How is it justifiable exactly? Trump praises Kim Jong Un, Putin, Duterte, Saudi Arabia, Manifort, etc., etc. and he can't just be an adult when McCain dies? Seriously? It is embarrassing. You guys try to wrap yourselves in the flag and feign respect for military service. If your respect was real, you would take note when vets had to shame Trump into demonstrating respect for a soldier's service and sacrifice.
You can hate McCain for his politics all you want, but Trump openly disrespected his service and sacrifice. That is something else, and it is pathetic, especially pathetic coming from a man who ran the other way when called to serve.
There used to be a time when at least basic decency was commonly expected among adults.
Expected among republicans you mean. McCain actually exemplified that expectation. When the left(or the Bushes for that matter) hit him hard instead of hitting back he tried to give the appearance of taking the "high road". He became known as a very graceful loser. The time for conservatives to be graceful losers has come to an end.
Whats really depressing is the fact that half the country has been taken in by the con man in chief and no matter how ignorant and outrageous his behavior they will adore him and give him a free pass on just about everything and they cant wait to vote him in for a second term. .
If “ Did not Vote” was a candidate in 2016, it would have won in a landslide.
Not every one of the 1/3 ish who voted for Trump drank the kool- aid. I am one of them.
Some voted against Hillary.
Some thought he would moderate his tweets, rhetoric and toxicity, once elected.
Some overlooked Trump’s immature emotional temperament.
Some believed numerous campaign promises to deliver better healthcare at a fraction of today’s cost.
Some believed he would release his tax returns as he promised to do.
Some vote Republican, no matter who.
Trump’s core base is a fraction of the number who voted for him.
Even Obama treated his critics with greater respect than Trump has ever shown himself capable of doing. And yes, we are well within our rights to point out thr atrocious behavior that you seem to support.
And no, it was not justifiable against McCain. Nor is it against Sessions, much as I may not personally agree with him on all things.
At rallies - Trump's base frothed at the mouth while they chanted for McCain to die.
A disgruntled old man who tells you that you aren't welcome at his after life services deserves respect from that person why? McCain did nothing but attack Trump from day 1. Where was McCain's respect?
Doesn't matter. McCain asked that Trump not come to his funeral because of McCain's family. He didn't want his wife, children, loved ones to be uncomfortable or put in a position where they had to ask the President not to come.
Trump obviously doesn't like the man so why would he be offended he was told/asked not to go to the service. And the only reason that became public knowledge is because Trump doesn't have the decency, diplomacy, character to know when not to show up....so they made sure he knew.
Trump has no manners, has no compassion he does everything for himself.
Someone needed to explain to him a polite, respectful statement and leaving the flag at half mast would make Trump look good. That's all he wants. He wants the ratings people. He doesn't care what happens as long as he gets the ratings.

Get over yourselves. What exactly did Trump do that is so awful? So you say Trump is awful for some unknown reason but McCain is a saint meanwhile he started the entire spat between them?

Reason: language
We traded in all the things important to you. For what's really important.
So, you admit you "traded in" honesty, compassion, justice, freedom, liberty, common decency, democracy, kindness, respect, consideration, care for the vulnerable and fragile, and most of what's good in the world for what, money?
Autocracy? Rudeness? Dishonesty? Infidelity? Child abuse and neglect? Vulgarity? Harshness? Cheating? Ignorance? Stupidity? Alienation of our best friends? Favoritism to oligarchy? Cronyism? Discrimination? Narcissism? Lies? Nepotism? Racism? Misogyny? Favoritism? Greed? Cruelty?
Good trade there, buddy. Enjoy your wealth.
