~snip~ “I will say if you take this kill shot, Democrats, you better not miss,” McCain declared. “You better hit his jugular. If there is a finger still moving at the end of it, you will ruin your chances in 2020 but you better do this well if you’re going to do it.” Almost immediately, co-host Whoopi Goldberg interjected, letting viewers know that McCain “doesn’t mean” that Democrats need to actually shoot the president. “I don’t mean literally!” McCain exclaimed. “I’m so sorry!” She continued: “Oh my God! I mean like a metaphorical. I’m a hunter and shooter

President Donald Trump insisted Thursday he had nothing to do with keeping the USS John S. McCain hidden from the site of his weekend speech in Japan.

John McCain. “The president’s actions have consequences,” McCain, one of the hosts of ABC’s “The View​,​” said at the start of the program. ​”​And when you repeatedly are attacking my father and war heroes, it creates a culture in the military where people are clearly fearful to show my father’s name in one way or another.

This seems particularly unhinged. The media is constantly buzzing about how President Trump is unstable, but McCain’s behavior seems a bit…unusual.

In these tense political times, there are both honorable antagonists and opportunistic ones, the latter of which seems to have permeated the entirety of the mainstream media. This was by design, in many ways, as these entertainers must entertain in order to maintain their value to their handlers. This is all driven by the plague-like consumerism and greed of the corporate world, and piped directly to screens in front of our faces 24/7, 365.

I often find myself having a weird perspective on things, coming to an understanding of issues by piecing together information obliquely, or by going “the long way ’round.” I suppose to some degree, that’s just the nature of the human experience – what, with having limited time and experience to draw from, you can only start to solve some of these puzzled from where you are. But it’s not lost to me how… particularly specific and tangential this lead-in will be.

The late Sen. John McCain's family plans to support former Vice President Joe Biden's White House bid, backing the Democrat not only in his party's crowded primary race but also in a general election matchup with President Trump, the Washington Examiner has learned.
