McCain has passed away. R.I.P.

[Althea]

Conveniently. Left wing loons said he was insane and unfit for office in 2008. Now they are overflowing with faux poutrage over Trump's comments on him.

What a full on crock of shit.

McCain was an incompetent drunk who rode his family's coat tails to a military career. He did act as a true hero when he was tortured for years. He gets credit for that. Most on the Left do not agree with his political positions. At least he showed a modicum of decency in his waning years by voting against the Republican denial of healthcare coverage to millions.

trump is forbidden from attending the funeral. This is an 'adults only' affair. It will be interesting to see how the Orange Buffoon chokes on the words he will be forced to utter in remembrance of a Republican hero.

By his own admission, he was less than stellar at the academy. He finished at the bottom of his class. He was a well known drunk/partier. I'm sure you're aware that his father/grandfather were admirals?

He never learned the requirements to be a competent pilot, crashing more than one plane in training runs. He once came close to drowning when he put the craft down in the water, and didn't know how to quickly exit the plane.

Some reading here. This has never been a secret

And? So? Never been a secret about GW's "service" either. The dude's dead, did much more than you ever will for this shithole nation.

Nah, don't think I'll bother. He was a human being, we're all mixed bags and endless improvement projects.

Indeed we are, which is the flavor of the post you initially took to heart.

Actually you have no idea what I did or did not take to heart, initially or otherwise. Personally I think the "conversation" on these boards about him post death is silly and childish, and as cannot be avoided in american society, stupidly politicized.

Actually, it was pretty evident. You entered a discussion, and made your feelings abundantly clear.

Yes...politicized. That's what these boards do. Notice who started the nonsense...again? Our resident Right Wing troll. I merely responded to her claims about those who don't agree with McCain's policies. You made it personal.

All of the hostility over John McCain? Jesus, people! We should just get used to it until he's planted.

You liked America when McCain was dropping bombs on the NVA lol?

Why don’t I believe that.

Because the colonialists didn't have the support of the American people perhaps, any more than the Buffoon has now? Anyway, servicemen are simply naïve pawns, but we can respect brave ones even so.

As we offer heartfelt prayers and condolences for John McCain’s family, do recall that his mother, Roberta McCain, is still alive — at age 106.
