Actually sweet pea, your father and his fellow politicians made America a lot less great with filthy regulations like this. Lots of wire brushing to do to fix the mess.

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.”

Ivanka and Jared were in a no win situation. If they stayed away they would have been savaged, if they went they lost your respect. *sigh* They did what they thought was best and they paid dearly for it. They will know better next time.
Lose/lose.

Think all the kids were there but not the ex.
I suspect DJT wanted then to go. Everyone knew what would happen and the bad optics for the McCainiacs happened as predicted.
Re: 6
You have to make comments about her appearance?
No class.
Horse drawn caisson for a POW is protocol. I attended the burial of a wonderful man, WW2 POW, at Arlington.
Why would Meghan McCain want to give Donald Trump such major publicity, and take it away from the late John McCain? All the headlines are about Trump!
It is difficult to grieve when there is so much negativity about who was and was not invited, especially the unjustified, petty, and rude slight to Sarah Palin. That is the news instead of remembering the accomplishments of the late Senator.
The speakers at this debacle produced by President Trumps enemies showed how low they will go. This made the Wellstone Funeral Farce seem almost proper. Most families do not act this way in public, but no doubt this was the script left behind by the vindictive man in the coffin.
Jared and Ivanka and the President are the only people who acted in a mature and proper manner.
thats too funny!
Chances are her father encouraged them to go, or at least gave his blessing to it. I doubt they would have attended against his wishes.
This Wellstone 2 was in many ways worse than Wellstone 1.
By this evening McCain will be 6 feet underground and a distant
memory.
I never saw tears, just acting.
Yeah Meg,... NutMeg!
I haven’t.
And I do not particularly care for either one of them. They are obviously both liberals, however, they did nothing wrong here.
They were invited to attend a funeral, and they did, during which time they were humiliated by the other invited guests.
I lost respect for all of the other invited guests, although it’s fair to say that I had little to no respect for any of them to start with.
I cannot stand Mehgan McCain's politics or opinions, but she is a human person of basic dignity with whom we will battle with on the field of ideas with class.
YES?
“Here is Talking Point One [sob] against Trump.”
“Here is Talking Point Two [sob] against Trump.”
MM is still fat, still stupid, and still fake.
Make Evil Gargantuan Again.
Trump asked them to attend along with Pence, to represent the administration.
