I got a bunch of messages on the phone that the coverage was starting. I went outside to enjoy the sun and later do some work. Somewhere I knew it would turn into a hatefest against Trump.

They probably think President Trump should have got as close as he could without crashing and then stand there looking forlorn and pitiful so they could get some shots of him isolated from the asshat kids.....

“It’s a culture war and it is the beginning of CWII.”

Indeed. Most people don’t recognize the war is begun, it it merely at a low intensity stage right now.

Well, I for one, am glad all the hoop de hoop about the “hero” is over! Got so sick of a week of the ploy. Put him away and move on.

Frankly, McCain proved himself to be the smaller man, with his ugly, invitation list to his funeral.

Yet his treatment of Sarah Palin, who stayed loyal, was a disgrace. His spiteful rejection of her was mean spirited and cowardly. Why couldn’t he do the big gesture? Why would not this non partisan giant of a statesman bring his intrepid running mate to the Last Supper of his life?

This renunciation of a loyal partner and patriotic woman whose son fought for America was uncalled for and speaks to his nasty, ungentlemanly side. He did not rise, he did not learn from this teachable moment, nor did he better himself or us with this small, vindictive act. McCain is not nearly the figure to whom this maudlin praise alludes. He is a politician, and in his dying moments chose to continue vicious partisan squabbles rather than exhibit the magnanimous gestures of the statesman that they all say he is. He left a bitter fool, and turned a religious ceremony into a political hatefest against his perceived enemies. The debacle was the absolute symbol of what has become wrong in American politics. It was McCain who deliberately chose not to bring people together.

It was a disgrace. A man now known by his hatreds. Politicized our most sacred ceremonies.

We now see that Sarah Palin was nothing whom he believed in, and all his high blown campaign rhetoric was just that. A cynical political stunt, by a cynical political man.

John, you could have made us proud, you could have invited your enemies to this final celebration and have everyone join hands, you could have shown America how to join together, but you chose partisan politics, and slap the other cheek.
