What we really do not get, is what is with John McCain.

He ran for President. He could have won. He selected an outstanding Vice President, to run with him. He won the nomination.

They what the heck? He stood down.

He stood down. A presidential candidate, who was leading, and he STOOD DOWN..

Sorry, but that is when John McCain blew it. And he blew it big time.

Now he is suffering greatly. I am sorry for that.

But really, he should focus on getting better.

Everyone needs to let me work at improving.

When he’s better, we can all talk about things in politics again.

...and corrupt.

The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The five senators – Alan Cranston (Democrat of California), Dennis DeConcini (Democrat of Arizona), John Glenn (Democrat of Ohio), John McCain (Republican of Arizona), and Donald W. Riegle, Jr. (Democrat of Michigan) – were accused of improperly intervening in 1987 on behalf of Charles H. Keating, Jr., Chairman of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of a regulatory investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB). The FHLBB subsequently backed off taking action against Lincoln.

Lincoln Savings and Loan collapsed in 1989, at a cost of $3.4 billion to taxpayers.[1] Some 23,000 Lincoln bondholders were defrauded and many investors lost their life savings.

Sorry the second to the last line:

Everyone needs to let him work at improving.

When he’s better, we can all talk about things in politics again.

(sorry)

John McCain should have been brought up on charges for violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

It’s not “hate”; just a statement of fact.

It’s not hate; it’s disdain. Disdain for a “Republican” who puts himself before country and party. Disdain for a moron who votes for Obama’s POS CIA director WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF WATERBOARDING but whines that Haspel hasn’t been contrite.

You know, I’m willing to give McCain the benefit of doubt and assume he’s ALREADY BRAIN DEAD and that some idiot on his staff is ghost-writing his book and making proclamations in his stead.

Otherwise why aren’t we seeing him?

GIVE IT UP, JOHN! DIE OR RESIGN ALREADY!!!!

Well, he is dying isn’t he? Kelly is just saying to wait out McScourge. It’ll be over soon.

True, McScourge did vote against ObamaCare repeal. That hast cost a lot of lives.

“It doesn’t matter, he’s dying anyway.”

If that's a slur, then I don't understand the meaning of "slur" any more.

I wonder what other context might be left out of this storyfable....from vox among others.

Most likely, we all will soon learn perhaps not the whole truth about his lifetime of “heroics”, and for whom, but enough.

And, most likely, we all will be thoroughly disgusted.

Personally, I’m looking forward to more fully understanding his finances and his foundation.

Same with the finances of a few other lifer Senators and Representatives with curious “rags to riches” stories during their lifetime of service.

How do they do it? What service do they provide or what do they sell to become so well off? Speeches?

Riddle me this, how many Senators and Reps does it take for someone to effectively own and operate the US GovCo?

Neither the CNN nor VOX articles mention this little factoid:

Sadler's comments were first reported by The Hill, which said she made them during a closed-door meeting of about two dozen White House communications staffers on Thursday morning.

And it wasn't made in the context of "a joke" either.

Mountain Out Of A Molehill!

Speaking of which, the White House sure seems to be a Mountain Of Moles, doesn't it? Anti-Trump leaker everywhere.
