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.

Jesse says, “are you seeing what I’m seeing?” That woke those two old geezers up. But Bill said, “I have to be careful - Hillary is watching me.” OR possibly, “Hillary IS WATCHING.”

It is just political theater, meant to influence the midterms during an election year. I have had no desire to watch any of it. If anyone really cared about mr. McCain they would be in a church praying for his soul, not on TV getting some camera time.

I don’t know about this service but yesterday I had to turn to C Span to get rid of all the yak-yak going on with the networks.

I agree. She should be praising God for not allowing him to suffer from cancer any longer.

There will be a follow up funeral and visitation in Vietnam’s Hanoi Hilton to allow his friends there to smile. Then, his casket will be lying in State in Russia, prior to being interred next to Lenin.

This is turning into the Wellstone funeral. Megan said there was no need to make America great again, it was always great. A pointed slam against Trump that garnered the applause of the audience.

Megan inherited the vindictiveness and pettiness of her father. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

The minute I saw what was on FNC, “off” went my TV. You want to see heroes, go out to Arlington or to Walter Reed.

Yeah, we get it, Meghan. You loved your dad, your dad suffered in Viet Nam. But what I’ll never forget is how your dad could ALWAYS be counted upon to rush out and side with the Dems against any true conservative bills, and often succeeding in defeating them. Your dad, through innuendo, demeaned actual conservatives, often using the lexicon of the left.

Megan was just awful. So much bitterness and entirely inappropriate.

President Trump as an outsider

President Trump is an outsider. That's why I voted for him.
