Donnie can't say he is not there because John hated Trumps.

He is not there because of his own horrible character flaws.

This might be a good Personal sting.



I could see John saying don't punish the daughter for the actions of the father.

In the spirit of John McCain, I doubt that his family would have been so mean-spirited and classless as to make a big stink about it. And we don't know. Perhaps they asked permission before coming? Who knows? Maybe all the speeches and eulogies will inspire them to become better people? The speeches are inspiring me to be a better, kinder person. How about you?

,,,when he suddenly choked on a hairball he digested, and... died.

The funeral home director keeping his body told the entourage he could offer them two options: considering all Donnie has done for Israel they could offer a state funeral and resting place in Jerusalem for free, or thry could organize transport back to the US for a mere $300,000.

The entourage huddled for few minutes, then returned with a unaminous verdict: transport back for $300,000.

The funeral director was set back: "I thought the state funeral in Jerusalem was the nicer option," "Yes, it sounded nice," answered one in the entourage, "but a couple of thousand years ago you had someone here return from the dead, and we simply can't risk that..."

To face their criminal indictments. McCain will be smiling down on them and trump when they get their awakening from what all they've done. These people are so arrogant , and act so entitled to do as they please it will be a real celebration seeing these two getting their just due. Its coming for them , and karma won't be nice for either one of them. The McCain family are probably seething mad at these two for showing up.
