Looking forward to hearing what Gorka will say on Hannity on Monday night. He seemed distrubed in his resignation letter. He wants to join Bannon and take on Trump critics.

McCain, Clinton, Warren, Sanders, all these old incapacitated politicians. You have plane tickets awaiting for the Island of Misfit Toys.

That’s quite enough. I campaigned for this loser. Let me say it. Let me channel Harry Truman. The son-of-a-bitch is no good!

Of course Songbird was equally opposed to pardoning Bradley Manning and Bowe Bergdahl.

25 Aug: MiamiNewTimes: South Florida Judge Dismisses DNC Fraud Lawsuit Against Debbie Wasserman Schultz
by Jerry Iannelli
Today, federal Judge William Zloch dismissed the suit, stating in a judicial order that — even assuming the allegations are true — it’s impossible to test any “fraud” claims against the DNC in federal court. Zloch wrote that the Becks and their plaintiffs claimed the DNC leak proved Wasserman Schultz’s conduct hurt DNC donors, especially those who donated to Sanders, and possibly exposed DNC donors to identity theft by getting hacked.
“The Court must now decide whether Plaintiffs have suffered a concrete injury particularized to them, or one certainly impending, that is traceable to the DNC and its former chair’s conduct——the keys to entering federal court,” Zloch wrote. “The Court holds that they have not, which means the truth of their claims cannot be tested in this Court.”...

Don’t recall seeing this handwringing when Obama pardoned actual drug traffickers and traitors. But what do I know.

A judge orders an officer of the law to stop enforcing the law, the officer of the law decides to go ahead and do the job he's supposed to do, picks up a contempt of court charge, and quite rightly gets a pardon. And, of course, John McCain is there to side with the judge who would prefer lawlessness.

McCain is part of the RINO sleeper cell in the senate. Now that the cell has been activated and exposed, it should be rejected from further participation in governance.

NO, McVain was just as awful before the tumor. Cancer has nothing to do with this. It is the RINO CINO in full stampede.

The best thing that President Trump can do for John McVain is to ensure that his “legacy” will be almost completely erased and forgotten as quickly as possible. Sorry, John, your “legacy” will be nothing but the foul memory of your RINO CINO ineptitude.

I thought he had brain cancer? Is this guy still in office and making decisions? I’m not a doctor but I would assume the disease has some adverse affects on the brain.

It’s gotta be the tumor talking.

McCain is a tumor.
