Ahh. You pay homage to people who use a funeral to throw political. hand grenades. Say they are good for the USA. Nonsense.


America has come to detest these self important sellouts.

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.

It's the indirect comments that gets ya. Could be, could be not.

It's like the dirty joke that some one tells that the one who hears it, their mind just goes there.
PS: abuse of power comment could be any POTUS at any time throughout the history of the u.s.

I don't see any outrage about McCain's funeral or the content of the speeches. tRumpers feeling the loss of attention for a couple days, give me a break!

Now, it's become acceptable by the news media to exclude people you don't like (even your presidential running mate) or to use the podium to bash your political opponents and expose your hateful heart.

What ever happened to respect for the dead?

What kind of low life idiots can't respect the person they came to honor and spend a few minutes of their time NOT bashing their political opponents?

its not just funerals, everything is becoming politicized. and it is being pushed by the left. their hate for trump has gone well past the bounds of civility and decorum.

Why have funerals become a platform for hate and politics?


Because Trump has kicked the establishment where it hurts, and this is all they have left.

I was disgusted for another reason.

I am all for honoring McCain’s military service and time spent POW.
But seven days of non-stop celebrating for a dead Senator???!
I am sorry, but every problem we have in this country has been created, caused, ignored, or perpetrated by our Congress.
Yet they all become extremely wealthy and often corrupt from their political perks and connections to all the special interests. They even give themselves a free ticket from Obamacare. They get elaborate benefits one can only dream of, paid for by us taxpayers. Yet they put their personal and their party’s interests far before us citizens.
They refuse to solve any of our country’s big problems.

Only the media has worse ratings.
Congressional politicians do not deserve this kind of “honoring.”

Exactly. Well said.



I remember the old George Carlin monologue about the two Knobs on the TV.
(for people who were outraged by this or that being on TV) that there were two knobs on the TV
...one turned the channel the other one turned the TV Off. Perfect solution!
