CBS ^ | September 1, 2018

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.

Although there’s his after death docusmear the place where he’s to be buried is on the grounds of the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Those of you who plan to “honor” him there (cough cough) should be warned - they have pretty high security there.

I figure one of the reasons for his being planted there is to make it difficult for those wanting to piss on his grave.

I heard it rained on him as he was being carried into the Capitol. Could it be the heavens did the pissing?

If Hillary had won the election, McCain would already be under the ground. This pony show is 100% about attacking Trump. AS MCCAIN WANTED IT TO BE, DAMN HIM!

Beyond over the top!! It actually sickens me to watch this. I don’t give a crap what he did in his heyday, all I care about is how he screwed the President WE elected in his dying days. Spiteful bum. Boo Hoo.

I agree with this. Seriously. This had to have been part of the equation.
