[sunonmars]

CNN stating just now

McCain ordered Trump not invited to funeral...Eulogies to be given by GW Bush and Barack Obama..........

.................

You gotta know Trump will be raging and seething over this. McCain delivered one last middle finger to Trump......Gotta love the guy for that.

[Power 2 the People]

1. Amen.

[Rosco T.]

2. Will the annoying orange try to force his way in?

I'm the president, I can go where I want

[HipChick]

3. Out of respect to the family...

He better not...

[Rosco T.]

9. Respect? You think that orange turd has any concept of respect?

really?

[lame54]

13. Unless he's buried on a golf course...

Trump won't make an effort to attend

[liberalnarb]

15. He wouldn't know respect if it golden showered on him.

[malaise]

14. He wouldn't dare

Let's see how he tries to capture media attention now.

Would be fun if Jr.is indicted in the coming week.

[LiberalLovinLug]

74. He doesn't even want to go anyways.

It would be like some other official function chore he would have to slog through. I'm sure he's happier playing golf or something.

[Hoyt]

6. I think they'd throw him out.

[xxqqqzme]

69. Quite possibly.

I remember watching President Ford's Memorial Service. Darth Cheney started to approach Betty Ford two different times during the service. Both times her sons, on either side, stepped forward and blocked him. Very interesting

[HipChick]

75. Interesting...thanks for posting...

[lunasun]

7. Oh jeez let's hope he has the decency to stay away . None of his flunkies like Kelly, Pence should

go if they have one shred in them

[MojoWrkn]

66. He was also not "invited" to Barbara Bush's

funeral and did not attend but Melanoma did.

[mcar]

4. Well played, Senator

Rest in peace.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. Fuck Trump.... Long live Obama,

Who gave McCain his due.

Respected him long after the election of 2008 was over.

[olegramps]

67. McCain's concession speech of unity is the explicit condemnation of Trump and his bootlickers.

McCain fully understood that the nation's survival is dependent on the unity of the nation. It is exactly the diametrically opposite of today's Republican Party's propaganda that reeks with fascist hatred, racism and division.

[Ilsa]

8. I hope the news coverage that day is

Only on mccain, not a single mention of the vulgarian.

[groundloop]

23. Unless one of his clan is indicted

[Ilsa]

46. I could live with that. ;-) nt

[xxqqqzme]

83. That's the day he'll fire Mueller

n/t

[Ilsa]

84. Scary thought. (Shudder) nt

[Va Lefty]

10. Seriously, can you blame him?

[malaise]

11. The Con is a fucking pariah

He is shunned and hated by the vast majority of the planet.

[roscoeroscoe]

55. Truth

So obvious

[spanone]

12. Thank you John...

piss on that guy.

[Bayard]

16. Good for him!

Hated tRump, and wasn't afraid to show it. A rare Republican.


Melania will probably make a showing.

[kimbutgar]

17. You know the orange maggot is going to make McCain's death about himself

He will angry and say awful things about McCain In the next couple of days. McCain forbidding him at his funeral will make him a martyr to his cult members.

[pintobean]

18. Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.

[smirkymonkey]

19. Good. After the way he treated McCain he should never be allowed.

His lack of decency is an affront to this grieving family.

[keithbvadu2]

20. Traitor Trump has already given his eulogy.

Traitor Trump has already given his eulogy.

JM served his country - POW.

DT said avoiding STDs was his personal VN.

[JohnQFunk]

21. Eulogies by two legitimate American Presidents - a rare honor indeed

Rest in power, Senator!

[groundloop]

27. Let's not get carried away with 'legitimate' ..... W was handed the White House by his brother

I fully understand though..... Compared to Spanky ANYONE seems to be a breath of fresh air.

[rzemanfl]

29. +1. n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. Just how was gw Bush legitimate?

[RockRaven]

22. Dump will be rage-tweeting distracting garbage during the funeral. He can go f--k himself though.

Let's be honest... if you have an ounce of thoughtfulness or compassion for those you leave behind, you wouldn't want him at your funeral either, no matter how much you like his politics/policies. Even a Trump-humper, if they considered their own family and friends' grieving, would not want Trump at their funeral.

Trump is an abnormal, socially malevolent presence. He makes EVERYTHING about himself, which is ENTIRELY inappropriate for a funeral. He is totally incapable of comforting others. Every sentence out of his mouth is offensive, either obviously-scripted but poorly-delivered or nerve-grating in its callousness to the mourners and ignorance of the deceased. Watch any of the times he's spoken about deceased soldiers. It is an abomination, a poor imitation of humanoid behavior.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

53. That second paragraph-- 👏🏾 nt

[sammythecat]

78. I'll second that. n/t

[DinahMoeHum]

24. Twitler better keep McCain's name out of his mouth.

n/t

[HipChick]

76. He can't resist...I am sick of hearing impulsive..

at his age, its a personality defect....

[TheCowsCameHome]

25. Trump will unload one last rotten diatribe

He ALWAYS has to have the last word. Count on it.

[ailsagirl]

42. At LEAST one

The miscreant is incapable of keeping his mouth shut

[Bengus81]

26. Hell,he'd rater be golfing anyway and let his insane followers keep trashing McCain....

SHITler is always about someone else doing the dirty work and the heavy lifting..........

[yankeepants]

28. Trump's interpretation: "Good. More golf time!"

[LuvLoogie]

30. Why do I think that the day of McCain's funeral is the day he either fires Sessions, Mueller, or

Rosenstein?

[leanforward]

38. Lets hope not

Wanna join the march. It's easy. Exit train at Union Station and head for Constitution, or Independance or Pennsylvania avenues.

Likewise, I think there might be some legislative leaders visiting the WH and suggesting/recommending he resign immediately or impeachment.

Do you think he might respond to a crowd larger than his inauguration?

[LuvLoogie]

40. I would if I could afford to safely bring my wife and kids. Timing would matter, too.

I suppose going myself is an option if my wife had help while I was away.

[Old Vet]

65. Iam already on it, Wife walked in the room and said I know you gotta go..............

Sen. McCain was a national hero, He was my hero. He will be terribly missed by me, I will see him for the last time next week.

[ailsagirl]

31. Good

[ailsagirl]

32. President Obama's statement

Former President Barack Obama, who beat McCain in the 2008 presidential contest said in a statement, “We saw our political battles, even, as a privilege, something noble, an opportunity to serve as stewards of those high ideals at home, and to advance them around the world. We saw this country as a place where anything is possible – and citizenship as our patriotic obligation to ensure it forever remains that way.”

[JohnnyRingo]

51. Wow, that was eloquently beautiful!

I forgot presidents used to to talk that way.

[ailsagirl]

73. Not like today...

when we universally wince whenever IT opens its mouth

[Demovictory9]

33. Yikes

[workinclasszero]

35. One last patriot act from John McCain

[lpbk2713]

36. One last way of saying ... "Trump, you're an asshole" .

And he's right.

[njhoneybadger]

37. Good Move Senator McCain

R.I.P. Soldier

[Permanut]

39. Just you wait and see..

Mango Mussolini will get even with John McCain for this, by God.

Oh wait, no he won't.

[Historic NY]

41. John we got your back.

[DownriverDem]

43. Will always cherish

I didn't always agree with Sen. McCain on the issues, but he did put country and people first. I will always cherish how he voted to save the ACA. Thank you sir. He put we the people first. One of his buddies was Sen. Edward Kennedy who died of the same type of brain cancer on this day 9 years ago. RIP.

[Uncle Joe]

44. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread sunonmars

[Cousin Dupree]

45. I'll never forget how he responded to the elderly lady who said Mr. Obama was an Arab and

couldn’t be trusted.

[KentuckyWoman]

47. I'll never forget how he chose a running mate that helped whoop that shit up in the first place

He long ago said he regretted it. I believe him because in the vast balance he did try for the good.

But history is what it is.

[Cousin Dupree]

48. Good point!

[JI7]

52. she was not vetted. they didn't pick her knowing who she was . he was losing in the polls and she

WAS governor already so it's not like he just picked some pundit or other person who hasn't served in office.

but she turned out to be a mess.

but she wasn't responsible for the hate . that was already there. she did rile them up but SHE was never going to be president. she was treated as a joke by the media which she was .

what we need to ask is why Trump wasn't held to the same standards as she was.

[Blue_Roses]

60. So true...

[Tarc]

62. "why Trump wasn't held to the same standards as she was"

Oh, we know the answer to that; gender.

I was as vocal as any in opposing that absolute trainwreck of a human being, but we all know that the media put her under a microscope that no male counterpart would ever receive. They did the same to Hillary in 2008 & 16.

[BeyondGeography]

57. He knew he had to throw a bone to the crazies

I think he was holding his nose but she goosed his numbers a bit and he was pleased as punch with himself until the depth of her ineptitude became obvious to anyone with the barest of standards. It definitely goes down as a major liability on the life ledger.

Otoh, explicitly stiffing Trump at the funeral and requesting a eulogy from Obama flips the bird not only at him but at the nutjobs, too. I have to give him credit for that.

[Zambero]

64. He wanted his pal Joe. Palin was foisted on him

And when her ineptitude was exposed for all to see, it McCain lost any chance of winning the election. Ironic that campaign operatives Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace had pushed for Palin's selection, and it did not take long for them to figure out that a huge miscalculation had been made. Looking back, it can be argued that Sarah Palin assisted Obama in becoming President. And yes, I believe that McCain was keenly aware of this.

[SCantiGOP]

49. A scary thought

What might Trump come up with to distract from the news coverage of Obama’s eulogy to McCain?
It would need to be something vile, which he is quite capable of doing.

[JohnnyRingo]

50. Hahahahaha

Touche, John McCain. Your point for the win.
I hope he rented his final suit in Donald Trump's name too.

[oasis]

54. McCain gives another👎🏼 to Traitor🇷🇺Trump upon leaving this world.

Trump will see McCain's thumbs down in his dreams.

[Raine]

56. Perfect sense

after what Trump said about McCain, good for McCain.

[Achilleaze]

58. Good

That's as it should be. Let him stew and steam with his vile cabal of republicans traitors to America, while a patriot is honored.

[Vinca]

59. Now what will Trump do to upstage McCain? Whatever it is, I hope the media ignores him.

[llmart]

61. What does it say about Trump...

when a long time Senator who is suffering from a terrible, fatal illness, goes to the extent of making sure his family and everyone else knows that the so-called "President" is not welcome at his funeral?

It speaks volumes about how despised Trump is.

Trump isn't worthy enough to lick John McCain's boots let alone attend his funeral and eulogize him.

[ehrnst]

63. Just as well - a silver spoon draft dodger would stick out like a sore thumb

at a funeral that will involve military honors.

[DoctorJoJo]

68. Or In Trump's Case--A Bone Spur!

[ehrnst]

79. LOL!

[orleans]

70. here's the trump tweet

"My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are with you!"

at 5:44 pm saturday august 25 2018

imo it's obvious he didn't write it
here are my clues:
1. he doesn't have sympathy for anyone
2. he respects no one
3. he doesn't have a heart
4. he doesn't pray

[bellmartin]

72. 5. He doesn't have a clue of how to spell "sympathies"

[miffelplix]

71. I wonder what President(s) will attend Trump's funeral

Putin of course, if the funeral's in Moscow. Perhaps Disney can lend an animatronic Andrew Jackson?

[SCantiGOP]

80. Jefferson Davis

[Raphe M]

82. James Buchanan

He'll be there out of gratitude for Trump's relieving him of the Worst President Ever title.

[Shoonra]

77. Trump is not invited to my funeral either ....

Nothwithstanding Trump's hostility to McCain,

I believe that McCain will be welcomed by Jesus, who has a much better attitude about people who had been captives.

[onecent]

81. John McCain......you are already missed. AMEN to you!!!
