Isn’t “cal” the Russian word for “Number 2”? I seem to recall it being the Nadsat term for same.

we depend on Trump to point out the snakes. i think he tried rapprochement, burying the hatchet by giving the family the accoutrements of a state funeral, only to be insulted by Megan and not invited. i get his upset.

“Cal, you are dead wrong. You have to bully a bully.”

Spot on. Even after McCain’s death, at his funeral Meghan McCain during her eulogy continued the attack on Trump. And even though Trump generously signed off on a state funeral more in line of what should be granted for a president he got zero thanks from the McCains; just a continuation of degrading and contemptuous attacks. Concerning Trumps comments about McCain; he’s now a historical public figure. So, Fat Girl Meghan had better cinch up her girdle and get used to objective and negative reviews of Her father. History can be harsh....

I love how journalists refuse to believe that the president of the US has access to information that journalists do not have. So they say he “claims” something. No, he “knows” something. It makes even the likes of Cal Thomas sound stupid.

Trump accuses McCain of being complicit in the leak of the Steele dossier, a private intelligence report compiled by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele for the political research firm Fusion GPS, which, among other things, alleges that in Moscow Donald Trump booked ” … the presidential suite of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, where he knew President and Michelle Obama (whom he hated) had stayed on one of their official trips to Russia,” and, while in the company of prostitutes, defiled the bed.

Trump doesn't accuse McCain, unsealed court documents proved this as a fact.

But... but... but we must LOVE our enemies!

Wait. Lemme think. Ummm.... nah. I hate my enemies. I’m glad when they’re dead (like McCain) and even happier to think they’re burning in hell somewhere (like McCain).

Another fricking 90s establishment conservative still pining away for another Bush to come along so they can play like they are tough guys next to him.

Will these wussy church boys just retire already!

Tell it like it is is better.
I like a president who can give honest answers and not just what sounds good.

Why do pundits and politicians insist that we accept bogus images of transparent scoundrels like McCain. We don’t need to slander McCain, but we must be honest about his actions during his public career. He was, in fact, a bitter, vindictive, duplicitous and petty man. I appreciate his service in the Navy (such as it was), but heartily disrespect his disrespectable behavior in government.

“The president referred to McCain as “last in his class at Annapolis.” This was too much for McCain’s daughter, Meghan, who said on “The View” that the president is leading “a pathetic life,” adding, “He spends his weekend obsessing over great men, because he knows it, and I know it, and all of you know it, he will never be a great man.””

Look in the dictionary under “cognitive dissonance” and this is what’s there.

Cal’s a good man but he’s emphatically wrong on this one.

I gave McCain the benefit of the doubt for years. Only during Trump’s presidency did I finally see that McCain’s dominant personality trait was vindictiveness.

will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic

McCain was an enemy of the domestic sort, a loser, and a crook (google keating five). As far as I'm concerned songbird should have dropped dead decades ago.
