Meghan McCain: "Both Sides" Wannabe Tough Chick

[deirdra]

Gotta love how MEghan obliterated her mother's name with flowers & flags so that the gravesite grief-fest would just be between Daddy and her (I had to go to a Navy site to see the full headstone).

I’m still debating whether I’ll watch again. I haven’t actually tuned in at 11am like I used to since the show where Joy told us to watch The Talk instead. I think I’ll look at what’s said here before I make a decision. 🤣

I have a feeling nothing will be different though. 

She was making a joke about watching The Talk, which Meghan needs to be given. Joy can watch them talking to Meg about her behavior.

Megan has literally thrown herself on her father's grave, had someone take a picture of this and posted the picture on line.  All righty then, I guess she has won the who is grieving daddy the most contest in the Mccain family.  I know people visit the graves of their loved ones but to post it on Instagram as a way to gain publicity is beyond sick.  Meghan is so disrespectful of her family (who are also grieving) and of her father's memory.  I have a feeling Jack Daniels may have factored into this visit to her father's grave.

LOL - she said she was going stay off social media until "his birthday after the 29th." I knew she couldn't do it.

Meghan is participating in grief porn. it's not healthy and it makes her look ridiculous.  She is entitled to grieve for her father.  But this display is so far beyond that.  At some point in the past year (or maybe from the day he died) her mourning stopped being about her dad and became about Meghan.  She has no self identity outside of being John McCain's daughter so since his death she has become John McCain's grieving daughter.  His other children have managed to form their own identities and have lives that don't revolve around being his child.

Taking a break from social media Meghan? Oh, break's over.

Yes, I noticed she blocked her mothers name, but maybe because cindy is still living? 

But overall, the photo SCREAMS, "look at me! I'm GRIEVING!" So my question is, who took that photo? And, How many photos were taken before choosing the best one that showed her, and the headstone and displays? Did she spend time arranging everything perfectly, to make sure the flags and the cacti were shown to their best advantage? 

[TV Diva Queen]

That photo shoot is disgusting!  God I hate her......

[atlantaloves]

Ditto, me too, in fact, me three. Grief porn is right on the money gals and guys!

I just realized her sister is named after their father. I bet Meghan absolutely hates that.

Her father is buried at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD.  I'm curious as to when she posed for this grief stricken daughter picture.  It is beyond morbid to pose for a picture kneeling at the gravestone of your parent. I could understand her posting a photo of the gravestone without inserting herself into it, but, once again, she never fails to make everything all about her.  My guess is  it was taken awhile ago and held in abeyance to post when she figured she'd get the most attention.

If it was taken this week, she sure as hell didn't spend much time in AZ.  All very strange for someone who supposedly loves her home state so much.

Yes, absolutely staged. Right down to the baby cacti. (GMAB) I assume her ride or die took the photo(s). I will say she could have at least combed/washed/fixed her hair so there was a decent head shot.

^ No joke. It's all about her. She couldn't go back to AZ because it would be too hard on her. Nevermind that her mother may have needed the support; she's the one living in their home surrounded by his things and memories. I can only hope that Cindy's other children were there for her to lean on.

Isn't Meghan's grandmother still alive?  She's 105 or something.  Meghan never mentions how hard it must have been for her to lose her child.

MeAgain is back like five minutes and manages to make another idiotic narcissist's story about her.

And the backlash in the comments is awesome. I have a feeling her ratio on this one is not good.

We all know Meghan is pissed that  both her dad's  birthday and the anniversary of his death happened during the show's break.  When the show comes back tomorrow I bet she mentions it in the first 5 minutes.

I hope this will be the end of her constant public grief.

It's glorious how she's being shredded 

[CynicalGirl]

Remember when she said only 2% of people do twitter? Yet there she is, bragging how she's trending on her very first day back at work.

She's got a real winning strategy too. Say something incredibly ignorant and tone deaf and  you'll get lots of attention!

She does not care.  This is her true self.

I think anyone can be a "Lifetime Member."  Isn't it just a matter of which membership you're willing to pay for?

Right now Lifetime Memberships cost $1,500 and they accept payments.  If you pay all at once, however, you can get this "brushed leather" NRA jacket (not available on the payment plan.

You know she produced the hell out of that photo op.  What shirt would look best with my hair this way while I sprawl across this grave?  Who actually is the real Meghan?  She seems like she has carefully cultivated this Conservative Gun Toting Millennial Barbie (I know I just called her Scowling Barbie, Mattel, do NOT get any ideas) identity and I am just not sure it is authentic.  I have a strong feeling that the bitchy part of her identity is real.   I also agree that she is most likely not close to Mother McCain.

I don't think Meghan is smart enough to pull it off on her own.  She has her husband and has hired a really good PR team.  I think they have been choreographing Meghan's every move.  Her husband is really riding her John Mccain's daughter coattails.  I would bet good money that he is the author of most of her little blue cards.  I believe/hope the team can only do so much before Meghan implodes.  Meghan is too emotional, entitled, uneducated and nasty to carry out their "game plan" for the five hours a week that she is on live tv.

It's VERY OBVIOUS here in the Phoenix area.  Much more coverage than when John McCain was alive (except when he was running for President).  Although... our paper has turned into a "social media" outlet.

Thanks for that link to what Virtue Signaling is, Tinkerbell.  Very interesting, and agree how dare she act like the others are being fake about their gun outrage.

I think that the show will keep her on for almost any of her offenses since she "makes sparks" and brings them publicity.  The only thing that could possibly get her ousted is if she keeps making comments like "there will be violence" if guns are taken away and people think she's using her platform to incite violence...then maybe they'll get rid of her?

This is from that MeghansMouth parody account. I'm surprised she didn't say it on air Tuesday. If she had I'm pretty sure it would have been mentioned here. 😄

• She can't handle the truth!  (Oops...semi-quoting "A Few Good Men")
• She couldn't handle an AK-15 and I doubt if she has one.
• It's possible she "owns" some and has an arsenal somewhere.
• I don't know about NYC, but if she has a permit* she can carry a concealed gun in Arizona any way she wants to conceal it.  She probably thinks she don't need no steenkin' permit because she's John McCain's daughter!  Also, we can "open carry" anywhere around here (not without some consequences, of course).

*I don't know NYC's laws.

It's an interesting concept, isn't it?  I was trying to figure out if I do it, and I guess I do, but I'm sincere.  Like if I say that I boycott Jimmy Johns, and give the reasons, I'm guilty of virtue signaling.  Or am I just opposed to big game hunting?  And by posting this, did I do it again?  😁

I didn't mean to sound snippy, lol. There are certain phrases that seem to originate at Fox that send me into stab land-for example- "nothingburger".    Whenever Meghan brags (God why?) that her husband "slid into her DMs", I get a bit queasy from the thought of the protoplasmy stickiness that must have resulted in her Twitter account.    I hated reading that article where Joy said Meghan was so hip with her phrases. No, she is hippy and her mouth is where trendy new phrases go to die.

"Virtue signaling" is usually aimed at people who say on social media that they care about things, but don't actually DO anything to support their cause.
