Now they’ve laid John’s body down, sad old men and women who run this town. Their sadness was feigned. One of the treasures exchanged for power is the capacity for honest and wholesome emotion. It’s all unbounded ambition, bloodless calculation, and reflexive insincerity. The “sad” is from the perspective of the wise and ethical. Many of the “mourners” are so warped, so corrupt, and so beyond redemption that they evoke profound despair among those who see them for what they are.

“As we contemplate the ghouls dance at McCains funeral... “ What does that mean apart from the poor grammar?

McCain bought that funeral with his Obamacare vote treachery.
I wonder if he thinks it was worth it now?

The only thing that I would have enjoyed more than seeing McCain dead and buried, would have been if he had fallen out of his coffin Ayatollah Khomeini style.

“Their sadness was feigned. “
Actually I think the sadness and mourning is real. Not for John McCain. He was just one of their legion.
I think the mourning is real because they are mourning the collapse of their “politics of inevitability”.
Until Trump, the DC UniParty “politics of inevitability” meant that no matter who “won” the elections, the agenda and outcome was always the same: globalism, open borders, amnesty, “diversity”, “free trade”, anti-Russia war... etc. etc.
McCain embodied the UniParty positions on all of these issues.
And now he is dead, and Trump is still in the White House.
There was an extraordinary symbolism of the entirety of the DC power structure being at the McCain funeral - except for Trump.
And, of course, Trump is more powerful than all of them put together.
Another reality they are mourning.

Re: John McCain is buried, may his philosophy soon follow.
Amen.
The man tried to stuff Amnesty down our throats in 2005.
Three years later, he ran the most inept presidential campaign in American history and did everything possible to help Obama win the election.

John McCain, as far as I can tell, was a man that through family ties was able to go through life making misjudgment after misjudgment, mistake after mistake, crime after crime, yet through his naiveté and alignment with America’s domestic enemies, be regarded and praised as an American Hero and icon

This is good, well-written and entertaining:
“The “old” is real. The powers that be look and talk old.
Their philosophy is ancient, tottering like Hillary Clinton falling into her van.”
HA HA HA HA HA...

"Many of the “mourners” are so warped, so corrupt, and so beyond redemption that they evoke profound despair among those who see them for what they are."Wow. Hits the nail on the head.
