John MCCain lying in state at the capital rotunda and speech’s by Senators now live on television.

Only 30 people have had this honor, of them 13 were Senators.

Abraham Lincoln was the 2nd.

The list: https://www.aoc.gov/nations-stage/lying-state-honor

Includes Billy Graham, Rosa Parks and the two police officers who died in the line of duty protecting the Capital building.

Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouye who received the Medal of Honor

Surprisingly not Ted Kennedy. Not Nixon, but Ford.

Not Truman or Roosevelt, but Johnson.

Interesting that a man who held John McCain and everything for which he stood in contempt (probably still does) speaks at his funeral. The epitome of duplicity.

Congress didn't lower their flag when my grandpa passed so I'm not lowering my flag for one of them.

I saw a picture of Trump playing golf side by side with a photo of John McCain's casket coming down the aisle. The headline said both photos were taken at the same time. No mention that Trump was told to stay away and was not invited.

New York Times contrasts Obama and Bush vs Trump.
The uninvited golf playing president vs the eloquent former Presidents, one of whom was an idiot in there minds just a few years ago.

I’ll wait till Monday.

McCain laid to rest.

Its Monday, the funeral is over.

https://people.com/politics/john-mccain ... s-divorce/

Daughter and first wife discuss the divorce.

John McCain's first wife stood by her man back home when he was captured and organized pressure to bring the POW's home. He blames their divorce entirely on him. He admitted to extra martial affairs. He was granted an uncontested divorce and several months later he married his second wife a rich attractive woman who was 18 years his junior. Gary Hart was a groomsman. He then retired from the Navy and moved to Arizona, where he was shortly after elected to the House of Representatives.

Here is Milo's essay on McCain, as only Milo can.

I will say I have never seen such an outpouring of love and respect for a Republican by all my liberal Facebook friends. It was really astonishing. You would have thought it was Teddy Kennedy.

Not much difference. Liberals adored McCain because he was one of them except in party affiliation.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager
