Senator John McCain, planning his funeral, requests that Trump not attend

My feelings on McCain are mixed. He never hesitated to voice his "concern" over overtly inappropriate, unethical, or even illegal actions performed by his party leadership, but he almost always toed the party line when it came time to put that "concern" to a vote. He certainly has more integrity than the likes of McConnell, Ryan, Nunes, Rubio, Cruz, etc, but his actions and voting record didn't support his statements nearly so clearly enough for me to applaud him as a hero of the Senate and a paragon of modern congress. At best, I'd say he was an icon of a more stable time -- when the GOP would still push harmful policy, but was at least civil about it.
Just found out I'm not invited to "crazy" John McCain's funeral! Sad! Will be a very small and weak service, with a weak coffin! Bad! Not like my funeral, where my body will exploded into space and my brain transplanted into Bannon's body.
Witch hunt!

This legit sounds like a mom who forces you to invite that one shithead kid to your birthday so he wont feel left out.
Get fucked Orrin, let the man be buried the way he wants.
you know your political group is rancid dog shit when you take a dying man's wish personally.
Trump just tweeted

"Uhhhh actually never mind, pretend you didn't hear that, John."
You'd think the longest-serving active Senator would be more sensitive about funerals, as it can't be many years before his own.
Iirc, McCain voted to discuss repeal of the ACA because of how the party was trying to hamfist it through and bypass Congress procedure? His "no" vote stopped their desperate attempt because he wanted to do things by the books.
I respect his belief in doing things the civil way, but it's very vague indeed to say whether he stopped it from being repealed.
