The RINO #NeverTrump people could have a convention inside a 7/11 and still leave room for people to get to the Slurpee machine.

Even some true Christians, who “put on the whole Armor of God”, get their ticket to Heaven punched at a young age. Mormon Magic underwear does nothing but delude a group of people, most of whom are sincere, all of whom are misguided, and just plain wrong.

Oh, if I ever get near his grave he'll get a tribute all right. They might want to install some kind of urinal next to his headstone just for hygiene purposes.

At the appropriate time, I will pay fitting tribute to McCain with a loud fart.

If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

What McCain and Clinton did in the Mideast under Obama were war crimes. Let’s not forget Ukraine.

In another oddity....I can’t finf this FoxNews article on their Twitter feed, either. 🤔
Looks like they don’t want any flak, I mean discussion, on their site or feed.

Trump is doing the right thing by being silent.
McCain kept viciously attacking Trump, so Trump is under no obligation to say anything nice to or about McCain.

So long songbird. Don’t you worry because President Trump has everything under control. Too bad you won’t be here to see it when he’s done. Odious amigo.
