Former Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain is lying in state in the U.S. Capitol Friday, an honor held by very few in the Senate.

In order to receive this high honor, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell spoke “in coordination with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi,” according to CNN, so the public would have an opportunity to pay their respects and honor his service as the senator of Arizona for 35 years.

Means you daid and ain't comin' back. Would have thought that no more trouble could be caused but in juan maclames case, there's some anti Trump video he participated in that is due out any time now. Let bladder filling commence for post interment activities. Then again, since it will be at Arlington, we may have to hold the festivities at a monument in AZ someday.

Well, after the first 30 minutes or so, who is actually going there to see him?

Will Soros pay his minions to go?

This person does not deserve this honor. In real life, he was a disaster at everything he did. The fact that an icompetent, unhinged, petty moron like McCain could rise to the level he did shows our country is in trouble.

Soros doesn’t work like that. Once the recipient cashed in the check after services, he’s doesn’t give a rip about you..

He's on display to assure actual patriots that McCain is indeed dead...

Sorta like when they put Quadafi in a meat case in a butcher shop, or strung up Mussolini in front of a gas station.

It isn't about honoring McCain. It's all about making Trump look bad which makes it even more of a disgrace.

This is a funeral like a POTUS would have. He was not. It’s embarrassing for his family in my opinion. So over the top..they constantly have to tell the world how great he was.

"John McCain Lies In State

John McCain also lied to the entire nation for decades about being a Republican.

Being a SPY for the DemonCrap party is more like it.

That means we’re down to the double digits in hours the media can continue to push the myth of “Maverick” on us.

Better people die every day. Honoring this reprobate makes the DC swamp creatures look even worse than they already did to people like me.

“Being a SPY for the DemonCrap party is more like it.”

That is why Biden was so sad to lose him.

What it means is he will be a distant memory very soon.
We are on the tail end of this disgusting love fest week.

Onward to save this nation.
