Yeah and it’s sad because whip they are funny, they are true. That’s the guy who Jesus was supposed to have come and taken to heaven. His ego was so massive that he remained a petty snatch until he died. Such a petty little disgusting work of a man. We are better off that he is dead and on the stainless slab.

A History of John McCain’s Calls for War
A History of John McCain's Calls for War Around the World


"Washington (GPA) – Earlier this week notorious war hawk US Senator John McCain (R-Az) was diagnosed with brain cancer. While the liberal and conservative establishments are sending their regards, Geopolitics Alert instead compiled a list of reasons why we don’t care about McCain.


The list is, of course, a history of all the instances McCain has called for US-led intervention around the world. There’s clearly a long history here, so Geopolitics Alert has compiled the most blatant examples from Europe to Asia. We’ll start with the obvious wars first. . . "


Afghanistan and Iraq

Syria

Libya

West and Central Africa

Iran

Bosnia and Kosovo

Ukraine

Russia

North Korea

Bonus: China

I've seen a few that are false, but over all they are true.

And let’s not forget to remind people that everyone crying for McTumor are crying crocodile tears. Remember when dubya hit him?


The Trashing of John McCain



Simultaneously stumping for Bush and defending Kerry against attacks by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, John McCain must be haunted by the vicious South Carolina smear campaign (he was crazy, a traitor, he fathered a black child) that helped Bush win the 2000 Republican nomination. Has McCain joined the team that engineered his destruction?



Dirty Tricks, South Carolina and John McCain


Dirty Tricks, South Carolina and John McCain
Undone in South Carolina by the Bush campaign's dirty tricks in 2000, John McCain now turns to the man who smeared him.

But now dubya misses him?

Yes, under 4 U.S.C. The flag is to be lowered a minimum of two days for members of Congress, but as President Barack Obama did for Ted Kennedy, they can be ordered lowered longer for people like McCain whose service to this nation went above and beyond. Bush and Obama would have ordered it.

As much as I'd prefer to be covered in honey and staked out to an anthill than ever agree with Seabiscuit here about anything, I have to say that it would have cost Trump nothing to be gracious to McCain upon his death, and his repeated inabilities to do so make him look like a small, petty little man. And the more his supporters try to defend and justify this unnecessary vindictiveness, the worse he looks.

It would have been extremely hypocritical of Trump to show McCain any deference. I'm sure democrats had all the "he's a hypocrite " memos distributed including footnotes describing how Trump better not go to the funeral just because of the flag.

The way it turned out was perfect. The crybabies got an empty gesture. They were made to realize that it was as empty as their little heads.

McCain left a message in which he again advocated open borders. His evil lives after him. After hearing that message, I can only agree with Trump more than ever.

McCain NEVER advocated open borders...you are just parroting a GOP talking point.

Advocating doing nothing about having a southern border and giving amnesty to anyone who crosses is advocating open borders, moron. Just like you still do

For you or McCain?

McCain should have resigned when he was diagnosed. Instead he hung on specifically to oppose the President. I can't say his memory is getting any thing more than what he is getting.

I don't think it was about Trump. The guy was always a spotlight whore. He wasn't capable of leaving any way but feet first, just like he did. Ginsberg is going to follow the same path

Well, let's be honest. Trump ain't exactly shy and retiring himself. Most politicians have a streak of narcissism in them.

Yes, as someone who actually lives in McCain's state, I was one of the first around here to say that he should have stepped down instead of clinging to his seat and depriving Arizona of full representation in the Senate. And don't even talk to me about his wife replacing him out of sentiment.

All that being said, AND keeping in mind that I disagreed with McCain politically quite often, AND that I didn't like the guy personally . . .

Trump was still wrong. And petty. And childish. And vindictive. For no reason whatsoever than his massive, hypersensitive ego, and at the cost of disgusting a good chunk of people who are neither far-left lunatics nor fanatical Trump supporters, but whose votes Trump needs on his side come November.

Trump was 100% wrong, both in terms of decent, civilized behavior and politically. And there is no amount of airy dismissal that's going to make it any less true.

Trump should have lowered the flag, I never argued otherwise

I just wish to God SOMEONE had his attention enough AND the stones to tell him when he's showing his ass in public. McCain's DEAD, for God's sake. That means you WON. You outlasted him.

Not only is all this unnecessary drama exhausting, it is the opposite of helpful when it comes to what really matters, which is holding onto the ability to keep implementing good policies.

I've been in management my whole career. I've always had to take the high road. I'd have not thought beyond half a second to just lower the flag and I'd have gone out and given a positive but vague statement about his life and that he fought for his own values.

But on the other hand, I don't really care. This is a pittance of what the two parties do to each other and their enemies. There is so much more in DC to be outraged about.

For example, Democrats right now are trying to invalidate and if possible overturn an election because the don't like the outcome. Democrats have fabricated an entire scenario that Trump is a racist by flat out misquoting and lying about what he's said. They're arguing the Russians picked the winner and own Trump.

I would have just lowered the flag in the first place, but I'm glad we FINALLY have a Republican fighting back against the malignant left and the useless establishment Republicans who endlessly undercut any Republican who tries to fight back even if he doesn't know when to stop

Yeah, AFTER making a big show of being unnecessarily disrespectful in the eyes of far too many voters. Contrary to the opinions of the political addicts on both sides of the aisle, the nation isn't just pro-Trump and anti-Trump. There are a whole bunch of people in the middle who don't pay a great deal of attention to politics generally, whose votes we need. And in their eyes, Trump came off very badly, and there's no amount of excuse-making that's going to change that.

I, for one, do NOT want to live with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, or any of the rest of her noxious brigade, in charge after November. And if that happens, there's no amount of "Well, well, well, Trump was TECHNICALLY correct!" that's gonna make up for it.

The people who hate Trump still hate him, the people who don't hate Trump still don't. In the scheme of things, this makes no difference than Trump using the wrong fork to eat his salad.

Frankly the leftist media going on about this is less of a deal than what they would be going on about had Trump not done it. They'd be screaming about Cohen and fabricated felonies

 

[mudwhistle]

First, our Progressive friends were apoplectic that the White House Flag wasn't lowered to honor Juan McCain, then, finding out they got self-pwned, they're double shot of apoplectic that it was only lowered for 48 hours.

What's the magical correct flag lowered time to get Progressive sane again?

Multi choice available.

I think Trump should treat John McCain the way McCain treated Trump.
