"John McCain."

It seems as though the outpouring of eulogies for John McCain is secretly driven by –– what else ––animus towards Trump. They're saying what a great American McCain was as though every word is an awful insult to Trump. Every kind word is a nail in Trump's coffin –– or at least in his leg.

People love the double-whammy of appearing to be respectful and grieving when also getting to shaft the Pres.

By the way I still can't believe that Donald Trump is the President of the United States.

People want to say, "Trump killed McCain! There, I said what everyone else is thinking, I said it aloud! It was Trump that killed him!"

I felt it too when Aretha Franklin died. It was all the CNN pundits could do not to say, "Fuckin' Trump!"

In other news they say that Doug Cowie has officially applied to have the address of his flat in Archway changed to "The London Think Tank and Archive for John McCain Studies." It is unknown whether the Royal Mail will comply with this nonsensical but obviously heartfelt request.
