Confidants of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told the White House that President Trump won’t be invited to the ailing senator’s funeral, according to a new report.

Plans for McCain’s funeral, according to the New York Times, include an invite for Vice President Mike Pence, but not the president. The service will be held at Washington’s National Cathedral.

Trump and McCain have had an embattled relationship during the president’s time in the White House...

“Is that bastard finally dead?
Has the line for pissing on his grave started yet? “

Yeah, we all need to know the pendency of his death so we can start drinking beer to facilitate the graveside pissing!

“Got to wait until 21st of May so they do not need a special election”

McCain will give his Hospice Nurse a wink and a nod on May 20th when she comes in with the Opiates. Bitter and vindictive too the end.

I, will not.

I will dance a jig when I find out he’s been torn out of his rotting carcass.

“Trump should offer to anoint McCain’s grave with the finest whiskey as a peace offering...after he has strained it through his kidneys. “

Yes, hay is always cheaper after it’s been through the horse!

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."

If it is indeed true I doubt they were trying to be kind to Trump and his busy schedule. :-) If could mean they think Trump would be a distraction and don't want him there. Again -- the whole thing seems far fetched to me. When long-time senators die usually Presidents attend the funeral. In addition McCain ran for President as a Republican and Trump is the defacto head of the Republican Party.

Trump is damned if he does, and damned if he doesn’t. Either way the MSM will develop some $hit narrative to trash him.

How crude of you! /s

Save me a spot.”

Even the dogs are lining up for this one! “John McCain, better than a fire hydrant or a tree!”

So funny, my husband just said the same about the Russian hookers, but adds Stormy Daniels to dance next to the casket.

Would NOT have gone anyway. McCain trying to be a stinking POS even in death. A petty, bitter, nasty man.

SAD. He doesn’t realize how quickly he will be forgotten.

GOOD! I hope he does not regret it and change his feeble mind afterwards.

The one positive note from this playground-like adolesent behavior is that it appears McCain hasn’t much time left. Meanwhile he has a lifetime of last minute screw jobs for his supposed political party of choice before ambling off to collect his 72 virgin reward. Although he may not have publicly declared thimself a 72 virgin seeking boy lover while living he no doubt has high expectations of an Honorary 72 Virgin Award.

In closing I would like to send out a prayer for someone who recently passed and really will be missed; Gunnery Seargent R. Lee Ermey. Hey Gunny, if you happen to bump into McCain while crossing in the hallway between Heaven and Hell please shout out the following to him as he decends and you ascend: “Hang in there John, Hillary Clinton will be down to join you before you know it.”

I guess Trump will have to spend his time that day with people who matter more, since after all ...

McCain gets a service because he dies. I prefer people who don’t die.

Can’t wait to celebrate the success of McCain’s tumor!

A national holiday should be create in its honor.

I’m sure this lets Trump off the hook as I’m sure he’d rather be somewhere else just like most real Republicans would want to me. This will be a RINO funeral .

I’m betting Lindsey Graham dry-humps McCain’s body while on display

I’ve been saying for some time that Trump should beat them to the punch and announce that he won’t attend the funeral out of respect for the fast

McCain writes a book about civility returning to Washington then he pulls this.

McCain has always said he’s no hero. Then went ballistic when Trump agreed with him.

One last thing. Trump should forbid all military from attending.
