OT John McCain, War Hero, Senator, Presidential Contender, Dies at 81

...umm, because it was at half mast over the weekend but was then again flown at full mast before being lowered again.

well , they are laying his body in state, could be that there is some formal reason for returning it to full, like separating the events of the death, and laying the body in state, which is a pretty big deal.

 

I spoke at my dad's funeral. In life he was an alcoholic who drank like a fish and smoked like a train. I did not mince words.

My aunt wore BRIGHT RED to my sorry ass grandfather's funeral. The ultimate protest.

Dying doesn't suddenly make you a good person or erase what you did. And no @CupWizier, the practice of speaking the truth about the dead isn't classless.

When Trump dies something tells me you won't have much good to say.

 

The day he dies I won't say anything....couple of months later I might. I wasn't raised that way. Don't see funerals as forums for protest personally...was really glad to see Trump uninvited to McCain's funeral though...also really liked Obama's condolences about McCain...that's what I call respect.

 

...no, it was lowered late last night...safe to say that someone made that decision.

...and after criticism Trump just issued a new statement on McCain...coincidence?...I think not.

 

...not mincing words is one thing, but flat out lambasting someone at a funeral is not the norm...at least not from my perspective.

...and I have no idea what Trump has to do with this.

 

If you think I "lambasted" McCain in this thread, MFs need to thicken their skin.

 

Well I'm gonna talk mad shit and won't care about what you say about my upbringing....

 

...check yourself...I never said that you did.

 

Good thing I don't have to adhere to your version of what moral authority and respect is...

 

Check myself.... Ok...

What was the purpose of bringing up Lambasting then?

 

...it was a general reference to some posts that were made earlier including mine...had nothing to do with you.

 

When Trump dies i will let him rest in peace. Don't try and speak for me. Sorry, but your whole act has been pretty classless over this, but that's just my opinion. It appears others might agree by the responses i have seen.

 

choices....good is good bro...adhere to whatever gives you joy...it's a discussion not a mandate...I choose not to disrespect people who've just passed away but in no way dictate moral authority...

 

I didn't mention your upbringing at all.I would never do that..don't know where you get that from...I talked about my upbringing...and you don't have to care about that at all...

 

I couldn't care less what you think of me cup.

 

who's being a moral authority here dviss? I didn't bother to read past page 2....you can be extremely defensive if anybody questions your opinion ...I rarely do but whatever...you can be tired of me and call my opinions shit....I didn't disrespect your opinion like that though I did say it showed insensitivity given the circumstance...nor did I allude to you being illiterate which you did posting dictionary definitions...I misread your post...as I've said...it was late and I'd had 10 heart pills throughout the day...my mistake.

 

That's fine.

 

So ANYWAY....... John McCain was great American. You may think he was an Imperfect politician, but his sacrifice to our great country was grand.
