McCain: Trump 'diminishing America’s leadership'
The Hill ^ | June 8, 2018 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 06/08/2018 11:31:17 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) excoriated President Trump on Friday for calling on Russia to be invited back to the Group of Seven, blasting the move as the “antithesis” of principled realism and “a sure path to diminishing America’s leadership in the world.”

He became the third Republican senator to condemn Trump’s statement that the G-7, a group of major industrial powers, should not be meeting this weekend in Quebec without Russia.

McCain contrasted Trump’s friendly words for Russia to his hard-line negotiating tactics with allies such as Canada, Mexico and the European Union on trade.

“The president has inexplicably shown our adversaries the deference and esteem that should be reserved for our closest allies,” McCain said in a statement.

I think McLame may have brain damage. Probably for decades.

Our allies are still our friends...

Not likely for long.

...but some countries have had their national security subsidized by the U.S., while also benefiting from trade deals that squeeze low/middle-income workers more than the affluent. Trump to allies...that’s not acceptable any more.

The president comes from a world where you don't have allies or friends, you have competitors and opponents. The countries we dealt with differently before will have to get used to the fact that we're looking at them differently now. If we can enter into business arrangements with them that benefit us then fine. They are our competitors but we can work with them. Otherwise they're opponents.

As John McCain lay dying his parting words display a stupidity that has long remain hidden by his contemptuous attitude toward patriotic Americans. A man who remains bitter in his dying days casts aspersion upon his life.

There must be something in Arizona's water.

I am old enough to remember what happened to my childhood conservative hero, Barry Goldwater.

Whatever it is seems to have afflicted McCain much earlier and more acutely.

McCAIN = Diminishing his family name and any chance they might have in regaining their place in history.

Please CHECK the bottoms of his feet. Is there a date located somewhere? Expiration must be close at hand.

Did anyone see "EmperorRex ( REX )'s thread on twitter going back to the origins of Muh-Russia and how McCain and Ed Cox ( Nixon's son in law ) seem to be the glue at that base of this horrible tower of babble that holds it together?

Go here: https://twitter.com/_ImperatorRex_/

This one copy pasted stands out, and checking out the entire thread is worth the effort:

"56. But what an amazing coincidence that Papadopoulos, Priebus, Page, Manafort & Gates ALL linked to Ed Cox, a GOPe swamp insider. Who just happens to be close, to none other than John McCain."

“WTF is so debilitating to Arizona’s voter base. Total idiots.’

All right scum. I’ll play. Tell me who your senators are. You haven’t created a page. You just call people names.

We in Arizona do what the Freeepers suggest every election. Vote for the least awful choice. We run people in the primary and lose. You would not have liked the two stepping Hillary wannabe who ran against Chuckles McCain. She would have voted one hundred percent with the enemy. McCain and Flake run their mouths, but they usually vote with us.

Now piss off.

Likely he is dead. His worthless staff has been “talking” for him for months.

McCain is one lucky glioblastoma recipient. Within the first three months of her diagnosis, she would start a sentence and after about six words it would turn into gibberish. Going into her sixth month, it was all gibberish and she tried to give hand signs. The she started writing messages, but it was microscopic small and unreadable, plus it then became just written loops. Going into her first year she slept most of the time, and was having seizures. She died in her fifteenth month after diagnosis. I have had two other people I was close with and NO ONE was able to give detailed assessments of anything in their lives. Yet the media continues to report crap and if they did a little research they would find the truth about glioblastoma and the insidious nature of the cancer.

Who is he?
**************
He’s the Senator who left Washington before Christmas last year and has been absent from the Senate ever since, not casting a single vote. ;-)

Great. Another good reason for the Spygate indictments to come swiftly.

We want McLame to pass away knowing the vast majority of American believe him to be what he is, a traitor.

McCain will be McCain. But we have been putting up with this “America’s leadership in the world” hokum for twenty years. Where does that come from? It’s a bumper sticker that we all accept and it has caused incalculable damage to us & the world. We act like every country is our colony. That’s what neocons think, but Americans don’t want that.

Die, Songbird, you old clown.

You should have taken the honorable way out when they caught you taking money in the Keating Five scandal.
