John McCain funeral: Obama, Bush give eulogies at Washington funeral - live updates
CBS ^ | September 1, 2018

Posted on 09/01/2018 7:06:30 AM PDT by SMGFan

A memorial service for Sen. John McCain is taking place in Washington Saturday. Former President George W. Bush and former President Barack Obama are giving eulogies at the service at the Washington National Cathedral. Both men defeated McCain in his two campaigns to become president, in 2000 and 2008. President Trump is not attending.

The service begins at 10:00 a.m. ET.

The "maverick" senator was previously honored at a memorial ceremony in his home state of Arizona Thursday, where he was eulogized by friend and luminaries such as former Vice President Joe Biden. Thousands of citizens paid respect as he lay in state at the Arizona Capitol.

"How else is she to find another husband?"

Probably already got one lined up. She won't be the merry widow for long.

“”Obama said it “John asked me to speak at his funeral, a year ago””

I’ve wondered since I read earlier this week that he made all the plans how long that planning was in the works. obozo did say he called him at the “beginning of the year” so that tells me he made some of these plans specifically for zingers at the president - no doubt! The longer he lingered, the angrier he got.

You shall know them by their friends...

There probably just a handful of friends at this memorial media event. The vast majority are there to show how never-Trumpish/globalist they are.

She deserved it for having had her life looked at under a microscope, analyzed, and re-analyzed by people who aren’t worthy to clean her boots. It was one despicable allegation after another...from claiming that Trig Palin was actually Bristol’s baby, to that stupid author Joe McGinniss who deliberately moved in next door to her to harass her and her family.

I could only wish one person in my family lived to be 81. I’m 71, and they’re all gone. The oldest lived to be 74. Am I living on borrowed time? You bet your bippy I am.

Thanks for watching Wellstone Memorial 2 and reporting on it.

I am waiting for the chants, "Win it for John."

"The longer he lingered, the angrier he got."

That's all he had was the bitterness, and he kept it until the day he died. Not good enough for him to get into heaven thankfully...unless there's a deep state up there too.

“”She is bashing Trump as much as she can.””

What did she say? Did the sons - any of them - speak? I’m listening from another room as I said I wouldn’t watch....

The pipe organ ruined a great hymn “How Great Thou Art” - would have helped if they’d been in sync with the choir. AWFUL!!!!

Cheers! Here’s hoping you have a whole bunch of “borrowed time”. Borrow as much of it as you can.

Again kick me that hard. She is now wealthy and idolized by her devoted followers. I would say from those tribulations she triumphed in ways most can only wish for.

Something to think about.....a lot of that sensationalism came from Trump's pals at the Enquirer.

He’s up for reelection in 2 years and has started to veer right. He learned that from his master, McStain. He’ll return to bashing Trump in 2020.
