Washington Mourned John McCain. President Trump Played Golf.

Barack Obama delivering a eulogy at the John McCain funeral service in the National Cathedral.

9/1/18
WASHINGTON — For the clusters of onlookers, besuited power players and three former presidents who had all traveled to Washington National Cathedral, the muggy day was a historic opportunity to memorialize the life of Senator John McCain, who was remembered as a deeply patriotic war hero, a former Republican presidential candidate and a scrappy, humanly flawed, ultimately idealistic lawmaker.

For President Trump, it was Saturday.

So as Mr. McCain was eulogized in the presence of much of the American political establishment, Mr. Trump, pointedly uninvited, engaged in what by now is a familiar weekend routine. He sent a series of angry tweets aimed at some political adversaries, then left the White House to play a round of golf at his resort in Virginia.

Unworthy. Unwanted. Uninvited.

Yes, it would have been much more appropriate for Trump to have spent his Saturday wallowing in self pity over not being invited to the funeral of the Senator who hated him.

He just did it at the golf course.

He always wins there.

The recent torrent of gushing about John McCain's honor, patriotism, civility, and amenability have nothing whatsoever to do with the man and everything to do with his adversary in the White House.

Ironically this planned out funeral by McCain lasting a week in his honor full of pomp and circumstance, much was provided by the one he despised, Donald Trump who was not invited. Upon the news of McCain's passing, it was Trump who told Gen. Kelly to call the McCain family and offer them anything they needed. It was Trump who signed off on the use of Air Force 2 to provide transport of McCain and his entire family to Washington along with all the military to provide the ritual of transportation of the remains of a soldier. It was Trump who signed off on the use of the military orchestra and choir to perform at the National Cathedral. It was Trump who signed off on the wagon/horses carrying McCain to his final resting place and a full military burial. And it was Trump who had to sign off on the additional security needed in Washington for these events to occur.
 
Wah, wah, wah. McCain hated Trump, wah, wah, wah, wah.

Honestly, McCain never put me in the mind of somebody who watched much reality TV, or read Page 6 very often, so there's a very good chance that Trump was barely a blip on his radar, until Trump ran for office, and then besmirched his time spent as a POW by saying that "he liked people who weren't captured."

You think McCain was a fan after that? I mean, seriously. There are two kinds of Republicans now. Everybody knows this. Y'all's party is divided right down the middle. No denying that. Trump has fractured the party, and he landed on one side, and McCain landed on the other.

McCain had every right to not want Trump at his funeral, and who could blame him, after what he said about him.

That being said, Trump had every right not to go, as well, because he knew he would not be welcome.

Consequences and repercussions. Trump hasn't learned what those are yet, but he will.

Maybe. :shrug:

Keep this crap up and it is going to nothing but get Trump reelected.

:lol: Poor baby, getting attacked like that. You'd almost think he'd never said a bad word about anybody before.

Consequences and repercussions. We all have to deal with them at one point or another. Even Trump.

To me McCain was a True American Hero that sold out to enemies of the worst kind... domestic enemies, the establishment. Thats pretty bad, trading on such...

The same thing happened at Aretha Franklins funeral. All the race pimps got on tv and made their spiel.

Some day famous people are going to sell rights to their funerals and make some money off them for the estate. Hell, maybe even a funeral mini series! “New on Netflix! Al Gore's funeral - three epidodes. Episode #4 $5.00! Watch them lower the casket! And don’t miss a visit to our memorial gift shop!”

To each his own. I personally could never support someone who dissed our POW's to sooth a bruised ego. I'm not one to base one's greatness or lack of it based on political affiliation or political philosophy and ideology. Others do I suppose.

I'm still sorry that the funeral was politicized. I guess the answer to "Is nothing sacred these days?!" is "No."

Trump is a fighter, of the never surrender style. McCain, not the War Hero McCain but the establishment, enemy of the American people, Mc Cain belittled (similar to the fat ladys deplorables comment) the crowd at a Trump event, called them "crazies", remember? A real fighter hits back...twice as hard.

The comment in some context:



Yano?

Whats the establishment that runs both parties have to do with political affliation or ideology? They are simply corporatists not out promoting the Constitution, nor the entire country nor regular Americans.

Surely you know that.

Common Sense you will be hard pressed to find any Republican who condoned Trump's comments on the campaign trail that besmirched McCain a war hero. Trump was very wrong.
But at the same time you would be hard pressed to find on the left side who didn't think McCain was a war monger. The very lefties praising McCain today are the same ones that totally trashed him when he ran against Obama in 2008. Go back and do a search and see what all of them were saying about McCain at that time. When you compare what Trump said and their comments at the time of the 2008 election the word hypocrite comes to mind. They painted him a racist, a war monger, a man with a violent temper not fit to serve as president and the list goes on. Many of these assholes were among those invited to McCain's funeral at the National Cathedral given special recognition.


Like I mentioned in a previous post, the one McCain did not invite to his week long pomp and circumstance funeral he planned, Donald Trump, is the man that made sure all his wishes were fulfilled.

No. They spoke well of a man with character. Of course, that would be an insult to anyone who likes Trump since the current president has no character. Maybe you all should ditch the Orange Man.

And took cheap shots at President Trump.

This is why the people are voting against the permanent political class.
