The president doesn’t attend funerals That’s the job of VP or someone else designated. Malania attended BB because it was another First Lady. ,Pence as president of the Senate will be the designated mourner. Poor Pence !

The week after the funeral the pentagon should release his file, complete with the broadcasts he made for the enemy

“Buried in his backyard,” is a good one. Then he could be properly disposed of by having his putrid remains dug up, eaten by coyotes, and spread all across AZ in thousands of little piles o coyote scat. A truly fitting end.

Trump successes is what makes McCain even more bitter. From decisively winning the election to racking up one accomplishment after another..almost like Salieri and Mozart from Amadeus. Salieri at least composed some ok music during his time. McCain’s accomplishments are a big zero. Add to that that Trump hogs all the media attention while a media hungry politician like McCain gets none. And lastly Trump’s doctor gives him a clean bill of health and what does McCain get ? Brain cancer. I can’t imagine what it must be like to be him.

Vindictive and bitter to the end.

McCain is as bad at being a human being as he is at being a conservative.

I’ve never seen a Republican enjoy and relish, sticking it to other Repubs and especially conservatives like John McCain.

He literally lived for it and relished it.

Now, on his death bed and soon to be expired, he still harbors the hatred for conservatives.

Ok John, just F’ing die already and may God have Mercy on your soul.

Since the media desperately want Trump to be nasty over it, Trump should thwart them by staying away and acting respectful. Send Russian hookers to piss on his grave later.

John McStain = Vindictive, petty, treasonous, corrupt, jealous little $hit.

The president has better things to do with his time.

It’s tragic that John McCain, once an American hero, should dishonor himself so shamefully.

From the LA Times a few years ago:

“McCain’s mishaps in the cockpit
Three early crashes drew Navy scrutiny. A review of his record reveals a cocky flier, prone to test the limits.”

Hope this last place grad of Annapolis is not planning on flying off the planet. The Navy can’t afford to lose another plane.

Probably fake news.

That was my first thought. But other outlets have reported the story.

What's left out here is that McCain's people wanted Pence, rather than Trump, to attend -- which is probably what would have happened anyway.

Maybe it wasn't so much a "Don't you dare come, Trump!" as a "The VP will represent you, right? No need to bother coming yourself."
