20. I cannot stand even hearing Bitch McConnell's voice anymore.

His constant, obsequious ass kissing of trmp's posterior end makes me want to barf. For him to stand there and praise McCain for values that McConnell (and Ryan and Pence) could never espouse, much less live, all the while they were doing everything they could to undermine McCain, attack and diminish him, doing trmp's dirty work, makes them complicit in the national dialogue trmp tried to force on us.

I still don't understand why Pence was even there. Clearly, the McCain family did not want him there and he was no defender of McCain's. Meghan's facial expressions left little to the imagination about her feelings. Even his Mum - gracious as she was - did not appreciate Pence either.

I even had mixed feelings about Lindsey Graham, who was once McCain's good friend, who did little in the way of standing up for him all the time that trmp was savaging him on a daily basis. As the saying goes, with friends like that . . .

I look forward to hearing Presidents Obama and Bush tomorrow. I'm sure they will eulogize John
