Ah, yes, the Wellstone Memorial. I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for Jesse Ventura, because he walked out of that rotten event.

IS he in the ground yet? Despite my feelings about him, may he rest in peace and may we also get some peace.

I despise his daughter and his two "buddies" who eulogized him. I despise the democrats who flipped-flopped on their hate/love for him. I despise the national media who allowed this to become an egotistical tribute to a man of uncertain heroism.

Gone and forgotten.

If I never hear Aretha Franklin's name again it'll be too soon. That's how bad it was. They just would not shut. the. hell. up. about. it.

McCain is about to be buried at the Naval Academy

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/j...my-today-2018-09-02/

A motorcade with police processional carrying McCain's casket arrived at the Naval Academy just after 1:30 p.m. ET

The private ceremony will take place with close friends and family after 2 p.m.

McCain will be laid to rest in a plot next to his beloved friend and Naval Academy classmate, the late Adm. Chuck Larson. Larson had reserved four plots at the storied cemetery — two for McCain and himself, and two for their wives, now widows. Larson died in 2014, and McCain wrote in his recent memoir that he wanted to be buried next to his friend, "near where it began."

"Graham and Lieberman were two of McCain's top allies in the Senate and his close friends -- they were often called the "three amigos" -- and their praise for his daughter came after she posted a photo of herself with them online reflecting that bond, calling the two senators her "uncles forever."

Yeah, funny Uncles, eh.

From CNN, if you need to go there.

"Day 127 of the McCain funeral". That's just about right.

Later tonight, we'll have the post-game wrap-up and then a cotillion for the debutantes, followed by an old-fashioned hay ride.

According to the "news," there were "calls for unity" during McCain's funeral services.

Whenever you heard Obama call for "compromise" it always turned out he meant "Do it my way."

Somehow the "calls for unity" during McCain's services (never mind the questionable appropriateness) sound very much the same.

A "call for unity" from a leftist means submit or face my wrath. As for fireworks? I have a stash I am saving for the celebration. The celebration where certain enemies of the nation begin their long painfull trip to hell. I don't expect that to be anytime soon, but I do expect to live to see it.

the behavior of the left this past week was despicable, classless, and desperate... Using the occasion to mourn the dead as a political attack on the POTUS was disgusting, worsened by the media's rubber stamp of approval. Absolutely shameful, yet these assholes feel no shame.

And yet... President Trump kept it classy... and loaned Air Force Two To the McCain Family:



President Lends Air Force Two To McCain Family To Bring Body Of Senator To D.C.

While President Trump was bad-mouthed left and right over the course of Sen. John McCain's five-day funeral and remembrance ceremonies, he actually did the former senator and war hero a solid.

McCain's body was flown to Washington, D.C., on an aircraft that was approved by Trump. "The late Arizona senator's casket was loaded onto one of the jets known as Air Force 2 -- which is often designated for the VP or First Lady's travel," TMZ reported.

McCain's family was also flown on the same plane out of Phoenix on Thursday afternoon after McCain's body lay in state in the Arizona capitol building.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Dead and buried, life moves on.
The sun has set on the long goodbye.

I’m betting there will be a HBO movie or mini series on him in the very near future, and win some of the leftist awards they love giving themselves.

I turned on Fox News about an hour ago, and the first thing I heard the guy say was "John McCain..."

So, the answer to your first question is "NO!!!"

I'm hoping for an all-clear by Wednesday or so. I'm starting to run out of DVD'd programs to watch.

If you're talking about TV "news", it is never safe to turn it on.

I believe most mini series have a shorter run than his actual funeral! Big Grin
