Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Bitter, petty and mean until his dying breath. – John McCain is settling old grudges in his final days, telling friends (who then leaked it all to the New York Times) that a) he wants Mike Pence to come to his funeral, but not President Trump, b) he wants Barack Obama to deliver a eulogy at his funeral, and c) he regrets choosing Sarah Palin to be his running mate in 2008. Anyone surprised by any of this hasn’t been paying much attention to John McCain’s behavior over the last four decades.
Bitter, mendacious, and disloyal to the bitter end. – Meanwhile, John Kerry, 2004’s failed candidate for President and the failed Secretary of State who helped Barack Obama sell out America and Israel in the horrible executive agreement with Iran, was revealed to have spent the past week in what loving liberals in the fake news media call “shadow diplomacy” and what any thinking person calls violations of the Logan Act. Kerry has been running all over the place, meeting with officials from Iran and other countries in a desperate effort to salvage his pathetic, un-American legacy.
The Logan Act, of course, is an antiquated law that prevents private U.S. citizens from interfering with the foreign policy of the sitting president and his administration. The law dates to the 18th century, and has never been enforced – if it had been, then people like Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Jesse Jackson would all be serving time in Leavenworth right now.
So what’s the point here? Well, if you remember the 10 days during which Obama minion Sally Yates served as acting Attorney General, she actually wanted to prosecute a genuine American hero, General Mike Flynn, for Logan Act violations because he was making introductory phone calls to leaders of other countries during the presidential transition, something every presidential transition team has done since the invention of the freaking telephone. Every liberal talking head on CNN and MSNBC cheered Yates’s effort.
Trust me, you’re not going to see Sally Yates or any other liberal talking head advocating the charging of John Kerry with violations of the Logan Act for his latest acts of mendacity against our country. Because liberal outrage is purely transactional.
Are we sure Robert Mueller is even qualified for his job? – Our jack-booted Special Counsel and his band of Clinton/Obama thugs suffered a second consecutive very bad day in court on Saturday, as yet another federal judge ruled against them, this time in a request for a trial delay.
Remember back on a Friday in February, when the very oily Rod Rosenstein held a hasty press conference to breathlessly announce that Mueller was issuing hilariously bogus indictments of 13 Russian defendants for conducting “social media warfare” on the U.S. during the 2016 campaign? Remember how we speculated at the time that this was all done purely for show, an effort to influence public opinion, but safe in the belief that they’d never have to try to prove their goofy case in court because none of these defendants would ever show up for trial?
Yeah, that didn’t exactly work out for Rosenstein and Mueller. See, one of the Russian defendants, a company called Concord Management, decided to show up and defend itself, pleading not guilty to all charges. Hey, that’s not how this was all supposed to work, was it?
Suddenly, Mueller and his thugs find themselves in the uncomfortable position of having to demonstrate how 13 defendants somehow tilted a national election in a nation of 315 million people in favor of Donald Trump essentially by creating a bunch of fake accounts to send out messages on Twitter and Facebook on a total expenditure of a few million dollars. That’s going to be sort of tough to prove, especially given that the messaging sent out from those fake accounts was both anti-Clinton and anti-Trump.
So the Mueller/Rosenstein strategy here was to delay, and they filed a delay request with the judge in the case, Trump appointee Dabney Friedrich, citing questions about whether or not Concord had ever been properly served in the case, a novel claim coming as it does from the prosecution. The lawyers for Concord opposed the delay, saying the question of proper service is irrelevant and they are ready to go, and their client has a right to a speedy trial under the Constitution.
The lawyers hilariously said that “the briefing sought by the Special Counsel’s motion is pettifoggery,” and said that Mueller and his team of thugs are not entitled to their own “special rules.”
Unlike any Obama appointee, Judge Friedrich has actually read the Constitution, and thus agreed with the defense. So, either we will soon get to see the spectacle of how Mueller’s evil minions try to prove such obviously fake charges, Mueller will decide to dismiss the case against Concord, or he and his minions will try to get their delay by appealing up the chain of courts.
I’m betting on the latter, but it sure would be fun to see this sham go to trial.
Just another day in the conspiracy to take down President Trump is falling apart America.
That is all.

Is a pity. One would pray he would leave with dignity. Sad.....
This recollection of his POW experience is what gained the public admiration for him. Not considered was the likelihood of PTSD in his beliefs and behavior. Voters looked at his service and sacrifice; rewarding him with the position of Senator. He has often confused that gratitude with permission to be a tyrant. We, however, should not hurl hate around; it diminishes us, not his policies.

Shows what a little man he is.....I won’t miss him!!!!
I wasn’t in the mood to forgive McCain before, but now I’m sure that I will make it my life’s mission to soil his worthless memory at every opportunity. Palin the wrong decision? Only for HER, and no other American.
For later reference
Compared to obama, McCain seemed like a rock ribbed conservative. Palin took the right path…it was McCain who didn’t.
McCain’s behavior over the last 40 years speaks a lot louder than anything anyone else can say about him.
One need only contrast the amazing loyalty Palin has shown these last ten years with McCain’s latest actions.
I still vividly recall a joint interview of Sarah & McStain on CBS, I think, shortly after RNC convention.
They were sitting next to each other, McStain had his arms crossed and looked angry.
Sarah’s body language spoke volumes as she knew the fix was in and McStain was the designated loser to the Kenyan...and eventually she went rogue.
A real Manchurian candidate—BIGLY!!
Served his NVA masters well, by SINGLE-HANDEDLY halting all efforts to get back the two-thirds of the POWs STILL HELD there.
Continues to screw up the USA with more illegals, and any other way he can serve his enemy masters.
Some “War Hero”.
Freepers in Ohio need to remember that Mike Dewine was McCain’s butt boy during his Senate term despite his ads stating that he’s the conservative choice for Governor. I plan to reluctantly vote for Mary Taylor as she is an unknown and she is John Kasich’s Lieutenant Governor so it’s not the best choice. But we all know that Dewine runs right to get in office then decides to “grow” once he gets elected and he has yet to deliver on the Pike county murders despite his run to the cameras to tell us he’s on the case.
citing questions about whether or not Concord had ever been properly served in the case, a novel claim coming as it does from the prosecution.
Surely Palin won’t be invited to the funeral. If she is .... Talk about hypocracy. And surely she won’t go.
Talk about a bitter little man. A nominee for the presidency doesn’t have his running mate or the sitting president at his funeral.
There is no PTSD involved. McStain started his life as an eff up and that's how he's going to end it.
Palin was set up from day one. McPain only ran to promote Obama. The minute he said we didn’t have to be afraid of Soetoro, my stomach turned and I finally saw how much evil was in D.C.
Did you see Judge Jeanine yesterday? She devoted her show to evil Mueller. She was, as always, brilliant.
Now, now. McCain IS a war hero
He is one of the few Cold War (russian) aces for getting shot down, crashing, burning up, ejecting from and destroying
Five US Macy planes!
They get away with it because the pubbies are simply too spineless to try and stop them.
Maybe the best article yet from this DB blog. Good points, good writing, great headline.
Where is McLame’s list of accomplishments post skating through the Keating skullduggery?
