John McCain’s Funeral Was a Council of War—Just as He Meant It to Be
Esquire ^ | September 1, 2018 | Charles P Pierce

Posted on 09/01/2018 5:54:27 PM PDT by ResistorSister

...We thought they could withstand anything, even a renegade president* in the pocket of a distant authoritarian goon. We let the customs, manners, norms and institutions weaken through neglect and now we are in open conflict with an elected president and, make no mistake about it, John McCain's funeral was a council of war, and it was a council of war because that's what John McCain meant it to be...Even at the end, John McCain knew what he was doing and he was a fearsome opponent. He wanted a pageant of everything this administration* has trashed and put up for sale, and that's what he got Saturday—a morality play shot through with Shakespearian portent and foreshadowing, a pageant of democracy's vengeance.

To bad McCain is dead, he could have enjoyed this useless, spiteful display of anti-Americanism.

It’s beginning to look like Election Day 2016 was just the beginning of the Second Civil War.

I thought gun sales would drop once real Americans were no longer in immediate danger. Then "resist" happened. There's one good result from the open treason of the deep state and of the far left - decent people will be prepared.

Not for nothing but here for. All week long broadcasters, anchors, and printed sources have used the word internment. The proper expression is internment. One means to jail and the other means to bury. Anyone surprised the geniuses got it wrong?

THE MEDIA says that John McCain planned all this out (every detail of this Hollywood produced funeral) before his death.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

One has only to read your comment to understand exactly who is running the funeral show.

McCain was, is, and will always be a screwball egomaniac. Last in his class, first class ass.

John McCain’s funeral was like a triple serving of milk of magnesia.

P.S. Hillary never forgot Trump’s remark at the debates.

She didn’t let it bother her at the time, but she put that arrow in her quiver , like we all do. Once she lost, it was time to arm the bow.

This is why ALL this hatred of Trump is being generated through the media by lies from the deep state (which is the media).

Hillary wants revenge, and she will not stop. She has the money and political/corporate pull to keep it all going. Obama is helping her because after she is successful, he will quickly get rid of her.

Just like she gets rid of those who no longer support her.

The good news? John McCain is DEAD! His actions should cause his name to become a verb. “McCain,” to lose all sense of moral behavior and make an ass of yourself being small and vindictive.

Piss on his memory if you can’t piss on his grave.
A loser, gone and forgotten.
