        Barbara Bush didn't want #Trump at her funeral, @SenJohn McCain did not want him at his funeral, and I suspect @ArethaFranklin and @KofiAnnan do not want him at their funerals, either. I certainly don't want him at mine. He is a disrespectful person. #PrayForPeace #WorldPeace

        I’m a Democrat but I admired Senator McCain’s true loyalty and patriotism. When he defended President Obama it should what a class act he was. What a man!! If only our current Scumbag in the White House had 1/4 of the class that this man had. R.I.P Senator.

        And being from Canada you care about this...why exactly? I hate when people who don’t live in the US chime in on stuff that has no bearing on them. Go be glamorous up in Canada sweetheart; we have zero interest in your uninformed opinions.

        Maybe it's because the crazy policies of your country has a global impact and we are forced to "chime in". I'd love to live in a world where the US doesn't try and drag in Canada into needless conflicts

        You could work to make Canado more relevant and impactful. But then you'd have to have actual responsibility instead of your gov't doing everything for you. You worry about your own shit, stay out of ours.

        So @findingcorio the death of one of our senators has an impact on Canada? Jesus you’re even more delusional than I thought when I first read your tweet. Go home, crack open a civics book & think about how ridiculous your charge that the US drags Canada into anything, really is.
