McCain doesn't want Trump at his funeral
2018-05-06
Making a virtue out of what would have happened anyway.
[NYP] Sen. John McCain loathes President Trump so much that he plans to diss him from beyond the grave.

The ailing Arizona Republican, who has brain cancer, is organizing his funeral ‐ and close associates have told the White House that Trump will not be invited.

Instead, Vice President Mike Pence, who served with McCain in Congress, will be asked to attend the service, the New York Times reported Saturday. The ceremony will be held at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.
This is one of the things we have vice presidents for, as in general their duties are not so pressing.
A stream of politicians, including former Vice President Joe Biden and former Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, have been visiting McCain at his Arizona ranch and a nearby hospital in recent weeks.

#25  Wrap him the NYT and throw him in the nearest landfill. Maybe pour honey on him so the ants can feast, carry bits back to their nest and he'll wipe them out.

#24  Not that things would be much different than what's he's been doing for the past few years.

#23  McCain should dedicate his last days to determining how to come back as a ghost to haunt Trump.

#22  Trump will respect McStain's wishes and the press will say it was disrespectful for Trump to do that...

#21  You know soldier when I die, you'll probably be there to piss on my grave.

No, Sarge, I promised myself when I got out of the service I'd never stand in long lines again.

#20  McCain doesn't want Trump at his funeral

I'd go. I could open a beer stand nearby and make a million bucks.

#16   Fake Russians hookers will pee on him and a copy of the fake Steele Dossier he was pushing can be buried with him.

Can't we get special visas for some real Russian hookers?

#14  While 'perhaps' uncharitable of me, I loathe this man. I have the occasional 'pray for sepsis' moments for this waste of flesh. I am going to consider his bout of diverticulitis as close enough.

#13  He can't even maintain some dignity as he dies.

Good riddance.

#12  Gonna have him "Lie in State" for a viewing at a former Keating Savings and Loan bank. People can tape $20s to his corpse. Fake Russians hookers will pee on him and a copy of the fake Steele Dossier he was pushing can be buried with him. Goober Grahamnesty will be weeping more than Cindy

yeah, I detest that POS

#10  May heaven be his reward - and the sooner, the better.

May he share a room with Benedict Arnold, another former POW who did great service at Saratoga for America, but who's ego brought him to betray a far nobler cause.

#7  Trump should do a fly over in Airforce One. Palin can be the co-pilot. Ted Cruz can drop a load ... of confetti.

#6  Yes, he wanted Lieberman to be his VP running mate too. Oh, and wants Biden to "stay in politics" aka Run against Trump in 2020.

So yeah, the mask is coming off now that he's convinced he's a dead man. I just hope he dies before May ends, for the sole reason it will let Arizona pick a Senator before 2020.
