Everyone who counts was there. There was unity. There were tears. There was laughter. It was a sendoff befitting a president attended by past presidents, government officials past and present, and many, many others from every walk of life.
Cindy McCain stood with the grace, composure, and strength that we saw from Jackie Kennedy until a brief moment during Danny Boy.
Meghan McCain spoke like an American storm, and despite comments she has made about Hillary Clinton, Hillary appeared to be smiling in encouragement and pride in Meghan’s power.
All of the music was beautiful including a very unusual rendition of Amazing Grace partially accompanied by bagpipes.
It was a celebration of more than John McCain. It was a celebration of the country he fought for in many different roles in his life.
I could be wrong, but that looks like Tricia Nixon behind Dick Cheney.

I do hope it was the grief and stress of watching her beloved father die a slow, painful death from brain cancer that caused Megan McCain to say hateful things about Hillary. I lost my own father to a prolonged, difficult death and know first hand how wrenching this can be. I am sure Hillary would understand, and she never holds grudges. Perhaps an apology will be given at some point. I hope so.
On another note, it was a relief that as far as I could see, none of the performers or speakers at today’s service was groped by a lecherous bishop after being demeaned as “a new something at Taco Bell.” Ariana Grande is owed a BIG apology after being sexually assaulted on live tv. People who insist this kind of thing is grossly exaggerated should consider how openly this creeper did his creepy business–even as his victim tried to twist away. And, no, it’s irrelevant what she was wearing.

I don’t think Hillary was very disturbed by Meghan’s remarks. Hillary and Cindy have a history together. Cindy has been on the board of Hillary’s Too Small to Fail since 2013.
I didn’t see the Ariana Grande incident. I guess it’s not just the Catholics.

It’s strange how little notice this disgusting incident got from MSM. Or maybe it’s not strange at all. It was so blatant!
It’s certainly not just Catholics, but the Church is so big it overshadows a lot of other offenders. And it creates an attractive environment for pedophiles and other creeps. Ftr, I am “recovering Catholic” with 16 years of Catholic education.

I suspect Cindy McCain voted for Hillary. She wore all white on election day.
