John McCain Appreciation

Who knows.

Trump's fate is obvious, however. I strongly encourage all MA-GA men to leave Trump and find their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Comrade Trump is a Manchurian candidate, mafia-affiliated criminal with severe mental retardation.

I lean towards the "McCain was a fairly generic warmongering Republican" camp but any politician that can piss off both the far left goons and Trump dickriders must be doing something right

Who started the foolish propaganda: McCain a POW for six years. McCain never talked. Think about all the CIA, CIA contract agents and those suspected of being CIA killed overseas over the past forty-years. Steve Kerr, basketball coach. His father was accused of being a CIA contract agent. Dead. Colonel Higgins, USMC. Dead. Daniel Pearl, accused of being a contract CIA agent. Dead. So McCain, a commissioned officer. McCain, son of a US Navy Admiral, a man who was allowed in the highest level meetings. Are you telling me McCain did not talk but North Viet Namese allowed him to live for six years?

So, for a minute, you Moran, think about what he could of told them! Think about it long and hard...

He was a pilot. Think about it. Idiot. Moran.

"I hate your off-spring." Does this mean we are not friends? US State Department marched out a sanitized polished version of a war hero. I say McCain was a loser and a coward with no honor. See his treatment or mistreatment of his first wife. See Keating 5. There were US servicemen whom were silenced. McCain talked. Why did Col. Higgins get executed? Col. Higgins would not talk. Why did the so-called P.O.W. return to US fit and healthy? McCain talked. Fact.

Certainly didn't agree with plenty of McCain's politics, and he did fairly often buy into the the republican party's own nonsense propaganda, but at other times he represented just about the last ounce of decency, respectability, and patriotism left in the Republican party. He was a normal war-mongering Republican of the past few decades but at least didn't fall to the depths of evil like 99% of the Republican party has over the past decade. They've moved from war-mongers to outright traitors and villains. As are clear from some of the comments on this thread he became hated by his own party for not falling in line with their horrid descent into an amoral abyss. Sad that he is gone, and sad to see the last powerful voice of reason in the republican party gone. As he well knew, these are dark times for the country, and no doubt seeing this country that he spent his life serving fall so steeply by his own party must have saddened him greatly, but I guess I'm a little glad he only had to witness the first couple years of America's downfall. He died a legend and could go down in history as the final true republican. RIP

About half of LRC are Trump-loving traitors against this country.

Also, I've seen some people bring up him leaving his first wife. Yeah, that sounds pretty bad the way it went down.

But I hope none of the Trump fan boys are bringing that up as a criticism. How many wives has Trump left? He was having affairs left and right as Melania was pregnant and then right after giving birth. One of his wives (ivana?) accused him of RAPING her.

Don't bring up wife treatment Trumpsters, you really don't wanna go there when attacking others.

Once again, McCain is bad, Trump is worse.

From these responses, it looks like he will have plenty of company.

He played a part in American foreign policy, killing many.

He did at least stop Trump's diabolic health plan.

RIP Sen. McCain. He was great American who dedicated his life to serving our country. A rare principled politician who admitted his mistakes and learned from them, i.e. campaign finance reform, and treated his political adversaries with respect, because they are his fellow Americans. Those are qualities we need more of today.

Here's some good advice for many here...

"Stop listening to the loadmouths on the radio, internet, and t.v." - Sen. John McCain.

I'm no fan of McCain the politician, but it would be intolerable if the false claims about the Forrestal incident are allowed to stand on these boards. There was a thorough US Navy investigation of what happened on the Forrestal, and the result of that investigation is clear. While McCain's aircraft was on the flight deck an F-4 accidentally launched a Zuni rocket that hit the A-4 next to him and possibly his plane as well. The Zuni did not explode but went through the gas tank of the aircraft it hit spilling hundreds of gallons of gasoline, and starting a fire. McCain's aircraft dropped two bombs on the flight deck, which he assisted in rolling over the side of the ship. In the meantime the ensuing fire from the gasoline engulfed a large number of aircraft, and caused secondary explosions of ordnance. It's worth mentioning also that one of the primary objectives of a Navy report like this is to assign responsibility for the outcome.

Nothing in the Navy report supports the contention than McCain was in any way the cause of this accident. If reliable evidence to the contrary were ever produced, you can be sure the Navy would have re-opened the investigation, because this was the most serious accident involving an aircraft carrier since the end of WW II (134 were killed, and the Forrestal was out of commission for two years for repairs).

U.S. code calls for flags to be lowered in the event of the death of a member of Congress “on the day of death and the following day.”

Trump ordered the flag over the White House to be raised to normal this morning after the bare minimum.

The flags at the US Capitol remain at half-staff.

No compass. Trader. Creep. Not a war hero. Reckless pilot. Silver spoon politician.

Teamed up with Feinstein the Chinese spy who shagged me.

Need we say more?

Oh ya.

Also dumped his first wife who created the black flag POW/MIA movement while he was a POW.

Dumped her middle class ass for a beer brewery tycoon heiress. $$$

Look it up.

Must have all rotted his brains.

Now we impeach

Forrestal wasn't the first altered US Navy investigation. Forrestal wasn't the last altered US Navy investigation.

I disagree with trump on most things, but things like this remind me he is not the hero we want but the hero we need.

Hey Mr. Hidden Truth. There's video of it from PLAT cameras on the Forrestal flight deck at the time, you stupid troll idiot. It's clearly seen that the zuni rocket fires off from the the other side of the ship, traveles across the flight deck and strikes the aircraft parked along side McCain's. You can see McCain climb out and down the nose of his plane surrounded by flames. I've seen it, because we all had to watch a training film called Trial by Fire about the Forrestal and the lessons learned. McCain's plane was no where near the plane that fired the rocket. His plane was on the other side of the flight deck where the rocket impacted.

The fake news that the Trump trolls have tried to spread here about the Forrestal fire is so obviously fake.

The only power you have as a citizen is the vote.

spoied brats want a do over for the 2016 election and it won't happen.

Do what you want in 2020 but Trump base is STRONG.

Loved his baking when I went through a sweet tooth phase.

Decent fries too.

Won't see a finer senator in congress as we did in John McCain. Will be nice to see BETO O'ROUKE in the Senate reach across party lines like McCain did. Get rid of lying ted.
