka & Jared are as ‘Left’ as you can go.
