This Peter Alkaly guy lives in Scarsdale NY and wrote a “letter to the editor” which then the NY Slimes published. No Name doesn’t deserve the respect they heap on him. He is a petty, self serving loser. A lot of his fellow Viet Nam prisoners believe he was a “singing bird” during captivity.

After No Name made his thumbs down vote on repeal of Obamacare, he can kiss my keister.

President Trump’s refusal to mention John McCain’s name as he was pontificating about the new military spending bill for 28 minutes reveals the inner Trump in a stark way.

I do not think that President Trump refused to mention John McCain's name; there was no reason to mention it. The bill passed and is recorded for history as McCain's military spending bill. Why should McCain be mentioned? He may not have had much to do with it because of his ill health.

The bill may be influenced more by the Trump administration policies than by McCain's wishful thinking. The Pentagon budget office and the Joint Chiefs of Staff are the principal actors in the development of our DoD budget.

The mainstream media are not the enemy of the people are they?

“How do you think McCain would have reacted had Donald Trump dispatched an aide to fly to England to obtain dirt on McCain from a foreign spy...”

Your mistake is that you are using logic, which is symptomatic of white privilege, and thereby revealing you to be a racist pig.

McCain has been holding that Senate Seat hostage for about a year now

Right you are, McCain snubbed Arizona voters and collects a check when he doesn’t do any job for his people for a whole year.

There should be a rule that if your incapacitated for 6 months or longer and absent from elective office you must resign so Your State Governor can replace you.

McStain is a traitor who helped promote the Dossier in an attempt to take down Trump.

Rot in hell, McStain.

He who’s name shall not be mentioned was a crappy Navy pilot, one of the worst of all time whom should not have been in the cockpit of a fighter aircraft. I’ve been told by several former Navy pilots that ——— might have been a barely proficient prop plane pilot, and was not really jet jockey material, except for the fact that his daddy was CINCPACFLT. I also have been told that ——— still holds the record for destroyed aircraft during training, and its said to be a record which will never be broken.

“...immaturity, insecurity, fear of competition, vindictiveness and delusional sense of self-importance. He is the quintessential petulant child.”

Some NYT 10kw projection there by writer Alkalay, eh? LOL!

Trump gave traitorous, cheating McCain all the national credit he was due: None. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

Same newspaper ran a bogus story of John McCain having an affair with a lobbyist right around the time McCain accepted the 2008 Republican Presidential nomination.

Pardon me if I don’t believe them now.

This is not news which is why the Slimes has run with it. Not even close to relevant given the true scale of evil playing out daily that the Slimes refuses to accurately cover. I’m supposed to care that the senator who passed around a phony document in order to undermine the sitting President has his feelings hurt? We have judges letting out jihadis that have kidnapped and killed a 3 year old because she felt they aren’t a danger. I’m certain the Slimes will psychoanalyze the poor jihadis in an effort to rehabilitate their images. If McCain was still a hero, he would have stepped down a year ago to allow others to step forward and represent his state.

The hard left sure does love them some McCain! And well they should. He devoted his entire career to them. John “The Traitor” McCain. May he reap what he deserves for eternity.

“According to social media he’s a graduate of Columbia Law School...”

So, the writer attended Marxism USA HQ. Any alumni of Columbia University must be held in suspicion. Search on “The Frankfurt School” for background.

Traitor McCain broke the law in seeking the help of a foreign spy in order to damage Trump’s candidacy and the President is just supposed to act like it didn’t happen? If justice were served, McCain would be prosecuted for treason and spend the last of his miserable days behind bars.
