"John McCain knew what he was doing... He wanted a pageant of everything this administration* has trashed and put up for sale ... a morality play shot through with Shakespearian portent and foreshadowing, a pageant of democracy's vengeance."

"This was a funeral with more than one purpose—to celebrate the passing of John McCain and to summon a rebirth of politics that did not so much reek of grift and vodka."
Kudos to @esquire and @CharlesPPierce
And his obit is beautifully crafted, too

Excellent analysis of "FACT" and Whittaker from #TPM

Whitaker's op-ed was "highly critical of a candidate, and he ought not to be doing that, because it’s a political partisan comment."

Whittaker founded his Section 501c3 NFP in 2015.
talkingpointsmemo.com/news/whitaker-…
Section 501c3 tax code prohibits non-profits "from supporting or opposing political candidates during a campaign." But "FACT" under Whittaker did that more than once.
"in 2016 [Whitaker] earned more than twice what leaders of similar groups were paid on average that year"
Charity Navigator is our friend, not his.
His THREE-person board of directors that included just one unsalaried member.

Georgia's Republican Secretary of State/Gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp has a three-year history of ignoring elections security, which makes his Sunday accusation about the state Democratic Party even more suspect.

"Brian Kemp is both overseeing the governor’s election, as a secretary of state, and running in that election, as the Republican nominee. And he’s behaving shamefully."

Deconstructing Trump on Lee and Grant (image) - comments made at Ohio political rally
cnn.com/politics/live-…
FACT: Robert E. Lee was a slave owner who chose to lead a traitorous rebellion. He supported a war designed to keep humans enslaved via an economic and social system of white supremacy.
Trump’s Lost Cause frame on Robert E. Lee was not scripted, so this appears to be what Trump believes (or at least holds in his head)

.@realDonaldTrump is such a disgrace to what America stands for, John McCain banned him from his funeral. Everyone’s there—Presidents Obama, Bush, Clinton—now at the National Catherdral to honor a great American. Trump? In his safe place—watching FoxNews and tweeting propaganda.
John McCain's pallbearers – including Russian dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza, Democrat Russ Feingold, former VP Joe Biden, actor Warren Beatty, former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, William Cohen—stand in attendance at the late senator's memorial service at National Catherdral in DC
Meghan McCain went there, fiercely: “We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness—the real thing—not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly…nor opportunistic appropriation by those who lived lives of comfort and privilege
