I still don't understand why such a huge deal is being made of McCain's death/funeral.

Yes he was a war hero and deserves the acknowledgement and respect for that.

But he was also a war mongering DC swamp monster, RINO, and all around crappy Senator.

He doesn't deserve respect for that.

Why people are seemingly incapable of separating the two, I have no idea.

This American was not outraged.

Trump never mentioned.

If you know they are talking about Trump, you know he has a problem.

Whataboutism is the only way to defend Trump.

A bunch of bought, and paid for politicians desperate to keep their establishment pay days in the advent of the Trump era. Love it. The fact the Media promotes them, and their views tells me all I need to know. BOUGHT, and PAID for. Want corruption? Just watch that crap.

You'd have to be stupid to not know about whom they were talking.

What do they all have in common? They hate Trump with a passion. Use funeral as platform to push that agenda. Rest of USA sees right through it.

Cute.
It wasn't any tweet -- it was Christina's tweet -- don't you live to see what she thinks about what is going on in the world.

Come on now -- OP picks nothing but the best and most influential tweets.

I doubt most Americans even watched the McCain funerals or much of the news about his death.

The hype made me want to puke. Reptiles like McCain are what holds humanity back. No respect.

You explained it accurately.

It's pathetic how some have been swindled by the phony puffy of McCain by the liberal-biased media and certain politicians (that need to be voted out of office) and still can't accept the truth.

So you all must have been glued to your tv's for a week because I missed so much of the hype.

Yesterday we took a day road trip to explore......rest of the week we watched other shows, etc.

Sure I caught the highlights but I didn't get bombarded as some of you feel.

Turn off the TV, social media -- whatever is feeding you more information than you want.

Funny -- in a time we hav emore control over what we see and hear and folks complain more about what they see and hear.
