Deep state ruling class circle jerk all saying we are the best people and the rubes are too stupid to know it.
Will someone please flush the toilet, it’s really starting to smell bad.

It made it very clear that they will do anything to keep power. It's like the Roy Moore situation. They'll lose elections rather than let candidates win who aren't part of the Deep State.
Is there any doubt that they want to lose the HOR and US Senate, but with keeping their traitors in office?
Glad that stinking underwear skid has checked out.
Huma Abedin & Lindsey Graham share a warm embrace at McCain funeral.

What if Jeremiah “God Damn America” Wright had attended? Bet this woman and other Media Party spokespeople would still talk about McCain being a uniter.
Shouldn’t the first wife, who waited for him, do any honors with regard to Viet Nam?
He died? Has it been mentioned at all on the news yet?
They are not done with McCain yet. They are going to dig him up every year and plant him in different cemeteries so other deceased veterans can have the honor of being buried next to the old POS.
Did you know that McCain served in Vietnam?
Projection
McCain: Brought people together, brought respect
Unmitigated Bullshit!
Maybe this was an SNL skit?
I think he spent his life trying to undo the fact that a tape of him “confessing” was played on the loudspeakers at the Hanoi Hilton and his unending shame and fear of his father’s opinion.
So what did he do? Did he help those he was positioned to help the most because of their shared experiences? No, he tried to hide their existence. He denied them help he was in a position to see was provided. And he tried to make himself appear to be a great man to offset his internal shame.
I think it’s understandable and forgivable that he broke under torture - but his actions when he came back are not forgivable. He was a crooked bitter old man who couldn’t overcome his shame and made others pay for this.
Goodby McNasty. President Trump is doing way more for veterans than you ever did.
This must be a comic book article.
For all those who thought John McCain was so wonderful!
A “war hero” doesn’t finish 894th out of 899 and still get stationed at a Navy champagne unit and promoted ahead of all but two of his 898 other classmates.
A “war hero” doesn’t crash three U.S. Navy jets out of sheer incompetence and ineptitude, including two during non-combat training sessions.
A “war hero” doesn’t get written up on drunk-and-disorderly, fraternization, disobeying orders, and insubordination charges more than two dozen times in less than three years.
A “war hero” doesn’t get promoted to squadron commander of the airfield named after his own grandfather immediately after crashing his third airplane. A “war hero” doesn’t have all the military records that cover his time in Vietnam and all disciplinary actions against him censored and sealed “as a matter of national security.” A “war hero” doesn’t get 28 medals awarded all after-the-fact “for bravery” for no other reason than being shot down and captured and then go on a celebrity public relations tour because he’s the son of two acclaimed Navy admirals. A “war hero” doesn’t repeatedly cheat on the wife who’s back in the states waiting for him, and then cheat on her more when he returns to the states, and then divorce and abandon her.
A “war hero” doesn’t systematically vote against every single pay and benefits increase for military and veterans throughout his entire political career, all the while claiming to be “the soldier’s Congressman,” and then take credit for the passage of a G.I. benefits bill he that voted AGAINST. A “war hero” McCain III lost jet number one in 1958 when he plunged into Corpus Christi Bay while practicing landings. He was knocked unconscious by the impact coming to as the plane settled to the bottom. McCain’s second crash occurred while he was deployed in the Mediterranean. “Flying too low over the Iberian Peninsula,” Timberg wrote, “he took out some power lines [reminiscent of the 1998 incident in which a Marine Corps jet sliced through the cables of a gondola at an Italian ski resort, killing 20] which led to a spate of newspaper stories in which he was predictably identified as the son of an admiral.”
McCain’s third crash three occurred when he was returning from flying a Navy trainer solo to Philadelphia for an Army-Navy football game. Timberg reported that McCain radioed, “I’ve got a flameout” and went through standard relight procedures three times before ejecting at one thousand feet. McCain landed on a deserted beach moments before the plane slammed into a clump of trees. McCain’s fifth loss happened during his 23rd mission over North Vietnam on Oct. 26, 1967, when McCain’s A-4 Skyhawk was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. McCain ejected from the plane breaking both arms and a leg in the process and subsequently parachuted into Truc Bach Lake near Hanoi. For 23 combat missions (an estimated 20 hours over enemy territory), the U.S. Navy awarded McCain a Silver Star, a Legion of Merit for Valor, a Distinguished Flying Cross, three Bronze Stars, two Commendation medals plus two Purple Hearts and a dozen service medals. “McCain had roughly 20 hours in combat,” explains Bill Bell, a veteran of Vietnam and former chief of the U.S. Office for POW/MIA Affairs — the first official U.S. representative in Vietnam since the 1973 fall of Saigon. “Since McCain got 28 medals,” Bell continues, “that equals out to about a medal-and-a-half for each hour he spent in combat. There were infantry guys — grunts on the ground — who had more than 7,000 hours in combat and I can tell you that there were times and situations where I’m sure a prison cell would have looked pretty good to them by comparison.”
May we be done with the no-name threads yet?
I wasn’t at the circus/funeral/Trump-Hate Rally, and I didn’t watch any of it? What did I miss?
